YES!!! This is the best looking series for ages and possibly til the end. CS may have been severely lacking since CS16 but CS22 (despite being all repaints/non debut) is actually an awesome series like we used to get from series 1-15. The figures in CS22 are well thought out with near enough perfect part choices all round, there's no skimping on little details like shoe laces etc and there's more accessories and cloth attire than we've seen in a CS set for ages. So if CS23 gets the same treatment but with that good lineup then it should be awesome. I've really missed CS since it turned into a lower quality RA line, hopefully CS22 is a sign of things to come and we've got the line we love back.

Yes!! Not as good as Classic Series 1 - Series 16 (excluding Series 15 - because they bothced Razor, Outlaw and Zeus so bad, and because it came with Tank Abbot and Johny Rodz, but it was still WAY better than any series of 2008 except for Series 20 which was is only a little bit better because Sandman wasn't included, but Flair and Dynamite are still better than Series 15 alone. So it is a little bit better of a series.) (2004-2007) but it is way way better than any series this past year! (Series 17-Series 22) (2007). Only series this year that had potentional of being as good or better was Series 20 with Ric Flair, Dynamite Kid AND Sandman, but Sandman wasn't included. CS Series 23 has Bossman AND lod AND rvd AND berzerker AND the last 2 lance and spike aint bad. Only way SPiker is great is if his overalls are cloth like Hillybilly jim, but other than that anything ECW is GOOD. CS 23 is somewhat returning to CS's former glory, so of course i'm anxious!!!! very very anxious!!! what if bossman's cop suit is cloth (like hillybilly's overalls, or piper 1/100 wrestlemania 6's outfit, or bundy, or earthqauke or anyone else that had cloth). I mean his upper cop suit always got unbuttonned and opened, if it was cloth!! yippie!! bossman could be GREAT. CS 23-CS28 (2009) (jakks last year) looks way better than this year (@008) its ATLEAST 10 time better. STILL NO WHERE NEAR CS JAKKS FORMER GLORY (2004-2006 CS1-CS16) but with piper, crush, crush 2, slaughter, bossman, fuji, andre, beefcake, bastion, lod, jyd, iron, sherri, warlord, barbarian, davis, bret, jesse, rvd, berzerker, bulldogs, haku, outback, bigelow, pillman, vader (did i miss anyone) it is way better than this year. not saying much. just hope the 3packs (which WERE good this year, demos, pets 3pack and rythm n blues were off the charts!) and deluxe were good too. so just hope 3packs, deluxe and 2packs kiss @$$ next year! I think cs 23 is the second best set out of cs 23-28. the BEST is gotto be cs 27 (sherri, warlord, barbarian, piper, sarge, outback and 2 crush's in one series! but bossman could make c s 23 better!!!! just keep fingers crossed for a COMPLETELY DECKED OUT BOSSMAN!) sorry for my long posts... cs just gets me going!! it kicks so much @$$!!! Im a huge complainer about wrestling.. (about actual wrestling, not figs) .. .but with hasbro, ljn, remco i was happy, but not with CS im thrilled!!!! I hate wrestling and have complained more than anyone just like everyone else about wrestling itself and all the setbacks but i just dont agree with people complain about cs with botched figs, but releases, whatever... its better than anything else in the wrestling world!!!! go CS!!!! go jermy!! one more year bro'!!!

im definitely going to get bossman and lance storm. probably the bezerker but i have to see him first. and ill only get spike dudley if he is in his ECW attire. im not really a spike fan but i have the ECW dudleys so he would be cool to add to the family

I've been waiting for a Bossman since CS started, so yes, you could say I'm looking forward to it slightly. (That it is a strong lineup is a bonus too)

I'm excited for the set. This set has very good potential if they don't mess it up. I can't wait for proto's of this set. I just hope they don't mess this set up.

Hawk, Animal and Berzerker... can possibly pass on the rest depending on how they look... as much as everyone wants CS9 counterparts done for LOD - I'd rather not have an LOD2000 Hawk fig... not their best era...

See.. I dunno. We've already gotten RVD, and I can't see this one being better than the Best Buy Exclusive (which I want pretty bad), so I think I'll pass on RVD.
Bossman I'll pick up IF the figure is better than his TTL. I know it's a different era figure.. but still, we'll see.
Hawk and Animal I'll get if the attires are similar to the IE ones.
Spike Dudley I'll get IF this figure is better than the belt pack exclusive. I can't see that being the case, but the jury is out.
Lance Storm is a must have, UNLESS it looks just like his TTL, in which case I'll wait till someone has it for trade cheaply in the Classifieds.
I'll get Berzerker for sure, regardless of how decent or not the figure is.
Kidman I may pick up.. but I've got a short hair Kidman, and have been looking for another Best of WCW Kidman. I can't see what attire they're going to make Billy Kidman in if not his Raven's Flock attire.. and we've already gotten that one. If they give him his beads necklace, and he gets the black shirt with the ankh on it, it's a must have. If it's the BoWCW figure with black jean shorts instead of blue, I'll pass.
I anticipate picking up Bossman, Berserker, Lance Storm, Kidman, and Spike.. but we'll see.
And why would you say the last few sets of CS have sucked? CS 20 gave us Dynamite Kid, a swank Ric Flair, Tony Atlas, mid 90's WCW Ron Simmons, an awesome WCW style Rey Mysterio... what's bad about that set? The past few sets have given us Kevin Sullivan, Cactus Jack, Tatanka, an old school Val Venis, Kane, Steve Austin, Rikishi, Howard Finkel, Adam Bomb... I've liked the past few sets. Evil Doink was meh.. and it sucks that Nikita was so hard to find, and now I've got two of them because of the Koloffs pack (so weird holding that Ivan figure.. I'm the one that pointed him in Jeremy's direction). Overall though, I'm feeling the last few CS sets.

Should be a pretty good set. However it would have been 100% better if Lita was still in there.

I really hope that Hawk and Animal match up with the CS9 versions.

Hawk, Animal and Berzerker... can possibly pass on the rest depending on how they look... as much as everyone wants CS9 counterparts done for LOD - I'd rather not have an LOD2000 Hawk fig... not their best era... Really.. they need to do counterparts for the CS 9 figures. Hawk and Animal may be the biggest case of one being worthless without the other (and I mean that in a good way.. they aren't totally worthless.. I'm well aware that Power Warrior/Droz/Heidenrich is the third LOD member, thank you). And even though you seemingly didn't LIKE LOD 2000 (and I agree, it wasn't the best time in either man's career), LOD 2000 was a gimmick that got a bit of airtime.. and one of the things that both men will be most widely remembered for. The gimmick had such an impact that Sunny's only RA styled figure to date is in her gear she wore managing LOD 2000. We certainly need a Hawk in that gear as much as we need an Animal to match the CS 9 Hawk. Should be a pretty good set. However it would have been 100% better if Lita was still in there. Lita's Ring Rage and AD figures do an excellent job of capturing her likeness.. and while they might make a neat looking Lita if she got a CS figure... I'd be the same way as I am about RVD and Kidman getting CS figures. We have the "iconic, classic" attires for those two.. as we do for Lita, IMHO.

don't get why we need a RVD so soon. The LOD will make or break the series.

After the last two poor CS sets, is anyone looking forward to CS23? I think it looks like a pretty good line-up. What is your thoughts on it? Classic Superstars #23 (TBD) Rob Van Dam (2) - possibly...depends on the attire & parts Big Bossman - Blue Attire - Medium Body (2) - I think I'm gonna wait for an attitude era fig if I get one Hawk (1.5) - I heard LOD was set to be in an upcoming 3 pack Animal (1.5) - same as above Spike Dudley (1) - ONLY if it is in ECW attire Lance Storm (1) - for sure Berzerker (1) - no Billy Kidman (1) - not likely.....I hope it's not his WCW attire....we basically got that fig in the BoWCW release TRISH STRATUS - LJN STYLE CHASER (1) - I own a couple....it depends....won't pay retail for it

Hopefully Storm resembles his 8X10. Hell, even if Jakks gives him the WWE equivalent of the three belts, they at least get a B- for effort.

I'd be the same way as I am about RVD and Kidman getting CS figures. We have the "iconic, classic" attires for those two.. as we do for Lita, IMHO. Lita has never had a figure representing her classic look. The look she was most known for was the "thong". Her days with the Hardys & even as a solo wrestler were never captured from that era with the exact look. The ONLY figure that was representative of that time is her Fatal 4 Way figure.
