How many of you think that Boris would make a good 1/2 case figure?
How many of you feel he is just as worthy if not more so than the likes of: Danny Davis, Johnny Rodz, Killer Kowalski (not in overall career but in noticability), and some of the other 1/2 case figures.
This is not really a suggestion, it is more to show Jakks that Boris may or may not be in demand.

He is certainly not going to sell any less than Kowalski, Putski, Davis, Johnny Rodz et al. He may even sell more since people will want to stand him next to their Volkoff figure.
So, of course he's memorable, and worthy of being signed, especially since he's from the beginning of the wrestling TV age (late 80s).
The only problem is, do Jakks really have the time to release him? They're only just about going to squeeze in all of their current signings in the next year and a half. I just don't see how there's room for any more.
I think Jakks need to stop signing and just concentrate on the quality of the final figures they put out.

I'd love to see a Bulshoviks (SP?) 2 pack. I really enjoyed watching him as a kid, he scared the hell outta me.

We don't have time to be messing about with a Bolsheviks 2-pack when we've already had two Volkoff figures, and especially since the 3-pack Volkoff was in Bolsheviks attire. Not to mention that the previous Volkoff releases have proven quite vehimently that he doesn't sell. Jakks also needs the space in CSTT if they're going to get out all of their current signings. Just a single-carded Boris will be fine, packed rare - 1 per 2 cases, as the poster said.

He would definitely be 1/2 case worthy. So I would say that Jakks should sign him. He's definitely important to the 80's wrestling scene. If they do sign him they should make him with the USSR jacket that they gave Volkoff in the CS 3-pack years ago, and maybe a Russian flag too (although that's probably asking too much). SIGN HIM JEREMY!!!

Please keep the comments - positive or other wise.
I'd like to be able to just email Jakks the link to this thread if it gets long enough.

I would LOVE to see a Boriz Zhukov figure! I think it is long overdue for the Classics line. Just make sure to make his head accurate as he had one huge globe of a head!
Also - he'd need a singlet, he was always rather husky, and give him a jacket to match the Volkoff from the 3 Pack.
Amazing figure if done right - I'd buy it for sure.

Tbh you're worse for posting 'Don't comment then.' I think there's always going to be a demand for older wrestlers from older collectors, and a 1/2 case fig isn't ging to harm anyone.

Great addition if packaged as a singles wrestler - perhaps with his old AWA outfit. He used to be a "main eventer!"
Hope to see him added to the CS lineup.

Hey Jakks, I'd buy it!
Prefferably in a Bolsheviks 2 pack. Don't care if the Volkoff was released in the 3 pack. I missed it... as did most I'm sure.

I'd prefer Ivan Koloff, Boris didn't exactly do a whole lot in the industry.

I would love to see a Boris figure. He was a top heel in the AWA, but most will remember him from his jobbing WWF days instead. Id love to see the figure made in a 1 per 2 cases ratio.

Heck yes, one per every other case is fine and better then nothing, I'd prefer one per case though.

If anyone cares to elaborate as to what you think is the appeal of Boris in the CS Line, and why he is a better fit than Rodz, Kowalski, etc., please feel free.
Also, here is a question.
Do you think there is anyway, other than the figure being poorly made, that Boris warms shelves?

I'm all for classics from the 80's when I got into WWF, I'd see him doing ok if packed 1/2 cases. Would be great to have with Volchoff, would prefer this over recent cS additions planned like Goldberg, RVD, Cena etc

I would like to see Boris in the classic line. It would be best to limit him to 1 per 2 cases though otherwise he'll warm shelves.
