I'd love to see a CS Boris released! Depending how Jakks does the CSTT line-ups, 2-pack with Nikolai Volkoff would be great! But given the short time frame, I'd just like to see him release din a singles pack.

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 dont think if it is one per 2 cases that he will warm shelves. He was a much bigger name than Johnny Rodz. I only remember Rodz in one match when he jobbed to Hogan in early 1985 before Mania. Killer was a huge name, but even older collectors that watched wrestling in the 80s probably don't remember much about him. Boris had more tv publicity from being with Nikolai and is probably remebered by more fans. I would much rather have a Boris than a Johnny Rodz or Tank Abbot any day. I would rather have Barry Horowitz than Rodz or Tank come to think of it.

I saw Johnny Rodz once, he didn't warm shelves around here, infact it was near impossible to find. Also, I saw Killer K under 5 times.

Jared, you know I'm on board for a Boris. I'd love to see a Slick/Boris 2-pack to get Slick finally released and not have to get another Nikolai. I'm wondering if I should make a post gauging the interest in a JJ Dillon, so I can re-address that situation with Jeremy...

Would you or would you not buy it if he was on the shelves of your TRU? I would not

I am all for a Boris Zuchov. I would buy him for sure. More than deserving of a figure in the CS line.

Boris deserves one anyway, but how could you argue Boris getting one when Tank Abbot had one?

I DESPERATELY want a CS Boris Zhukov! He's one of the few missing stars from the early WWF PPVs that we don't have in CS yet. The 3 pack Volkoff is one of my favourite CS figures, I bought a spare in case I need to make a Zhukov or incase he got made with no jacket. Jakks have all the perfect molds for a Zhukov figure, it could be amazing! The Bolshevics were one of the most memorable tag teams from the 80s because of the Russia/USA thing that was going on, they weren't supposed to be good they were supposed to be hated so that it was fun to see them lose. Zhukov also made a name for himself in the AWA but I'd much rather have a WWF version to match the CS Bolshevics Volkoff, it would be one of the figures I was most looking forward to if he was announced. He definately wouldn't shelfwarm if he was made to match the 3 pack Volkoff, the Russian gimmick is recognisable to any wrestling fan even if they are too young to remember Zhukov himself. PLEASE SIGN HIM JAKKS!

Before this thread gets lost in the shuffle...
Naturally Bad, are you still planning on forwarding this thread to Jakks cause I think there has been enough interest shown to warrant a figure of Boris.

I don't remember where, but sometime ago I read where Jeremy said that they were not interested in a Boris Zuchov figure. Personally, screw them, he may not be interested in one but there has been plenty of interest from customers wanting one.

I would love a Zhukov figure... Between his run in AWA and as one of the Bolsheviks I got to see a lot of his work.
Very good stuff...
Plus I love Soviet Wrestlers...

So do you guys think he should be pack 1/2 cases or should it be a 2 pack?
Please move to the suggestion board.

A Boljevics 2-pack would be awesome. With time and space running out for CS I'd prefer him in a 2-pack to a singles figure.

Thought this was new. Why are you topping threads from May?

Plus only releasing him as a single would free up another 2 figures for a 2-pack (since Nikolai has already been made).

That's perhaps true, but Jakks have been given us repaint after repaint in CSTT with only a handful of 'new' wrestlers. So I'd prefer one repaint and a new figure over two repaints. Thrwo in a jacket and a Soviet flag and a two pack would sell better than a singles Boris. But.... anyway Jakks releases Boris would work for me. The 3 pack Volkoff is one of my favourite CS figures, I bought a spare in case I need to make a Zhukov or incase he got made with no jacket. I did the exact same. Just in case.

WOuld be a great 1 out of 2 cases figure. I would buy it! A variant with face paint (from the 4th Survivor Series) would also be cool!
