Just a way for Jakks to get more money out of kids. IMO they look like crap, and are a waste of time to make. Oddly enough this was my exact thought on Micro Aggression and Build N Brawl...but people buy those by the boatloads, apparently. It's a new line...Jakks has 2 years to get as much money out of this license as they can, so they're going to. It makes perfect business sense to try to get into a lot of different markets with the same license. I see the WWE license as nothing different than the Marvel or DC license, both of which have very similar style figures, statues, etc coming out. You have a lucrative license, make money off of it. While I don't really buy anything other than CS and DA anymore, I still respect them going out there and trying new things. People who say they need to stick more to RA need to realize that we, as collectors and as posters on this forum, are a niche market, and really don't matter too incredibly much in the grand scheme of things. Be thankful they cater to us as much as they do, and adopt a live and let live mindset with ventures you don't particularly like or want.

I dont really see it as a way to get more money from us, they are just offering new things that we havent seen yet. I think they look pretty neat.

I'm not going to buy them but I think they look cool.
I feel like Jakks is making these to appeal to women more.

Vinyl Aggression as a seperate line has been scrapped.
They are going to incorporate them into the Unmatched Fury line. So probabyl do one Vinyl for every UF series (meaning 3 regular UF's and a Vinyl?).
Perosnally, i love that kinda caricature design and style. I cant wait for them.
Slammsters (the "egg head" things") im not too bothered about. but i can see why some people would like them. they're unique to wrestling fans, and some look cool (the logo ones, for example).
