Pretty sure i got it for my birthday that year Same here, although I got mine on Halloween Day 2004. That was the day I started collecting Jakks again after a three year layoff. I'll never forget how special it was for me to finally have a Shawn Michaels figure with removable entrance gear, even if the figure itself had plain black tights on underneath. I've still got all of the parts to my Hardcore Elimination Chamber, including the figures, but I haven't set it up in years. Here are some MIB pics of the Hardcore Elimination Chamber saved from an old eBay listing:       |

RA 11 was like the mecca at that time. I remember being ecstatic when I got Eugene, Booker, and Cena. That Batista was a relatively big seller too since he had very few figures at the time and was starting to be a huge deal. If I remember correctly Dupree was short packed. The Undertaker in that set was classic jakks shenanigans, giving us the first deadman taker with long hair...but putting him in a coat.

Ah the days when the rare figure in the set was 20 bucks and the others 15. Those were the days.

I'm amazed at the difference in quality between the Jakks and Mattel Yokozuna/Quake/Vader. I used to Exacto the elongated wrists on those things to make them look better.

Yeah, I am. Maybe I'm not privy to the enhancements in plastic molding between the years of 2003 and 2010, but I'm fairly confident that there wasn't some miracle breakthrough that allowed Mattel to make far superior figures. Jakks had a nasty habit of introducing a new series that was really promising and then spending the next few years following the law of diminishing returns.
Compare the 96-98 BCA's with the 2001-2004 BCA's
Compare the 2000-2002 Real Scan TTL's with the 2007-2010 TTL's
Compare the first year of the RA line with the last 3 years of 'em. They were embarrassing. Not one time in the history of the RA line did anyone working there think about scale.
Let's not even try to act like the DA line was worth existing outside of getting awesome ring skirts with the DA-CS's. The arms are ridiculous.
Compare Hasbros to the other toys coming out at the same time and they were fine. They were representative of cartoon characters. They didn't tout to be realistic or anything like that. The TTL/early RA figures knee/elbow pads were awesome however. As were the majority of the accessories. As was the introduction of the CS line.
So while I have over 200 Jakks figures and stuck with them to the end, I have no problem looking back and realizing how much lazy crap they released. I have no problem looking at the heavyweight torsos used on Christian and Eddie figures and rolling my eyes. I have no problem standing up an Evan Bourne next to a Kane and laughing.

I have no problem looking at the heavyweight torsos used on Christian and Eddie figures and rolling my eyes. I have no problem standing up an Evan Bourne next to a Kane and laughing. Just like hasbros were not in Scale or had the right parts. Even mattel which is good has flaws compared with, for exemple, Bandai. And yes in almost 10 years the toys developed A LOT. Make the same exercise with power rangers,Saint seiya, dragon ball or other popular toy lines. Jakks were good those days just like mattel is todas or hasbro during their time. That is way they sell and sold so much. God, I think this garbage trashing will last until 2070. Its so annoying. Let it die already. By the way, next time quote me cause im not here that often. I don't bite either. |

I don't know what garbage trashing means...
I still don't really understand what you're trying to say either. Jakks TNA line is/was embarrassing compared to Mattel's line and they're contemporaries.

So what? Figures toy co is about to make RA figures. The molds are from early 2000s. DA is from 2003. They had their time like any other line. In a few years you will look at mattel face scans and laugh. Its how these things work. Garbage trashing is that kind of trashing that reached a new low. I can also draw a picuture if you like. |

Yeah, I can see how not liking the arms on the arms on the super heavyweight Jakks figures is reaching a new low. And I don't have to wait to laugh at Mattel head scans, I've seen the work they did on Morrison. And the new Davey Boy. I'm gonna be kicking myself forever for not picking up the original Mattel Bulldog and settling on the new one. |

I love it, Jakks was great. You got a figure, accessories, and half the price of Mattel.
