Mattel vs. Jakks - January Collection - [40+ Pics]

Very Nice Thread man above all i like the mattels figs the most but HBK They need to improve on

Glad I could help lol...

Jericho isnt that Jakked nor that tall

jakks waist is skinner on jericho than his mattel figure and i implore you to say jakks did a better job at capturing his body.

Cool idea man!

I don't agree with all of the results however. I think you're a little biased towards Mattel. I would say it's about split from those comparison as to which is better.

Would you say those rings are better than the old WWF Hardcore playset ring? That was a epic ring.

Are you taking about the ring that came with the announce table and a slot where you could put weapons underneath the ring?

If you are, then I have no idea...Unfortunately, I was never able to find that playset ring. I'll never forget it being in the Kmart paper and yet I nor my mom could never EVER find it in a Kmart or anywhere for that matter.

But, based on all the Jakks rings I've ever bought, mainly the Stunt Action rings, the Mattel rings totally knock them out.

The Mats

The Mattel Ring mats are very, very good...nice and durable/springy. I don't think you'd ever have to worry about them bending like how the Jakks Stunt Action ring mats tended to do. The mat itself seems to be just one big spring.

The Posts

The ring posts are nice and thick, so the ropes wont cause the ring posts to bend toward the ring like how Jakks Stunt Action ring's ropes did.

The Ropes

The Ropes are like I already said, the best ropes I've ever seen....very bouncy, never get out stretched...if a figure falls onto them the figure will actually bounce back and not bend the ropes at all.

The Ring Skirts

Another question I've been asked many times is if the Mattel Rings have ring skirts that are actual real skirts? Well I wish they were, heck they even look like real skirts; but they are just stickers. They are really great highly detailed stickers too; their real sticky almost like a bumper sticker. So once you put them on DO NOT take them off because it will actually tear/rip the sticker. I did this with my first Mattel Rings I picked up and ended up returning/swapping them with new rings because I screw'd up the stickers. The plastic area that you put the stickers on are actually wavy/skirt shaped; so it adds to that effect of them looking like real cloth/skirts.

Elite Scale?

The only thing the Mattel rings lack is an area where you could store your weapons. Jakks Real Scale Ring is still better than the Mattel rings, but keep in mind that the Jakks Real Scale Rings were once a $100 product; the Mattel rings are only a $15 product...I would bet money that if Mattel were to make a Real Scale Ring or rather a "Elite Scale Ring...it would defiantly topple Jakks Real Scale Ring.

I hope I explained all that well!

I've personally never had a Mattel figure's arm fall off or anything break on a Mattel figure. The only Jakks figure to ever break on me was a Matt Hardy (arm broke off). I ALWAYS hated how throughout the years Jakks arms seemed to become very stiff. So stiff that you really couldn't move them.

Nice collection PJ!

I noticed you have a lot of Triple H's, at least Mattel made each Triple H different and not just a re-release of the same figure like "some people" would do.

I may pick-up the Royal Rumble Triple H, depending on his hair color lol. But, if Mattel came out with a DX Army attired Triple H / Shawn Michaels I'd defiantly buy it, no matter the hair color.
