Things I don't usually care about are scale (As long as the fat guys are fat, and the giant guys are giant,) boots, re-used headscans and accessories. So for me the set is not as bad as it is for others. I was gonna jump in and say of course it's not the worst, but actually as I think about it I realise I'm less excited by any figure in this set than normal. The only actual disappointment for me (And one of the few times where scale bothers me) is Rikishi who seems to have gone from the best TTL style figure to the worst RA style one.
Having said all that, personally I don't see too much difference in quality between the best set and the worst. But that's just me.
Also, is it me, or is the voting in this poll a lot closer than you'd think?

i'm not super stoked for any of them really, but they aren't horrible. i'm a little dissapointed rikishi wasn't changed, but it's not that big of a deal to me, i'll get him anyways & it won't bother me.

IMO this isn't the best set that Jakks have produced but it also isn't the worst. I was really looking forward to Austin and Rikishi but what a disappointment they turned out to be. I'll get everyone apart from Flair and Rikishi.

The people who are saying its a great set are missing the point. Yes, its got star power. Yes, the names are known. but the figures suck ass! I've been looking forward to that Kane figure so much, and at the last minute they it up by changing the boots?! NO ONE COMPLAINED ABOUT HIS BOOTS! The major complaint about this series was that Rikishi was too big. And i guarantee he'll be fixed just in time for a 2 Cool three pack. Anyway: Kane: Wrong boots to start with. He never ever wore boots like that. ever. An urn accessory? what? he's not the undertaker. he never used an urn (especially not with that attire), Fire extinguisher totally baffles me! Jakks have a part that they've been using on all Kane figures in RA form. Its a crotch piece that makes his current figures inaccurate. Yet, it would make this figure accurate. They didnt use it. instead ,they just painted silver circles on his waist to pretend theres a belt there. meaning the leather rectangle that was at the front and centre of kanes belt, wont be there. the part of his belt that has always been there. IDIOTS! Austin: I never expected a leather vest. anyone who did is an idiot. theyre not gonna make a re-release of an IE. its common sense. but why would they make the lettering red on the vest, and not include red knee braces? thats the alliance steve austin. the red braces and jacket were a huge, huge part of him going heel! they signified that he was more rotten than ever before. and jakks screwed it up. a beer can i find hilarious! of all the good accessories they coulda put in! and his knee braces are recycled from years ago.. and they didnt fit the figures then. so now they dont go all the way up his legs, and they are busting at the sides. Honky: His entire gimmick was a guitar. Jakks know that, which is why they included a guitar in the CS14 pack. but a microphone and an IC belt?! wow, i'll buy it just for those alone! we never get microphones or IC belts with figures! If the previous honky couldnt sell, this one wont either. on its own, its a nice looking figure, but its a crappy re-release. JR: They made a nice short pair of manager legs, but they give him the old, great khali legs anyway? He looks like some kinda 10 foot tall zombie. if you think im disappointed, imagine how Jim Ross himself will feel Mabel: Sorry, i mean "King Mabel". what a crappy figure. skin tight clothes he did not wear. no cape? an attire he isnt known for? how are they expecting to sell this joke? Flair: i dont mind flair because the LJN's arent supposed to be realistic representations anyway, so. But a better pose would have been nice i guess. Rikishi: Im not gonna waste my time. Sunny: She looks like shes out of her head on drugs. Nice cloth accessories i suppose. Val Venis: the only half deent looking one from the set.. and its not even a new scan! While I'm not going to say you cannot express your opinion. You cannot take these figures to seriously. You focused way too much on all the negatives of the figures. Sure I could go through and point out at least one flaw for every CS figure, but why bother. Yeah I get pissed when the major things are obvious and could have been different, like Rikishi's body size and Mabel's lack of cloth pants. But hey at the end of the day will it really matter? Yes it will, because a guy like myself who usually buys 90% of all the figures that comes out in each line, is passing on everyone except for maybe Venis, he's not essential IMO, but the figure looks good enough that it might entice me to buy it. Judging by the vote total at the top, a great deal of consumers will most likely not be purchasing many of the figures and that will effect their profit. There really is no big names here outside of Austin and Kane, oh, and the LJN Ric Flair that nobody gives a crapabout. Other than that, it's really void of any big names. I think the only reason this set is appealing to some, is because it's full of current superstars NOT because the figures look good because they don't. This set will most likely only generate sales from people who have only been watching wrestling for about ten years.

Kane should have looked at lot more like this. Kane should have looked at lot more like this. and nothing like this... See what I'm saying, there is nothing right about the figure they made.

You guys bitch worse than my wife Well why don't you just go somewhere else? if you've nothing to say in relation to figures, then dont post in a thread about figures! I did post about figures (look on pg 1), then had to read 3 pages guys (males) crying and whining like little kids who didn`t get the color of gumball they wanted from the gumball machine! Rikishi`s too fat waaaaa Kane has the wrong boots waaaaa. Just be thankful you got a gumball at all! Sorry I don`t have anything to whine and bitch about, they`re toys for christs sake!!! I like the set for your information!

This is one of the first CS sets in a long time where I will be buying over half of the figs in it. I'll be getting SCSA, Kane, Rikishi, Mae, Sunny, JR, Mabel, and Val. I know Kane was suppose to have the other boot mold, but honestly, they have been using that boot mold on Kane for the longest time, and so I didn't think they would stop now. And the Rikishi. It' looks as though hi has his thong (the tights start going up on his thighs) and he has his belt thing and some fabric kick pads. IMO, that is a lot of detail, at least, more than I would have expected. Also, the kick pads on Rikishi look fine. They are obviously not tape. They are the fake leather material that a lot of figure clothes are made of. Sure, the torso is wrong and the head is old, but at least we're getting one. I for one, couldn't be any happier.

These is one of the worse line up of figures. They are made bad, Starring with JR being taller, Rikshi being to fat, Kane needed a new scan and Austin was a let down. Why not bring Stunning Steve Austin instead? Favorite of the series Honky Tonk Man, Sunny and Mable. I am jacked about CS19

I like the set. Only figure I do not like is Rikishi.
Jim Ross with the tall legs, when they just made better legs for guys like him....that pisses me off. But I'll still buy him. He'll likely be sitting down anyway.
HTM is awesome. I like him better than the black attire I have.
Sunny is also awesome. Very cool attire.
Mabel is kinda crappy looking.
Val looks good.
Mae is nice. Bit bland but atleast we have her!
Austin & Kane are ok. Not really into the LJN's but Flair is cool too.
