Okay, I finally got my big want of Kevin Nash at, you guessed it, K-mart. I'm not saying he's a bad figure, he's pretty awesome, but he could never stand up to the staggering amount of hype surrounding his release or the once $150+ price tag.
Once I had him open I did what I always do with variants and grabbed my Diesel and sat down and looked at the two side by side. Here's my take:
Diesel, while having an okay likeness (it's a good looking sculpt that just doesn't really look spot on), has a better hairpiece and I think I'm digging the colors better. The Winged Eagle has not been very easy to get in the past, only being in the under-distributed Defining Moments line, and the internet-only Legends line, so it's a nice addition.
Kevin Nash, while having a much closer likeness, has weird hair that never sits on the shoulders properly. The all-red attire is eye catching, but not as balanced looking if that makes sense (?). The nWo belt is a must have.
So both figures are awesome, neither one are perfect but nothing ever is, but Diesel gets my vote. What about you guys?

Honestly i like both the same but if i saw both at stores and had to only choose one, I'd take Nash only because the nwo belt might never be released with another figure.

Nash is severely overrated. No belt woulda been no sale for me.

Torso/upper body for both is too thin. But Nash has the better face so he gets the edge in better figure

I'm going only by the pics I've seen online and by my own memories of wrestling. I voted for Nash. I started watching wrestling in 1998, so by then Diesel was long gone and Kevin Nash was a big name in WCW. The Wolfpac was huge, so he was definitely a standout. Figure-wise, Diesel is nice, no doubt about it. But something about Nash just pops more, if that makes sense. The nWo title is a nice touch (unique - as mentioned, the old WWF Winged Eagle title has been available before and will probably come with more figures in the future). We probably won't see any more figures with the spraypainted WCW title, unless for some reason Mattel gets the rights to Hogan figures. So, yes...based on what I've seen of the two figures, as well as going by my personal memories of wrestling, I voted for Nash.

this was tough for me,but having both in hand...i go with Nash.
Diesel is nice,and i like the outfit,but something seems off about the head. i think maybe it's the hair. the hair looks more like when Jacobs played the role for a few months than any way Nash ever had it.
Nash is just all around awesome. hair and headscan are great, and the outfit looks nice.

I like and have both. If I had to choose it would be Diesel for me probably because I just like that persona better.

While I wanted a Diesel figure way more than a Kevin Nash, I had to go with Nash. I hate the way the torso is painted and doesnt match the rest of the figure, Also the singlet is a little too white, should have been more silver/grey. I've decided to display Diesel with the vest on because he looks too skinny with out it.

That's tough, I like them both pretty equally. I owned them both, but sold my Nash when the getting was good. I think I like the NWO attire better than the Diesel attire that they did but I like the Diesel scan, I know it isn't perfect, more than I like the Nash scan. Primarily, I don't like the hair that much on the Nash, but I do understand it was probably difficult to get right on a budget.
They are both must have figures though so I say both. I'm a big Nash fan in general but I loved his run as Diesel the most. So that figure means more to me to have than the Nash. Unbiasedly though I think they are pretty equal.

I only have Nash, but if I could only choose one I would stick with Nash. Not so much because I think it is a better figure, but rather because he was more I iconic as Nash in WCW/nWo than he was as Deisel IMHO.
I still want to get my hands on a Diesel figure when the opportunity presents itself.

Apologies to the person who had already done this thread, I must have overlooked it. Anyway, thanks for the input. I definitely agree that nWo Nash will always be more iconic and important to me personally, but both are really cool. I am glad to have these figures and to have only paid retail for them.

I go with Diesel as the better figure. They both look good, but The Nash figure just looks off somehow. I also like the inclusion of the "Winged Eagle" belt in the Diesel figure. It's true that the 'NWO" belt may not be released w/ another figure, but only a few people ever actually wore that belt anyway. Besides, w/a good paint brush & a steady hand, you can turn a World Heavyweight Championship belt into an "NWO" belt. Side by side on the shelf, if I could only get 1, it would be Diesel. Big Daddy Cool all the way.

Like what was already said i tyhink both Diesel & Nash are to thin should be a bit bulkier. Also think their height should b a touch taller put them face to face with an elite undertaker or Kane & they r same size wen in reality Kev's taller than Mark. Other than that both r good!

Outsiders Nash has got to take the cake but Diesel is a sick figure as well.
