I know a lot of people will NOT HAVE THE BALLS TO DO THIS, but I need to say that I HEAVILY AND STRONGLY APOLOGIZE. I needed a few people to snap me out of it. I forgot all about the years and years Jakks has done for us and I focus on one toyfair interview with HHH talking about how "life like mattel figures are" when I need to remember that he's there to sell the product. He won't come out there saying anything negative because he needs to get people to buy mattel's stuff.
I have so many jakks accessories and playsets. I mean how can we forget "backstage mayhem" which is good for any figure, it's not gimmicky at all and it has amazing action sounds and playability. also the real sounds arena, trash talking stage, TITAN TRON FREAKING LIVE! I had it for 11 years and it still works. Not to mention the Real Scale Ring!!!!! Who cares about Pro-tension technology anyway?!?! Are you really gonna pick a ring that is smaller than Jakks spring ring over a Ring that is the largest toy ring ever made? I can understand if you never were able to get an RSR to get Mattel's ring but to say it's better than an RSR is just stupidity. I have to admit I was a bit upset we didn't see a RSR 6 sided ring but once the UFC line had protos coming out for Winter Toyfair 09, the RSR octagon was the first octagon to be seen. I still Have my RSR and I love it so much. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for forgetting about the years of dedication to settle for a 8 min video of Triple H selling the product.
One more thing, I know I post a lot on here but it's because this is a tough decision for collectors now. I know I bashed Jakks but I honestly forgot all they've done and I will buy TNA figures no matter what so there's no point for me to bash them anyway but If you are gonna pick Mattel that's fine, just don't forget all the years Jakks has done. You can take a few bad months in the lives of jakks to heart all you want. It just shows how spoiled people are just as lewscher pointed out.

RSR was crap. It was constructed piss poor and its too big and NOT in scale. I'll agree with that.No one seems to remember the first one that fell apart and was complete crap and you had to call the company at least 3 times to get the right parts to fix it. Then they released all the other ones that you had to buy for a cage, MITB part, and everything else. People like to praise Jakks at the end yet when the stuff was out people complained and bitched about how bad it was. It seems like everytime they do a interview and tell collectors they care people jump back on the wagon. |

thats a wonderful post man kudos... ill admit jakks has sometimes gotten things wrong or messed up but i was begining to think i was the only one left who thought hey without them the classic line would end up being ten years later with what mattel is ding..jakks was a decade ahead of the game with the classic line
and i liked the RSR and its scale just fine...i will agree it was a little easy for my stupid friend to step on and breaK on me but he was a idiot in alot of other ways anyhow...
just did a solid wood frame with leggs and made snug holes to drive the posts down in...
made it to the same scale as they did...
i take pride in my classic collection and loom forward as others do now to using the legends line to filling in them blanks...right off the bat for me is sting and stiener.

I really don't know what to think anymore. There's such ambivalence inside of my tiny heart.
I'm pissed because of the DA thang. That's what killed me. Everything else I'm fine with 100% Jeremy lied to us and he's a scum for doing so. He told us that he believes all of our figures ought to live inside the same universe (or something like that); then, he makes these huge a** figs that don't mesh at all with RA figs. I mean, the damn DA's are too tall for the RSR. What's that tell you? Their butts touch the top rope half the time.
I had no problem with TTL, R3, and RA's. I thought, "Natural evolution." But DA was a way to make money; a way that made us go out and re-purchase all of our figures all over again.
Everything else was awesome! Backstage stuff, Titan Tron Live, all of the accessories, the different rings, and of course, the RSR.
I don't know how I feel. And I'm too old to be caring about how I feel.

I don't care what they've done for us in the past, I'll admit alot of it was great but the latest product is just poor and I'm not going to give Jakks sympathy money for crap.

Any that being an excuse for producing crap is just a piss poor argument on your part. They weren't even dropped their contract expired. GTFO and come back when you have a decent argument. |

It seems like everytime they do a interview and tell collectors they care people jump back on the wagon. it was a first attempt. They didn't clearly think the idea through enough. It seemed like the idea was somewhat rushed. but anyways idk why people are going bitch repetitively about Jakks. they hold a grudge with Jakks for 2009 when "HELLO! ONE MORE YEAR LEFT AND WE'RE DONE WITH WWE!" Why bother making WWE's figures look good if they went to court with Jakks? Once again the license was up anyway. And it's not Jakks's faults it's everyone that bought the stuff last year;s fault. instead of buying the stuff that people think is horrible and harping on Jakks, grow the F*** up, move the hell on and just leave it alone! sometimes I begin to wonder if this board consists of adults or 4 year olds. |

At least I don't bitch about the damn company like certain people do. I can complain about BOTH Mattel and Jakks. But they have their pros and cons. I decide just end it. It's getting fricking annoying, if you want to vent, fine vent once and leave it at that. don't keep bashing and bashing and bashing because eventually other people will just get annoyed. just appreciate the good out of the companies, not the bad. Don't know why it's that hard for people to just do so. |

Thank you mattel........for one figure...jackass since when is it a crime to like both companies? people bought (WWF) LJN and (AWA) Remco Hasbro (WWF) and LJN (WCW) Toybiz (WCW) and (WWF Jakks) and also (TNA) Toybiz and jakks (WWE) so why is it that we need to choose? |
