I don't like the goldberg face expression, he's suppose to look intimidating but they give him the ehh look instead, maybe that's how jakks is feeling lately about making these figures. The Giant is ok and the bossman's vest loooks like a joke, his didn't look like JTG's but I understand about costs. They could've put a bullet proof vest chest mold instead of a fabric. The best one is definately Ventura.

The funny thing to me is that the two figures that I anticipated the most have become the biggest let down for me: Goldberg and The Giant. The thing that makes Goldberg's figure stand out as horrible is the headscan. It doesn't look like Goldberg to me. I can live with the other part changes but would prefer a straight ra4 re-release. The Giant doesn't need the cloth shirt and pants. I rather just see him with a single strap singlet painted on to be honest. I might get these, I'm still not decided though.
The other thing to mention is that the figure that I said I was not going to get is actually the best figure of the set. I am talking about Jesse Ventura. I was originally expecting a bald Ventura in a black suit. I'm glad Jakks put some detail into this figure such as his headdress, shirt, pants, and boots. I might actually pick this up now.
Other than that, everything else looks pretty good.

That Boss Man is a major disappointment. The second TTL Boss Man was worlds better than that,

I'm really dissapointed in this set myself, Jakks messed up Bossman twice and there's only 3-4 good figures on this set. I can imagine how the other sets will be like, I'm pretty close to completing as I have all the 2 and 3 packs, I.Es and every series up to date with just missing a couple of 1/100s and with this set looking like this makes me not want to even continue.

Jakks met my expectations, which were for this to be a sub-par set.

that Jeff may be the worst likeness and body sculpt for any figure in the Jakks line's history, and that says something. That chest sculpt is worse than the BCA Jacqueline one with the huge tatas.
The Giant is INCREDIBLY lazy, unless he has a painted one strap singlet under that plain outfit, which I doubt. That outfit should come with an nWo shirt, at the very least.
Bossman isn't completely screwed up. Why couldn't Cryme Tyme have come with that vest, oh, a year ago?
Ventura is actually very good. As long as they don't mess that one up, I could see myself maybe buying that one.

Damn, about time they released images. I like most of these. Thought I may want to pick up most of this set with the exception of the Hardy LJN. Now I may also skip the Ventura and Wright and not sure about the Bossman yet. Love the Brisco's though. Rest of the set is nice also.

Everyone clamored for it and every single figure looks like crap, outside of Ventura.

The Ventura is the only thing making me want to get the set, as long as they keep him like that and don't make any last minute changes.

In an alternate universe, instead of putting his arm through a limo window, Goldberg apparently used his face, leaving him disfigured.

I will gladly buy that Ventura, but I can easily imagine them leaving off the boot detail, or the pants detail, or the shirt detail....or all of it.

OK....after the disaster of a set that was known as CS 24, this one looks really good to me.
The worst of the set by far, is Goldberg. He just looks bad. I can see the look they were trying to capture, but they didn't capture well at all. Kinda like the CS 19 Nikita Koloff.
The Briscoes are PERFECT old school at its best. I love these.
Haku is also PERFECT. The only thing I wish they would have done is do a straight face scan, but I am sure they did him this way for the upcoming Meng.
Jesse Ventura, LOVE IT! Perfect. I hope he does come just as pictured.
Bossman, not a fan of this gimmick at all. Figure looks OK.
Booger, not a fan of this gimmick at all. Figure looks OK.
Giant, hope the suit comes off. Knowing our luck, they will end up painting it on. Like the scan though.
Will get the complete set except for the "dog toy," Goldberg, Bossman.
Over-all, I'll give this set a pretty high score. I think it is one of the better ones by far.

They all look amazing except the Briscos. Will get them all.
Disappointed by Bastion Booger's painted on gear though. That looks cheap.
I hope Ventura comes with all his detail though!
