Hmmm . . . I wonder where the Bulldogs with light blue tights went? I'm glad I didn't hold off on the CSTT set now. These aren't bad, just not what I wanted. I like the younger heads, though.
Killer Bees rerelease was a bad idea.
I wanted Rey in red, but this one is cool, except for the tall boots. Rey was really small back then, so the CS20 torso is much too wide. This one is better for a classic Rey.
Don't care for Hunter -- I hate that type of gimmick. The figure seems fine. I know people hate the molded sleeves/rubber jacket combo, but Jakks loves to do that.
Steph -- no opinion. Looks fine to me, but I'm not a McMahon mark.
Glad to see a new scan/sculpt for Trish. I can't really tell if it's good, because of the shadow from the hat. I know her old bobble-headed scan was bad. I mean I know she has a big head, but her old RA figures are pretty ugly.
Pseudo-LJNs don't exist. At least not to me. Not even Flair's.

anyone think we might end up either getting another Bulldogs 2 pack or a Bulldogs/Albano 3 pack in the future. Surely from the response the blue protos got, they wouldnt scrap those figures

Possibly the worst CS set yet
Killer Bees re-release (probably sans masks)
Bulldogs and HHH in non wrestling attire
Trish's leatherface
Another classic Mysterio
Steph is the only decent one, but Diva collectors are few and far between (and I'm not one of them)

LOL well we knew it was coming, we just didn't know quite HOW bad it could be, when Jakks put their mind to it they can really ruin a whole set.
Bulldogs - Would be better than any of the rereleases and RA repaints but those blue ones were going to be our first and only chance for a perfect Bulldogs set and coulda been amazing figures, replacing them with these is obviously supposed to piss people off alot, and it worked. Total waste.
Giant Rey - total waste, bad figure, wtf?
HHH - NOT A NEW SCAN, looks like the IE DX one with different hair. Fuji jacket makes him look like a Sumo but at least will be good for customs. I cannot believe they made a new crotch piece for this! CS1 was so much better all round so - total waste.
Steph - Basically a rerelease, different colour paint on torso, total waste.
Trish - I don't know why so many people say this scan sucks!!! It's a PERFECT SCAN!!! Seriously, at first glance it looks weird but look close, it's amazing, at least a billion times better than the old RA one that I thought it would have. The jacket and hat make this a cool figure even though it has no place in CS and is a total waste.
Killer Bees - Wonderful figures but I have them already so that's a complete and total waste.
Kevin Arnold's Dad LJN - GREAT!!!
I'm not sure what Jakks has up their sleeve, I don't think they plan on existing much longer, at least under the Jakks name. They have just about killed off everything they built up purely out of spite to WWE and it's fans it seems. A year ago Jakks stuff was the most stocked toys in the UK by a long way, now there's just a few shops stocking JUST the RA singles, not even AD anymore, TRU and Smyths are the only stores apart from little import shops that still stock other Jakks WWE stuff and there's probably about 10 TRU and Smyths combined in the whole country. The last year of CS went straight to a clearance store chain. So since the license change/quality drop that's at least one less country Jakks can sell figures in, they should be setting the market up to stock their TNA, UFC and AG lines next year, but with their WWE stuff failing so hard it's never going to happen.

Thanks as I won't be spending a dime on anyone in this series. Looks to be the first classics series that I will pass on every figure.

Wow i thought it would be cheaper for Jakks to make the Bulldogs in the light blue attire, but these aren't bad i'll buy them and that about it for this series.

Holy crap Trish's head sculpt is the new official worst sculpt ever.
On the other side, Triple H is one of the coolest looking figs.

Surely from the response the blue protos got, they wouldnt scrap those figures I would like to think a 3-pack with Albano would be in the works. I find it hard to believe Jakks would simply scrap those attires. Or maybe we'll get a WMIII 3-pack with Tito!

I like the BullDogs T-Shirts It's not that I don't think they look good. Because they do, but I personally just don't like non-ring attired figures/non-removable entrance gear...especially when I was counting on the WMII blue attires they showed us. If I knew they were going to give us the red & blue attire I wouldn't have made them already...and would have instead picked up two HTM on clearance at TRU and made my own blue attire.

Not to sound negative but does Jakks have something in their contract that states not using cloth attires? ? I was looking forward to the Triple H but it looks lame with the rubber suit. Trish looks like the only decent fig in this lineup although her face looks a little off. This is really a crappy lineup for sure.
