Impact Wrestling has announced that they will not be moving forward with their planned line of action figures due to the toys not meeting their standards or the outlined timeframe for release. The figures were originally stated to be made by Asylum, but it has been clarified that they were being produced by another company.
In a statement, Impact Wrestling expressed their regret over the situation and stated that they are currently in talks with other action figure manufacturers for a future release. They also assured fans that full refunds for the pre-ordered figures will be issued at the end of this month.
Asylum Wrestling Store, the company responsible for creating their own officially licensed pro wrestling action figures, took to Twitter to clarify that they were not the manufacturer of the figures that were pulled by Impact Wrestling. They apologized to fans and revealed that they had been aware for about a month that the release of the Impact action figures was in jeopardy. Asylum confirmed that they have already issued refunds to those who pre-ordered the figures from their store.
It is unfortunate that the planned line of action figures did not meet Impact Wrestling’s standards, but it is commendable that they are taking the necessary steps to rectify the situation. By seeking out other action figure manufacturers, Impact Wrestling is demonstrating their commitment to providing high-quality merchandise to their fans.
While the exact reasons for the figures not meeting Impact Wrestling’s standards have not been disclosed, it is clear that they are determined to deliver a product that lives up to their expectations. Fans who were eagerly anticipating the release of the action figures will undoubtedly be disappointed by this news, but the promise of full refunds should help alleviate any frustration.
Asylum Wrestling Store’s clarification on Twitter serves as a reminder that sometimes information can be misrepresented or misunderstood. It is important to verify facts and sources before drawing conclusions. Asylum Wrestling Store has taken responsibility for issuing refunds to those who pre-ordered the figures from their store, showing their dedication to customer satisfaction.
As Impact Wrestling continues to explore other options for action figure manufacturers, fans can look forward to future releases that meet the company’s standards. The cancellation of this particular line of action figures may be a setback, but it is not the end. Impact Wrestling remains committed to providing fans with a wide range of merchandise options.
