I'll definately get Haku and Jesse. What's up with the Giant's attire? Wasn't it supposed to be WCW style which means a singlet with one strap?

I think they sculpted Gillberg by mistake. If there's any wrestler figure that SHOULD have a screaming scan, it's Goldberg.

Sweet! We're finally getting a Gillberg! Oh.....
And seriously, they couldn't have just given us a really young Giant scan and put him in a single strap get up? They have to put him in ****ty clothes that I don't associate the WCW Giant with? I'm sure he's wearing his tights under that, but that head is bullshit.

no sense in making too many comments on these, as the finished product will surely differ, but Jakks, how about giving us a big show with an accurate singlet instead of wasting time on the garbage bag like track suit this CS figure has.

Ya know, I really hope the hate for the LJN Jeff is the general consensus so I have no trouble finding it at retail. This set looks okay, I look forward to Goldberg.

I was excited to see the protos are finally available but this set is kind of a let down:
Goldberg - this is a big step down from RA 4 Goldberg from like 2004ish. It looks more like Gillberg.
Bastion Booger - looks good, no complaints as long as nothing changes.
Big Bossman - I don't like it. This is also a step down from his previous TTL figure which was amazing. Jakks has now dropped the ball of both Bossman figures which is a shame because he was one of the few remaining big names to sign. On the plus side, I think I figured out where JTG's vest from his first Adrenaline release disappeared to.
The Briscoes - they look perfect, no complaints here
The Giant - Ummm? What the hell is he wearing? The head looks alright, hopefully he's got his singlet under that black outfit.
Haku - he looks...ok I guess. Idk, I'm kinda disappointed with it. Something is off about it. Can we at least get a new crown that would actually fit people instead of reusing the BCA Lawler crown from 1998ish.
Jesse Ventura - I think this one is disappointing too. Those boots are going to make him TINY! I'll have to see the final product though before I decide to pick it up or not. Is that the same scan or is it a new one?
Jeff Hardy - oooooook. Definate pass from me. I have never bought a sad excuse for an LJN yet and don't plan on it.

Jesse, Haku and the Briscos look great, but the rest is decent at best. I absolutely hate Goldberg's head sculpt, but at least the body and limbs are an upgrade from his debut RA figure. Bastion Booger head sculpt is garbage and the painted attire isn't much better; why this was even made, let alone considered for a figure, is beyond me. The BCA era Bossman figure blows this Classic one away, as far as I'm concerned. Cloth t-shirt and pants on The Giant is a bit random, but I like the head sculpt. Jeff Hardy LJN will probably be a good seller, but I couldn't care less about these figures. Overall, it's not a very appealing set, but there are a few gems and others that could be improved drastically with a little customizing. Thanks for posting the pics. I agree ...Goldberg looks like he pooted !!

Wow. Goldberg's head sculpt is Jakked up. I hope the body is tan at least, so I can put an old head on it. And I don't know what's going on with the Giant.
I'm definitely getting the Brisco's. Haku looks great, but I'll probably hold out for Meng. I was also looking forward to announcer Ventura, but I don't like the attire choice.

Thanks Trevor. Here's some quick thoughts -
Goldberg - Looks good, but why would they use the ripped CW torso? If anyone should have the ripped SHW torso (with the huge traps) it's Goldberg. The face looks like cr@p as well.
The Giant - Face looks good, but I don't know if I need it to replace my custom on my shelf. If it has a singlet painted on under the sweats I might get it.
Jesse Ventura (Announcer) - Looks great, but it'll be way too short with the cowboy boots.
Gerry Brisco - No complaints.
Jack Brisco - no complaints.
Big Bossman (Attitude Era) - looks better than I thought it would. Head still looks like cr@p.
Bastian Booger - No desire for the figure, but I guess it looks good.
Haku - looks good, but I'd rather he had the SHW torso so he'd fit in with the Barbarian & Warlord...Now he's bigger than both.
Jeff Hardy (LJN Style) - again no desire for any of these, but I do like the cartoony look of this one.
I'll get the Brisco's, Haku, Jesse, Bossman & Goldberg...Although Goldberg will have to have his head swapped.

I personally like The Briscos, Haku & Jesse Ventura. I'm not fond of Goldberg or Bossman's head scan -- wish they would have changed that. I was disappointed with CS 23 Bossman so I was hoping they would have done something different this time around. And might I add what an awful scan for Bastian Booger. I just don't understand The Giant figure either...let's just hope he has the black singlet underneath.
Overall I was really hoping for more out of this set especially for as long as we waited for the prototype images. Jesse Ventura & Haku are the gems of this set. The Brisco's are a nice edition to the CS Line. The Giant MAY be good only for the singlet -- does anyone notice how incredibly small they made his forearms? And lastly Big Boss Man's vest just sucks if you are looking for something accurate. The LJN Jeff Hardy is self-explanatory. JAKKS just taking the cheap route out as usual.
6.5/10

I love the Ventura figure and the Briscoes were highly anticipated by me. They are awesome classic figures. I am a true classic fan and don't feel the Giant or Goldberg should even be in the set, but oh well.
The Haku is ok but it has Meng's facial expression. The Meng will look the same but with more hair.
If they have Mike Shaw's licensing, I hope they make a Norman the Lunatic figure. He is much more classic than Booger....who I am skipping by the way.
Don't care about Bossman, Goldberg, Giant, or Hardy

This set is amazing! I will be getting Bossman, Goldberg, and possibly Giant. Not the Haku I wanted though... oh well. Which Haku did you want? His Islanders pants? That's the only other attire I could think of. Or did you want his gold pajamas giant afro look he had in his last WWE run?

Goldberg, Bossman, and the Giant have to be some sort of a sick joke, honestly. Goldberg's scan looks like Gillberg. Bossman is a slap in the face to any collector. And the Giant. WTF are those clothes? He better have on the singlet underneath those oversized rags.

Does anyone like Bossman's vest? If it's released like that it'll be so inaccurate from what he really wore during the days of the Corporation. Jakks should do an entirely new sculpt...but I'm certain we all know that's not going to happen. *sigh*
