Goldy looks pretty poor from the neck up.
The Giant is one mother licker of a disappointment. Just put his head on one of the RA Big Show figures without the tattoos or knee pads and you've got a much more impressive take on his WCW days.
Bossman is a little bit of a let down.
Haku is absolutely brilliant, you couldn't have asked for a better one.
Jesse is great, I think they did a very good job with him.
The Briscoes are probably the most accurate ones of the set (mainly because they were so bland in appearance).
Booger is very very good, the only thing I would have done is have the chest accessory as a sepearate rubber piece that doesn't come off. I just think it'd be better that way but put it down to personal preference.
Does anyone ever actually buy these LJN copies? Jeff is pretty hideous.
Overall it's just another CS set, this one won't be any more memorable than any of the others. Alot of the sets just seem like fill in material for stuff like CS 15 where everyone creams over it.
It's a shame that with the CS sets they're either one extreme or the other in terms of quality. Some continuity would be nice.

10 times the set that CS24 was. Although Goldberg looks like he has a big chew in. The Hardy is awul. I am not a Hardy fan to start with, I may pass on that waste of rubber.

FANTASTIC!!! Well worth the wait. HAKU LOOKS AMAZING!!! and so does VENTURA!!! Those are the two I really wanted.
Bossman is alot better than the last one but still totally sucks cos it's his crappy jobber attire.
Hopefully they'll skimp on Booger's details cos he shouldn't have grey specles on his attire, it's supposed to be dirty white with stains, still looks pretty cool.
Goldberg look SO CRAPPY LOL, I'm glad I have about 10 of his RAs cos they are SO much better than that.
Briscoes look good, nice to have new faces in the line even if they were nowhere near the top of my want list.
Hopefully Giant has his correct attire underneath, I dunno why they would give him that silly cloth jumspuit otherwise.
That LJN Hardy is SO SO SO BAD, I can't believe those things are actually getting worse LOL.
Overall though it's looking like one of the best CS sets ever, easily the best for the last year or so if they don't get messed up by release.

interesting to say the least. finally these showed up so the people can stop asking.
Based on these protos alone...since we know how Jakks LOVES to change the final products. I'm buying all (besides the disgraceful "LJN") because I'm a Classic single series completest
Goldberg - not really sure what they were going for here. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen Goldberg make that face. In fact, that head probably would have been better suited for the "WWE" Goldberg thats in series 27. Boot choice sucks, hand mold is great, torso is alright...he needs a bigger one though.
The Giant (WCW Version) - This really isn't "WCW" style...its his debut. It also looks like they just plopped long hair and a light beard onto a current Big Show scan. Not very impressed at all. He probably has the half painted singlet like RA 15 big show underneath the gear too.
Jesse Ventura (Announcer) - Amazing details (which probably means he will have plain silver pants and a plain white shirt in the final product) I love the headdress. This is a perfect second Jesse figure.
Gerry Brisco & Jack Brisco - lumped together since they are essentially the same. Scans look great, nice addition to the collection. Really nothing bad can be said
Big Bossman (Attitude Era) - Wow...they just can't get Bossman right. He's even skinnier than the last figure...and since when did he wear a bullet-proof vest? I'm pretty sure it was always SWAT gear. Just an abomination of epic proportions. I'm not surprised they just re-used the re-tooled TTL scan...but it amazes me that a figure that came out 8 years ago (His original TTL) is better than what Jakks wants to make in 2009. Hell, the Hasbro figure had a more accurate body
Bastian Booger - Decent...actually about what I expected. I would have liked the cross straps to be rubber/removeable, but obviously that is asking too much.
Haku - I'm actually surprised...but this is the gem of the set. Perfect scan, that they can use for the upcoming Meng figure as well (but Meng BETTER have a huge afro) This was the attire I actually expected. He'll probably come with the king booker/king mabel crown and nothing else.
Jeff Hardy (LJN Style) I actually threw up in my throat after seeing this, and I LIKE Jeff Hardy. They've now decided to throw out the whole "LJN" thing and just create these ridiculous cartoon characters. These should have died off a long time ago, and should all be collected in one big pile and burned.
Overall its a decent set with some flaws...but much better than CS24. I'm not expecting much in the way of accessories...in fact I'll bet we see maybe a crown with haku...a WHC belt with Goldberg & mic with Jesse...thats probably it

About damn time. Goldberg, as much as this might annoy some people, would've looked miles better with his old scan. Briscos are about as accurate as it gets. I want to see the torso choice for Bossman. And whether or not he even actually comes with the vest. Giant is total shit. I looked at it and almost thought it was a fat Raven for a minute. Haku looks good, and even though the King Haku look is more classic, I was really hoping for a 2001-era Haku. Booger...well, if they had to make it, at least it looks halfway decent. Ventura is Ventura, no two ways about it.

I'd say overall the set is average.
Haku is good, if you're into the "King Haku" gimmick.
Booger needed a nastier scan. His whole gimmick was that he was repulsive. With this scan, he just looks like a fat guy in a diaper with straps.
The Briscos are pretty good, although Jerry looks kinda like Tom Hanks to me.
Big Boss Man? Well, it's already pretty well documented here about the scan, and since I wasn't a fan of the "swat" gimmick, I can't really say much.
Jesse the announcer is pretty good, but yeah he'll be too short.
I don't remember the Giant ever wearing whatever that is he's wearing. Honestly, he looks more like Loch Ness/Giant Haystacks to me.
Goldberg, well I never liked him, so It's probably not fair to critique the figure. Odd choice for the scan though.
I don't care for the LJN style figures, so no comment.

We waited all this time, and we get THAT SHIT? Seriously?
Goldberg - terrible terrible headscan Booger - whatever Bossman - maybe and that's a small maybe Brisco Bros - eh whatever Giant - FAIL Haku - it looks fine but not wanting it LJN Hardy - umm no it looks bad Ventura - I don't care for him as a person.....much less a fig of him
So it looks like if I buy anything from this set it will be Bossman....and I never even liked him.

I just odnt get jakks sometimes. Why give The Giant a cloth suit but skimp on soo many other figures in the past. I actualy like that they did somethink diffrent with Goldberg. Ill get Haku, Goldberg, The Giant and Bossman.

Goldberg I will get.....but not immediately
Haku-shouldnt have that torso(like Tatanka and Koko B ware)but Ill still get him
Giant......will probably get him for the head.slap it on a spare DA Big Show with a spare Ralphs NWO shirt and stick him in that group
Jesse a pass at the moment.however I will get another loose CS21 Jesse and one of these do do a head swap down the road
Briscoes-excellent.
Bastion Boogers figure suits him perfectly-crapfigure for a crapwrestler with a crapgimmick
Attitude Bosman......dont really know what to make of this......
