I was going to buy this anyway as he's one of the ones I've been waiting for since I started collecting (CS2). But I do think this change is for the better as that was one of the worst looking protos that I've ever seen...I was so disappointed. The Brother Love torso may not be 100% accurate but I think it will come a heck of a lot closer than the proto does.

I'd want to see the "new" protos first before rejoicing or giving props to JP.

Some people on this site are SO BLOODY STUPID!!!! If you don't know who the Big Bossman is that's fair enough, if you don't care about the figure that's fine, but DON'T ALL PRETEND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ON ABOUT JUST TO FIT IN!!! It doesn't help at all and we'll probably end up with an even worse Bossman figure now!!! The Brother Love shirt is a thousand times worse than the Dusty/Foley shirt. The proto may be terrible but at least it's not the wrong size really, around the chest it's a bit slim but that's it. The Brother Love shirt is WAY TOO FAT and IT'S DONE UP TO THE TOP!!! It's so much worse. I despair of WWE figure collectors, so many of you spout ill informed opinions that you read on here anyway, you don't know who you are talking about or what parts have been used or what parts are available, some of you don't even seem to understand that Jakks figures use the same parts or that they are even made up of seperate parts and not one solid figure!!! Honestly, there's so many WWE figure collectors that have no idea what they are on about that the few that do will never be heard.
Sherri, I've supported you in the past but you are an idiot if you had anything to do with getting the Bossman figure made even worse. Why bother interfering if you don't even know what you are on about?!!

Also - That Brother Love shirt will make him gigantic in height. The only way this figure should be done is with these parts -
- Cloth shirt with details printed on, pleather belt stiched around the bottom to make it look tucked in, fastening at the front of belt with velcro. - Duggan torso - HW arms - Rest of figure same as proto.
That is perfectly feasible, less work than Beserker for example, the only reason Jakks wouldn't do that is because they always like to ruin the first version of any figure so they sell more of the next, they think this figure will sell regardless so they'll ruin this one, sell some anyway, then do a decent Attitude Era one that everyone is supposed to buy too. However, the 90/91 face blue attire Bossman is my most wanted figure ever, the Attitude one would be great but it's not the same.
Anyway, if the cloth shirt really isnt possible then why not just a new "jacket piece" similar to the old rubber shirts, vests, jackets etc? Colin Delaney got ALL NEW MOLDS and that was fully tooled body parts with joints and everything, A WHOLE FIGURE for a jobber who got sacked after a few months, surely a Legend like the Big Bossman, a household name around the world, can have only little rubber shirt piece made?!! There's no question about it, it IS possible, if Jakks want to ruin this figure they will do it just as a business tactic, they know how to make good figures and they know who Bossman is. If it's released like the proto, or worse still with the Brother Love shirt, then it was just a trick to sell a few more figures in the long run.

This is complete and total rubbish, I e-mailed Jeremy the other day, and he told me that since CS 23 was already in production, it was unlikely that any significant changes from the prototype would occur. Looks like were stuck this this crappy Bossman

If they make the torso change, I'll definately pick him up. If they don't I'll hold out and pray the corporation version is better....either way if we don't get what we want I'll still settle and buy one cuz he's bossman and that's what sucks, no matter what most of us will buy it because it's someone we want badly

Given that Bossman was a big fat heel that lost weight to become a face I think the BL torso would be better (but by no means perfect - buttoned up shirt, ugh...) than the AD Dusty one. Better to look between the two sizes and tucked in than altogether far too small and hanging out. Bossman is my favourite wrestler of all time, so don't you dare tell me I don't know what I'm talking about (though feel free to diss my choice of favourite wrestler - it wouldn't be the first time anyone has) I do agree, however, with your view of a perfect Bossman figure in your subsequent post but unfortunately I feel there's not a very good chance of it coming to fruition.

I agree with ya, and I like your choice of fave wrestler! The brother love shirt would be miles better than the foley one they wanna give us, the only problem is that it's completely buttoned up as mentioned before, but I'd rather take a semi accurate bossman than a far off one

The brother love shirt would be miles better than the foley one they wanna give us, the only problem is that it's completely buttoned up as mentioned before, but I'd rather take a semi accurate bossman than a far off one Well, if you can't visualise how bad it will look with a shirt buttonned to the top, a huge gut and towering over all other figures then maybe you'll get to see if this monstrosity goes ahead. Even if the Foley toso is a bit smaller than he was in his slimmer days, isn't it better to have him slightly thin and everything else closer to accurate? The two things I've said since the signing is that the shirt has to be undone but tucked in which is somethin that customisers have had trouble with and something that can't be achieved with current Jakks parts. I've suggested two solutions, one with a cloth shirt, one wth a new rubber shirt piece, either of which would be possible but if Jakks can't be bothered than I'd rather at least have a version with the shirt untucked, at least we've seen him with it untucked at the end of matches, we never saw him with it done up to the top including the top button, if they are gonna do that they may aswell give him a tie too. This is my most wanted figure ever too so we're all on the same side. Jakks may well decide to screw this figure up on purpose knowing that we'll buy it no matter how bad it is but I think that's disrespectful both to the Big Bossman's memory and to his fans/CS collectors, this figure shouldn't be used as a way to screw us out of money, there won't be another face Bossman figure in blue so this is our only shot at it. Believe me, the Brother Love torso will look horrible, that's a fact, it will look even worse than the Foley torso, wait and see. If you think we deserve a proper Bossman in blue then email Jeremy and tell him otherwise we are definately not going to get that figure for our collection, unless you're happy to have him hidden at the back so only his dodgy can is visible.

Would be good if he follows through and gives him the different torso. I remember he said that the CS10 Dusty torso would switch back to the one used in the proto pic in the second production run, but that never happened. Nor did the Bobby Heenan that was supposed to be similar to the 1/100 Toy Fair Heenan in Weasel suit like he promised us. Sometimes I think he says what we want to hear just to shut us up. don't forget when he said they'd re-tool the DA figure to be in scale with RA.

Eh, if the final figure ends up like the proto, I'll buy one and fix him up into a WCW Ray Traylor with a custom vest or something

i also feel the brother love torso would be better...twin towers bossman was 380 0r so....and despite the shirt being button up all the way the weight and size would be better in my view...and im not saying this to supposedly fit in..i been a hulk a maniac since hs wars with nick bockwinkell in the awa and have followed wrestling for a long time... i was very happy with my custom bossman made with the same body jeremy says he switching to... as far as height, boss man was listed often at 6'6" so this build to me is a good choice... worse case scenario it will be another easy fix up for me is all

I'll wait and judge after I've seen the final product. The Dusty torso (as shown in the proto) just doesn't fit. I agree with the idea of using a larger rubber shirt over say a cruiserweight body as thickness of rubber would make Boss Man look like he did in the early-90s
