That Lance Storm is incredible. I will be picking up Storm, and possibly Spike Dudley. Spike's head does look odd, but that's how he acted/looked in ECW. It's a dead on figure.
Bossman does suck pretty badly.
I'm VERY dissapointed in the RVD. Jakks had a chance to make an incredible Van Dam. It's not THAT hard to make. They have made plenty of RVD's with the tape around his hands and wrists. They have made almost every RVD with "Van Dam" on the boots. The singlet on it's own looks decent, but knowing Jakks it won't have a back. They could have done alot better with this figure, and it's a bigger dissapointment in my eyes than Bossman. It's like a student who gets a B on his test, wants to get an A, retakes it and fails badly. Like, doesn't even put his name on his paper badly. This is the first Bossman they have done, and while it does suck, they messed up the 100th RVD they have done and they could have reused one or two old parts and made it good.
Trish looks like an anime character more than Trish Stratus.
Billy Kidman is pretty damn cool. I have the BOWCW one, but I like this headscan more. Reminds me of when he was a cocky heel in the late days of WCW vs. Hulk Hogan.
LOD 2000 looks great, they always surprisingly never fail to make LOD detailed. I already have the blue LOD, so I probably won't get these, but this is great.
Berzerker, though I've never seen him wrestler, looks extremely detailed.

I'd been looking forward to seeing protos of this set for a long time. To that guy who was complaining about "scan": relax...its a term used to describe the heads on figures, we all know they aren't scanning the faces of dead guys, etc. Its just a slang term instead of saying face or head. Berzerker - Prototype looks awesome. I would have preferred his brown attire (like the Hasbro) but this will do, I wonder if Jakks will go all out and give him a sheild & sword? O wait, this is Jakks, he will come with a ring bell. Hawk - love how they are going to use the NWA CS 9 head with an LOD 2000 body. At least they are using the new torso. Attire choice is great. Too b ad the pads wont match CS 9 Animal...oh wait... Animal - WHAT THE F? Did Jakks forget about Classic 9? I guess we will never get that matching Animal. Now I'll have to hunt down another CS 9 Hawk & Animal so I can do a part switch. Why does Jakks insist on me spending MORE money? On the plus side, this Animal looks a ton better than CS 9. RVD - Um, ok. Of all the attires RVD wore they choose this? Its not like he didn't have enough RA figures. I mean it looks cool, and of course is very accurate, but come on. He already didn't need to be in the Classic line, it was obviously a cheap out because they didnt need to "sign" him. I hope he ends up coming with the thumb hands at least. Spike Dudley - Amazing. The scan is awesome. This was exactly how I hoped this figure looked. I thought with the Colin Delaney body "debuting" they would have used it, but they must not have had it ready for Spike. At least the skinny arms would have been nice. Other than that, this is damn near perfect. Big Boss Man - Words cannot express the disappointment I will have if his torso ends up like this. I didn't know Bossman was the same size as Shane McMahon. The scan is exactly what I thought...the re-tooled TTL scan, another letdown. Big Bossman was one of my most wanted Classic figures. I really hope Jakks does something about this, I don't care if it isn't perfect but at least get his upper body right...if he were alive, he would be pissed. Lance Storm- Amazing. One of the best figures I've ever seen. The scan captures Storm PERFECTLY. The attire is awesome and the part choices are perfect. There is nothing wrong with this figure. I was afraid they were just going to re-use the TTL scan, but thankfully no. Billy Kidman- alright, WTF? Why does Kidman get a brand new scan but not RVD or Bossman? Billy Kidman sucks, he's always sucked. I gotta give Jakks props for the scan though, its the best likeness I've seen of him. I had considered ending my Classic "completeist" ways when he was announced for this set, because I really don't want it, but it would just bug me having every other figure except Kidman. Eh, maybe I will wait until he ends up on clearance because NO ONE will buy him. LJNs are a waste of space, time & money. Yuck This is a great set, but with its ups & downs like always. I'm still looking forward to owning most of these

the good: lance storm berzerker any hawk is good for me
- RVD sure is a legend but cmon its been made dozens of figures better than that!! - the F$%@# lineup said Animal as matching AWA attire with CS 9 Hawk - Figures like the LOD 2000 the made in this set reinforces my desicion of NOT BUYING ANY EXCLUSIVE FIGS AT ALL!!! I MEAN, FOR WHAT WOULD I IF THEY WILL BE ARRIVING INDIVIDUALLY IN THE NEXT CS SET?? - Boss Man looks like he just came out of the hospital from lyposuction
GOOD JOB LISTENING TO THE FANS JEREMY!!!

well, for me berzerker and boss man are the ones im after....bossman is unchanged from this pic will need some fix up work but nothing i cant handle... i would say in recent fix ups of jakks classic guys the ones that took the most time and imagination was the rock and roll exspress...
my fix up of them is still over on customs board for those who have not seen it... boss man for me will be a very easy fix.

Animal - A definite improvement over CS9 (which I don't have). Will likely be ordering it with Hawk... Berzerker - I used to enjoy the B-Zerker. Good chance I'll pick this one up as it looks great... Big Bossman - Lack of cloth shirt and the anorexic Bossman look kills this figure. I wasn't looking forward to this as a lot were, but I'm still disappointed in it... Hawk - Was really hoping for a new scan without the tongue sticking out, but at least they went with the other face-paint style (and not a complete re-hash of CS9 as they've added the orange stripe as well!) Overall a great figure from a point in time where the Road Warriors were no longer the Gods they once were. I'll still be picking it up to add to my Hawk collection... Anyone got a CSTT1 they're willing to part with..? Kidman - Decent figure, but nothing special here... Lance Storm - If I can be serious for a moment, this figure is phenomenal. A must have... RVD - So many RA RVDs - why another..? Li'l Spike Dudley - Aside from the muscles, this is dead-on for LSD... Trish Stratus - Trish is a Goddess. Still isn't going to make me purchase this figure, although I do like it...

Animal & Hawk: They will not have the knee pads IMO and no new hair for Hawk, but over all the set looks alright.
Berzerker: Perfection!!!
Big Bossman: Way too thin and the strap across his his chest better be fixed as well.
Kidman: Love that they did his early attire and glad for the new headscan.
Storm: Perfection!!!
RVD: Could have done so much more with this.
Spike: Horrible he looks like my old next door neighbor.

the bossman is possibly the worst of the entire cs series. What a let down. Someone actually greenlighted that figure. I guarantee it won't change.

The whole classic fig "faction" was waiting for Bossman. And now...Jakks you got to be joking?
I think with this figure,jakks has proven why they lost the contract to Mattel.
I think Ray Traylor is turning in his grave after this.

I was pretty happy to see the protos for the newest Classic figs show up. Here are my thoughts:
Animal - It's nice to see that there are tattoos added and hopefully the knee pads will be there on the final product but...I really think we needed a Road Warrior Animal here and not another LOD 2000 Animal.
Hawk - This one looks really good. I hope they keep the same parts for the final product. If they have to change anything I would rather see the boots change to the Batista boots. Other than that, no complaints here.
Berzerker - This one looks really good too. I hope the helmet isn't actually molded onto the head, I would rather see Jakks make it a new accessory.
Big Bossman - This is really disappointing. Bossman is way too thin and that shirt mold does not work for this figure. There had better be some serious changes to that torso for the final product.
Kidman - I wasn't looking forward to this figure because we already had a Classic Kidman in the Best of WCW line but this is actually a lot better. They used the correct boots for this one and I think the head scan looks a lot better so I'm happy with this one.
Lance Storm - WOW! I am impressed with Jakks on this one. All of the correct parts were used and the head scan looks great! This was the attire I was hoping they were going to use too!
RVD - Meh, this one's kinda bland. Unless they make some changes to the final product, I'm gonna have to pass on this one.
Spike Dudley - WOW! Another gem! This one looks really good. The only change I would make is that I would have used the shorter boots with the tongues out. I hope they give him the smaller arms too. The head scan looks alright.
Trish - Ugh! Definately gonna pass on this one!
LANCE STORM - Lookspretty good, alot like him, shame he's the worst name in the set and one of the only decent figures.
RVD - Just a cheap repaint, nothing to say about it other than it's not as good as many other versions and it's a disgrace for Jakks to put that in CS. I actually like RVD alot but that figure is just a space filler.
SPIKE DUDLEY - I really like the scan and the attire, shame he's gong to be gigantic with huge muscles. No improvement over the belt pack one as they are both out of scale.
Trish - Um, no thanks! Pass!
Overall, this set is pretty impressive and a step up from the lackluster sets that were coming out recently.

Well, LOD... it's LOD.. we've already had enough of them... another repaint... LOL.. who cares... And RVD.. another repaint...
I never remember Bossman being that thin with a mongoloid head... He looks a bit downsydromish.. not to offend anyone...
Kidman.. hmm... would of rather of had a more serious face.. that smile has to go..
Spike Dudley never had muscles like that.. How stupid.. Everything else is cool with him but they need to get rid of those muscles.
I never like the LJN figures anyways... but Trish does look sort of anime like.. lol..
Lance Storm and The Berseker are nice.

One thing that keeps going through my head, when did Bossman every have his shirt untucked? lol
And when did he ever wear an over coat over a shirt? WTF, where is the logic?
