PPV 17 dissapionats me a little bit.
Punk- I love the attire but dont like the black and white tats. What I would do is swap my ECW 1 Punk arms onto this one. I'm overdue for a new CM Punk figure since the last one I got was the RTWM 23 Series 2 one in September. I'll get this Punk.
Rey- Love the attire. Great looking figure, Will get it since I like alot of the new Reys were getting.
HHH- Logo looks to small on the trunks. Hair looks to light. Will have to pass.
Batista- Pass. Just an RA 29 Batista re-release with the exception of the trunks logo looking bigger.
Orton- Pass. Just a WM 24 Series 1 re-release and a horrible figure at that. Was hoping for his new scan and the right attire and torso, Guess not though.
Umaga- ONLY if he has the back tat I MAY pick it up.
Overall a pretty meh PPV set. I'll just be getting Rey & Punk.
CS 18-
Only ones I liked were Austin & Kane. But now we get MOC's, And I might just pass on both, Heres why-
Austin, Dont like the torso choice & the rubber vest stinks. I think I'll be passing.
Kane- Legs look kinda thin, Maybe it's just the pics? I also dont like the way the headscan looks, Plus no tall kickers on him it seems. It's possible I'll pick him up but will think about it.
Austin & Kane both leave me undecided, I will probably end up passing on both.

I'll probably get most of CS 18 except Rikishi and PPV 17 doesn't interest me at all.

Only CS I'll be picking up is Kane, Sunny, and Val. I might grab Rikishi I'm not to sure yet. I'm just dissapointed he's so big.

Hmmm.
PPV17 is sort of dissapointing. I have no clue why they didn't use the new scans for Orton and HHH. I would have got HHH, but the old scan kills the figure for me. The only figure from PPV17 I'm going to be getting is CM Punk because it's in my favorite Punk attire, and they gave him the new scan!!! In my opinion, this is the best RA style Punk to date. A sure buy for me.
CS18 Austin freakin' blows compared to the proto. I'll problably just get Val Venis and JR from the set. Maybe, MAYBE Kane.
Man, I really want a HHH in updated attire, but that scan is no good at all. My hope now is that the RTWM24 Series #2 HHH will end up having the DX IE/RTWM 24 #1 HHH scan. I hope it's not just a repackage of this one.

The Austin looks weak. He should at least come with the WWF or Smoking Skull Championship Belt, and have his leather Jacket. The Scan is awful too, and he was never, ever that ripped during that period.
Rikishi could have come with a hawain Entrance Skirt, and I'm so upset about the height of that JR Figure. He's taller than Kane...
Mabel needs his Robe too.
On a plus, Val Venis looks great, although he needs a fair bit of chest hair, and Kane looks really good too, although I would have preferred the 3 Pack version on Single Carding. It's just the re-used Scan that's let it down. Honkeytonk Man is brilliant.
But on paper, this Set is a unique Set based on a much later period, which should make it a cool Set for a serious collector.

I was going to get Rikishi because of the knee pads but whatever.
Despite Kane being in the wrong time zone with the urn I'll still get it just because it looks awesome.

will pick up Punk, Kane and maybe HTM. The last 3 figs in the ppv series arent needed honestly, how many times are these same figs gonna appear in every series?

CS18 is the Worst CS series so far, no one can argue about that. The protos looked pretty bad but Jakks managed to make them all even worse! JR has the long legs!!!WTF!!! Loads of reused headscans, hardly any detail/cloth attire, loads of inaccurate parts, the whole set is absolutely abismal. I can't wait for Jakks to F Off and let Mattel have a go because it seems that Jakks will just be taking the pss out of us for the next 2 years

im a little disappointed that the austin from CS18 doesnt even have a belt. even a non-painted one would have been nice.
but still, i will be getting that
rikishi is so bad i am almost tempted not to buy it that might be one of the worse scaling jobs jakks has ever done. nevermind ross being tall. it doesnt matter in the package but rikishi was never and is not even close to being that huge. thats a big mistake on jakks part
mabel looks good. kane looks awesome. the flair is the only LJN i will buy. because its flair. venis came out good, the towel was a nice touch. im very very happy about HTM. his figure is perfect. i was hoping for a blue jumpsuit, but this one will do. that makes up for his CSDA4 figure being so plain.
ppv17 umaga, rey & punk are awesome. i like the packaging. ill pass on the rest
is that a new orton scan? punks looks to be the same as the WM24 one, just without a dark beard

im way BUMMED that austin is missing his smokin skull belt and cloth vest. GrrrrrRRRRRR. come on jakks, you could have at least done one or the other...besides that im not as TICKED as everyone else. i like this cs set, at least theres some new figs! and i will definately get the new rey and punk from the ppv set. they look GREAT.

Rikishi is probably the worst CS ever. The body looks awful and he doesnt have knee pads to go with his inaccurate boots
But the rest look good. I'll be getting Austin and Kane for sure
Can we please get a Punk w/o the taped hand mold?

Pretty much same stuff most everyone else has said. Punk looks great and I might get him. I really like the PPV carding. The Rey looks really good, but I probably won't pick it up unless it's clearence or something. Batista, Orton, & HHH could all have been better with newer scans at least.
As for the CS, I don't have an RA Austin at all, so this will probably be it for me. And I will probably get Kane as soon as I see him too. If I get the JR (which I'd like to) I'm gonna have to get an RA King to go with him. Mabel and Rikishi, despite switching weights, will probably both be in my collection too. Val and HTM both look good but I was never that much of a fan of either so they're probably nos for me.
