So the Samoa Joe from Series 1 is the same as the 2-packs Series 1 Samoa Joe.
Jeff Jarrett from Series 1 appears to be the same as the 2-packs Series 2 Jarrett.
AJ Styles from Series 2 appears to be the same as the 2-packs Series 3 AJ.
This sucks. You have to plan ahead to make sure you don't get doubles. Jakks didn't use to do this. (I regret picking up JJ now, but I knew enough to wait for the CTL Samoa Joe.)

And yet with all the figures Mattel has made so far, they don't have a single re-release. Go figure.

Jakks have always done this, and will always do it. Tbh, I don't care that much as long we get at least a few decent new releases in every set. I'm not complaining.

The only re-pack I can think of Mattel has done so far is Big Show from Series 1 being in 2-packs Series 3 with Edge. I don't have any duplicates other than that.

Yes? No? Anybody? Can people realize that Jakks getting TNA and Mattel getting WWE is a HUGE win/win for wrestling figure collectors!? Look at the figure world a year ago... Classics collectors clamoring for Sting, Savage, Owen, Steamboat, Jarrett, Scott Steiner(to match Rick), Von Erichs, etc... Mattel was able to sign Savage, Steamboat, and the Von Erichs... Jakks was now able to make Steiner, Sting, and Jarrett! They are quite similar in size(RA-Mattel; not DA), and very easy to continue collecting. So get over it and just admit both companies have great things to offer in their own right. And, just to point out a flaw in the previous statement about "MATTEL PEOPLE BEING BLIND..." While Mattel has re-released a handful of Superstars, VERY few were simply straight re-releases(which is what this thread is about Jakks doing), many were different attires; which is much needed in the world of wrestling figures.

Mattel has a much better variety, they may have a few repaints/re-releases but at least they put out a good solid selection before re-releasing figures. I just don't understand why people continue to support Jakks when they continue to screw the fans over. I thought they would fix things and improve with their TNA line, but they didn't. They still make the same garbage they've always made.

Quite funny but Mattel has attire changes unlike jakks only person that has had the same attire is either big show or john cena. Get your facts straight next time. Don't the Cena's all have different shoes as well? at least all his PPV figures have the shoes he wore at said PPV and Cena tends to wear a different pair at every one.

^ That and they at least try to mix up his scans(Frowning, smirking, etc) and wrist/armband placement.

Someone always has to say something stupid.
A Mattel fan name drops Mattel
or
Someone criticizes Jakks and a Jakks fans bring out the old "OH YEAH!1!!!!111!! Well Mattel does _____ wrong!1!!!"
And then we get 2-3 fun pages of arguing like jerks, before it's locked. Then, usually within the hour, the argument is just moved into a different thread.

lol at Mattel fans trying to act like Mattel doesn't rerelease figs. Until the Elimination Cahmber set w/ the new head sculpt, there had already been a ton of Jericho's released that have had no differance between them except for the paint job on the attire. Most of the Cena's are exactly the same to, just w/ different colored arm bands. Look at the Survivor Series and Elimination Chamber Cena figs. There literally the exact same thing.

People need to learn the difference between a RE-RELEASE and a REPAINT.

Post by cordless2016 on Aug 7, 2010 19:16:58 GMT -5
RE-RELEASE = 50 John Cena figures that have been released.
RE-PAINT = 10,000 Jericho figures that have been released w/ no new head scultps or anything else until the Elimination Chamber Jericho, which had the exact same attire as the Royal Rumble Jericho, so I'll classify those as both Re-releases and re-paints.

Who cares... sure if you have the figure you wont want to get the same one again, unless it looks different. But rereleases/repaints are good becuase not everyone can get or find the first ones.
And they are obviously gonna make more of the person most popular.

Countless HHH and others. Mattel is full of the same old, same old. Yes they use the same parts same as Jakks, but all the attires are different at least on Taker & Triple H(Not sure about Cena) which I think is what the original poster was talking about...he thought Jarrett and Joe both had the same attires in each series. I know Series 1 Big Show was a straight rereleased in the 2-Pack. I don't understand why both boards still need to be swamped with these stupid battles after 8 months now.
