Hey,
I can't believe how many good CS signings there have been in the last short while. There are some great figures on their way.
It's almost like Jakks is going all-out and just signing whoever they can because their licence is expiring soon. Look who they've signed within the last while:
1. Tatanka
2. Bastion Booger
3. "Dangerous" Danny Davis
4. Jesse "The Body" Ventura
5. The Dynamite Kid
6. Trish Stratus
7. Scotty 2 Hotty
8. Grandmaster Sexay
9. Mosh
10. Thrasher
11. Goldberg
12. Rob Van Dam
13. Spike Dudley
14. Lance Storm
15. Andy Kaufman
16. Marc Mero
17. Buff Bagwell
18. The Berzerker
19. Robert Gibson
20. Steve Keirn
There are probably more that I am forgetting about, but you get the picture. All are tremendous signings to CS and I can't wait to see who will be the next.

Agreed. I feel that those are all great signings. I think before their licensing was up, Jakks was being conservative about whom to sign. Now, with time running out, I think they're just trying to fill what spots they need.
I look forward to new names being annnounced and hope that before the end comes, we'll see those big 5 or so names signed. (Savage, Owen, Steamboat, Sting, & Bossman)

John Cena's also on the list. You can tell their really going for people who stood out in their generation now, so guys like Cena, Goldberg, Dynamite Kid, RVD and Trish are pretty essential to make this a complete line, no matter how recent they are.
There's some good figures that could come out of that list too, Too Cool, Mosh, Jesse Ventura, the Bezerker etc

I like the way Jakks are paying more attention to the Monday Night Wars era (AKA WWF Attitude and WCW/nWo)
Buff Bagwell was the best/most unexpected signing for me

Trish Goldberg Rob Van Dam Spike Dudley Lance Storm = A waste of a classic signing - we need genuine classics for god's sake! I am really excited about the Lance Storm announcement. One of my favorite wresters of all time and just look at his accomplishments in all 3 companies. He definately deserves a spot IMO. Spike, while I wouldn't make the same argument for, I'm going to buy for sure because he'll be a perfect addition to my Best of ECW Dudleyz. I want the Goldberg just because I missed out on the earlier RA ones. And I like the RVD because all my RVDs (I have 3) are considerably shorter than my other RAs. And I agree with Leigh about the top 5 that we need. But maybe Sting could even wait until they go to TNA and we could get a good Jarrett and others. |

3. "Dangerous" Danny Davis
4. Jesse "The Body" Ventura
5. The Dynamite Kid
6. Trish Stratus
7. Scotty 2 Hotty

I want to see more guys from the NWA days like Magnum TA, Steamboat, Ole Anderson but I like how they are signing everyone they can get their hands on. I really hope we get a Verne Gagne and Nick Bockwinkle

9. Mosh- never heard of him
10. Thrasher- never heard of the guy.

12. Rob Van Dam- Oh yea, I'm getting Rob.
13. Spike Dudley- Yes!
14. Lance Storm- wasn't around for his carrer, but maybe.

Yeah ther eare aloot. I keep expecitng Jeremy to quit b/c there are too many to release in the time alloted.
Also makes you think cs 18 could have realy been improved if they traded a copule lack luster figs for good guys on this list.

I have to give Jakks and Jeremy some credit. They are signing a lot as of late. Hope the trend continues.

I can't beleive the amount of guys you haven't heard of!  Jericho's signing is nothing to do with Jakks, all current WWE talent have merchandise included in their contract with WWE. Of course WWE still has to approve the figure. |
