First off, I feel sorry for the Big Bossman fans. I never really cared for him (as an NWA fan, I never understood how Jim Cornette's bodyguard was getting such a push in the WWF), but I know a lot of people wanted this figure and it sucks. Really, the Dusty/Kamala torso just painted to look like a shirt would be better than this.
I'm disappointed in the LOD, but it seems Jakks insists on giving us set after set of these guys from when they were way past their prime. Hopefully they can do a good AWA or NWA set in the rumored post-WWE classics line. Why make LOD 2000 when they refuse to make the right head scans? Wouldn't old school Road Warriors have been cheaper to make accurately?
I'm one of the few who isn't outraged by Kidman being in the classic line. He was a good performer who had a good career in WCW. I like the new scan enough to replace my BOWCW fig, whose scan I hated. A Raven's Flock look would have been cool, but did people really think we'd get one random Flock member when we don't even have Raven?
The other figures look pretty cool (I always ignore the "LJN"s), but I wasn't a fan of those wrestlers.

^^ We need CS Divas though also. It's not just the guys that made wrestleing popular. BTW WTF is wrong with Spike Dudley? He looks.. unright. Trish looks cool (I'll get). BUT, Billy Kidman looks outta place with all those legends.. I wish they didnt take out Lita .

If I didn't own all of the single classic superstars already, I probably wouldn't be buying any of these.. I will once again buy the entire set, but not by choice.. I really was hoping for gold on this set, but I really can't feel let down.. honestly, I will just be happy to get any bossman that I can get.. I just wish that Lance f***ing Storm wasn't the best looking figure in the whole set.. thats probably what upsets me the most.. even Spike didn't look that intellectually- disabled with that gimmick..

Lots of complaining here, but apart from an abysmal Bossman (how can they get the proportions so wrong?), bland RVD attire and a slightly dodgy scan on Kidman, this series ain't too bad. Bezerker and Storm are excellent, Spike is a fun piece and although it may not be your cup of tea, I kinda like that cartoony Trish.

For everyone who says ," They see nothing wrong with Spike " What are you looking at !!!! Its not so much the face but come on when did Spike get a gym membership and start hitting the weights !!!!!! ...and have a painted chest with a singlet tucked into jean shorts.

Spike=WOW you give Delaney new parts..then you recycle spike and give him muscle arms!!!??are they STUPID or just don't care up. Yeah, I agree it is odd to use the beefy arms for Spike. But Jakks have never been the best at choosing body parts. I'm hoping Mattel will be much better in that regard.

Why do you guys keep referring to the heads on these classic figures as "scans"? Except in instances where the wrestler currently works for WWE, or worked for them at some point in the recent past such as Kidman, then the head is molded, not scanned. You certainly can't scan the face of a dead person, and you definitely can't scan the face of someone to look as they did twenty years ago.

The Big Bossman figure might look different in-person, and it looks like they are going for the 2nd half of 1991 thru 1992 era Bossman, he lost a lot of weight after he turned face in early 1991, I remember he was a LOT thinner by Summerslam that year (He was in Hogan's corner at SummerSlam 91) .
I so wish they would do an Unmatched Fury Trish Stratus. Make it as accurate as possible.....drool.....

I really had high hopes for some of this set and like many others I am highly dissapointed.
Lance Storm - Highlight of the set by far. Great looking figure.
Spike Dudley - cartoonish and the face doesn't look like him at all. Great attire though.
Berzerker - This is just a figure of some random Viking. Doesn't resemble John Nord at all.
Hawk - ok I guess
Animal - waste of a figure
Kidman - nice looking figure but we already have this fig in the Best of WCW line
Trish - Not even commenting on a LJN figure
Bossman - really messed up that one Jakks
RVD - good looking figure but we already have tons of RVD's. Now I am expected to pay more for one??

I am very happy with this set. I Love Berzerker, Storm, and Spike. And I am very happy with LOD,RVD and Kidman. The only one I am upset with is the Bossman, but hopefully he is improved before the actual release. He does seem "sickly thin" Like he is dying of some awful plague.

Didn't they already release one of LOD 2000 in another series, and then a much older retro Road Warrior for the other guy? They should redress that imbalance rather than put out both LOD 2000s (and did they only wear one detailed kneepad?).
Spike, Storm, Kidman, Berserker - all good.
RVD - basically the same as his RA figures.
Bossman - really weird torso, looks way too small for his head and legs.

HAWK ANIMAL-already too many, but nice set BERZERKER-12/10 BEATIFUL! SPIKE-12/10 I can't believe they made him in the attire I wanted! Perfect likeness. RVD- I wish it was a more colorful RVD, like his ECW debut TRISH-I'm not gonna bother about something I'll never buy LANCE-Again, I'm thrilled with the classic look. Would of preferred black instead of the white, but this is still something I plan on getting KIDMAN-Not to bad, but I feel it shouldn't be in the classics MIGHT BE GOOD FOR AN OWEN CUSTOM?
Now for the disappointment in Jakks History... BOSSMAN- WTF JAKKS? USE THE COLONEL MUSTAFA BODY! HE WAS THE "BIG" BOSSMAN FOR A REASON! OH WAIT, THIS WAS WHEN HE GOT LIPO...AND WHAT IS UP WTH THE HEAD? IT LOOKS LIKE A SHAVED EARTHQUAKE TRYING TO GO POOP! FIX THE BOSSMAN!
