Thanks guys. I think Stephanie scan is amazing and would look 100 times better if her eyes and mouth were painted like the proto pic on the box.

Thanks for the pics.
If I find Koloff and Sullivan in stores, I'll most likely buy them even despite their flaws.

Thanks for the pictures PJ. I like your fix-up of Koloff better. I also agree with you about his chain accessory...just a total waste. I see no reason why Jakks couldn't have given him a chain similar to CS 8 Brody's. I just hope when (or IF) we get a Hercules, he'll have a metal chain.

Great photos as always. Koloff looks really good with those boots, I guess I'll be buying two so I can fix one up. I don't know why they gave him such a straight faced expression, there's far too many straight faced emotionless scans in CS, I much prefer some expression especially when a wrestler usually had a certain look on his face. If all CS figures had good expressions and if there were a few more different hand molds then the figures would look infinitely more lifelike, the lack of expression in hands and faces make alot of CS figures a bit statuesque rather than lifelike. I guess the Koloff boots were a mistake on Jakks part but there's no excuse for that rubbish plastic chain, I bought half a meter of the same chain that came with JYD and Zues for 50p! It probably would've cost Jakks less to do the metal chain than the molded plastic one! Sullivan looks like a superb figure, it's a shame that the dye still soaks into the plastic, far too many figures have been marred by those stains but as long as they are displayed in entrance attire it's not the end of the world, still annoying though. I can't wait to get that figure. The HHH/Steph set looks awesome, despite not being a set that I was too exited about the idea of it's one that I will happily spend the cash on. The painted t shirt was a stupid mistake but the jacket covers it fine. I actually much prefer the jacket on the CS one to the old TTL one which was far too bulky IMO, this one looks alot more realistic. That's my favourite HHH scan too although maybe not perfect for that Era, a new scan would've been nice but that one's probably the best available. The Steph figure looks wonderful, I love the attire, the make up does look a bit dodgy but that's a minor problem. Two new painted belts (I don't have CSDA Rock) makes this set even more enticing. If only every Jakks figure or even IE could be done to this standard, this is why I love Jakks.

Thanks guys with Nikita it does look like him, but he looks confused/surprised when he should have had a more angry scan as he was the "Russian Nightmare". (Maybe more like the RFE/CS18 Austin scan)
Plasticsuperstar - with the jacket for HHH... I'd like it more if the leather jacket was underneath it. Yes, the old one was so bulky, but with this new one the denim is so thin that if they had the leather underneath it would still rather thin. But it didn't even need the whole leather jacket they could have just added some leather (and the belt) to the inner lining like they did to it's collar just so it had a little more realistic look to it. Don't get me wrong it's not bad as it is, but when you pose him in certain poses you see there's no leather jacket under it.

great stuff
i agree about nikita its such a waste to have that ridiculous plastic "chain" if they could give Zeus a chain, why not nikita? cheap & lazy should not be things jakks is when it comes to Classic figures, but unfortunately with the way this economy is....i see it becoming an epidemic during their last year +
ah well, great pics as always +1 for you
side note: i really HATE the rocky boots plus they make the figures lean to the left (figure's right) which just looks ridiculous when they are on display
Sullivan is a great figure too, thats too bad about the stains I keep my Classics MOC for now, even when i open them all they'll just be on display so it doesnt bother me terribly, but still...you'd think they could do something about that
the 2 pack is quality too, aside from HHH's painted on shirt which looks ridiculous the painted attitude title is almost worth the price and they should have given Trips a new scan

my CS19 Tatanka,Koloff,Sullivan,Bomb and Rock are all en route but Im annoyed at the amount of fixups required.
I have a set of Tall kickers waiting for Nikita and I took the hands of CS17 Rock to use on the CS19 figure.I reckon the shirted Rock wont mind the black wristape.
speaking of which...why do Jakks continue togive the Rock black wristape?

I really don't mind the torso change on Tatanka. I was thinking about giving Nikita the Kane/Demolition boots, but in the end decided to go with the tall kickers. And I wish they'd get one Rock right.
