Thats a pretty crappy list. How is Kerry Von Erich only # 33? So many repeats on it.

Thinking again why are the British Bulldogs on there? They have Davey, they just need Dynamite Kid. I really think we need to have a chat with Jeremy on this. He opened the survey to the people it's marketed toward, yet ed up. If you have NAO you don't need Gunn and James again. I've said it before but they need to actually be smart about it. If you make Muta, to me you need Chono. I really don't see a point of even having Jarrett on there, WWE will just get pissed at them releasing a TNA star. Same with Angle, Dudleyz, NAO, etc. Sure it won't say TNA but you basically promote them. Dump the TNA guys and guy you can easily get on the list, like APA, Steamboat, etc, and add who you have you try for. Steamboat works for WWE and has a legends contract, I believe those do include action figures, DVDs, video games, and whatnot.

For everyone saying that guys who already have RA releases shouldn't get CS releases, you have to realize that at on of people who collect classics keep them MOC, and so a regular release Adrenaline or Ruthless Aggression figure is worthless to them. Plus it would give Jakks a chance to remake figures of guys who had crappy RA's...

I'm saying they already have some of the guys who they can easily make in CS thus shouldn't be big on the to get survey list. Eddie Guerrero will be as much of a challenge to get as it was to know the Save_US promos were for Jericho. Vickie works for WWE, she'll sign off quickly. The APA both work for WWE, you really dont think Bradshaw and Ron Simmons will sign quickly? If they get guys with RAs for CS, fine. But I'm sure if Jakks signs RVD, big deal, not like you'll get a HUGE improvement. They'll just repaint one and call it Classic ECW RVD. Dudleyz they basically did make classics of with the best of ECW and WCW sets. Same with Jericho, Eddie, Benoit, Rey, Stevie Richards, etc. They're not that hard to find if you're willing to look.

Off topic, but what happened to the "Win a Jakks figure of yourself" Did they choose a winner?.

The results of that survey, the top 50, to me was kinda bogus. There's not awhole lot of names that make me think of "classic" but i see that there are quite afew people that feel the same way. one thing that is NOT a surprise - the majority of the stars here are from the most popular period in wrestling - 1995-2001. it just proves my point further - Jakks SHOULD put more attitude era and WCW/nWo guys into CS, because that was the most popular time in wrestling, no use denying it, look at the ratings, look at the survey results, its a fact. To me, I do not think jakks should put more attitude or wcw/nwo era guys in the classic series. Don't get me wrong, I watched/enjoyed that whole time, but to me "classic" does not refer to that time period. But i grew up watching wrestling in the 80's, which is an era I think the classic line should represent and has done pretty well so far. I understand that the majority of people on here are younger and the attitude era is what they grew up on but i don't know or think if that is what jakks ment for the classic line to envison. The whole " look at the ratings" i dont understand, if you are a wrestling fan why should the ratings even matter to you ?

I don't know guys- I personally prefer figures to be made of new superstars who have not ever had a figure. I don't need to buy a million Cena's, Batista's, HHH's, etc. At my TRU, any superstar who has never had a figure yet is off the shelves immediately while the Cena's, HHH's, Taker's etc. languish on the shelves forever.
With classics, if we are going to get Eddie, Y2J, Dudleys again and again, that will be $$ Jakks will not get from me.
Since the Classic figures have been released, I have purchased the entire set each time from Ringside. If we are going to start getting a massive amount of Attitude era stars repaints, I will begin to pick and choose and not purchase those figures.
You can say buy what you want, and don't buy what you don't want. That's fine- I hope for Jakks sake that there will be enough customers out there looking to buy repaint after repaint of Attitude era wrestlers- won't be me.

I feel like I'm on both sides of the argument here........I hate this list but I love the attitude era. While I do want more attitude era stars, the ones that made it onto the list are just horrendous. To me, the CS line is the chance to make figures of people who never got a chance for a figure (or at least an RA figure) in the first place. RVD and the Dudleyz both got classic style figures in BOECW, Eddie Guerrero has had classic figures, Hardyz are already in a lineup, etc. So a bunch of people who have had figures (in the last year no less) will be "aggressively pursued"? So ing what. I doubt you're going to have to try very hard to sign the Hardyz or Acolytes or Steamboat seeing as how they are under WWE contract. You could've done them already but you were too busy giving us 5 million Hogan, Warrior and Bret Hart repaints. Meanwhile Dlo Brown, Shawn Stasiak, Marlena, Sable, and countless others get snubbed. Does this mean that these are the ONLY signings they will pursue? There really isn't enough time left to fit in many more, and if the CS line finishes without the forementioned superstars getting figs, they will be getting much hate mail from me (I'll write it too, just ask Zach Oat of Toyfare magazine) *kicks and screams like a baby, throws rattle at the face of the douches who voted for this*

OK they have ECW debut Tazz on there, yet he's in CS 21. He shouldn't be on the list. Take him off and add someone else.

Congrats to Josh Arnett, hopefully he is a member on here.
The list is ok but there are too many current people on there. That is what annoys me. Some i am pleased to see but others could be done without like RVD.

Argh! This list is annoying. Jakks will now think they've done a good job when they just release repaints of old Ruthless Aggression figures from earlier in the line. Damn these children and their limited knowledge of wrestling pre-2000!!

Hey, for the people bitching, it was an online vote, ing deal with it. If you wanted your wrestler on there and know other collectors from other sites, maybe you should of had them do this survey. I don't agree with everyone on the list, but guess what? thats how people voted and besides, where does it say every one of those guys will get signed anyways? People on here will bitch at everything! You wanted to let Jakks know who you wanted in the CS line, you had your chance and it didn't work out the way YOU wanted, thats life, get use to it. If your upset too many "kids" voted, then maybe you should of let more adult collectors know about the survey.
