I have been collecting loose jakks classic for some months now, up to around 90, love the range and think its by far the best range out there...but some things are starting to grind my gears, gonna list them below, holla if you hear me lol 1.No New age outlaws 2.WHY DIDNT JAKKS EVER LOOK AT KANES MASK BEFORE THEY PRODUCED HIM?? Out of all my gripes this is the most relevant. Debut Kane was a major player in the attitude era, and they messed up with him so badly. series 18 kane was nice, but the 3pack kane was just a total let down - dont know where they ever saw the mask they invented - but it was never on kane! The deluxe version was nice, but the removable mask had tiny little eyeholes so you couldnt see his white eye! 3. Has anyone ever seen the classic 2-cool twinpack? seriously, where they just clearing out parts? it was hidious compared to the rulers of the ring black and white set, and years newer!! no nice accessories, and terrible random bits attires that they never really wore! 4. When....when did rikishi eat too cool to become that size? again, the previous rikishi real scan was much more realistic than this rikishizuna 5. Why is my x-pac taller than my undertaker and Kane?! and at the same time 123 kid is tiny! 6. they made a flurry of sunnys - but no paul ellering!? 7. the nasty boys 3pack looks great - but figures are made up using very old molds. Anyway - thats my gripes over for the day - anyone got any other big jakks flaws to scrutinise?  |

I can relate with you on the Xpac and Rikishi deal. I pretty much have all the figures you listed but those 2 are the only ones that really make me smh. Xpac is way to tall and built like Ultimate Warrior. Rikishi's body just looks ridiculous. Actually, most of the fat guys look like crap.

Jakks just stopped caring towards the end of the line. Some figures were extremely questionable like series 1 Undertaker, and Andre for example. Though the line did produce for excellent figures, most left many with head scratching and many "what the hell was jakks drinking/thinking" when producing these figures.

I'm sure they would have made The New Age Outlaws if they could have, but they were under contract to TNA during pretty much, if not all, of the time that CS were being produced.

Yep, would have been cool to see them. The Rikishi figure is the one that sticks out to me. Ridiculously oversized. Saying that, there have been some great figures. I love the Al Snow, Shamrock, Val Venis and a few other Attitude Era ones. |

That Rikishi is a head-scratcher, but Vader was just as bad.
Vader wasn't even really a "fat guy" wrestler, just a really big dude. He should have used the Dusty/Bam Bam torso.

The CSTT Too Cool set really pisses me off. I mean how could they do such an awesome set of them in TTL (?) form but such a crappy job in a CS set? I'm happy we got figures of them but damn they look bad.

Jakks was great but never hit them all out of the park. Rakishi is one of there saddest blunders ever.

Also, no Brisco Brothers 2 Pack? Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco with their auto bodyshop t-shirts would have been amazing

He was scheduled to CS 28 but him and guys like Chavo, Booker T, Mark Henry, whom were with the company that could have been given CS figures, never got them. |

Yeah the scaling of figures but Jakks is awful. They were insanely lazy regarding new body types. The thing that I hated was when they just forgot to add knee or elbow pads, and the random accessories that came with them.

I agree at the end Jakks just gave up and it showed in figures like X-Pac and Rikishi. Good thing for me is I am a MOC collector so it doesn't bother me as much as it does you but I do understand. The issue with NAO is that I believe for most of the time Jakks was making the Classic Superstar set both Road Dogg and Gunn were signed by TNA.

Jakks had horrible scale, no continuity when it came to tattoos. they also missed the ball on a lot of superstars that were on then current rosters

The fact that they would paint half of the figure was a joke. Not cool at all!

I was upset that they never made a ring gear Jerry Sags. The figures they made were in entrance gear.

No Mr Perfect in blue? To me, that is the biggest travesties of all the figures that were released!
