I can't believe there are people who are actually impressed with the junk Mattel is coming out with.
These people need to understand that they are paying double the price of Jakks' *deluxe* figures, just to get *basic* articulation. and on top of that, Mattel headscans are gawd-awful and make you use your imagination whereas Jakks scans are spot on every time, NECA/Hot Toys quality.
price: Jakks > Mattel
quality: Jakks > Mattel
grade: Jakks A+, Mattel C-

Since I no longer play with my figures and solely collect them, I'd take Details and Delivery over Articulation and months and months of waiting and dissapointment any day.

We have asked jakks on several occasions why to keep using the crappy snow boots on such great figures. Take a look at the rob van dam in series 4, it looks great until you look at his hands and boots. so yea..... MATTEL > jakks |

Anyone else agree with me in not understanding why it has to be a competition over who's better? Like it or not, they are completely differnet figures, and they obviously don't want to look exactly the same as each other or even be in the same scale. I'll buy whatever I like from both sides, and I do enjoy some of both lines.

MATTEL > jakks Hey man, with all respect and I do respect your opinion, can you please explain the boots thing with rvd to me? cause i can't understand what's wrong with them. On a side note, I'd rather have to worry about the boots not looking right than to have a scan that looks nothing like the person which it represents. (e.g.: Edge, Kelly Kelly, Cena, Triple H and the list goes on...) |

I too own a reasonable amount of Mattel figures and I think that overall what Jakks is putting out isn't nearly as bad, it's even better. |

If it wasn't for that next to last sentence, I'd say, "You look to be a bit lost, stranga. You musta be look'n for the Mattels page, it'sa one thread up. U Can't miss it." In short, go bother Mattels' WWE thread page. That first short paragraph clearly points out that you sir don't belong here. Since you didn't leave it at that though, hope to hear from you again, shortly. thank you internet security  Happy to be of service. |

thank you internet security Happy to be of service. Glad you are happy to settle for mediocrity, shipping delays just to change some packageing and highly inaccurate figures. |

DI figures are 10.99 same as the Basics. I collect both Jakks and Mattel both have flaws but I would rather have a figure that looks slightly off then a bobble head. I don't see why Jakks made the bigger heads the RA heads were perfect size. I will give Jakks credit there tattoos have came a long way the new RSC Jeff Hardy is amazing. |

I have Mattels too, only I got tired of getting ripped off. Head scan is everything man. I'd rather have the perfect head on a stick lol than a great body with a head that looks nothing like real life. anyway, that's me. Hope you're not mad at me, I'm not trying to bash Mattel, just trying to point out why I think Jakks is great.  |

Oh don't get me wrong, I will still buy it because I collect the Knockouts as I actually like them in deluxe style, that and the fact it would be difficult to customise them into RA style as divas aren't as cheap as normal RA to get as parts |

When was the last time Jakks actually released a new series into retail? They no longer even have shelve space at both my Walmarts and Target. Only Kmart still carries them and its been full since day one.

Only Kmart still carries them and its been full since day one. Here in the UK we have had all 5 deluxe impact series, the RA styled set and cross the line 1 and 2. In fact the only line we havent had was genesis with belts and cross the line 3 |
