Is the Coliseum Collection the best wrestling figure line of all time?   |

No. Not even close. Most of the attires in this line are inaccurate. Either to the real life counterpart or the figure they’re supposed to be based on.

It's probably not the "BEST" line ever due to the fact that it's chained to the original LJN line.
I think it's fantastic that they are paying tribute to the original LJN's - however they were primitive and often had lacking (or incorrect) detail. And now you'd have to make the Coliseum Collection either match the primitive originals or stray from the source material.... in addition to being locked in to the original LJN lineup. Which in many cases, they don't even have the rights to. So there are only so many names they can use.
It's a very fun line! And in my opinion - it has the BEST packaging ever! but the limitations of the source material will keep it from being the "best line ever" in my opinion.
JAKKS was cranking out guys we never even thought possible! And the packaging stayed consistent through the entire line.

It's not even the best Ultimate Hulk Hogan or Bret Hart. Even though CS was missing Steamboat, Sting, and Savage, it still gave us the widest variety of a roster possible, with some no one ever thought possible.

I echo this. This is my favorite line, but I wouldn't consider it the best in terms of figures. Packaging, 100%. I love everything about it. They'll have to break from the "they had to have an LJN" stipulation in order to get into the best ever conversation.
While I appreciate the depth of talent that we got with the Jakks Classic Superstars, I didn't like the sculpts. They released so many figures where they looked good from the neck down, but the faces were super goofy.

i think the elites of most of these figures are obviously better. The bodies not being flush makes them look odd and makes all of their stomachs too thin. Jakes pants are the wrong color. Rude is pale. Hogan is too lean. I think the butterfly joint makes the shoulders too low.
This line would be better if the figures were elites. And if they made the attires accurate to what the LJN figure was based on. Not accurate to the LJN figure

Before series 4 was announced, I would have said yes, but those Hart Foundation figs are basically re-releases with yet another horrible Bret face scan

As a Monday Night Wars era fan (particularly WCW/NWO) I'd have to say no.

It has promise but that Rude figure being way too tall kind of cooled my confidence in the line. The other Rude figs are all about the same then you have this giant one now.

Why not just put 'no' as an option?

...where's:
"no, Mattel Elites are the best"?
"no, Mattel Legends are the best"?
"no, Mattel Ultimate Edition (regular lines) are the best"?

What the heck is this poll? None of the above. The regular Ultimates line is better IMO

Easy no.
Best line of all time for me is either BCA or Classic Superstars.
