I normally do not post. But these are PATHETIC!!!!!!!!
Goldberg- Looks more like Gilberg.. What a joke of a face scan.
Bastion Booger is decent at best... His body is way to big for his small head
Big Bossman- Haha his head looks like it is from a cartoon. The Vest.. Which we will not.. Looks like it doesn't even fit
The giant- What the He## is he wearing? It looks like horrible sweatpants and a hoody. OMG
Haku- I actually like this one
Hardy- As if the LJN's havn't been bad enough.. This takes the cake
Ventura- I like this in a weird way as well...
BUT OVERALL 2/10

After CS 24, these are very nice. I like them over-all, minus the Bossman and Goldberg. It gives me hope of CS 26 turning out nicely. So, I think this is a very solid set. For sure, better than the last few.
The Briscoes, Ventura, and Haku are just amazing. Booger isn't that bad either, I just didn't like that gimmick, but still may pick him up. The Giant, I have to wait and see.

After CS 24, these are very nice. I will agree wtih you about this. CS 24 was such a wasted set. The Bulldogs needed to have been in a 2-pack and the rest we could have done without (minus Trish of course). The original line-up which included Cena & Linda would've been better IMO as add in Trish and we would have gotten 3 new faces in the CS line. But aside from the weird face of Goldberg and the track suit on the Giant, CS 25 is pretty good and has a lot of names I'm happy to see a figure released of. I just hope Jakks is able to put "THE GIANT" on his packaging.

I must admit, I thought Goldberg had been replaced will Gillberg as well.

First of all, I never understood why everybody was so desperate to see this set. I mean it's hardly the most star-studded set we've ever had in the line. Anyway, onto the gripes: 1. I honestly preferred the older RA Goldberg scan. Really, what's the point in this figure when we had RA 4? So people who missed out on that figure can get him, I suppose... 2. That is not the Haku that I think I or anybody else wanted. King Haku?! Oh, silly me, I know why: it costs Jakks less to give him plain purple tights with a little crown on them than to give him the floral design pants. Cheapskates. 3. I don't know if anybody agrees with me, but that's not the Jesse I wanted either. I was expecting him to be bald from WCW Worldwide announcing days. Never liked that stupid blonde dreadlocky hairstyle. 4. I should have known that Vince vanity would win out and that we would end up with a 1998 WWF-era Paul Wight as opposed to a WCW style version. It's blatantly Paul White in his black garbs from when he was Vince's bitch, yet I'm sure Jakks will still refer to it in the line-up lists as "WCW style". On the more positive side, I think Booger, Jeff and the Briscos came out as well as could be expected. Didn't want cloth attire on Booger anyway, it would just keep slipping off, and the last thing I wanna see is Bastion Booger's crotch . I saw enough of that in my youth on WWF Superstars and I'm still going through therapy... I'll be VERY interested to see if the Boss Man ends up coming with the bullet-proof vest, since we didn't get it with Shad due to worries about promoting violence. Consider the fact that this figure will be on shelves at Walmarts and TRUs alongside the Adrenaline sets, and I wouldn't hold out hope for it being included on the final product! I'm not bothered either way, I'm gonna be sticking with the awesome RotR TTL version, which in my opinion had a better headscan.

I will get Bossman, Goldberg and Giant.
Bossman- looks ok to me, the scans not great but it still overall ok for me. His SWAT jacket covers up any bad choice of body parts and I like it.
Goldberg- not a fan of the scan, but I like the rest of him so I could do a head swap with an older version. Hope they keep the chest hair detail in the final version.
Giant- Why did they give him those clothes? (which are sort of like what he wore in WWF 1999). If they are bringing out a WWF version of Paul in CS27 then why didn't they give him those clothes then? Scan is good. I guess once the clothes are off and he has his black attire from WCW on he will look a lot better.
*Edit- I'm thinking maybe they gave us the clothes on the Giant so we have a debute version of Paul White and once you take off the clothes you have the WCW Giant. Which means they can pull the WWF Paul White from CS27- so its like a 2 in 1 figure

In reference to ^your sig^ TPhunk^, I think Goldberg's eyes are too close together, cover one up and it starts to look like him (should still be his screaming face anyway) And I reckon we should be alright with the staining on the Giant, the second wave of RA36(?) Big Shows with cloth singlets didn't have so much as the tiniest smudge of black on the skin, I bought 2, so I reckon Jakks might have sorted that problem at last. They have definitely not fixed the problem with staining. I just got CS 24 Trish and guess what, stains on her shoulder joints. I think your just got lucky on you second Big Show. Bugger it, that sucks. I was sure they'd sorted it, loads of people were returning their RA36 Big Shows because of the black crotch stains when they were hitting the States, then when I got the two I got they should definately have had stains because of the way the legs were bent in the box, but there wasn't even a tiny hint of black anywhere. They almost definately made a change for that Big Show but maybe that was just because they got so many returns early on. It's a right pisstake if they went back to the stainey cloth since then

The cloth only stains, the arms and legs. It will not stain the torso because it is made from a different material. Its a harder plastic where the arms and legs are more a rubber material. And any dark cloth, will stain the arms and legs.
If Big Shows singlet only touched the black painted trunks and the torso, then it should be fine. Ric Flair's Best of WCW Purple knee pads even left stains on his legs.

Either way, Jakks wins, by you buying two figures of the same guy. As for me, I'm not interested, and won't be getting it.
I do agree that Goldberg's body is good, with the chest hair and everything, and think the torso works well.

Now I see why Jakks took so long releasing these protos. This is one of, if not , the worst CS set ever.
Goldberg - As everyone has said that scan is just terrible. The rest of the figure does look good though. I'll be buying this and I'll grab one of his older figures and do a head swap.
Bossman - Just another terrible figure here. He never wore a built proof vest during this gimmick. I was at least hoping for a new scan or something but this just sucks. Pass.
Big Show - Very dissapointed with this figure. It was supposed to be WCW not his WWE debut. Also using a current scan and just adding long hair isn't going to work. I hope they actually release a WCW version in the next line and use a new scan. Pass.
Haku - Again I'm very dissapointed with this. I was looking forward to a Haku with Islander/Collasal Connection attire. I guess it's ok if you want a King Haku figure. Pass.
Booger, Jack, Gerry, Jesse, Jeff - Pass on them all I'm not interested in the least bit.
Look's like I'll be saving money on this and just picking up Goldberg.

Goldberg's Scan is awful. Wish Haku had the monster of an afro.

Only ones I'm buying from this set are the Brisco brothers. I think they look great and Haku looks pretty good too.

The Booger looks good, I hope it comes with some type of food. I wonder if Haku will come with a crown.
