NWA:TNA sent out a press release this afternoon announcing that they had come to terms with Toy Biz to create a line of TNA action figures. PWInsider.com had broken the news about the partnership earlier this month. Toy Biz, which is owned by Marvel Comics, handled the action figure lines for World Championship Wrestling.
The complete release reads as follows:
TNA WRESTLING ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH TOY BIZ
June 24, 2004 (Nashville, TN) -- TNA Entertainment, LLC, announced today that Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) has granted Toy Biz, a division of Marvel Enterprises, Inc., the exclusive license to manufacture toys based on TNA’s entertainment programming.
“As TNA Wrestling enters the toy industry we are very excited to have the opportunity to work with a toy company as respected and prestigious as Toy Biz,” Dixie Carter, President TNA Entertainment said “Our unique family friendly brand of professional wrestling supported by our talented stars will create a fantastic product line for years to come.”
TNA Wrestling recently announced a weekly national television show called “Impact!” that will airs on Fox Sports Net Friday’s 3pm local (check local listings). “Impact!” is filmed in Universal Studios @ Universal Orlando Resort.
Alan Fine, Toy Biz President and CEO added, “Toy Biz is thrilled to be part of TNA, as it emerges as a dynamic worldwide force in family entertainment. Today’s wrestler is a super athlete and Toy Biz has the experience and skill to capture their tremendous physical athleticism in action figures and toys.”
The alternative for the true wrestling fan, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling prides itself on delivering quality, family programming that is clean, innovative, cutting edge and with the high-risk, high-flying athleticism that TNA Wrestling is known for. Available on pay-per-view every Wednesday night at 8pm ET/5pm PT on iN DEMAND, DIRECTV and TVN as well as Viewer’s Choice, Bell ExpressVu and Shaw PPV in Canada. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling “Impact!” Friday’s at 3pm local on Fox Sports Net (check local listings). For more information, log onto www.tnawrestling.com.
I’d rather see there DVD Get distributed in all honesty. But TNA Action figures could be entertaining. Yet how many children are going to have Wrists flexible enough to do the Styles Clash? Or moves to that effect. This could possibly be a bad idea; Considering the Average TNA fan is classed as a smark, who no longer play with there action figures.
I have to say this though, If there’s ever a decent Styles, Low ki and Daniels made, I’d purchase these.
Thoughts?
