Mattel will sign Warrior.Sting too before their run is up. I like both equally both companies have their flaws. I wouldnt say that. I know Sting and WWE arent on ill terms but Sting might still be the one to say no everytime WWE approaches him. He's had a legendary hall of fame career without them and i bet he'd love to say I never once had to sell out/sign with WWE for anything

Ah Jakks vs. Mattel...the age old debate....
Jakks was there through my growing up years...I went nuts with the BCA era...getting my first figures of Steve Austin, Jerry Lawler, Ken Shamrock. Then to the TTL era, Booker T., RVD, The Hurricane, and so many great figures.
Then Jakks went RA, DA, Classics...my collection exploded. To those who keep saying "Rey is as tall as Undertaker" please go look at a Rey figure side by side with an Undertaker. He's not. You're all damn hypocrites anyway, you collected Jakks just like the rest of us. Why? Because they were the only company that made WWE figures.
Jakks soured alot of us collectors by being VERY cheap and VERY lazy. However if you look back at exactly how many figures they produced during their life, it's pretty impressive. I myself own about 1000 Jakks figures and I'd say I own about 1/4 of the entire Jakks line. They gave me awesome figures of wrestlers I never thought I'd own (See: The Classic line)
Now Mattel has come along...they've done a great job. They've accomplished things Jakks wasn't able to. Proper heights for most, completely detailed attires, and just a nice overall product.
The Mattel Elite line is exactly how I've always wanted my wrestling figures to be. Exact details, entrance attires, good mobility. I really commend them on bringing the best out of WWE figures.
Bottom line, Jakks feuled my collection for YEARS and will continue to, although in a smaller scale. Mattel is making me continue my collection. Not because they are better...but because now THEY are the only company making figures of the WWE wrestlers I enjoy watching every week.
