Lita was the first thing that came to mind for me as well. They removed her from the singles and still haven't put her in any future lineups. The only thing I can think of that they might do is make her an IE with cloth attire or a 3pack with the Hardyz.

I'm happy that Jakks is putting Hunter on. Lame gimmick? Really? I missed out on CS1 and I thought the MOC pics and prototypes were brilliant.
What, you're pissed because Jakks is giving a chance on everyone who missed out CS1?

Good. These will sell so there won't be as many Classics clogging the pegs. I might get Hunter if he has a robe, I will pass on Rey-Rey.

The Classic line has been out for years. Unlike Ruthless Aggression figures, they don't get new people that they can do debuting every month. The well has pretty much dried up and that is why people are seeing such dilluted line ups. Sure there are a lot of old school wrestlers who haven't been done; but Jakks won't make guys who are sure to be shelf warmers. Per example, hardcore collectors aside; Jakks core demographic would rather purchase a Classic HHH/Rey/Cena than a Classic Verne Gagne.
Jakks does a very good job at connecting with their fanbase of hardcore collectors, and I think the collectors sometimes take this the wrong way and it ends up giving them a false sense of entitlement. Jakks didn't screw up anything, they are releasing figures that will make them money.

Oh jeez, that gimmick was so lame. He could never win a match as the Blue Blood and you know i'm right.

Gimmick aside (And it was a great heel gimmick - I actually prefer Hunter Hearst Helmsley to HHH, especially CS-wise) When he debuted, he had a months long undefeated streak. I might be wrong, but wasn't Warrior his first defeat? Either way, under that gimmick he won a tounament for the IC belt and King Of The Ring. He couldn't win a match? get your facts straight. The replacement was OK for me, They've replaced one figure I wouldn't buy with one I might (and another one I probably won't) Also, shouldn't this whole discussion go in the stickied thread about the new lineups?

No, Warrior was not his first loss so get your facts straight. Before the Warrior match he was loosing pig pen matches against Henry Godwin for gods sakes.

No, Warrior was not his first loss so get your facts straight. Before the Warrior match he was loosing pig pen matches against Henry Godwin for gods sakes. Well, I did say I may be wrong about the Warrior thing (And I still might) but he definitely won the (only) pig pen match against Henry Godwinn. He ended up in the pig crapafter the match, but he did win it. Come to think of it, I think he lost on the '96 Royal Rumble Free For All by Count-out to Duke Droese in a No.1 vs No.30 match, so Warrior definitely wasn't his first defeat. But we're getting off the point of this superfluous thread. Another point I'd like to make about the CS 24 lineup is that while I don't think any of the individual names are necessarily bad, taken as a whole the lineup is a bit weak - perhaps the reason for Cena being included in the first place, and being replaced with two perennial favourites.
