So obviously a lot of us are happy that they withdraw John Cena, but what/who do they replace him with???
Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Rey Mysterio!
Way to go jakks you bloody idiots. Nobody gives a crap about either Mysterio or Helmsley. Why not give us somebody like Rick Rude with short hair or heck even a repaint as the guy had hundreds of different attires or how about a WWE version of Lex Luger in WWE attire in either his debut outfit or his USA attire?
Of course they won't do that as it means making an effort and they are far too lazy for that. Nothing surprises me anymore with Jakks.

Well, I for one am happy about a Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Seriously? We already have 1 version of that lame gimmick and that is more than enough. Surely you can think of far more deserving talent that could of had that spot instead. I sure know i can.

Well, I for one am happy about a Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Why it's basically just a CS1 re-release. Now if they did the attire (or one similiar too) they are doing in the next CSDA line i'd be all down for it. As for Mysterio - he's horrible and enough RA as well as CS figure of him have already been made (aside from his stint without a mask - but i don't see that happening)

I can think of a lot of people, but seeing Jeremy isn't going to sign them I'd rather another HHH over modern wrestlers like Cena, Hardy's, Orton, Batisa that they seem to want to throw into the CS line now ...Or more Reys & Lex's. So I'd rather another HHH provided they get him right this time as CS1 HHH was very lacking. WMXII was that when he was beat by the Warrior in under a minute or something like that? I'd much rather a Triple H from around 2002, but I'll take this one.
I have a whole list of wrestlers I'd rather see, but like I said Jeremy isn't going to sign any of them with only one year left on the WWE Contract.
1.Sting - 1990 GAB attire including entrance jacket (maybe they can make this when they start producing TNA figures) 2. Scott Steiner - With Rick in a CSTT in their WM IX attires including Letterman's jackets (like Sting maybe they can make this when they start producing TNA figures) 3. Kerry Von Erich - Any Texas Tornado attire (or in a 2-pack with Flair from the David Von Erich memorial) 4. Pedro Morales - red & orange trunks and a red & silver entrance jacket 5. Billy Jack Haynes - WMIII attire...including entrance jacket and hat. 6. Hercules Hernandez - black trunks, white boots (w/ fist & lightning bolts design) Long chain 7.& 8. Executioners - Studd & Kowalski versions 9. Mr. Fuji -wrestling attire (Black tights that stop at the top of calves, Rising sun logo on thigh & barefoot and old WWF Tag title) 10. . Ole Anderson - red trunks w/ stars 11. Kevin Von Erich - white trunks although I'll take any attire 12. Pat Patterson - black trunks & boots 13. Mil Mascaras - in gold with 2 masks 14. Larry the Axe Hennig - black attire 15. Nick Bockwinkel - Black trunks & boots 16. David Von Erich 17. Mr. Sieto -black 3/4 length tights (W/ old WWF tag title) 18. Magnum TA - red trunks, red & white cowboy boots and vest (with old NWA US title) 19. Baron von Raschke - black tights with a red stripe down the side of the legs 20. SD Jones - blue trunks 21. Quickdraw Rick McGraw - red trunks (Never happen) 22. Tony Garea - Red trunks w/ blue trim & blue boots w/ red toes/heels and the old WWF tag title 23. Ricky Steamboat - white tights and blACK boots 24. Macho Man (Pre WMIII) 25. Wendi Richter - WM attire with woman's title belt 26. Adrain Adonis - black trunks leather jacket and hat with WWF Tag title 27. Tiger Chung Lee - Black karate pants 28. Dino Bravo - red trunks 29. Dick Slater - black trunks and boots 30. Dick Murdoch -black trunks and boots 31. Dr. D David Schultz - black single strap singlet with no thighs (Like Nikita's singlet, but with 1 strap) 32. Buzz Sawyer -Red trunks and furry boots 33. Billy White Wolf - any attire 34. Elizabeth -blue or black dress All must haves

I sure know i can. are you trying to imply that John Cena is more deserving that HHH? because I sure as hell disagree with you. I'm happy about another HHH figure....I missed out on CS1.

I would much, much rather have a Triple H instead of Cena. Cena's ok but I need a CS HHH More. ;D

I don't understand the 'more deserving' argument. This isn't the Oscars.

yeah no one cares about a new hunter figure, that is why the cs1 figure goes for around $50

I totally agree, when I said the same thing in the "CS24 is horrible" thread a few days back some chump slated me for it saying I hated all wrestling figures. Apart from all the unsigned names that I would prefer to another HHH and Rey in CS (I can't believe we even had ONE Rey in CS let alone 4!) There are LOADS of repaints we desperately need before that Rey or HHH, not just ones that I personally want but ones that I've seen requseted countless times, these are the main repaints I think we need:
TUGBOAT MR PERFECT (2 variants - one yellow w/blue back, one blue w/black) TED DIBIASE (black suit w/ CSDA scan) VIRGIL (wrestling attire, face) RICK MARTEL (purple attire w/ Arrogance, maybe a CSTT w/ Blind Jake and blindfolds) JIM NEIDHART (blue/black to match CS13 Bret) DON MURACO (heel) JIMMY HART (Whippleman mold w/ list of names on back of jacket) RICK RUDE (short hair) KAMA (2 variants - NOD and Orange attire) FAROOQ (NOD) MABEL (purple attire) CACTUS JACK (original WCW/ECW attire w/leopard print women’s top) BRITISH BULLDOG (short hair CSDA scan, tassles) DROZ (LOD attire) LOD (CS9 matches)
I could obviously add more like another Luger, more NWO members, more scaled managers etc but anything on that list would be a popular choice to do as a repaint, many of them are the signature versions that should've been done originally. The only reason the signature/most famous attires aren't done first is because Jakks like to do the lesser known ones first so they can still sell loads of repaints later when they do the signature version, that works well in RA/AD because there's always enough repaints to get the best ones done but in CS there's still loads left not done and we have strange obscure versions of wrestlers that had one iconic look that everyone remembers. I really like repaints because I like to have as many versions of people as possible but it will be such a shame if the line ends without Jakks getting around to doing the proper versions of so many figures, especially when almost every new CS figure is a repaint but not one that anyone particularly cares about.

There should be no more repsints at this point.

some people are never happy
im curious as to how the HHH is going to look. They have to have a reason why they pulled Cena in favor of a Rey & HHH. I'm hoping the HHH comes with a green entrance robe, and maybe Rey will be in one of his better WCW attires. Either way, Jakks wins. Rey will sell, HHH will sell, Cena would have sold.
However I agree with plasticsuperstar in that there are plenty more repaints I would have preferred over Rey & HHH

There should be no more repsints at this point. Well, I'm sure that's all there will be from now on besides the wrestlers who have already been signed and haven't received a figure yet. They (Jakks) aren't going to go out and sign more wrestlers for a figure that they might not get released before the end of the WWE license. They want to make money and it's easier/cheaper for them to use what wrestlers they have already signed, scanned and cast. It'll cost too much for them to sign a new wrestler. Because they'd have to pay his contract, scan his likeness and then cast it. And then they have to hope they can get it out before the WWE license expires which might not happen in time, because after the head is cast they'd have to send it to the WWE and the wrestler to make sure it meets their approval.
