I think it is a decent figure and as much as Jakks get bashed, people seem to forget had it not been for them, it is likely toy companies wouldn't take a chance on past superstars.
Also jakks figures costs less then half of what mattel figues do too.

Why do people always want to provoke others?

I don't know how contributing to a conversation is provoking people. But it's true. Transformers .. 6 years ago a deluxe was 12 bucks... now they can be nearly 18... gi joe, 6 years ago I could get an 8 inch sigma 6 joe for 9.99.. now 3 3/4 style is 10 bucks. Marvel legends.... wwe... it's how everything is... especially something that is a luxury

That line had been dead for more than 2 years by 2009. The 2007 25th anniversary Gi Joe figures replaced all other lines and moved the scale back to 3 3/4". When that line launched figures were $7-9. Today they still price out that way (taking into account 3 packs as the only source of 3 3/4" joes.

Here he is with E30 Hawk's shoulders and arms. I like him much better now! The funny thing is when I was looking through my fodder bin I found some Rock arms and thought, these would be perfect if only the skintone matched. Thanks, PJThat does look better.

My only complaint is that they changed out the left elbow pad for the bigger one. I agree. And I know people hate the leg sleeves, but I think they would have been better here too.

Well 3B your pics just convinced me. I grabbed a Hawk body off eBay just now to do this very fix-up. Man I love fodder auctions. and marino13 I agree, the leg sleeves of doom was more appropriate for Razor in this instance.

I hope they do this for Scott Hall out of the gate. It may be a situation like Diesel and Nash where Nash had bigger arms.

So after going back and forth on whether to swap out Razor's arms with e30 Hawk's because I didn't want Hawk to end up with puny arms I said screw it and did it with the extra Hawk I had MIB. Then I gave that Hawk a set of Triple H's arms and seeled it back up. Now both figures have larger arms.

Did you swap shoulders too?? If so, did you crack the torso or how did you do it???

If you want to swap the shoulders you have to crack the torso. (there's a guide on PG 1 of the fixup thread) but I left the shoulders on mine and just swapped from the upper arm down.

I'm not nearly as particular as most collectors here, but Mattel could have literally put a turd with a purple vest in a DM box and I would've loved it. I would have bought two - one to keep MOC and one to display.
