Series 3 (2)
Sabu & Raven

Series 4 (2)
Kevin Nash & Chris Sabin
Christopher Daniels & Homicide

(Set also includes Rhino & Christian Cage, which I may pick up depending on how the Christian looks because I don't have a Rhino TNA figure yet)

- Updated to reflect Christmas receivings. (1.9.7.)

New CS 2 Packs Announced!

It's being reported that the next series of CS 2 Packs will include:

Midnight Express
Strike Force
Hollywood Blondes

Hollywood Blondes are probably my favorite tag team ever, so I'm excited for this set more than any other before. Plus, it will mark the first figure release of BRIAN PILLMAN.

This also marks the first time since CS 2 Pack Series 1 that all three sets have been actual tag teams.

Current Figures That Need To Be Updated

This is a list of people who already have figures in RA form, but need new figures because their current/last maybe wrong in some way or they changed a gimmick, etc. So these are those who need updating along with some ideas of how to update them. They are not in any particular order.

Charlie Haas - He needs a new headscan since his return. Some new trunks would be great as well.
Chris Masters - He needs a figure with a smaller torso and facial hair.
Jerry Lawler - He only has a classic figure in RA form, so we need something for him as an announcer. Two pack with Jim Ross is good.
Lance Cade - He could use a figure with facial hair/darker hair as well as one in just tights without that annoying molded on sleeve-jacket thing.
Super Crazy - A scan with longer hair and not screaming preferred.
Viscera - Pajamas. Even put him in a two pack with Charlie Haas.
Gregory Helms - With beard, new head scan, slightly longer hair, entrance gear.
Jamie Noble - As a pitbull. Maybe even new headscan.
Matt Hardy - New headscan needed desperately. (And no, the DA is not good)
Sylvan - The only figure we have for Sylvan has TTL arms. He needs a whole new figure with all RA parts, new trunks and a new headscan with shorter hair and less goofy look on his face.
Paul London - He needs a headscan with longer hair. He could be in a HooliganZ two pack and they could come with masks/vests for entrance gear.
Al Snow - He's on the ECW roster, so why not a current figure of him?
Matt Striker - His RA22 figure could use some updating since his ECW jump.
Rene Dupree - He needs a longer hair scan, then some new attire like he wears in ECW now.
Shannon Moore - Complete make over to fit his pseudo goth/punk stage. Put him in an ECW series.
Tazz - He needs an RA figure in a suit. A two pack with Joey Styles would be excellent.
