I was just listening to Lance Storm on the Figure Four Online website (which you have to a subscriber to listen to). On the most recent show they were talking about his figure and how they screwed up his bio on the back. He wasn't upset about that and seemed to think it was funny. The thing that he is upset about are a couple stipulations in his contract that Jakks did not fulfill. He states that Jakks was supposed to send him a prototype for his approval before the figure was produced, which they did not do. And they were also supposed to send him 24 of the figures after they were produced, which they have yet to do. He says that he could sue them over the prototype thing if he wanted to be a dick, but he just wants his 24 figures.
Then he ends up saying that his head looks more like Robert Patrick (T-1000 in Terminator 2) than it does him and jokes that maybe they sent the prototype to him for approval.
This is probably useless info, but it sheds a little light on contract details with the Classic Superstars.

Hahaha, nice. When I saw the title of this thread, I was hoping that he posted a commentary about it on his site.

Jakks quality has gone straight to hell and its obvious they could care less about their WWE license since it ends at the end of this year.
Its pretty sad that Jakks has decided to go out with a fizzle rather than a bang.

Nothing wrong with a Robert Patrick face on the figure. Means we can do a Marine custom fig lol.

They prob. knew that Lance would want it changed so they just went ahead anyway. I would be upset about not getting my figures too. I think everyone has that in their contract with CS b/c Jake the snake had those 12 3 packs that had one strap or w/e then i think Earthquake and 12 he signed before he died.

LOL that's pretty funny what he said. It's not surprising though that Jakks don't do what they agree to, they lie to everyone, we all know that. Hardly surprising that they try to get away without giving him 24 measly figures aswell, Jakks would do anything for a few dollars.

I'm glad Lance Storm said this stuff, maybe Jakks will finally step up and stop screwing people over, wrestlers and collectors alike. |

How'd he settle on 24 figures? It's probably something that's in everyone's contract. I'm sure they make special cases though, as the Ultimate Warrior seemed to have 100s of his figures. |

Someone show Lance the Bossman figure and tell him he should be happy his came out as well as it did. (Jakks should honor the contract though)

I'm just waiting for someone to post here saying that Lance should stop bitching and be thankful for what Jakks has given him. THANK YOU JAKKS! lol.

People back up Lance storm b/c he isn't happy with his figure but we have to give our 14$ for the  in thing and when we complain everyone says be glad we got him. I will never understand it. |

LoL...Its great that Lance was as pissed as me about his "bio"
Although I don't agree about the head...I think its one of the best heads Jakks has made

If this is true then that is bad business. No wonder we are having so many problems with Jakks quality lately.

That's cool to get a number of your figures in your contract!

He should be, jakks again making stupid mistakes like that is inexcusable, his bio should be done properly. As for the fig, its a bobblehead, another mistake they probably tried to hide. Jakks is really starting to show their true selves as a sleezy buisness.
