Thanks for always understanding and not getting butt hurt brother or turning it into Jakks vs mattel whining debate as we collect what we like and dont take things personal , and what whatch yah gonna do when mattel les gold hulk hogan comes after you ! I wanna steal you sig ! Lol, btw you got a really cool setup with the security and crowd, That looks awesome. Gotta love jakks classic stuff, the nostalgia level is through the roof. Thanks and I normally get sick of hobbies quick but I just cant ever see that happening with Jakks CS because of that incredible era of wrestling ! So take care and always keep Mattel Les Gold rockin and rolling brother !

As far as classic superstars go... even if they never made another figure after Elite 40, Mattel's quality > Jakks' quantity. Its not even debatable.

There is no true point to trying to convince someone why their brand is superior. I think its good to be able to justify why you like sonething, but you NEVER have to.
What Mattel and Jakks do are two completely different things. As a consumer we have choice over what we buy. I don't have to convince anyone why I still buy Jakks figures and why I'm excited for FTC's Ruthless style figure line coming up. I like them. I really lobe Mattel too, as I have hundreds of them. I even have duplicated attires where both companies did their take on the same wrestler. I like seeing stuff like that. I like Mattel because they aren't a Jakks clone much in the same way as I like Jakks for not being a Hasbro clone, and so on.
Part of me always wonders what would've happened had Jalks continued the license. Surely RA would've been retired by now in favor of a new line. But I do like to think from time to time on how Jakks distinctive headscans would havw turned out for new stars like Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and others.
All in all, Jakks still holds a place in my heart and I think people on here tend to highly exaggerate their flaws.

Imagine how bad it would look for WWE to go back to that poor quality of figure now. There was that awesome thread about how Jakks current roster would look.

why some immature members have to always make it Jakks vs Mattel debate maybe trying desperately to justify their collection Yes, that's why they do it. Apparently they also have no concept of irony.

I really hope not.
Jakks has a special place in my heart for childhood nostalgia, but I don't play with these things anymore. Mattel are the highest quality figures WWE has ever produced, and I hope it stays that way.

Loved 'em as a kid, but wouldn't want them back over the good stuff we get now.

All fair opinions as I know most people always want whatever the newest thing is like latest tech ect thats not even much different but its the latest gotta be better thinking ? But alls Im saying is for a Classic 80s WWF collector who dislikes lightweight figures and creepy articulation regardless of maker thats not even a option as nothing will ever equal Jakks CS for me on roster depth and quality alone and can or will mattel do this for us Classic 80s WWF fans ? And I back my point with photographic proof as always . They have a swiss cheese classic lineup at best and hopefully in another ten or twenty years they will have have half of the Jakks CS depth but I doubt it from what they did already and only then can we have a legitimate debate and dont classic fans get disappointed about this I mean they had DBS and Hitman all these years and they cant even do one Dynamite Kid or a Anvil ? Maybe thats just me but come on throw us a bone and not a BAP program and just to be clear I have no agenda and I could care less what others collect but I find it silly how people can rip on the Jakks CS line if your a true classic 80s WWF fan ? Tc and always collect what you enjoy guys ! ...that's fair enough - collect what you like, after all. But at the same time, you HAVE to realise you are in the vast minority when it comes to preferring the quality of Jakks figures over Mattels (...especially when you're posting on the Mattel board). As long as you're happy with your collection though, that's really all that matters. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree over Mattel's "swiss cheese classic lineup" and the DM Hogan (aka Best. Hogan. Ever ) - I'm more than happy about what/who they're making... my main interest is the late 80's/early 90's onwards and they're doing a great job of releasing most of the guys I want. For the classic roster, ideally I'd love all the figures that Hasbro did in Mattel form - with a few extra. And hopefully, in time, they might get there - or very close...

Hi Guys , I apologize for going a bit of topic but better to address things now before it gets out of hand like 6 months ago as I just noticed the person above me ^^^^^ that I had to block a year ago and havent responded to in six months still hasnt given up trying to engage me , jeez I wish my Girlfriend gave me this much attention So Members , Mods and Administration I want it to be clearly known I have no affiliation with stevenhulk or his future actions when he quotes me in mattel threads ect trying to turn everything into Jakks vs mattel wars as I never respond because hes blocked (cant believe I had to block someone ? ) Nothing personal man but you do kinda take things way to serious after all its just toys and just a suggestion from a fellow collector people will always have opinions some different some the same and some that get you angry so if they bother you just dont read them or if you feel you need respond or police every so called mis justice thats just an opinion maybe theres some truth in the critiques ? IMO you really need to rethink your reasoning like where you said long ago and over and over this is a mattel thread so expect to be attacked ? You sound like a caveman no offense to any caveman members but thats just counter productive as all forums are opened to all members even if their opinion respectively differ and thats why I generally respond with photos to hopefully avoid unneeded arguments . Then youll say well you hate mattel and love Jakks stay in the Jakks forum in prior threads ? Half my figures have parts from mattel which I purchase from RS or Mattel ? Then when I give my critique its only on the head-sculpt and accessories as I dislike the over articulation in all figures .... If your wondering why I Blocked you remember when I tried to be the bigger man as you called it months ago and then you responded with a semi personal rant to me a page long and then for next 8 hours you kept doing multiple edits till there was only a few sentences left because you were probably worried about what you posted thats why . Back on topic what if The WWF sorry guys it will always be that to me let Jakks complete the handful of the never released CS figures ? MM , Herc , Steamboat , Liz , Johhny V and AAA the Adorable one that would be cool ! But with my weird collection the only ones that could crack my current SNME lineup would be Johnny V but who would you want ?

Saint, you have done an awesome job. I love the announcers ya got. The classic little WWF logo. Love the little details. LOVE the idea of having the fans having pictures of the wrestlers on their signs. GREAT little details like that bring your stuff to life.
I will totally copying you one day. I am too busy with other things now though.

saintpatrick33 - I hope you read this, as I really wasn't "trying to engage" you in my reply - I was actually responding in the same way I'd respond to anyone, in the hope that we could move forward from our previous feud... no need to be offended. IMO you really need to rethink your reasoning like where you said long ago and over and over this is a mattel thread so expect to be attacked ?What I meant is that, if you only/mainly post in the Mattel thread ( full of Mattel fans/collectors) to criticise their figures/product or to say how much you prefer Jakks figures, then (obviously) you can expect a a bit of a backlash... the same goes for anyone. you responded with a semi personal rant to me a page long and then for next 8 hours you kept doing multiple edits till there was only a few sentences left because you were probably worried about what you posted thats why...well, no - the main points were still there - I think I edited it twice, as I didn't want it/our beef to take-over the whole thread. I'll say this though: I'm sorry if it was a bit harsh or personal, but I was genuinely PO'd... as I said before, hopefully we can just agree to disagree on certain things and move on - they're only toys, after all(!). Anyway, I'm not holding a grudge against you (or anyone one here)... life's too short. I can see you're passionate about your figures/collection, and that's cool. Let's just wipe the slate clean and end this silliness.
