The ONLY reason Nikolai and Sheik's CS5 figures shelfwarmed so massively is because they were shipped out in much greater numbers (at least in the UK they were) Our Woolworths stores recieved multiple cases of just Volkoff and Sheik, my local Woolworths had 78 CS figures in stock and they were all Volkoff and Sheik. I don't know why that happenned, maybe they accidentally made loads of them or something but I'm just mentioning that because it doesn't mean Volkoff didn't sell, considering how many some shops had and how many show up in ebay lots I'd say Volkoff and Sheik are 2 of the best selling figures in CS so far.
I do reckon 1/2 cases would be fine for Zhukov though, I've never had too much trouble getting the 1/2 case figures so I'd be happy with that. He would really need the Bolsheviks entrance attire though (I already have a spare set anyway but for him to sell well he would need it both to look really impressive and also to match the Volkoff that many people have from the 3 pack) I don't know why you topped this post but I'm hoping you know something we don't. I want a Boris Zhukov CS figure SO MUCH, he's definately in my top 10 wants, he's one of the last few missing from my collection.

Hey Naturally Bad, as others have mentioned, did you top this post because there is a better chance of him being signed now?
Keep us posted.
Thanks again for your efforts in helping us complete the line.

we need the bolsheviks definately. a two pack with a new volkoff head scan would be awesome. Zhukov deserves a figure even over rodz, bass, and the rest. Complete with flags and ability to lose to the hart foundation real fast.

Thanks again for your efforts in helping us complete the line. This is my personal project indeed. I need everyones honest opinions. 2 pack? Single pack? one in every two cases?

They should give Volkoff a new straight faced scan (wow I sound like the Assassin)

I don't care if we get him as a singles figure or as a 2-pack with Nikolai, all I know is that we NEED Boris Zhukov...Obviously we already have 2 Nikolai's (which is more than enough), but if a 2 pack is the only way we get Boris then I would definitely buy it....Especially if it looked like the picutre below....The Bolsheviks were such an awesome tag-team and this line definitely would not be complete without Boris....

Good point, the only 1/2 fig that warmed shelves was Rodz and that was only b/c he wasn't from the PPV era. People know who Boris is.

Boris would be a nice addition to the CS line. I'm sure most people will pair him up with Volkoff as the Bolsheviks. Demand for CS Volkoff figs would also rise a bit since most would want his sweater or jacket so they'd be dressed up as a tag team. 1/2 would be alright I guess so he won't warm too many shelves but the problem with that would be his price tag and availability.

No reason to not have him in the CS line. I remember reading that he wanted a figure but Jeremy did not want to sign him. F' Jeremy if that is the case. Give the customers what we want !!!!!!!!!! I want Boris Zuchov !!!!!!!!!!!

Boris Zhukov is a must have for the cs line. If Jakks were smart make each of the classic assts 12 figures and sign as many guys as possible, before they can't do WWE licensed gimmicks

Please Jakks, Boris Zhukov is worth
He was a part of the first EVER Survivor Series, the first ever Roya Rumble, the first ever Summer Slam, he was a part of Wrestlemania's 4 through 6. Additionally he was a part of the 2nd and 4th Survivor Series.
Because of the time frame of his WWF career and b/c of his PPV exposer he is just as recognizable as guys like Putski, Rocky Johnson, & Tony Atlas. He would make a great 1/2 case figure.
Do you guys agree?

Jeremy says there are 10 spots left, and Boris isn't even in my top twenty.
