What do you guys remember being the "Game Changing"/most anticipated sets from the Jakks Era.
Off the top of my head I remember:
Fully Loaded : The Rock in tights, Road Dogg, al snow with head, Kane, Billy Gunn, DX HHH
-BCA Superstars Series 9 - Big Show, Christian, Gangrel, and Bob Holly. Plus a sweet Undertaker with a cloth robe. I spent like a year trying to hunt down that christian
-TTL 3: Chyna in updated, normal gear. Jericho!!!. Cool The Rock and Austin in street clothes. up to date Test. Bossman was the only guy not really worth anything
-Rulers of the Ring 1: Dudleys, Tazz, Al Snow, and Ivory. First real scan series!
-House of Pain (first real scan series for a bunch of main eventers, first Rock and HHH in their actual gear and with pads, 1st ABA Taker, Tori, real scan X-pac)
-Double Slam 5: APA and Edge and Christian
-Rulers of the Ring 3 (until they swapped Stephanie for Malenko, it was going to be 6 totally new, mid-card guys. I still remember someone on AFR writing this elaborate story about how he found them...then the last paragraph he revealed he was trolling everyone and that's why the board needed to enforce a strict no pics, no proof rule. I remember going with my buddy like once a week to look for these, then being so pissed when KB got them before everyone else since it meant spending like an extra $3 a figure...which meant I could only get 3...instead of the 5 I wanted. I somehow made the brilliant choice of choosing Raven, Albert, and Saturn. Eddie Guerrero ended up getting fired like 2-3 weeks after and Right to Censor was over not too long after too).
-RA 1/RA 2 (first series, all new guys...except Brock who was the single most sought after figure anyways...and was the biggest thing in WWE at the time anyways)
-Adrenaline 7 - First Short hair Orton, Batista who was in incredible demand at the time, first short hair christian in tights, First high-light reel Jericho in tights he actually wore not made up Jakks ones
-Adrenaline 8 (6 first time RA people)
-RA 11 (Eugene, finally a shirtless cena in jorts with sweatbands, updated booker, first long hair deadman taker, Batista)
-PPV 7 - First RA edge in his updated attire, first ring gear deadman undertaker, awesome eddie, awesome Orton in his historic attire, first single release tights ring gear JBL, novelty attire Trish
-RA 15 (Carlito, snitsky, coach, first RA big show...and he was bald and had tattoos)
-RA 36: Kofi, Maryse, DH SMith, Big Show with Cloth Singlet, Umaga with totally new parts and updated tattoos, Mickie James
-ECW 1: I remember a lot of new scan and new molds being used for guys like Dreamer and RVD. First Sandman, CM Punk, Kevin Thorne.

-Adrenaline 35: Legacy, Evan Bourne, Hawkins and Ryder
-RA 40 (Jericho in tights, R-Truth, very solid Undertaker, very solid Edge....probably the last good series Jakks made)
In your mind what were some of the game changing/most memorable Jakks sets??
