I dunno. I'm pretty excited about this set really. Sure Bossman isn't 100%, but I can always display him behind someone else and pretend that he's correct. That's good enough for me. Besides, it's kinda like post-match Bossman. I don't think he had a match without having his shirt un-tucked. All they need now to make it 100% is to have the shirt RIDICULOUSLY sweaty. Oh Bossman...light blue shirt and physical activity make for a gross lookin' top.
Yeah, I like this set, as much as other people don't. I think maybe it's because I've found the past 3 or 4 sets a little underwhelming for my tastes. You'd be hard-pressed to sway me into thinking this is worse than the last set. That frightfully boring Tazz? That Bossman is leaps and bounds over that one for me. Yawn. Besides, I'm way surprised that Berzerker and LOD ended up like the proto pictures. That's good enough for me.

All in all, solid sets. I don't give a rats ass about the Bossman, so his figure doesn't bother me, but I understand others frustrations with it.
That "LJN" Trish will definitely be the first, and probably only, "LJN" I buy.

The only thing that bugs me about Bossman is....... yeah we will fix it, that's just a prototype. The fig is alright, but how many times are ya going to lie to us Jakks. If your not going to do anything, don't say your going to. Am I the only one who thinks that RAs are getting better as CS slips?

I like RA 38. Awesome of Jakks to give Kendrick a beard and jacket too. I don't watch too much of Smackdown! but he's definitely a figure I'm going to be on the look out for. The only two negatives for this set are Cena's screaming scan (looks awful to me) and the ripped torso on Rey Mysterio (c'mon now). Bossman ruins CS23 for me. I've been looking forward to his figure since they announced his signing and Jakks just ed it up royally. The scan sucks, the torso sucks, it just plain sucks. Whatever. This is the reason why I dropped the CS line. But I digress. Tyler.

Why does Bossman have a Ball and Chain?Lance Storm, Berserker, & Spike look awesome! The RVD is bland and pointless. Maybe because... If you ever take a trip down to Cobb County, Georgia. You better read the signs Respect the law and order. You'll serve hard times. You'll be serving hard times. You know the Big Boss Man will make you walk the line. You better watch out boy or you'll be serving hard time. He carries a big stick, a ball and chain too.If you're looking for trouble he'll be coming after you. You'll serve hard times.

People will pay the Money of a figure for a cloth Jacket However if he didn't come with it the Moaning would go on and On, An not nearly half as many would consider buying it.
Ohh Jakks you sly dogs !

Spike is probably my favorite out of CS23.

Let's see here... CS23-LOD 2000 came out ing AWESOME. What's with the protos we saw on eBay then? I'm so glad they wound up better than that. The shoulder pads aren't how I remember but it doesn't bother too much. Great repaints. Let's get a AWA Animal somehow now. -I'm pretty impressed with The Berzerker. His boots look high quality for a Jakks product. Nice addition. -Bossman...oh crap, Big Bossman. To be honest if you look at it head on MOC it might be almost passable. Might. The only other Bossman planned is his attitude era look. Sucks this one got botched. At least he comes with good accessories and not like a cookie sheet or something. -Lance Storm should have came with a flag. Figure itself looks top notch and I'm just happy he's in CS. Must buy for me. -Jakks didn't listen to us. RVD is a midget with the old cruiser singlet and the small kickpads. They originally designed those molds for smaller guys. Combined, he's ridiculously short. That ruins it for me since I display loose. The bat looks like crapwithout painted barbed wire - why not just use a regular bat then? -And now Spike is too tall! I mean he looks very good but Spike was a small dude. I like this CS better than the last few, which isn't saying much. Lance, LOD, and Berzerker stand out as the gems of the set. RA38-I'm loving a Batista with colored trunks. Looks good. -Cena's not bad either! Comes with a camo hat and his new shirt. Cena fans should be pleased. -Hornswoggle is what it is. Glad he's different than the others. -Jesse has cool attire. I prefer his other singlet but this one looks good too. -The Brian Kendrick kept the entrance coat! I am floored. Looks like a very solid figure and was probably a wise move on their part. -Rey looks to be the only letdown of the set. It's the torso. The Rey torso introduced in RA28, and on his CS20 figure, works so well for him. Despite the new tattoo this figure is a step backwards. RA38 is a very good set as far as repaints go. The main RA line has been doing quite well lately. The next set looks very promising based on the protos, too.

Woulja lookat that. The Bossman looks no different. Color me surprised. I forgot about that period where Bossman was a cruiserweight, which this abomination signifies. The RVD sucks the wad pretty hard too. Way to totally blow it. At least the Lance Storm looks incredible, and the Berzerker looks great too. I will buy those two and the Trish, which is really cute in a manga sort of way.
