Why? Because DA figures are an improved style of figure. To most everyday people, the choice of having a more poseable wrestling figure would be the choice they go with. When Jakks began making Deluxe figures, it was to improve the overall quality of figures they make.
However there is a large base of collectors who think that by Jakks taking the step of improving the articulation, this somehow means their whole collection is negated. They refuse to buy this new style of figure, so Jakks continue now to make the old and outdated RA style and the new and improved DA style. This is the case with the current WWE line and the Classic line.
You should just be happy that Jakks has given you this option. So just buy what you like, and if you don't want a certain figure or a certain line... DON'T BUY IT! Why get so worried about there being 2 lines?
---
On a separate note, people selling their whole collections and quitting collecting because Jakks makes TOO MANY figures is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of in my life. So you only want to collect, if you think you can get one of everything? It's the same as the bitching about too many series released, and too many figures in each series... And because you can't afford all the stuff Jakks make, it's a bad decision by them? That's simply stupid!
Just be happy the stuff is there to buy if you want it. Just cos it's made doesn't mean you HAVE to buy it. I know I'd rather only be able to afford 5 figures, and have a hundred to choose from, than being only able to choose from 5 figures. It just means you have more possible purchases to choose from.
Why can't people just buy what they want and leave it at that? Don't like Johnny Rodz? Don't buy him! Don't need another Ultimate Warrior? DON'T BUY HIM! Don't like CSDA or CSRA? DON'T BUY THEM EITHER! What if Jakks didn't make the people YOU wanted, because someone else didn't like them? That'd suck right?
If Jakks was making much less, it wouldn't guarantee that you would absolutely love everything they made. The ratio would probably be the same, but you'd be left with less choice. If they only made 5 figures instead of 100, chances are you might not like all 5. Then what? Just be glad you get so much choice.

i absolutely love CSDA's. DA's were the reason i got back into collecting and seeing them in classic form makes me happy although i can never find them in my TRU

A new CSDA set comes out once every SIX MONTHS. That's hardly a strain on Jakks' production schedule.

Im a collector of both the CS and CSDA lines.
I dont collect all CS figs, just ones I really like. There are just to many of them that have come out. If they shrunk each series to 6 or 8 it would be 100% better.
I have all the CSDAs except for Rick flair and piper series one, and Rick Rude series 3. Less in each series is great, and that they only come out a few times a year is a big deal too. I think that makes this line sought after, tho series 3 is warming shelfs here in CT now.
The deluxe line was made for deluxe collectors. It was a great idea and jakks ran with it. It works. I do like the CS line better, but there are way to many figs to collect in each series for me.

Comparing them (CS and CSDA) is not the concern. It is why have them both when they are pretty much the same and are including the same wrestlers. It's a matter of giving the customer a choice on the part of Jakks. Besides, what difference does it make to you that both lines coexist? Like I said before, you want one awesome line yet there is no evidence to suggest that if one was scrapped the other would be better. If that were the case then we should scrap all af Jakks' other lines too. I mean, why do we need an Adrenaline line, Treacherous Trios line, Ring Rage line, PPV line, or ECW line when we pretty much get all superstars in Ruthless agression at some point or another? Hell, many of the same wrestlers will have a figure from more than one line up at a time on the shelves in some cases. Even then, better figures mean higher cost and I have yet to see in any of your posts the willingness to pony up more cash for a better figure. |

As far as i'm conecened, the CS line has been FUBAR since 10.... More power to the CSDA's, where they're still fun to look forward to.... Only 5 in a set, and 2 sets a year.... The way it should be IMO.. This 10-14 wrestlers in a series is a f'n joke.... I respectfully dissagree. I say the more cs figs (RA) the better. I like larlgle sts. I realy want a comprehesive collection of years passed. Antoher thing i hate about CSDA is the price is rediculous. I mean they took da and uped the price just b/c they are classic guys. Realy crappy. |

i thought the same until i read your post.... classic deluxe is there for the retired/ succesfull people in wrestling history. + jakks doesnt want to go to da series 89. we would have 15 series of deluxe already.

I just dont think there is that much difference between them to make two different lines thats all I am saying. |

because Jakks can make more money now by making everybody from the regular CS line in DA form in the CSDA line....and we are all sheep so we'll buy them again too even though we already have them in RA form, lol

CSDA is a cool line but making it a TRU exclusive, the availability will not be that much...you will end up buying in ebay $$$$$ thats not cool!

CSDA's are better than half the CS and DA's released by Jakks.
I don't see how anyone could not like them (minus lack of availability).

I cant stick up for the fact that they sell well because only 1 damn store carries them and seems to get in like 1-2 cases per store which is on average 3 of each to go around and tru's arent exactly like a dunkin donut there isnt on every corney or in every town for that matter. I think they would hang around just as much as regular cs if they were mass produced. They are making deluxe classic even moreeee sought after and collectible then CS regular ever was.

I just dont think there is that much difference between them to make two different lines thats all I am saying. And I'm saying that if that's your mentality, then you have to apply to all of Jakks' other WWE RA based lines too. Is there any real difference between Ring Rage, Ruthless Aggression, Off The Ropes, ECW, PPV, Wrestlemania, Adrenaline, and Treacherous Trios? No? Then why do you have a problem with them doing it with Classics? At least it's two different figure types. When they start doing a Classics .5 line in the same RA style, then it becomes pointless. At least this way its not just a straight repaint or repack, it's a different type of figure. Some people only display their figures. The RA style classics are just fine, not to mention they already have a huge selections. There are others that would prefer a more articulate figure for more complex posing or to play with. Hence, Deluxe Classics. They serve different purposes. Hence, two different lines. There is enough difference to warrant them. |

I have no problem with em. A lot of people prefer the DAs so I say let them have their CSDAs
Besides, theres only been 3 series' of em. I dont think if Jakks dropped those that we would see any visible rise in the quality of CS

i happen to like RA, DA, CS, & CSDA. i collect who i like. i dont care how many figures we get of a certain superstar...if its a cool looking figure, if its a star i like, then ill buy it. for example...ultimate warrior classic figures are some of the best ones. There have been 5? so what? they all are different in different ways, and they all look good. so i will buy them all. CSDA are just an alternate when you want something different. i got all of CSDA series 3 because they all looked awesome. Yea it cost me $75 for the whole set but it was worth it. im pissed i passed on CSDA2 awhile back. and i never even saw CSDA1. but i would have bought them all. im not a completist. im an "enjoyist"

Why have CS two packs and three packs? It's just another cash stream for Jakks.

Because Jakks knows that they could capitalize on the CS line by expanding it into the DA line, its simple smart business. Make one figure one way, then remake it a different way = more money for jakks, and more figures for collectors. Plus, CS is the most detailed line Jakks has ever made.
