Hello all-
Perhaps this has been addressed elsewhere already, but what is the deal with the apparant "new" Koloffs 2-pack? Is that a new Ivan head scan as well? And when do you think these will hit the shelves?
Thanks in advance to all,
MaskedSuperstarFan

Yes, that's the one I'm referring to. I would much prefer that to the "red" version. Ivan's head scan also looks different (and looks to be a somewhat better likeness in my opinion).

I know man, WTF Jakks!!! Put the protos out AFTER figs are already out? And they are different (better) than what I already paid for and opened. Come on everyone, CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! We all want our $23.00+ back. Now that I got that out of my system, the Ivan does look better, not as high of forehead. Might just be the angle but it does look better. The black kicks A#@!! Gimmie, Gimmie!

Ivan is a new scan. but it's the same as the one on the red. Nikita is the CS19 figure withought the hair stubble painted. It was a proto so I guess they decided to go with red. Like with the Davey Boy Smith who went from having the HW torso in the proto to the SHW torso in the final product.

I dunno I kinda prefer them in Red.....
I plan on Giving Ivan the short kickers, it may make him the right height and will solve the incorrect boots issue(somewhat).
I already fixed up CS19 Nikita with tall kickers so Ill just swap the head from this set onto him.
I still dont see why Nikita was released twice in the SAME gear though

I've heard rumors that there might be a Russians 3 pack coming but who knows as we haven't seen many of the other planned 3 packs. I actually like the black ones better hopefully the do come out

That was how I hoped they would look. I can't believe Jakks could'nt even be bothered to make that tiny change and instead gave us a straight rerelease of Nikita. I'm sure that's the same Ivan scan though, just that he's looking down on the actual figures so his forehead looks bigger.
I don't think there's gonna be a Russians 3 pack and as much as I wanted all three of them I really hope there isn't a whole 3 pack of them as it's a total waste. We've also heard of other 3 packs that are supposed to happen like Nasty Boys (equally pointless) and with only a year left there can't possibly be space for them.

I'm glad I never picked up the red version. They look much better in black. As for Ivan's scan, it may be the same scan, but the eyebrows and beard look to be a bit bushier, and darker in color. If only they had fixed the boots. And gotten rid of John Cena's padlock accessory!

I still dont see why Nikita was released twice in the SAME gear though i did the same thing with their boots & it does make them both look a whole lot better. i also pushed ivans head back & put some super glue in there to hold it so he isn't looking down in that weird way that the torso makes him. |

What you all bitching about. Some people want that?, when I read a thread about a month back, a lot of people didn't want any figures, to be painted black and wanted them to be painted in red/blue/green/yellow etc.

The point was just to use color more often when it was appropriate and turned into a criticism of the reliance on black in professional wrestling altogether. For example, we have all seen Umaga wear red, so for a change a figure in red would be nice. More to the point, these figures would have been welcomed in black (instead of a straight re-release of Nikita) but Jakks decided to go the other way. I actually prefer Ivan in the red, but hate the idea of having two of the same Nikitas. |

I'm pretty sure Jakks decided to go with red because they still had some CS Nikita singles parts in red lying around.
