Anybody else agree? I remember back when Jakks had the line the RSC exclusives were "No Brainier" buys, sets like Shawn & Razor Wrestlemania 10, Heaven & Hell 2 Pack, Outsiders 2 Pack, Icon vs Legend HBK & Hulk 2 Pack , Hardy Boyz Brood, Stone Cold HOF with all the title belts (ETC) Those sets & more from Jakks Seemed like actual exclusives. Then you look at what Mattel & RSC have done... SES Punk & NWO Savage maybe 2003 Kane seemed like legit exclusives. Most of the exclusives have REALLY felt like they could/ should have been slotted into the Standard Flashback/Elite Line. Why can't we get Elite 2 Packs, obscure character's. I'm not trying to bash or hate on Mattel or RSC. I have bought all the exclusives with the exception of SCSA, Hardcore Kane & Macho King. (Which I feel the only reason MOST people bought Austin & Kane where for the belts) I just really have not been a fan of the choices, 2 Kanes & 2 Savages? REALLY? End of rant.

Ive enjoyed the exclusives myself. Most of the Jakks ones I wasnt a fan of. I passed on the WM10 set, passed on the Outsiders, passed on the Icon vs Legend, Passed on Hardy Boyz and Passed on the SCSA set since I already had all the belts. The Macho King figure is one of my favorites followed by the nWo Savage. The Hardcore Kane could certainly have been put into the regular line but Im not sure Macho King or SES Punk could have because of production cost.

I do agree with you. Lack of characters and such really make the exclusives drag. I would kill for 2Packs of epic matches. CM Punk, Rey, Austin, and Kane could have been FB.

sounds more like ur just mad that they don't do 2packs. they've said a thousand times that they would be too expensive. They made 2pack legends and allstars and no-one bought them.
i will agree on the Austin and Hardcore kane. Nobody really needed another austin in trunks. The heads ok, but the figure seems dumb when they still haven't released the awesome SCSA in jean shorts. The Kane is a good choice of exclusive (imo).......i just think they did a crappy job on the final product. They're both just glorified belts ur buying
I have RSC Punk, Austin, Cactus, Half Mask Kane, Macho King and NWO Macho.
I'm really happy w/ NWO Macho, SES Punk and Half Mask Kane. If my Macho King was the right color....i'd love that too.
but not so thrilled w/ the Austin or Cactus

I was just thinking of exclusives of the top of my head. The Single carded Goldust, & Retirement Ric Flair are some other notable ones.

I also think something we're forgetting here is that most of Jakks figures, while awesome for the time, were also very cheaply made and 85% of them used the wrong parts. Exclusives should have a little more "extra" in them honestly, I will agree with that but in no way would I say they were any worse then what Jakks did.

When we get Hart Punk is when we'll stop complaining. Right guys?

Macho King, the 1st Kane and Bret Hart are my favorites. I did pass on nWo Savage, with the reason being I just already have enough elite Savages and am going to get his elite 23. Cactus and Austin are pretty good choices and good figures with good accessories I think. This 2nd Kane one just seems to be too pricey to me! Should be 24.99 or 25.99 tops. I just wish they would have some kind of package deal where you could save a few bucks if you bought 3 of them or something.

I like all the RSC exclusives, but I agree that their Jakks ones were worlds better However Mattel is just too expensive, their costs are through the roof. Jakks was able to float under the more reasonable boat.
What if we got an awesome exclusive 2 pack, but it was Basics....like say they replicating the HBK/Razor set....but with Basic figures, a ladder, 2 belts. etc. Would that be better or worse? I know ideally most of us like Elites better, but if it meant getting affordable 2 packs, I'd take basic versions

I agree to a point. For he vast majority of things I think Mattel is head and shoulders above jakks but I do think we got a better selection of exclusives on a more consistent basis from jakks. It seems to be a budgeting thing as Mattel seems to be a little more limited in what they can choose to put money into

I've been happy with the choices so far except for Flash Rey. SCSA would have been awesome if it was in shorts but at least we got a new head scan. I'm a big fan of Kane and hope for more since it seems like he sells well since this is RSC second exclusive in so short of a time span.
I think the next one will be Dude Love or Ultimate Warrior.

I wouldn't mind the New Age Outlaws skipping the Elite Line and just getting an Elite 2Pack as a RSC Exclusive.

I always thought that the exclusives should be specialty figures like that SDCC Undertaker.. Or something that is like a Defining moments fig where it's a little too expensive at retail but collectors will be all over.
The failure of legends 2 packs were the odd choice of characters The Rockers were ok but I would have rather seen The British Bulldogs, Hart Foundation, Demolition, LOD in 2 packs than what we got- Sheik and Volkolf (we already had a Shiek), Piper (with no Hot Rod shirt) and Cowboy Bob, Bushwackers

EDIT: Demolition could have also been a 2Pack rather than sold as singles.

They should have put M$M and Undertaker from the Entrance greats line in the Legends line too.... I hate that those 2 figs are basics.

I've been wanting to buy a EG M$M and convert it to elite using an Arn Anderson Body, but I had a question about the boots can I use the M$M boots because I heard you need to use Rick Rude's boots.
