BIGRingside Fest pics Randy, Kane, Khali and more!

and those are reasonable/respectable takes.

-I know Jakks was weird with their scales. My point was really showing that it's not like everyone was the same exact height. I don't like that my Bourne is as tall as Batista, but it didn't stop me from buying the figure.

- It would have, but most people would end up complaining about it anyway.

- Maybe Jakks already had their lineups planned through a few months then once they found out the contract was going away they decided to cut some people out? Truth is, no one really knows why Primo was never made. These are the only (currently active) superstars/personalities Jakks never made:

jerry lawler
michael cole
primo
sheamus
dolph ziggler
justin roberts
ranjin singh
todd grisham
abraham washington
josh matthews
tony chimmel
tyler reks
yoshi tatsu

That's pretty impressive to be honest.

- I think Jakks just made 100000000 Kane figures off the first production, or else they would have eventually changed the boots.

- Completely agree with the other points.

just adding to your statements, haha

yea thats a good point. for some reason i had it in my head they had 2 L's. don't really know why. fixed the issue though

I wouldn't say they are garbage. If anything I said the good things are all of the detail & effor they are putting in.

I'm just tired of reading all these bandwagoners jumping off Jakks because the AD38 Christian has no details on his pants and apparently the Mattel figures are so "realistic"

Guys like Dan88 have it right. He at least is admitting it's because of the last couple of months that Jakks has turned him. It's not how I feel personally but I'm not going to slam a guy like that for being honest about it.

I really like Mattel's ambition in putting out so many different characters in the first few sets. Although Jakks did the same thing. Look at RA1-3 & AD1-3...

also, can i just say that after seeing the elite cena, i decided there's no way i'm buying the inferior product that is the wm 3 pack with cena in it. THANK YOU MATTEL!

Okay, okay, okay... First off. I APOLOGIZE for one thing... implying that people do not have an opinion. Of course you do. I was directing the ending comment at certain people who are bashing Mattel just to bash them, not you, others that come on and complain about the smallest things in the world, things that Jakks has not done any better. So, I do apologize for THAT.

That being said, do NOT call me a 'homer' or band-wagon jumper or anything like that. Because, I did not wait for them to become popular and jump on when everyone else did. I waited things out and remained neutral until I saw the product. Then, when we got our first glimpse at bobsagetbrigade's protos, I was hooked. Then, I was further hooked when we saw the painted product.

I never said I hate Jakks, in fact, I love Jakks, but, IMO Mattel in 100x better. I don't think their headscans are that bad at all. And, quite honestly, I don't think things such as your reasoning behind them not making JTG's pantleg, or Morrison's pants are legit reasons. When you really think about it, Morrison doesn't wear jeans, atleast not the same jeans as Deuce, Domino, JTG, etc... And, JTG's pant leg is a key part of his attire, so, yes, its a figure that they shouldn't be recycling all parts for. I can deal with reusing parts as long as it doesn't effect their attire. But, really, I just feel like even though I don't mind doing it, we shouldn't have to do fix-ups just to have correct figures. I mean, half Jakks' torso choices are just wayyy too big... And, they sometimes don't fully paint figures, things like that... They also never gave us a Morrison with back designs.

I'm not just talking about these last few months, I actually understand their slacking, it's the end of the line, they have more important things to worry about, I'm not really taking that too personally, but some things they've given us have just been annoying. Punk, Jericho, Bourne, Taker, Edge, etc. are all the same height, things like that. You can argue that's not a big deal to you and that's fine, but that, IMO, makes for a lack of detail.

And, Elites are only going to cost a dollar or two more than DAs, so around $15, so I could argue about them as well. I won't because I really don't care as I'll likely stick with the Basics.

Basically, don't call me a band wagon jumper. I am probably one of the few people on this site that doesn't let others influence their decisions. So, that's that. Sorry for being unclear about the 'opinion' deal..

The elite figures are going to be $14.99. DA's go for $11.89 at TRU. For only about $3 more...you get a superior figure with character specific accessories. UT also comes with his coat...not just a hat. Embrace change. Oh...and this is good change, not the type that moron from Chicago promised us last year.

Exactly. If part of your rebuttals are "the figures are needlessly detailed - Jakks would probably have done that if they had kept the contract" then you DEFINITELY have no room to call someone out as a "homer" when you yourself come off as a huge Jakks loyalist/apologist.

If you don't like Mattel for their sculpts or builds, fine. But to complain about the figures having details that make them more accurate? Jakks didn't NEED to make a new leg for one figure? Neither did Mattel and, yet, here we are.
