That is still the greatest excuse i've ever heard. But...it wasn't an excuse. A lot of toy companies and other lines get pushed/delayed/rushed/botched cause of the Chinese New Year. Most toys are made in China, where, SURPRISE, they have holidays and stuff just like we do. The real problem here that when you tell a bunch of ignorant and spoiled children that that there precious wreslting figures are ot gonne be here when THEY want, no matter what the reason, these children will complain.

I don't even think the tights are the worst part. Has anyone seen the paint apps on his 5 o'Clock shadow? I wish I had the fig to show you guys but if someone has one, it would help my point. The paint apps are so f*cked up, he looks like he slammed his jaw into a pile of crap!

The saddest thing about this figure is that people are going to buy it because it's so odd that people find it unique, ergo Jakks goes unpunished for their crime. C'mon people let this one stay on the shelves FOREVER.

People can say what they want about the quality of pre-Real Scan technology Jakks figures, or even the less-than-stellar Backlash series TTL throwaways, but this is the worst Shawn Michaels figure of them all.
He has never worn anything remotely similar to that attire. Not to mention, this fantasy attire or however you would like to describe it is tacky from head-to-toe.
There was simply no thought put into this at all by anyone that could claim to be a wrestling fan, and it's terrible that we've reached the point of something being so bad that it's worth buying for that very reason.
Seriously? All I can do is shake my head, have a little laugh and pretend to move on as if nothing has happened here...

Nope, Undertaker has no logos on his tights, but strangely, they bothered to include the tattoo on the back/sides of his neck. I think the Edge/Big Show set looked like the back-of-package pics, but I don't remember all the details. Show was definitely in that same old inaccurate singlet we've been getting for years, and Edge was...very red. At least he had his logos on the sides of his tights though. I can't remember if he had the details on his boots, though. wow, just wow. does the Undertaker have any logos on his tights?..what did the Edge/Big Show set look like? do they differ from the protos on the back of the box?

That is even worse than the BNB 8 figure with plain grey sweatpants. Jakks is just pathetic now.

i know everyone's been saying jakks has been doing nothing but trying to push out some left-over parts in half-assed attempts at giving us "what we want" but man, i didn't believe it was that terrible until i saw those pics. they're interesting to say the least, but i'd never buy anything that bad unless it was garage-sale cheap.
thanks for sharing.

That is probably the worst RA style figure Jakks have produced.

Jakks is just getting ridiculous now. They are really starting to disappoint a lot of collectors set after set after set and they just don't care. But I guess thats what we've come to expect from Jakks.
