Does anyone know when R.I. stopped making the original Vixens? Thanks

I think it was around 5-6 years ago. Some retailers received a new shipment of Vixens within the last year or so, but I'm not sure if they were made to the original specs. There are a couple knockoffs out there as well.

I think Paycheck Baits is making them now, and calling them The Repo Man.

They were re-released as the vixen by reaction innovations within the past year. Now it looks like they aren't replenishing that stock? There are still some places that have them if you do a google search you can find them.

RI has reintroduced them

Maybe I need to ask this question differently. I'm looking at buying some Vixens from a guy that has about half a dozen. He says they are original first run however they are not in boxes. He bought them around late 09 or early 2010. How would I know if they are originals and does this time frame seem right? Thanks

I have a Repo man and have seen the reintroduced Vixens.

Yea that sounds right. The vixen just came back last year. So 2009 was the original.

How's the new compare to the original? Not talking about the paycheck brand.
