mattel will but out better legends then jakks ever did,look series 1 and we are getting one of the biggest wants ever,ricky steamboat! i have a feeling they will get savage...owen,who knows. So Mattel puts out a Ricky Steamboat and they are automatically better? Series 1 Mattel legends feature shrunken heads and steroid free bodies, but damn they sure do have teh details!!!!!

It will come down to one thing on who gets the bigger names and that is the almighty dollar. These legends don't give a crap what company makes them as long as they are getting paid. If Jakks calls up let's say HTM and says we will give u 500$ for your figure he will either A. go to Mattel and try to get a better offer or if its a wanted name Mattel will give them more from the start. Its like free agency the better more desireable people will demand and get more money while the lower guys will slip under the radar and go wherever.

And JAKKS is given one of the biggest wants in Sting, so I think it is fair to say they JAKKS is on the same playing field. I have said it before, Mattel will probably not make any different people than JAKKS did in their CS line. With JAKKS having the NWA line, I honestly think JAKKS has the bigger ball here. Other than Steamboat, I dont see anything else to really get excited about the Mattel classics. Unless they start coming out with new signings, still, I really don't like the way Mattel figures look. So, no matter what, I will stick with the JAKKS classics. JAKKS has so many classics already, then when you add all the additional figures from the NWA line, that is alot of great figures. I truly hope JAKKS fills in some of the gaps in their line they couldnt do when they were with the WWE.

With the NWA line do they have to sign the NWA guys or is thier like an umbrella that when they signed with NWA they can make w/e guy they want?

Well thats good, Id hate to read a book and it be terrible but my point was that everyone is preaching the same gospel yet not reading the same bible. Not once have I seen anyone post anything from a book or an interview that says Martha doesnt hate wrestling, just the WWE. The only thing we get is "uh he wuz in da Legends game!!"

Lets not forget about JJ Dillion though
