Its still funny as crap I would have loved to see the post but I will say this for Jakks CS and this is from someone who grows tired of most hobbies in a few months is I never enjoyed something as their WWF figures do to its lineup depth , quality and the ability to do countless piece mods as I just dont see myself ever getting tired of it . The thing that put me over the top was their WM2 ring and the ability to create a arena , crowd and a atmosphere so once again Happy Chinese New Year and sorry I was so late to the celebration ! |

The last of the Jakks loyal. It's a shame that Hasbro, Remco, Toy Biz, etc. etc. don't make figures that are generally considered to be up to the par of quality on the Mattel line, but are still beloved. Jakks gets so much grief despite revolutionizing the Wrestling Collectibles world and paving the path, doing all the heavy lifting for Mattel to copy. I'm glad at least one of us still loves Jakks and has fun with the hobby. Sure, Jakks aren't exceptionally realistic, sure their height is all the same, sure they have huge unrealistic muscles, sure they didn't always paint the backs, and every other thing they've had leveled at them, but they still did so much good. |

Jakks Classic Superstars line was the greatest line of wrestling figures ever The names they gave us hardcore collectors is unreal Bastion Booger Andy Kaufman!! Tank Abbott Lanny Poffo Tony Atlas Zeus!! Berzerker multiple Barbarians Shockmaster and on and on Who cares if they are out of scale and flawed. We got them! Remcos, Hasbros, LJN, etc weren't in scale and perfect but they all produced some landmark figures They aren't Mattel for sure but I for one love Jakks RA style (or at least MOST of them) |

Yeah I could care less who makes them as its not really about loyalty but I do enjoy them alot as this is all fresh and new to me and the Jakks CS lineup is perfect for what I wanna create as I dislike the over articulation on all action figures and as you can see scale is no issue for me with a before and after Gene Mean  |

Jakks did a lot for the wrestling figure business, but giving Sylvan Greniers only wrestling figure TTL arms when it was supposed to be RA is something I cant forgive them for.

I didnt start collecting until I saw the WM2 ring a few years ago so can anyone explain to me all these jakks stories ? like when did they start mailing it in , did they ever listen to customer feedback and why did they say they would never make figures to scale ? thanks in advance for any answers as I really enjoy this #1derful CS lineup.
