I've made this thread to see what figures you guys think Mattel made better than Jakks did when it comes to the character and/or attire. Here are the two that I've found so far: Legends Series 2/Elite Legends Kamala Elite Series 27 Rikishi What other ones do you think Mattel did better at making than Jakks did? If there are enough good ones, I'll make up a video about it on my YouTube channel. Thanks!

You'd probably have a more notable thread asking which Jakks figures were superior to Mattel.

This thread is now about posting photos of crappy Jakks figures.

Mattel probably outdid most of its jakks counterparts. Although I enjoy seeing the comparison pics.

Jakks was a product of its time, without them our wrestling figures would be a lot different. PS Mattels cartoon head scans will never touch Jakks

I'm too lazy to confirm, but didn't Jakks once release a Jarret/Owen 2pk and used this exact head for both? I know for sure I owned a Jarret and Owen with that head, which was horrendously lazy in its own regard. But to put them in a 2pk together seemed like a ballsy "whattaya gonna do about it" to collectors.

I tried to think of just one example, but can't come up with one.

Jakks definitely produced some good likenesses with their heads, but eventually the size alone became pretty cartoon like. Towards the end, those things were almost comically over sized. Mattel produces primarily good likenesses, but their paint apps can sometimes make things a little cartoon-like.

Jesus, looking back, Jakks figures were so awkward. Those proportions are insane. Wasn't HBK the same size as Diesel, and Paul Bearer as Undertaker?
Sad I missed out on 'em.

Off the top of my head, there are a lot of Jakks HBK sculpts I like better than Mattel, several John Cenas. Even Rey Misterio Jakks sculpts are better, imo. The pictures of Cena I posted were from my collection that I had saved on my computer. Jakks' cloth cap and wristbands weren't a good idea. The Jakks sculpt is weak and I never really liked RA bodies.
