You must be a intellectually- disabled person if you think Jakks was better, I hated the thunder thighs on all of them and the steroid abused torsos and arms.

Mattel does a TON of Q&A with numerous figures sites about their other figures lines. I'm sure we'll get a monthly Q&A just like their other figure lines. It's all well & good doing it on other figure sites, but, for their wrestling product, they need to come to a wrestling figure site & talk to wrestling fans. Jeremy came here, so, why can't somebody from Mattel? Absolutely right. Plus Mattel has to snap out of the idea of Ken and DC of whatever that comic stuff is, the figures look like a cartoon about the wrestling. Mattel guys have to come to two places: 1. The forums in here. 2. Actual wrestling event, i know it is going to be their first time, but somehow they need to peel their @##es off of Will and Grace and come see a wrestling event. Good point was made about John Cena, his Mattel figure looks nothing like himself in real life, why do i know, well I met him at the gym and talked to him and actually he was posing, so no and no not anywhere close and what you see in magazines it is just a photoshopped version.

Hmmmm, I thought substance abuse and sports are twin brothers!?!? To say the opposite is like saying that bees are against honey LMAO. I mean the people who go watching football, buy magazines and go to wrestling events all voted for this. Nobody wants emaciated football players, everyone likes 22" biceps on the cover of muscle magazines and during the wrestling events ripped torsos have most respect, needless to say all of those are side effects of various substances.

I gotta say that I'm not a fan at all of the Mattel figures. The head scans are horrible on most of them. The scale and details are great but Jakks could have done that too. Jakks personally frustrated me because they had the right parts to make the figures in scale, they just very rarely used the right parts. Everyone complained about Jakks using the same parts over and over but I haven't heard that on here. It seems like everyone is kissing Mattel's ass. I've seen quite a few problems with Mattel figs that nobody else has seemingly picked up on. 1. How can Santino, Finlay, and Jack Swagger all use the same singlet mold and nobody notices? 2. How can guys who wear different style boots like Finlay and Stone Cold be given regular style boots and nobody notices? 3. The boot colors are wrong on Carlito and Primo (Carlito is missing laces & Primo just had blue wingtips, not completely blue boots.) Very well said, plus again now that Jakks did all the mistakes Mattel has no excuse to screw things up.

The first Mattel figures I found were the Basic 1 HHH and Bourne around the middle of December when they hit TRU early. I grabbed them in a heartbeat and knew right away they were amazing figures. For being new, Mattel is doing a great job. If they can improve even more, we're looking at having possibly the best product in years.

please explain how Mattels Cena is SO much more accurate/realistic? The waist is tiny, the arms are small compared to his real arms, and his body has a little more fat on it than the figure. Neither jakks or mattel are perfect so I wish people would stop saying how accurate they are when they really arent. Body fat?! Cena has less than 1% body fat in real life. I really dont think his figure needs any to be accurate. by fat I meant bulkier, cena is a power house and the mattel figure makes him look skinny with his arms and waist and such. if they beefed him up a bit i'd be in love with the figure but as it is i'd give it a B not an A++ like most are giving them.
