The holiday grind is on, and Jakks is in full-swing. K-Mart has a new TTL 3-pack with repaints of the Undertaker, Austin, and Road Dogg. The Road Dogg figure in this set is the first TTL figure of him to feature his tattoos. Wal-Mart's got their first TTL 4-pack, with figures of X-Pac, the Big Show, Austin, and Mankind.

New in electronics stores is the TTL: Super Stunners assortment, and figure includes glow-in-the dark accessories. The lineup is the same as the STOMP 5:Bloodlines assortment that was cancelled and includes Gangrel, Kane, Christian, Edge, Undertaker, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Jakks may have cancelled Bloodlines, but you can pick up Austin's Bloodlines figure in this assortment.

Also new from Jakks is their great-looking Wrestlemania 2000 packaging. These new package designs look fantastic and will really catch anyone's attention. Another promotion by Jakks is Go for the Gold. Each figure in Titan Tron Live Series 2 includes a championship title belt, and 20,000 of them feature real 24-karat gold plates. In case you were wondering, Austin has his Smoking Skull belt, Big Show has the Hardcore title, Kane and X-Pac include the tag titles, Shamrock has the Intercontinental title, and the Rock has the world title.

The new Back Talkin' Crushers are IN STOCK NOW and include Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Big Show, and The Undertaker.

Final Results of last week's Poll:
Accessories sell. Smackdown Series 2 pulled away to win last week's poll as favorite new Jakks set. Coming in a close second was Titan Tron Live Series 2. Double Slam 2 had a strong showing despite finishing third.

The Rock

Superstar Series 8

The Rock's Superstar Series 8 figure was one of the hottest figures of the year. With The People's Eyebrow and his striped pants, this excellent version of the Rock continues to remain popular.
