Jakks were good at one point, than went downhill and got lazy. Hope this don't happen with Mattel. But when Mattel signed Savage, and Steamboat, that told ME they CARED ALOT!

well warrior in fairness man i do dig that warrior head mattel made but mattel made a giant mistake on the arm ties.... they look like they are rubber... if thats the case then jakks did better by useing actual thred for there warriors arm ties... someone mentioned they hadnt seen mattel recycle a part yet? batista,triple h and john cena all have the same exact chest arms and hands even... recycled parts is not a jakks problem..all toy companies do it in one form or another ![;)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wink.gif)

Triple H actually has his logo on his Boots.

well im glad for you man.... ill admit mattel is not really my cup of tea but folks like us can be respectful of each others interests... your excited about mattel yet are respectful of my right to enjoy like yours the cs collection i got...
again i can be big enough to admit that even if i dont care for the bodies mattel is certainly trying hard... again i am glad for those who are excited about the legends line..and if jakks can get there butts in gear with there line its all win/win for all us legends lovers out there:)

sick,nobody said anything about there boots bro...waist up they are all identical except there heads.... meaning neck to waist line they are the same parts....
and in triple h and batistas case they also have identical legs and tights mold...so in there case the heads and the boots are different and nothing else..where cena atleast has a different lower half and feet...
just thought it should be pointed out as i am suprised nobody else seemed to notice them recycling parts also.
no biggie to me as again all toy companies with mass market figure tend to do that in some form or fashion.

I don't think anyone ever said Mattel wouldn't reuse parts. Hell even Mattel said they'd have a basic set of buck parts. Mattel has quite a few Basic styled torsos and at least 13 different lower legs & boots And reuse of parts wasn't even the problem with Jakks. Their problem was even though they had the right parts they always seemed to give the guys the wrong parts. (Laced boots on Road Warriors, HBK) the only guy I've seen Mattel do that to was the Elimination Chamber McIntyre has laced boots.

Triple H actually has his logo on his Boots. If you want to be technical. Jakks cena has a shoe mold, ripped CW torso, Jakks Batista has Ripped HW torso, his own boot mold and Triple H has a SHW torso and his logo on his boots......So really Jakks used 3 different torsos for 3 guys and gave them all their own special features.

To each his own... but as a former die-hard Jakks collector, I've finally invested into Mattel. They're really doing a great job.

The main thing that bothers me with Mattel is that their figures seem very small and fragile. Ive got an Elite Randy Orton that fell of my DVD cabinet hit the tv, then the stand and then the floor and I just knew it was gonna be broke (it wasnt) but it worried me. The Jakks figures you can throw off the Empire state building, hit the ground get run over by a taxi cab and then shot and it will still be in 1 piece (as long as its not ECW1 Punk)

Anyone who thinks Jakks' figures are better than Mattel's is delusional. everyone is entitled to there own opinion but its comments like this that i take a big steamy dump on... if people like mattel better thats cool...but insults like this are delusional.... mattel is going to earn some money from me as i want the heads of the guys jakks didnt make...and yes i give credit where it is due some of the accessories are cool... but the bodies in my opion are blah... to small to thin in the legs and arms and the ball joints look weird.... jakks arms were big enough to where the shoulder ball joint didnt look huge... again mattel gets a A from me for effort...and despite some cool heads (mostly the guys jakks didnt make) and the extras like the rockers t shirts or geroges pet mine, the get a C minus for exacution... but again im not gonna call somebody who dosent agree dilusional...just different cups of tea..thats all. im glad the mattel gang are getting a cool legends line in there own right... but me im happy with my collection and cant wait for my sting to arrive ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) peace ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) Hey, I'm just saying. Jakks has produced nothing but garbage and continues to produce garbage. The Mattel figures are clearly far superior than anything Jakks has ever made. I still stand by my original statement. If you think Jakks is better than Mattel, then your only fooling yourself. Why? I have no idea, because your missing out on some really awesome figures just because you choose to remain loyal to a toy company that continues to screw us over. I just find it mind boggling.

It's sad when you think of the possibility of a Danielson figure. I'm sure the NXT stuff will be rolling out by the end of the year. Now it'll be even LONGER since he got fired and they'll have to re-sign him first (if it happens at all) and then get the go ahead to make the figure.

I would liken it to your girlfriend, one you really love and supported for roughly 7 years, breaking up with you after approximately 18 months of things "not being the same"...and then you see her 4 months later with a doctor on a yacht.
Also, this "Danielson is the best ever!" stuff saddens me. If we were back in 1998 when wrestling was awesome, Austin would have stunned that midget (who'd be playing a security guard) out of the ring in 10 seconds!

LOL! But it aint 1998! Austin got me into WRESTLIN, because I was like 4 years old watching him! But right now, Do you think Austin can go into a match, and put on a show?
