The figures are $24.99 each and come with removable gear, such as Lethal\u2019s robe and Steen\u2019s \u201cKill Steen Kill\u201d t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>These are the first figures ever made of Mark and Jay Briscoe. Lethal previously appeared in Jakks Pacific\u2019s TNA line (in his \u201cBlack Machismo\u201d persona) and Mattel has already produced a few figures of Kevin Owens\/Steen.<\/p>\n<p>Figures Toy Co. has also been rolling out images of figures for its upcoming Rising Stars and Legends lines on Twitter (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FiguresToyCo\" target=\"_blank\">@FiguresToyCo<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been doing reveals once a week, and have several ready to go in the coming weeks,\u201d said Chris DePetrillo, chief marketing officer for Figures Toy Co. \u201cIt&#8217;s all dependent on production, but we are at the point where as we see prototypes and finished products, we are happy to share with the fanbase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Legends Series 1 will include Jim Cornette, New Jack, and Blue Meanie. Mikey Whipwreck has been moved to Legends Series 2, according to DePetrillo. Rising Stars Series 1 features an all Bullet Club lineup: A.J. Styles, Doc Gallows, and the Young Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>Other Bullet Club members planned for future series include Kenny Omega, Tama Tonga, and \u201cBullet Babe\u201d Amber Gallows. Also planned are Cliff Compton, Chris Hero, Joey Ryan, and Brian Myers. Figures Toy Co. has released sample images of several of these figures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bullet Club stars are going to do tremendous as figures,\u201d DePetrillo said. \u201cYou have guys like Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks who are getting first ever figures, who are masters of self-promotions \u2013 all over social media, etc. They&#8217;re three of the most popular stars in the business today. A.J. Styles and Doc Gallows were always expected to do well, but now even more so considering where their careers have taken them. Tama Tonga is another first ever figure with a look that makes him stand out from the pack. That&#8217;s a guy who was born to have a figure made of him.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3422338303\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Figures Toy Co. plans to add several more names to its list of figures as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only new names that are public for the second wave of signings are Sami Callihan and Ivelisse, which was a story <a href=\"http:\/\/vip.pwtorch.com\/2016\/04\/20\/15781\/\">you broke in your interview with her<\/a>,\u201d DePetrillo said. \u201cThere will be announcements as to who is officially on board in the coming months, but we are still working on deals with additional talents as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DePetrillo noted that Figures Toy Co. will produce limited numbers of each figure, \u201cbut enough to satisfy both existing and new collectors.\u201d Figures Toy Co. is also contemplating producing variants of figures that sell out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach star, no matter the line, is being made in the same amount,\u201d DePetrillo said. \u201cFor those who don&#8217;t know, this isn&#8217;t going to be Mattel WWE production numbers.
