If I see Trish in stores I'm picking it up. I don't normally get the LJN style but that figure is great.

I know The Big Bossman figure just a prototype...... BUT DAMN! That is the most god awful CS proto to date. PLEASE Jeremy change it!
The rest of CS23 looks ok. Hopefully Berzerker's Helmet is removable

CS23 is a HUGE letdown to me , except for the Berzerker. I have been waiting on that figure since about series 6. I dont however like the color choice for his shirt as I only remember him wearing brown and dark navy blue.
Bossman SUCKS - body and scan look so weird.
LOD pissed me off. I thought we were going to matcing LODs to series 9 with the 2000 era and the NWA era. I wish they would have never made them now. I dont care so much about the 2000 Hawk as I do the NWA Animal. Guess I better get some customs done to make them match.
The rest I could care less about. Already have RVD, Kidman, and Spike. I never was a Lance Storm fan. He had no personality or at least it seemed that way to me. He was a great worker by all means, but I never found him entertaining. Lance never persuaded me to buy a ticket I guess.But as a figure, Lance looks pretty good as do all of the ones that I have mentioned in this paragraph. But I could care less about them I guess.

Bossman SUCKS - body and scan look so weird. It's not a scan, it's a mold! You think Jakks dug up his corpse and used the real scan process on his face? Although there is one Real Scan Bossman in existence from Rulers of the Ring 2, so I guess it's possible....

Why are we getting another LOD2000 animal? why does the LOD2000 hawk have a 80s facepaint head and hair style??
Berzerker looks ace. Hope his hat is remvable. a sword and shield may be too much to ask for but i can hope. HUSK!
Bossman looks horible. That untucked paulie shirt just looks like crap. What a freakin slob. This must be corrected.
Kidman: dont need him since bowcw but atelast we got a new head.
Lance looks awsome
RVD unnecicary
SPike halarious head scan. Outfit is trashy but love that head!

Oh jeez, where do i start....
Well there is some good and some bad in this set. Lance Storm and the Berzerker are perfect looking figures if you ask me, but what's going on with LOD??? What happened to switching them up and giving us the proper versions!!! oh well to be honest i am more than happy with my CSTT1 and CS6 versions of them so i am not really at all bothered by this horrendous mess that jakks has created here.
Rob Van Dam.....wow!!! what a ridiculous and boring attire choice. Of all the attires they could of given him they come up with this? oh jeez, i was looking forward to owning a RVD figure as i don't have one, but i guess i'd be better finding a RA series RVD as this figure just completely blows on every count. Still, i am not surprised by this one bit.
Now for the interesting part....The Big Bossman.....He has been one of my most wanted CS figures for as long as i can remember and i was so looking forward to seeing the proto of his figure and upon seeing it i wept like a baby (no i didn't really, but i was very pissed off) and i just can't believe how badly they have screwed him up. It's ridiculous!!! yes i know he lost a lot of weight in 1990 i believe, but come on man he was never thin for gods sakes!!! i really don't know what criteria they use to determine how to make a figure, but they are leaving an awful lot to be desired in my view.
The sad thing is because it's the Big Bossman i will defintely pick him up, but it's just such a shame he will look better with cruiserweights than heavyweights.
Seriously jakks you have plenty of time to fix this up and i suggest you start doing so straight away. You have really let a lot of people down yet again!!!

Hawk & Animal - They still haven't done LOD 2000 right. But I guess it's close. If they look exactly as good as the protos (or better) I might get them. Why does Hawk have to have his tongue sticking out on every figure. Another sculpt would have been nice.
Berserker - I know nothing about him, but the figure made me laugh... in a good way. I'm sure I will get him. He looks good and has a cloth outfit, which is always nice.
Rob Van Dam - Definitely passing on him. It's basically the same figure from a few years ago. Old head scan, same old parts. I would have liked a better singlet with a new scan (or at least an RA scaled straight face scan like from the Big Lots figure).
Lance Storm - I like it. An RA scaled head, nice attire. I will probably retire my custom upon this release.
Little Spike Dudley - Frikkin awesome! It is the exact Spike I wanted. I hope nothing changes (please no Cena shorts!)
Kidman - Pretty good Flock era Kidman. Hope it turns out well.
Bossman - Looks horrendous. Needs a new body at the very least. Otherwise I will stick with my TTL version.
Trish - a waste of space in the case.

Bossman lost a lot of weight in the early 90s, but he was never small. A torso the size of the Harley Race one (with either cloth or molded shirt) would be perfect for the Bossman I always envisioned as a CS, the early 90s face. The CS10 Dusty mold would be alright for Big heel Bossman, but I prefer him as a face. As a Bossman fan, I'd be happy with a not perfect figure of him, but this proto is testing my loyalty a bit much. Honestly, it would be passable, but still a bit small, if they just cut the bottom of the front of the shirt off so it looks tucked in. Disappointed.
I don't get the extra hating for the Trish. I know there's always hating for the LJNs, but this is on another level. I think it's one of the better ones. Some people say it looks like a barbie. They must just mean Trish is a girl, because it looks like no Barbie Ive ever seen
Bezerker I like
Lance is a pretty flawless likeness.
Spike is good, I think the hair needs to be thinner, though. If scale issues bothered me, I might have something else to say here, but they don't.
RVD I was hoping for a crazy singlet design, rather than the boring, albeit accurate, choice here.
LOD and Kidman I'm having trouble even caring about wether they're good or not. Odd, seeing as I'm quite the LOD fan. Not so much Kidman, though.
Overall an average set, which could have been brilliant.

First off the Berzerker & Lance Storm are the exact attaire I was hoping for so well pleased. Unlike others here I like the Spike figure for some reason. Don't collect LJN's so interest in Trish although she looks more cartoonyy than others. RVD is a very boring choice of ring gear & Kidman was fine in BOWCW so no interest in either. Hawk & Animal is obviously as close to LOD2000 as we will get. Kinda defeats the p[oint of CS9 Animal though & also suggests we'll be getting an NWA LOD pair somewhere down the line as well. Take CS9 out of the way & I don't hate these figures so will pick them up.
Then we get to Bossman, my most anticipated figure in the set. Having recently got the ADR street clothes Dusty I had a horrible feeling this would happen. However he loooks far too thin However I hope they don't over react & give him a too big mould like they did with Rikishi.

OMG, this is one of the best CS Sets ever! Simply because they were all around in the late 90s- the glory years of wrestling for me. If i still collected, i'd get the whole set. I'm really impressed, with Kidman, Lance Storm, Spike Dudley and LOD 2000 Hawk. Don't really care as much about the others unless they do give Animal his spider web knee pad. Jakks obviously saw how well his head worked for Berserker because THEY'VE JUST USED A RETOOLED HILLBILLY JIM HEAD! Why can no one see this? RVD and Stratus are filler, this is ok but i thought that RVD had severed his ties with them. I'd rather have a pink or green Sabu in his place.
And after waiting so long for him, Boss Man is an abomination. How could they have his shirt untucked? What, are we supposed to do? Believe this is off duty Doughnut Shop attire Bossman? Honestly.
So a solid set in terms of roster, but a number of flaws prohibit it from being perfect figurewise. I am so glad i'm not creaming over this crap like i would do if i still collected.

Billy Kidman and Lance Storm are the best in the set....it's nice that Kidman has a new head....his BOWCW one never really resembled him....Lance is nice since a new head is also there....only Kidman for me!I REALLY HOPE that the Philippines gets this.......I don't see the point of people ranting about Kidman in the CS line....I mean we got a Buff Bagwell fig,so I think a Kidman is necessary...Kidman had a great career in WCW so he definitely deserves one unlike John Cena....at least it's not a Billy Kidman in short hair towards the end of his WWE career...Tnx Jakks!

I was just thinking, I really hope that by some odd chance Lance ends up with the short kickpads, those ones will make him too tall
