Where have they exceeded your expectations?
They exceeded expectation in Legends Series 1 when I got a Ricky Steamboat. I think the EGs line was above and beyond anything I could have imagined.
Where is there room for improvement?
Maybe on some of the scans, and some of the accessories have been hit or miss imo.
What earned them extra credit points?
The detail on the Elite clothes/accessories. Things like Ziggler's vest, Morrison's coat, Steamboat's GI, etc.
What did they do to lose points?
The choices for Elite heads when they had better Basic scans. For example, Ziggler's Basic scan should have been used for his E5 figure. I've had to do extra buying to get the right scans on figures. Also, the clothes marking up the Elite bodies like on Steamboat and Christian.
Best head scan of the year?
OTL CM Punk
Worst head scan of the year?
E5 Jack Swagger
Best overall figure this year?
EG Y2J
Overall, I gave them an A. It is pretty crazy to look at my collection and see all the great figures we got in just a years time.

What did they do to lose points? Too many of the same parts (mostly overusing headscans)

Where have they exceeded your expectations?
Getting figures out each month.
Where is there room for improvement?
Bad paint apps, average part choice and better thought to line ups.
What earned them extra credit points?
Nothing.
What did they do to lose points?
Paint cones off to easily, and that is if it was put on right in the first place. Tired of seeing broken figures in packages.

Where have they exceeded your expectations?
Yes, when i 1st saw protos of the 1st series of figures I made my mind up not to buy them apart from Undertaker releases but once i saw in hand photos i was turned around & ordered them right away.
Where is there room for improvement?
Loos ankles on elites & accessories.
What earned them extra credit points?
Detail, its amazing the amount of detail they have put into the figures, i thought jakks were details in their prime of wwe figures but Mattel have gone that extra mile with it as they are making in some cases one off parts for people.
What did they do to lose points?
For me being in the UK the lack of legends being released in the country, i have to buy via import stores or ebay which is higher then retail.
Best head scan of the year?
Basic 2 Kane & SDCC Undertaker
Worst head scan of the year?
Elite 5 Kozlov
Best overall figure this year?
SDCC Undertaker, although it was a event ex. it has very high detail to it from top to bottm & represents the Undertaker well from that era.

I would give them an A.
Where have they exceeded your expectations?
Pretty much everywhere, I'd not bought a wrestling figure in 5 years so Mattel have been like a breath of fresh air.
Where do you think there's room for improvement?
International distribution. No official Legends releases in the UK makes collecting them expensive.
I'd also like to see a few more new body molds in both the Basic and Elite lines thrown into the mix and some more different hands sculpting as well........maybe some with superstar specific gestures?
What earned them extra credit points?
The scale and attention to detail which IMO is the best on any US made wrestling figure line.
What did they do to lose points?
Not much. A few likenesses were off and the DM Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior are missing bits of their attire but aside from the lack of an official UK retail release of the Legends I'm pretty satisfied.
Best headscan of the year?
Legends Kamala
Worst headscan of the year?
Legends 2-packs "Rowdy" Roddy Piper

Gave them an A-, Would have been an A+ had I not taken my 30+ figs off their stands and now they're all dominoed across my counter and living room floor...
Where have they exceeded your expectations? The overall quality of the figures is decent
Where is there room for improvement? Their ability to stand on their own two feet...and these things, especially DM, where fans like me are huge fans but just outside willing to spend 40 bucks...they can be kind of expensive...
What earned them extra credit points? They seem to listen to the fans really well
What did they do to lose points? Could have made just a few more figs, it would be nice to have not had to spend MONTHS looking for Goldust, and now ones like Sheamus, Rock and Warrior...
Best head scan of the year? Orton
Worst head scan of the year? Swagger/Miz tie
Best overall figure this year? Sheamus, it felt like a long wait, but the fig was worth it

A-. The first half of the year was excellent, but they lost points with me the second half by taking away stands, and not having as much of a variety of stars as they had the first half. Cena, Batista, and Rey used to be hard to find in stores when Jakks was around, and now thats all i see when i go. Enough is enough for a while.

Where have they exceeded your expectations?
Tackling the depth of the past stars in the Legends line.
Where is there room for improvement?
Big issue with loose ankles on the Elite and Legends lines. Also, there are still more unique bodies still needed. Rick Rude needed bigger, more defined arms that what his figure has, but not HHH sized. That's just one example.
What earned them extra credit points?
Signing up Randy Savage!
What did they do to lose points?
The lack of Four Horsemen members. Only one (Pillman) has been made so far. I need Blanchard and AA at the least in 2011.
Best head scan of the year?
Elite Mark Henry
Worst head scan of the year?
Elite Jack Swagger
Best overall figure this year?
Legends Vader
A is the grade, as I'm very happy with what I've gotten so far, but there is room for improvement.
