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. You would produce crap product if after 10 years of success you were being dropped for the BETTER COMPANY!

Your sig says "THANK YOU MATTEL!!!!!!!1"... yet you are supporting Jakks. Make up your mind, jerkass! It's not a wartime situation. We as collectors can support 2 companies, as long as they are both putting out quality product.

I pick buying a sting figure, Angle figure, AJ Figure, Samoa Joe figure, Beer money figures over DX, john Cena, Batista, Great Khali, Hornswoggle.

But you're gonna get the Steamboat too, right? I'll buy many figures from both companies, as long as both companies put out product worth my dollars. My point was that too many people a trying to be purists instead of seeing the fact that, as collectors, we might get VERY lucky and get twice the available figures for our playing/collecting pleasure. Maybe even 3 times the figures, if the Playmates/AAA thing goes through like we were promised.

I most likely am gonna pass on Sarge and LOD because the Sarge fig looks nothing like him and LOD's legs are too skinny.

I'll agree with that.No one seems to remember the first one that fell apart and was complete poop 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. 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. Because the quality of their product reflects who they are as a company to customers. If I work for a company - even if it's a menial fast food or grocery store job, and I give my two weeks notice that I am leaving, does that mean I should do my job subpar and NOT put my effort into what I'm doing?

I have to say ... I watched that Triple H interview a couple of times, and I know he's just there to put the Mattel figures over, but in my case it worked because now I'm about to place an order for some Mattel figures which wasn't the plan before I saw that interview.
