It looks like Giant Gonzalez will be very tall because his legs are bent alot in the package.

Vince - As earlier said, looks a bit like Regal.
Gonzales - Looks worse than the proto. The head scan isnt right either, needs to be closed mouth. The painting is downright dreadful.
Powers Of Pain - Look good, cool accessories.
HBK - i dont care for LJN's
Sid - Painted elbow pad looks odd. No knee pads is a let down.
Warrior - Just another warrior figure.
X-Pac - Looks good. Nice to have a European title included.

Vince - ok, not a big fan of the head scan though
Giant Gonzales - not enough detail and that body mold is way too thick for him. He was huge but he was really thin.
Powers Of Pain - best of the set, I would have preferred the boots from the protos. I actually like the accessories. It's a nice change of pace from the bells, cookie sheets, and chairs.
X-pac - I'm glad they changed to the smaller singlet torso but the arms are still too big and the kick pads are still too tall. All they had to do was repaint the 123 Kid figure and throw the X-Pac head on and they f'd that up
Sid - very disappointing. The head scan is from a different era. it's a Sid Vicious/Justice scan on a Pysco Sid body and that doesn't work. The Rocky boots don't work either. They need a new big man boot mold. The painted on elbow pad would have been ok but this one is too long. And no knee pads??? C'mon Jakks!
Ultimate Warrior - great figure, nothing looks like to be wrong
HBK - ok, I guess. I'm not a fan of the LJN figures.
Overall, kind of a disappointing set. This combined with the horrible new CS Horseman 2-packs makes me very concerned about jakks product.

The Vince figure does not look like a young Vince. In fact, the headscan looks like Ronald Regan lol.

Vince isn't getting much respect. I think he's the best in the bunch.
I like the size of Gonzalez, but the paint job looks a little tacky now.
Sid is too short and has no knee pads.
Powers of Pain should have come with entrance gear.
I never liked X-Pac, his figure is OK, but I won't buy him
I don't care about the LJN figures anymore.
I like that era of Warrior, but a new head scan and darker hair would have been great.
All in all this is the most disappointing set to have come out in a long time. There is nothing here for the causal collector and the hardcore types will scoff at the deficiencies.

The problem with the Gonzales is that he looks very plasticy. The proto had more realism:  |

I am disappointed that the paint detail is that lacking on the Gonzales. I exected it to be less detailed than the proto, but it looks like I could have painted it. At least they made it look like the tights are pulled over his boots. Why didn't anyone ever tell him to wear his boots on the outside of his trunks.
Sid looks terrible without knee pads, but I planned on using DA kneepads to compensate for the low boots.
Vince's eyes look crazy, but it could be just a bad paint job on that specific one.
X-Pac Torso correction was very necessary.
Warlord and Barbarian are great.
HBK is LJN
And Warrior is Warrior.

The problem with the Gonzales is that he looks very plasticy. The proto had more realism: The proto was dead on IMO, i loved it. Perhaps Skribble or another great customizer can duplicate the proto, i might be forced to buy it.  Fur wouldn't be a bad idea either. Although either would look really cool. |

I'll definitely get Gonzalez sometime. His jaw is a little big, but looks excellent in my opinion, although most seem to feel differently than I do. And like the guy a few posts up said, he's alot taller than the others considering his knees are bent so he could fit in the package.
Sid looks alright. The face isn't exactly the best they could have done IMO.
Yeah, cool line up. Though The only one I really feel I need to add to my collection is Gonzalez.

I am so dissappointed by the Sid figure for all the reasons listed before my post. This is one of my most wanted figures and he wound up looking just terrible. How can Jakks screw up a figure that had so much demand?
I have a theory that they did it on purpose so we all buy the repaint of Sid that they will undoubtedly release at some point like a bunch of sheep.
I quit collecting everything except Classics awhile ago and really, I'm not sure the Classic line is even worth it anymore.
