Classic superstars triple pack, Undertaker, Kane and Paul bearer The wrong Kane mask Paul Bearer being slightly bigger then Kane I agree. one of the BIGGEST disappointments I ever saw with the Jakks CS line of figures. Because the prototype was perfect. Another disappointment for me was most of the ROCK figures of that series. they all had wrist tape when Rock stopped wearing wrist tape in '97, the wrong body types, wrong heads....then they started to nail it near the END of the series. |

I think that having Rob Liefeld design the DA line body's was a disappointment. I was so f*cking excited to finally be able the put figures in sharpshooters, but after picking up 4 of 5 DA's I was done with collection. Those arms are embarrassing.

I just want to say that I've really enjoyed reading through this thread and it's made me appreciate Mattel more than I already did. Jakks really cheap'd out on us more times than not, mass produced crap without any quality, & treated their fans like idiots for the most part.

It seemed like half of the later Bookers made did not have his fireball tattoo on his arm. I know the one that came with Boogeyman (Red attire, King Booker) that I got did not, but an earlier one that came with (I think) Eddie Guerrero, did have the tattoo. My buddy had the white tights King Booker and it did not have the tattoo either. Little detail but it sucked to me. I have both of those Booker T figures, the one with Eddie is pretty sweet. |

I remember in early 2001 really wanting the SmackDown Real Sounds Arena for my birthday in March. It was an SD ring, a big tower that went across the ring, steel steps and a ring mat on the outside. The ring looked great in the proto, good size and the turnbuckles looks really realistic like you seen on TV, it was sweet. And I was excited about the 2 part steel steps. I remember finally getting up before school at about 6am by myself on Tuesday, March 28, 2001 and opening my set and being pretty damn disappointed. The ring was a lot smaller than the prototype and the turnbuckles looked a lot less realistic. The mat on the outside was smaller too. And there was no 2 part steel steps for the corner of the ring, instead it was a single 3 step set that clipped onto the side of the ring. I was pretty damn deflated. Obviously I didn't tell my mum because I had been asking for this thing for months & she paid good money for it. It eventually grew on me after school once I had set it up and everything but man, you Jakks. You ing crushed this 9 year old. |

Proto didn't have a turban if memory serves me right Jeremy explained that the reason for the half ass figures of that set were due to lack of time because of Chinese New Year holiday in China. |

What were the differences between the Smackdown Real Sounds arena and the Argos exclusive Smackdown arena you got? I've never been able to find pics of the latter. |

The Argos exclusive(Which I also have) was the ring, a different style of tower, steps, announce table, chair, guard rails and the SD fist stage with the ramp. No electronic sounds. Pretty cool set. |

Prototype RSC Taz  Best. Jakks. Figure. Ever. It was perfect. Released Taz:  Why oh why did they make him white and change the towel It is amazing how much people like to pick on Jakks, they would've been awesome if they didn't always do shiz like this. Looking at that now, I'm severely depressed. That is just awful compared to the proto. |

The endless amounts of cookie sheets that were put as an accessory for at least a figure each series
The last RA set as a whole was god awful, so was the last CS series
