In Brief: In 2005 WWE and Jakks capitalized on the Edge-Lita-Hardy love triangle with a special action figure three-pack.

Action Figure Spotlight: Edge, Lita, and Matt Hardy 2005 Jakks Pacific Treacherous Trios Series 3

Few stories have ever been as hot as the Edge-Lita-Matt Hardy saga from 10 years ago. That love triangle combined all the intrigue of an insider wrestling story with the salaciousness of a celebrity gossip rag scandal. Fans clearly sided with Hardy at the time, but the whole chain of events actually propelled Edge to main event status and breathed new life into Lita as a heel.

Jakks Pacific and Mattel have made plenty of figures of Edge and Hardy over the years, but the three have only ever been included in one set together. (Note: Jakks also made several figures of Lita, but Mattel has not produced one or announced any plans to do so.) In late 2005, Jakks included a three-pack of Edge, Lita, and Hardy in the third wave of its Treacherous Trios line.

The Treacherous Trios pack has Edge in blue jeans and Hardy in his traditional baggy pants, very similar to other figures of both men. The Lita figure is more unique, though, and is one of only a few that capture her heel look. The Lita figure has a black top and baggy purple pants, with black shorts underneath.

The three-pack originally retailed for about $25 and is pretty easy to find online today on sites like eBay and Amazon. However, if you’re looking for one of these sets, shop around. Sellers regularly list this set for anywhere from $80 to $100, but they typically only sell for around $50. If you’re looking to pick one up, be patient until you find one for a reasonable price.
