Rikishi is still too big and Jim Ross just looks odd.

I like CS18, JR is wayyy to tall, and I am let down by the Austin but everything else looks good, can't wait to see Mae!

Okay, here's what you've all been waiting for, DGNR8's personal opinions of CS18!!
-Kane: Great figure, decent detail. It is an unarguably cool figure, yet leaves something to be desired.
-Steve Austin: I am personally unhappy with this figure. I hate that Jakks seems to think that Austin wore the vests with red lettering most of his career. This was a good opportunity but was given minimal effort.
-Jim Ross: Another story of an awesome proto changed for no reason and ruining the figure. Didn't J.R.'s proto have the new short pant mold? Why does Jakks want J.R. to be 8 feet tall?
-Rikishi Phatu: This could've been an amazing figure. Can the guys at Jakks not plainly see that Rikishi isn't that big? It came out WAAAAY too fat.
-Sunny: Awesomeness. Sunny looks great.
-LJN Ric Flair: Nicely done. No complaints here.
-Val Venis: Extremely simple figure, well done nonetheless. Maybe we'll see a variant with the towel off to the side?
-Honky Tonk Man: If you don't find this figure impressive, you're a communist... there I said it. Granted, we've already seen Honky Tonk Man in both the Classic and Deluxe Classic Superstars lines, but I think one more, especially this one, would make a welcome addition to my collection. I may even get one extra to put the Jumpsuit on the new CSDA of the same attire!
-King Mabel: The reason Jakks charges extra for the Classic line is because the Classic figures are supposed to be of the greatest quality... so why didn't they give Mabel his robe? The figure is good regardless.
Overall the set is very good, but it also leaves you wanting SO much more! I feel that there were too many corners cut here, and it ultimately makes this set feel somewhat disappointing. Austin's vest should have silver logos, not red, and what about accessories? Why are the accessories so dull nowadays? (Oh goody! ANOTHER Godforsaken HTM! And look, he comes with ANOTHER IC title! Now I'll have 400 of them!) Why is Rikishi bigger than Mabel?! Why is J.R. 8 feet tall?! Wheres Mabel's robe? Where are the rest of the accessories for Steve Austin & Val Venis? Why was there no attention to detail? Do you not like your job, Jeremy? I'd GLADLY trade places with you! Is this because the license is expiring? Have you decided not to try anymore? Are you at least going to lower the price of Classics? THIS is exactly why you can't get Classics at Target anymore. When you release half-assed stuff, they can't move it off the shelves because nobody wants it. Eventually, stores refuse to carry your merchandise because they can't sell it! Target is gone and Wal*Mart is on it's way out! IMPROVE ALREADY!

YES!!!! Finally a good CS Kane Austin is eh... ok. Better than the proto IMO HTM looks so awesome in the white jumpsuit, I gotta get him JR is horrid, the TTL version looks better Mabel is.... well Mabel. Looks pretty good LJN Flair looks good. An actual CS LJN Rikishi is GOD AWFUL, easily the worst of the set Sunny look awesome Val looks great, glad the didn't go with the cruiserweight torso. Where's Mae Young, I could have sworn she was in this set
Umaga, I will get him, but I wonder if he has his back tattoo. $5 says Jakks will never add his new tattoo that extends down his hands and fingers. Rey looks really good, why no Rosary tattoo? Regardless I will still get him. CM Punk has the new scan, people were bitching hardcore when the proto didn't have it. He looks good though, I will et him as well. Orton, the heavyweight torso kills it. HHH is alright, nothing about him stands out. Batista-see HHH

no leather vest on Austin ruins the figure. The Rikishi and King Mabel should SWITCH body types, Rikishi was never that fat and Mabel was never that thin. its the same torso isnt it?

CS18 moc photos are obviously an April Fools joke, don't read into it, they'll put the figures back the way they were before they're released, I'm not sweating it.

Two decent sets. Some good figures but since this is Jakks of course a lot of figures have flaws.
Kane is awesome.
Stone Cold is cool but I will probably pass. I got the SZ exclusive.
HTM looks good but I will pass. CS 14 is good enough for me.
JR is decent. I don't like that body mold though.
Rikishi is way too fat.
Val would be fine if his torso wasn't that big. Val was never that ripped. The crusierweight torso would of been just fine.
Sunny looks good.
I will pass on Mabel.
I don't collect the LJN figures so I won't be getting Flair.
PPV 17 is a crappy set other than Punk & Mysterio.
Punk looks good but I wish his tattoos were colored and his "straight edge" tattoo was larger. I will get it though as I collect every Punk figure and it has his new scan so that's a plus.
Rey Mysterio is probably the best one with that torso and scan yet. I will get it.
Umaga is decent. Will only get if it has his back tattoo though.
Overall I know I will get Kane, Punk & Mysterio. Unsure about anybody else.

I'll get SCSA and try to make my own vest. Kane I may pick up and JR I will pick up. Others I really dont want, but if I have some extra cash, I'll pick up Venis for the hell of it.
I went to No Mercy live, and to reinform me of my memories I get REPAINTS!
