I'll probably get the Rock and Roll Express and the Koloffs. They would be great additions to my minor league fed.
When do they come out?

OK This is very disappointing. Here are my complaints from a quick glance at this pic. It would have helped if each set was in it's own larger pic at a better angle. Anyway... 1. Why does Davey Boy have the braided hair!? Plus the Bulldogs were supposed to be WMII attires not WMIII and although the WMIII is my favorite Bulldogs attire the blue used on the trunks is way too light for that attire. 2. Nikita still doesn't look like the Russian Nightmare and has the wrong boots he should be angry looking. And Ivan really doesn't look anything like him either! And he has the wrong boots as well. They didn't wear laced boot! 3. Rock & Roll express - Ricky Morton looks nothing like him...nor does the Robert Gibson. Here's hoping these look much better in person and they correct Davey boys head. This is exactly what I was gonna write.... How stupid do the people at Jakks have to be in order to think we'll be happy with a braided hair davey boy..... And how did they up the headscans for RNR Express so bad??? And Nikita is a re-release of a figure that wasn't that great the first time we got it??? Jesus Christ..... |

KOLOFFS - I know both Koloffs very well, so I will getting them. Looks like Nikita is actually bald this time. Ivan looks good. The chain sucks tremendously.
BULDOGS - Horrible compared to the CS 22 set coming out. Davey has the complete wrong scan. I want the WM3 attire to match the Hart Foundation WM3 attires. But I will have to buy an extra CS22 Davey to get the right scan. I will also get the Danny Davis heel ref figure to go with this set. I am sure I can paint tito's trunks to match the WM 3 set.
ROCK N ROLL - Gibson looks good. Morton looks more like Sid Vicious. I will get it thpugh b/c I am an old school NWA fan.

Bulldog's gear is exactly what I wanted but WTF is with the long hair? They couldn't fast forward the short hair scan a few months? I guess they fooled us into buying them both, but I've fooled them because I buy them all. Love the RnR. Wish they used some colorful tights, but they're still awesome. Flag is cool with the Russians, but I would've preferred the Fuji/Yoko pack that was rumored. Or we could've done without Nikita single in CS19. But still. I'll get the three.
Edit: Hope the back of the Bulldog's trunks is the Union Jack. Maybe they didn't screw that up.

Rock N Roll look like bad customs, Nikita is still bad, Ivan looks ok, and the Bulldogs will have to wait until the correct singles come out. I may get the Russians, but that's it. From what sounded like the best set of CSTT really turned out horrible.

I don't know how to accurately express my feelings about this set without sounding like a stereotypical "OMG!!!1!!1 This SUXX!!! Everything @&#!*!ing SUX1!!1!" internet forum denizen . . .
[practices extreme meditation and deep-breathing]
Ok . . . well, I really, really, really love old-school NWA and tag team wrestling. That said, I feel vaguely as if Jakks did something wrong to me personally when I saw those pictures. I'm actually OK with the Russians set. I wish it was Ivan and Krusher, but beyond that, it's about what I expected. There isn't a way to make Ivan look like Ivan with Jakks body parts without it being too tall (b/c of the fat/thick singlet torso). The flag is a pleasant surprise.
After seeing the Toyfair Bulldogs figures, I think I'll pass on this Bulldogs set. Braided hair Davey Boy in 80's gear, Jakks? Really? OK, then, well, why don't you hold on to that for me.
I can honestly say I'm one of the biggest RnR Express fans on this board. I vividly remember going to NWA shows and reaching out to slap Ricky's hand as the Rock n Roll made their way to the ring (as a grown man, I'm kind of embarrassed by how much I loved those guys as a kid). I actually don't mind the black attires (I was hoping for either that or the royal blue). But seriously, these look like half-assed customs. I know -- I have half-assed RnR customs that look sorta like this. What is going on with the headscans? I . . . hopefully, they can be fixed-up (obviously not by Jakks). Really, I kinda knew they were going to half-ass these guys, but I was hoping for good, usable head scans.

Well, I had alot to say but everyone's got the same idea, we all know what these figures should've looked like but Jakks still don't. I don't think Jakks have a Classic Wrestling fan working for them now, the current lines are up to date with exclusive molds (full body molds twice for both Rey and Umaga, perhaps those 2 are the designer's personal favourite?) But the Classics have dissappeared down the porcelain. If they had to RERELEASE NIKITA they could at least have FIXED THE BOOTS OR CHAIN!!!!People talked about it enough the first time. I can't believe they gave Davey Boy long hair! What about the CSDA head?! And after that F UP why take away one belt?! The RnR Express are just BAD very BAD. JAKKs OFFICIALLY HATE US!

Absolutely GOD AWFUL!
I have seen Jakks do some moronic, assannine things in the past, and I never thought I could be this p*ssed off at them, but that Bulldog head could be the biggest mistake Jakks has EVER made!
I'm sorry, but that beats the 3-pack Kane mask and the 3-Pack Mr. Perfect with long hair combined. It's just such a glaring error.
It takes a company with absolutely NO pride left to release garbage like this, and insults me as a wrestling fan and a collector. No WAY will I be buying this crap, let alone will I be buying another IDENTICAL Nikita Koloff to the one I've got just to get Ivan.
Morons.

Although the set is flawed in many ways, i love the attire Jakks put on the Bulldogs. Can't comment on the Koloffs and Rock N Roll Express as i haven't watched much of their matches to judge their figures.

Good lord that set had so much potential - Bulldog is a CS7 face which is totally wrong, The koloffs are average and the RNR express don't even look like them!! Jakks screwed up bad with this set

Jakks really messed up. I basically have the same complaints as everyone else so I won't bother repeating them. What annoys me is the problems are easily fixed. I mean why do we need another Nikita? We should of Got Barry Darsow as Krusher. Davey boy has braided hair so I'll most likely pass and wait for the singles release.

As a 35 year old collector who grew up in the Carolinas, I was anticipating this set more than any other in recent memory. Now after seeing them, not only am I disappointed but extremely pissed. You can tell Jakks' contract is coming to an end and they just don't care whether or not they keep you happy and coming back for more as they have a limited amount of money to make off of you in the future. These figures are god awful representations of 3 legendary tag teams. There is no excuse for the mistakes they made with these sets. F U Jakks!

A very good set and about time. Their not perfect but that's Jakks for you. They never get it right. The last two sets weren't that great  , except for the Killer Bees & Brainbusters. Look forward to getting all three. ;D |
