Buff Bagwell - Very pleased to see Jakks gave in his top hat! A new accessory and a very acurate one for him. However I don't ever remember him wearing a top hat with that particular attire.
Chris Jericho - Abotu what I expected. While a WCW TV title was out of the question, why didn't Jakks give him a CW title, now that they have released on in the upcoming RSC Exclusive CSDA Rey vs. Eddie. Hell even an IC belt would have been better suited than a cookie sheet! Why no knee pads also?
Rey Mysterio (LJN-Style) - Exactly what I expected.
Jesse "The Body" Ventura - Finally Jesse gets a CS figure! Kind of surprised he didn't come with a feather boa. Overall looks good.
Tazz - I was hoping for him to come with the Hardcore Title, as he never really held the ECW title in that attire. But that is a minor quarl. Dissappointed Jakks did not give Tazz his trademark black towel.
Brian Pillman - Exactly what I expected and nice to see a singles release of Pillman.
Jeff Hardy - Exactly what I expected.
OVERALL - Nothing really stands out in this set. Accessories are a little odd for some, but a few good choices for a select few. Sadly, I can see this set warming the shelves (maybe expect for Hardy).

Tazz looks good in this pic. What belt did he got? WWE Hardcore Champion or?

But yeah i find it odd Jakks just stuck in two cookie sheets at random. I think they have a huge surplus on their hands and they need to get rid of them.

I'll probably just get Mysterio to go with the rest of my LJN's although I may get jericho as I have yet to obtain him in RA or DA form for that matter.

Couple of decent figures but mostly a boring set in my opinion.

bagwell looks good, i'm happy they made him....i think the ripped cw torso would have been a better pick, but it still looks good. i ordered buff & ventura & i'm happy with them, so yay i'll probably get pillman too when the set hits regular stores.

Sweet. Thanks for the pics. Looks like I will be picking up at least three of these (Ventura, Pillman, and Buff).

I'd rather have a modern day Jesse Ventura. Like one in a suit from 2008. Just as a manager. We can dream can't we. I'd use him as a manager bent on taking over PPW and never trust other faces saying there going too turn on the crowd. Announcer attire Jesse is coming out in CS 25. So there is a good chance he might be in his pink suit. Did Pillman ever actually walk to the ring wearing a vest when he was Flyin' Brian? I can't remember him doing, so that seems to ruin the MOC value for me a little. No he never wore a vest as Flyin Brian. He did wear a black leather jacket for a short time though.

I heard that WCW had really good catering, which might explain Buff's and Jericho's cookie sheets.

Wow, the only classic figures that should come with a cookie sheet is like, Crash Holly or something like that.

I'll just be buying Jeff out of this set. I like that figure a lot.

Jericho- looks awesome, nice that they gave him an all new scan instead of slapping the BOWCW one on it. good torso choice and since I know we will never get classic WCW figure belts, I have no opinion on the accessory 9.5/10
Jesse- great detail on the tights, looks like they painted all the way down. Perfect torso choice. Perfect accessories 10/10
Jeff Harvey- I'm glad its different than the Shopzone one...but why a chair? No Tag belt? 9/10
Pillman- Best in the set, vest is a nice touch. Attire is excellent. Torso is fine. Flyin' Brian! will forever have a spot on my Classic shelf 10/10
Taz- I am overall very unimpressed with this figure. I don't like the attire, and I think most people will stay away from this figure since it has nothing to offer. I would have preferred a re-released RSC exclusive without the leg stain. This figure doesn't look like it belongs in the "Classic" line 7/10
Buff- Suprisingly the 2nd best figure overall in the set, great scan, great attire, great torso choice and the top hat...superb job 10/10
I'll be getting them all minus the LJN because that's what I do. However if I wasn't a CS completist I'd pass on "The Taz" and probably Jeff because I've got the Shopzone one... but I would definitley get Jericho, Jesse, Pillman & Buff
Overall I give this set 8.5 out of 10 with points taken off for Taz, and the lack of variety in the accessory dept. Keep in mind I'm not saying this is the greatest classic set ever, I judge based on my own opinion on how the figures turned out. A "10" meaning that as far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with the figure
