Wow talk about dissapointing.
Bulldogs - Great attire but why in the hell did they use that old Bulldog scan? If this had the new scan we just saw recently I would have bought it. PASS!
Rock N Roll Express - OMG those headscans are beyond terrible. It looks nothing like Ricky & Robert. Of all the colorful attires they wore they put them in black? *sigh* PASS!
Ivan & Nikkita - Was never interested in them to begin with. PASS!
Looks like I'll be saving some money on this set.

Jakks shouldn't have used Bulldog's long-haired scan. I don't understand why they didn't use the one in the Toyfair pics. Koloff looks ok I guess. But considering RnR Express wore very colorful attires, why did Jakks concentrate on black?

I've been around here a lot and over the years people have hated on certain CS figures - Sid, Rikishi, etc, but the long awaited Rock N Roll are easily the worst scans in the line. But sadly I'll get them as it's their first and probably last figures.
Bulldog has his 92 face in a mid 80s pack, no painted tag belts, not even two of them. The matilda is cool, but I just got the animals 3 pack a month ago. I'll wait for their future CS releases instead of getting these.
Koloffs look awesome. I already have the CS19 Nikita but Ivan looks great, and we have a 5th flag! Suprised we got Russia before somewhere like Mexico though.
A hit & miss set but I'll definetley get Koloffs & very likely RnR Express

Those are probably the single bulldogs from toyfair. I will get the 2 pack bulldogs for my LJN replacement collection. Thats what i was thinking but that like 4 series away, and at Toyfair they usually do like 1 or 2 seres away

Bulldogs - wrong color on the tights and wrong headscan on Davey Boy Smith; should have 2 tag title belts.
Rn'R Express - of all their attires...we get black? why?? not on that but they look terrible.
Koloff's - I'm prob going to buy this honestly; I passed on Nikita's single in hopes this would be a re-release or a different attire. Seems I got the first wish. I can switch out the boots and the chain won't be used anway.
1/3 being semi accurate. That not a good sign of Jakks quality heading into a new line.

Extremely disappointing. Davey having long hair is an absolute crime against wrestling history. Ivan is way too to tall. Rock and Roll Express scans are horrible. Shame on you Jakks.
ADDED The more I sit here the more angry I get about these. I get the Horsemen sets were all f'd up by the Benoit tragedy. There is no reason for these to be this inaccurate. This is the most rushed assortment of BS I have ever seen. How can they even pretend to care about classic wrestling and release sets that look this bad. Those RNR Express scans look almost as realistic as Remco head sculpts.

They RUINED the Bulldogs. The only decent set, in my opinion, is Nikita/Ivan.

As a die-hard collector who has overlooked nearly every Jakks mistake, I have to refuse this garbage. Davey with long hair? Really? And, I have to buy the exact same Nikita figure that I purchased two months ago just to get Ivan? Bring on Mattel!

My thoughts on this set - I'm passing on the Koloffs. I have Nikita and I don't really know a lot about Ivan Koloff. I'm not surprised Davey has long braided hair. I kinda expected him to, for some reason. I will get this set and do a head switch with CSDA Davey. My advice to some of you is to hold off buying this set. The Bulldogs are getting singles releases in an upcoming Classic series. I don't mind doing the headswitch - I need that Davey head anyway - but you shouldn't have to in order to have an accurate Davey Boy Smith. And Rock and Roll Express looks good. I'll be buying that set as well.

A mixed bag.
I really like the Bulldogs, with the exception of Bulldog's scan ... and especially since we all know JAKKS made an accurate one because we saw it at Toyfare. The attire looks great though and I may still get this set regardless because I'm a big fan of the Bulldogs.
I actually dig the Rock n Roll express and like the cloth accessory. The scans aren't the best, but I don't think they're flat at horrible.

I'll echo many of the sentiments already expressed in this thread.
As a big fan of 80's tag team wrestling, and specifically NWA tag team wrestling, these sets are a huge disappointment.
Ivan Koloff looks awful. Nikita is a straight re-release, the least they could have done was correct the boots, and head stubble on him.
The Bulldogs are ridiculous with a singles scan Davey and one belt for the two, not to mention the poorly done attire.
The Rock-n-Roll Express, one of my most anticipated releases, are simply awful. They look NOTHING like Ricky and Robert. Sadly, I will get them as it''ll be my only opportunity to have them in the RA style.
These sets really are a slap in the face to the long time collectors of this line.

Well the Bulldogs suck, loks like I'm waiting for the future CS release which I presume is the Toyfair pics. I really want Ivan & now livid I brought Nikita as just a straight rerelease. The Rock & Roll express were a favourite team of mine, not exciting looking figures though. Will wait to see them loose
