Jakks - I know people say the pads, but I feel like jakks pads always came off to easily. I do use the new style Jakks elbow pads as Mattel knee pads, though, so they were good for something. I do miss the depth of their Legends line. Also, Jakks had more scale playsets.
Mattel - scale, detail, painted belts with belt straps rather than the stupid thing Jakks used to adjust the size of their belts, character specific accessories, more sets released, multiple headscans in shorter amounts of time, multiple body types, realistic body types, no snow boots, more durable figures, Elite line is FAR better than the Deluxe line

What I miss mostly about jakks, that Mattel doesn't do, is post line ups & protos like on a monthly basis or whatever. It seems like Mattel pretty much only releases new info at the big 3, RSF, TF, & SDCC. I felt with jakks, like every month on the WF main page we got protos & or line ups. Other than that Mattel blows jakks out of the water.

Jakks the legends, divas, and the chances they took on some of the more lesser known stars
Mattel, the scale, the big guys have their own bodies instead of what Jakks did and used the Yokozuna body. how quickly they got to over 100 different stars

Jakks: the price (bcas were $4.50 when I started collecting), the classic lines depth, the accessories (awesome tables and ladders), the play sets and backstage areas
Mattel: the detail, the articulation on the elite line, SCALE!!!!, the chairs are better, the depth on the current roster.
I should also throw out there that I don't like the basic line at all for mattel, but didn't like the DA line for Jakks.

What i missed about Jakks was the special figures with a chip that worked with the titantron entrance playset , the divas and accessories
What I love about mattel is better details and articulation and the elite collection!

Was never really a huge Jakks fan. I always thought they looked downright goofy. That said I did like the depth they brought in their Classic Superstars line. I wish Mattel could bring forth all of the characters Jakks did.

Jakks- The accessories and weapons that came in almost every single figure or pack / playsets / PRICE! Pure nostalgia, since I grew up seeing the BCAs all the way down to the final years of JakksWWE.
Mattel- Attention to detail, scale (although they do have their mistakes, they are scaled better than Jakks TTL,R3, and RA/DAs) and the way the belts are designed.

Mattel: Incredible detail, scale, realistic bodies.

What I miss about Jakks: Constantly being disappointed that the final product had most of the detail missing. Often wondering why the cruiserweights were as tall as The Undertaker. And confusion as to why giant torsos were being used of smaller guys.
What I like about Mattel: Peace of mind knowing that the detail will be included. Scale, Scale, & Scale! And the fact they listen to their customers. Oh and I personally love Mattel's knee pads, cause they stay in place, and god knows that a necessity.

Jakks: the fact that pretty much every figure had accessories and the store rotation was fast, meaning they sold quicker than mattel, which of course was due to roster depth and price.
Mattel: scale, details. But as great as everyone makes mattel out to be why do we have white and blue Slaughter, booted snuka, no black and red LOD etc? I like em both, but Jakks was my first love in wrestling figure terms.

Jakks- The Classic Superstars Hulk Hogan figures (could never get enough) and amount of belts released with figures.
Mattel- All Of the legends that Jakks couldn't get (I.E. Steamboat, Savage etc.) As well as the amount of detail and accurate scale.

Jakks - success of Classic line (translate to - I wish Legends had the same success)
Mattel - everything else
Mattel is by FAR the better brand as far as WWE figures IMO. In fact, I now dislike Jakks so much that I considered selling my Ultimate Warrior's and Road Warrior Hawk's. I don't think I will, but just looking at them, they are so bulky, balloon-y and ugly to me.
