To everyone out there who has seen "Look-A-Likes" Volume 1, get ready for the second edition! Ok, in the very first edition I rated two figure: DA 9 Jimmy Wang Yang and ECW 3 Stevie Richards. The way this works is I show you an action photo of what the Jakks action figure is based off. Then, I show you a MOC image of the figure. Next, I rate each figure according to accuracy to the reference photo. I have made a few changes with my rating system. Now, I will rate areas of: scan, torso, other body parts, detail, accessory(s), and overall accuracy. Each section will be rated out of 10 points. I hope you all enjoy this new and improved Look-A-Likes! Sabu had made a come-back to join WWE in the new ECW. However, unfortunately he was later released. In the time spent in WWE, he has executed many high-risk daredevil moves and has recieved more bumbs and bruises:  This Classic Superstars 3-pack includes a vintage Sabu. Since his attire has not changed much, this figure could also be used as a modern Sabu figure as well. The figure includes vibrant orange pants, along with his many painted-on scars. This is a pretty solid Sabu figure, along with a wide variety of accessories!:  (far-left for those who may not be familiar)  Scan-9 Torso-9 Other Body Parts-8.5 Detail-8 Accessories(barbed-wire bat, trash can w/lid, head-dress, silver chair)- 10 Overall-8.9 There have only been a few WWE superstars to wear masks: Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Hurricane, and well, Kane... Only a few years ago Kane was forced to remove his mask. What was under there for so long was finally revealed: dark, stingy, and unappealing. Many people wanted Kane to remove the mask, but once seeing what was under, regretted thier own wish.  To commemorate this very unique moment in WWE hisory, Jakks produced an online exclusive action figure of Kane. Many people were looking forward to having this figure when it was released. For the first time Jakks included a painted version of Kane's removable mask. Well, let's get to the rating:  Scan-9.5 Torso-10 Other Body Parts-9 Detail-10 Accessories(removable painted mask, urn, black towel)-9.5 Overall-9.6 That's it for now, check back later for new editions to Look-A-Likes. If you want to reccomend a figure for me to rate just drop me a PM. I hope everyone has enjoyed this segment, and support it with positive feedback (and constructive critisism). Enjoy! |

Sabu's attire doesn't match the picture.

Sabu's attire doesn't match the picture. Sabu's attire in the picture may not be the perfect match, but his pants are golden/orange, and best fits the outfit. Thanks for noticing this, I will try to be more observant in the future. |

Why would you choose that Sabu figure when it doesn't match the Sabu pictured? The Sabu figure that is a closer match is the single packed classic figure (series 10 I think).
The Kane figure is missing elbow pads and a clump of hair on the back of his head. Also how does a mask, towel and urn warrant a 9.5 rating (presumably out of 10?). During that period Kane didn't use an urn. How can detail score 10 when it doesn't include kneepads? I'm almost certain that kane was wearing red kneepads over the top of his attire during that period. They looked like belts I think, to match the rest of his attire.

Both the Funk and Sabu from that 3-pack are in their Born To Be Wired attires from their infamous barbed wire match.
The Cactus Jack is similar to how he looked in WCW.

Pretty nice. I like it. CS Sabu would've been a better choice, but each to their own.

I'm sorry but i am not liking these Look-A-Likes threads. They have too many flaws. You need to mark more harshly. To the best of my knowledge, you havent rated a figure's overall less than 8.9 which is far too high. Also, counting all of those accessories as Sabu's is a joke. There is only that many accessories because there are 3 superstars in the pack. Sabu wouldnt have all of them in a single release (E.g. CS10 which matches the picture exactly). Also, it doesn't deserve a 9 for the scan. Its worth more like an 8. It isn't that accurate. Also, where does the Sabu get penalised for not having his rag haning off his belt? or the fact that he has moulded tights rather than his CS10 counterpart.
Also with the Kane, where does it lose marks for:
-no elbow pads
-no knee pads
-the inpainted back of the figure (you probably didn't know because you base them off a MOC pic which isn't a fair representation)
-the missing hair (on the mask and his head)
Also does the figure get penalised for being shorter than the current day Kane figs we have or you didn't know that? Also, Kane never had an urn.
Hopefully you take all of what i have said onboard because at the moment there are too many flaws in you comparisons and marking.

Constructive criticism:
These are rubbish. Stop posting them.
These are of no value at all. You seem to have minimal knowledge of wrestling history, you don't even seem to know how flawed each of these figures are, and you're just using pictures from other sources. I doubt you even own these figures, so what's the point.
This would only be worthwhile if you took your own pictures, and took time to source accurate photos for comparison (the Sabu one is a joke. Wrong attire, wrong era). AND if you actually were critical and pointed out the true flaws, of which there are many.
Stop posting these, you've probably bumped down plenty of more important threads by posting this pointless stuff.

Did'nt a Mod tell you that if your not using your own pics to only have these reviews in the one thread you started? Yeah, Chris Drury (thugsuperstar) said this in his other thread: I personally don't like the idea behind this. You're basically just comparing a real life photo of a wrestler to one of Ringside's MOC photos of figures I'm pretty sure you don't even have. It'd be better if you at least used your own loose pics. I'll let you continue to do these, but you have to keep them all in this post. |

I don't really see the point in these threads if you are not going to analyse the figures more. I mean, you completely ignored the fact that the Kane figure suffered from a lack of hair, both on the mask, and on his head, which was perhaps the main gripe of everyone on this board.
