Goldberg's scan may be the worst in RA history, as much as I don't want to say it, I'll probably end up sticking with my RA 4 one, sucks, he was one of the ones I wanted the most. Needs a screaming scan and tan skin EDIT: Ya know, after looking at some pictures he also needs the Batista torso and the shortest boot mold, those Rocky boots ruin figures
The other one I really wanted, the Giant, should be OK as long as he has a singlet underneath those clothes (WTF?), otherwise I'll just swap the head onto a normal Big Show body
Bossman looks OK, I'll get him as long as he doesn't get worse

After waiting this long, you'd think it would be better than this... I was SO looking forward to Bossman's Attitude-Era attire, and have to agree with the majority here on WF; it's pretty disappointing. Looks like I'll get Haku and that's it.

I didn't expect much in the Goldberg, Briscos, and Hardy since none of them were to unique and Hardy is an LJN. Bastian Booger and Haku are perfect. Then we have The Giant (WCW Version) which should be in a one armed singlet but instead is put in a WWF attire similar to his BCA 9 attire. Next is Jesse Ventura (Announcer) which doesn't look much like I thought he would look like. I thought it would look more like this: Then Big Bossman (Attitude Era) looks ok but should have had a sculpted bullet proof vest similar to the TTL. Also what happened to Brutus Beefcake?

I was really looking forward to the Goldberg figure for my MOC collection, but what an odd choice for the head scan. At this point, I'd been happy with them just re-releasing his 2004 RA figure in CS packaging, considering Jakks' recent track record. But oh well, I'll still get him, cause all I collect is CS and Goldberg's my favorite wrestler ever. This figure is really just average-maybe the final product will be different, like Trish from CS24-one can hope.... The Giant's attire is really perplexing too-not what I was expecting at all! Jesse looks good, but I wish he had a different outfit. After his earlier release, the Bossman is what I expected-at least the oversized jacket makes his head look more proportionate to his body. The others I really don't care about. I'll get Goldberg, and pass on the rest.

All i can really say is im glad im not a MOC collector at least by buying these crappy figures loose i will feel less guilty spending my money.
Goldberg - Hopefully this is a joke and they put the wrong head on! Seriously though it's pretty bad but at least i now have an excuse to make a Gillberg figure plus i have a spare older RA Goldberg head any way which will look alot better. Apart from the head this figure is okay.
Booger - Let's be honest isnt brilliant
Bossman - Oooooo the sensitive subject of the bossman quality, well just like 23 this is pretty bad i was expecting Jakks to re-use the same head it was obvious but i thought they could of at least made a decent swat jacket or even re-use the TTL Bossman mold and make it into an RA mold.
Gerry/Jack Brisco - Was expecting standard figures and knew that even Jakks couldn't mess them up and they didn't they look pretty good.
The Giant - This one looks pretty good too i guess it isnt exactly the younger WCW Giant we were all hoping for but it still looks pretty spot on for Paul Wight. I'm sure there is no way of him NOT having his singlet painted on underneath if not then a HUGE letdown but if so i guess it is a cool 2 - 1 figure.
Haku - I would say the best figure in the set, he is pretty much spot on but since i started watching wrestling from 1997 onwards the only time i remember him was his return in 2001 which would been quite funny to see in figure form with him epic 'fro. It's funny because Jakks have 2 figures and 2 heads one for Haku and one for Goldberg obviously some genius thought it would be funny to give the screaming head to Haku and the serious head to Goldberg. Crazy.
Ventura - Again not my era of wrestling so not really interested but it seems pretty spot on to me, people say it will be too short which is a downer but it seems as though Jakks actually put abit of effort into this one.
Jeff Hardy LJN - Waste of space like them all? I apologize to anyone who collects them (if people actually do) but these are awful and quite frankly a waste of space. I mean even if its a repaint of a figure like a Blue Corporate Ken Shamrock or a Green Singlet Mr. Perfect they will still be better and more well worth getting than any of the LJN's they are just taking up 1 space per series for no reason apart from stopping new and better classics to be made.

Next is Jesse Ventura (Announcer) which doesn't look much like I thought he would look like. I thought it would look more like this: That's funny. You and I have very different taste in both the wrestling we like and wrestling figures we want, but that's exactly the Ventura look I wanted. I think that's the first time we've ever agreed .

Im glad we finally get a look at them... jessie is cool but since i have the other one ill pass on him a just custome a alternate commentator body for mine that i can switch back and fourth with... the giant im confused on as i dont recall him wearing that get up until his first few appearences in wwf as big nasty paul wight.. but i have a spare khali chest ready incase i need to fix up to look like he did in his early wcw days...
Haku i like very much...was hoping they would put him that gear...all and all im happy with those i mentioned.. the rest of the set i dont really need in my collection... im hoping we will still get to 28.... 26 is suppose to have dr death, mr fuji and danny davis just to name a few...hope they come out soon to as the years is quickly running away...lol

Oh, I forgot to mention that I hate the LJN's. If they can't use that space for a new CS figure then please just do a repaint of an existing CS! It'd be much better LOL!

Wow...the wait is finally over. Overall the set is just ok. I really wish Bossman would look better than that. The vest just doesn't look right. They could have atleast put the velcro in the back instead of the front. But I'll still end up getting it anyway. Brisco's look great. As does Haku. Those are also definite gets. Booger looks weird...the body is too big. But like Bossman...he'll be added to the collection. Jesse looks good. Will get him too. I'm 100% fine with my RA4 Goldberg so I'll pass on that Gillberg lookalike. And Big Show? What's up with the track suit. MIGHT pick it up for the head. Hopefully they have the singlet under the suit so we can have an accurate WCW Show. Hardy...lol. So...6 definites and 1 maybe and 2 definitely nots. Oh...and for some reason Trevor didn't post the 2nd Ventura proto Jakks uploaded. So here it is. Without his head thing.

Goldberg - NOT GETTING - The body looks good, but the headscan is awful. How often did he make that expression? Almost never is the answer. A focused stare or screaming would have been so much better.
The Giant - GETTING - Was hoping for a straight-faced/staring headscan, but its great to finally get our classic Giant. The clothes are a cool inclusion, I'm sure the singlet will be underneath, so it makes for a cool 2-in-1 figure (WWE debut/WCW)
Jesse Ventura - NOT GETTING - Before my time.
Gerry Brisco - NOT GETTING - Before my time.
Jack Brisco - NOT GETTING - Before my time.
Big Bossman - NOT GETTING - This is garbage. He needed a NEW headscan. Straight-faced maybe. This head is ridiculously big. And a sculpted DETAILED vest, not a cheap cloth one. Jakks cheaped out with Bossman AGAIN!!
Bastian Booger - NOT GETTING - Before my time.
Haku - NOT GETTING - Awesome headscan, but I'm waiting for Meng. Hoping for Faces Of Fear attire, new straight-faced headscan, with ponytail.
Jeff Hardy - NOT GETTING - LJNs are a waste of plastic, as always.
Overall I think CS25 is a pretty good set, Giant and Haku are awesome, Bossman and Goldberg are a letdown.

Nice. I haven't bought a classic in ages, but I will get Big Bossman and Goldberg from this set.

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?I'm 99% sure it's the same scan as CS21. it's just the sideburns and moustache are painted differently. thats what makes it look different

I am not too big on this set. The Bossman is good if they don't change it. Haku is a must buy for sure, as is Jesse. Goldberg looks like a intellectually- disabled Ronald McDonald with no hair. I don't know what the hell is up with "Marathon Runner" Big Show. It looks EXACTLY like Big Show when he debuted in 1999 in the WWE. As a matter of fact, it looks pretty much just like his first bone crunching figure, only with tiny hands. I assume the one strap suit is underneath, but for gods sake they could have left off the jumpsuit. If it were a giant nWo shirt, that would be a different story, but alas, it is not. Edit: I don't know why the hell Jesse is wearing a suitcoat. I might just get a loose CS21 and put a Kendrick jacket on him.

Ventura and the Briscos are looking awesome! Will definitely get those if they turn out that nicely in the end. Haku looks nice too. Not too sure about the Giant's attire, hoping there's a singlet underneath. Bossman's looking alright. I like Goldberg too, but the head looks a little weird. Overall good set and worth the wait (unless MOC images prove me wrong).

Goldberg is terrible. I mean...REALLY terrible. That scan actually looks more like Gillberg than Goldberg. What were they thinking? I'll stick with my RA 4 and Bad Blood Golderbg figures, that scan is miles better.
The only figures I want are Haku and Ventura and I'm willing to lay down $100 that the final product of Jesse won't have nearly as much detail. No way it looks like that.
