I was looking at this figure the other day and really got to thinking that this figure really looks nothing like him. It is just a plain figure with a bad head scan and the attire is plain too. He should have came with the coat at least....and taser.
What are your thoughts on this figure?

I was pleased we got a Mountie figure, but i am very dissapointed with it. They really half assed every aspect of the figure.
I just hope we get a better version down the line.

i doubt jakks will do him again down the line, so it's a shame they didn't put much effort into this one

his head is too big for his hat. Also he came with no coat or cattle shock stick. the hasbro one did.. I was not happy with it but got it anyways cuz I was a fan of him back in the day.
I bet they will do a tag team of him and his brother or him and jean

I was disappointed in the figure aswell. The Mountie is one of my all time favorite characters. I think i remember reading something before that they couldn't use the actual Mountie gear on him in action figure form for some reason. Guess the RCMP wouldn't allow it or something.

He would have been cool if they would have done him right. It looks as if they rushed him or something.

yeah i was disappointed in it alot. its not the best scan (must have been a sculpt) and we got a half-assed attire. it should have had his coat, the hat should have been on his head, and he should have come with the cattle prod. the mountie was a HUGE part of the WWF in the early 90's. he deserved a better CS figure. i still bought it because, hell it's the mountie...but its not my favorite...i think the Hasbro one looked more like him.   |

The only thing I didn't like about the figure was the lack of a Mountie coat. I had no problem with the scan as I think it looks like him.

Actually I like the scan. For a head which is not done by Real Scan Technology it is very good in my eyes. The missing coat and shockstick was more negative for me. So I fixed it up as I do with every fig I get and which I feel is not done properly.  Ordered the Mountie coat from Ralph and made a shockstick by myself. Now he´s complete  |

I think the figure looks a little off. The shirt mold Jakks used for him is just awful (Not in general, but to the specific figure) I had this feeling that if I did buy him, as soon as I did Jakks would announce a two pack Quebecers and maybe even make a new shirt mold that doesn't look tucked in (Like how his Hasbro looks)
While I'm still waiting on my Quebecers two pack (Or even a three pack with Johnny Polo), I still see The Mountie warming pegs and refuse to buy him for his overall suckiness as a figure. If one day, ten years from now, the CS line does end and we don't have the Quebecers then I'll just go back and get the Mountie somehow.
So yeah, I'll either buy him second hand ten years from now or never, so basically never.

They weren't able to make it as accurate due to the RCMP. Its the best they could do the shockstick would have been a nice accesory and would have made it better.

Was also sat thinking the other day about which figures I really like and which I dislike. Don't get me wrong, I've got them all from series 1-16 and most exclusives but some are really quite poor with the Mountie one being near the top of the list for me. Even worse is that his hat doesn't fit and kind of sits on the top of his head instead. Its bothered me for a while and as such, is hiding away at the back of my figure display.

I was upset that the figure didn't come with a coat, and that the hat and glasses didn't fit. Even if the figure was just in wrestling gear, Jakks should've painted the edges of the collar black, for the whole "Mountie" look.
Overall a very poorly done figure. Though I'm happy to see Jacques Rougeau in figure form. I hope they improve on their production and make the Quebecers or Fabulous Rougeaus 2-packs.
