Well, we all knew CS18 rikishi was a disaster from the proto pics - but seems like Jakks have really messed it up again!
1. SCSA - Proto pic looked perfect, leather vest, new scan from shopzone exclusive. INSTEAD - we get a plastic vest and that horrible screaming face again which is just sooo outdated. Im quite happy with my RA Austin custom which uses his straight face/"pissed off look" scan from the CSDA series. And good grief look at the torso!! Austin was never that heavily toned - it just makes the figure so wholy inaccurate.
2. JR - Looked to be an awesome figure. From the proto, I felt his scale would be the same as the ECW 3 Tazz. But NOPE! Jakks have to double his scale again, so we're left with the same problem alot of us had with our CS9 Paul bearers - the non wrestling talent are taller than the wrestlers themselves!
To be honest, the only figs which I would even contemplate buying would be Kane, Val or Sunny. Thats quite a shame when you come to think that there are nearly 10 figs in this series.
I truly hope CS19 is much better...but after seeing these figs - im loosing faith..

it definitely sounds an impressive line-up - but falls short a bit

I agree with you, it had a lot of potential to be a great set, but was a huge letdown, Jakks always s us over.

Not blame you about Jim Ross. Jeremy's excuse would be "Jim Ross used be 7 foot tallest" like as he say to Paul Bearer, meh!

I Agree with everything you said, The set had great potential, The protos Looked AWESOME, And then we get to the final outcome.....which i pretty damn bad! stone cold: Proto was awesome leather jacket pissed off scan yet we get a open mouthed rubber vested austin! JR: WAY TOO DAMN TALL! and Rikishi is WAY to fat! I am extremely dissapointed in jakks now.

I like CS18 TBH That Austin scan isn't old, it's only been used on one RA Austin fig, and thats the Ex. with Hart Well, OK I know JR is ed-up, but TBH I don't collect announcers, so I'm OK, however, all the hate on the Kish? Its not that bad, its still a pretty bitchin' fig

Gotta agree with you. Protos looked freakin' awesome, the final products came out as a total letdown. Very disappointing.

I wish people would stop complaining about bloody Austin, did you really expect them to re-release and exclusive? I don't think so.

I honestly think the complaining and whining about the set has gone over the top. Yes there are some flaws but it isnt as disasterous as everyone makes out. People should settle and realise the positives and decency some of it has.

It could have been awesome because Jakks has all the perfect parts but they botched it beyond belief. I hope they get it right in a 3-pack with Too Cool down the road. That's too bad. This set looked great on paper but the final product is not that great.

All the figures in this set are great.

The Rikishi fig is pretty cool and looks quite good imo. IF the real life Phatu was ever 600 pounds. It's not that the figure is bad, it's just horribly scaled.I mean it's not like they put him in a singlet, or with the 4 horsemen hand or something. And yes JR is definately too tall, but it won't be that bad when sitting behind the announce table.

People should settle and realise the positives and decency some of it has. For once I agree with kaneisdaman, this set is great and you people should stop complaining. All the figures in this set are great. People mean how the actual figures turned out, not the lineup. The figures turned out worse than any CS set before, it's a fact. I wasn't too keen on the lineup anyway but if I'd been looking forward to it as much as some people were I'd be even more gutted that they ruined them all. I still think they did it on purpose, why else would they make deliberate changes that anyone could tell were going to worsen the figures in every instance? That Kane figure was going to be so awesome, the proto had the tall kickpads which not only looked great but more importantly were going to make him taller than other figures for once, I can't believe they changed it to have the same defect that lets down every other Kane figure. They actually spent time and money on ruining CS18 which is why it's different to the few minor problems with past CS figures which were usually always down to saving money and have always been very few and far between anyway.

I dont care how bad the fig came out... I will be adding the stone cold Cs to my moc collection. Ive been wanting a single of him in the cs line for a long time now...
Val Venis is another buy for me. Kane is the biggest let down for me in this set. Rikishi would have been great, but, as we all know hes to big...

i`m still trying to figure out how Austin`s scan is outdated considering he hasn`t changed a bit!! also it`s not he gew hair or anything, I don`t get it, maybe it`s an excuse to bitch? did you really think they were going to rerelease the SZ exclusive? even if they people would bitch about another rerelease, theres just no pleasing you guys is there? this is his heel turn figure that alot of people wanted!
