The Tony Atlas figure came out at the right time because hes been on ECW with Mark Henery for a few weeks now, otherwise I prob. wouldn't care about a figure of him released. But Ron Simmons is def a good choice but whats up with the LGNs? They might as well but BCA or TTL lol.

Wow, this set looks really great.
I'm tempted to go for the 4 figure deal on RSC, but I also really want to get Simmons and Atlas. Cena is the only one that I really don't care much for.
Thanks for posting.

Not a bad set. I'm definately going to be getting Simmons and Atlas. I might pick up an extra Atlas at some point and do a head swap to make a suited figure for the current shelf. I was hoping to wait until we got a Bulldogs 2pk for Dynamite but I'm guessing the British Bulldog we are getting in CS24 will be the same as the Dynamite in this set. So I might pick him up too. Flair looks pretty cool but I really don't need another Flair as I already have like 3 of them. So I'll probably pass on him. Same goes for Rey. Really no use for him either. I'm fine with my CS19 Rock as little things like wrist tape don't bother me. And as for Cena...well...I don't think so.
So yeah...Simmons and Atlas for sure...and maybe Dynamite and Flair. Pass on the rest.

I will most likely pick up Flair as his robe is awesome and Cena to add to my MOC new style LJN collection.
I may also pick up Rock although I might try and find a 2003 style one.

Great! I'm glad to see MOC pictures have arrived, thanks for postign Trevor.
Anyway, my thoughts:
Dynamite Kid - Basic, but pretty acurrate. Definitely a great piece!
Ric Flair - Probably the jewel of the set. I am happy to see Jakks gave him a robe and WHC belt. I wish Jakks hadn't just given him a CS 2 robe in green however. I may pick up two of these (one for MOC, one for loose display)
John Cena (LJN-Style) - Not impressed with the proto and not impressed with the final product. I'm guessing Jakks was aiming for kids to pick this one up. This figure makes me wish they'd have given the spot to Yokozuna, Animal, Hawk or someone else needing a LJN-style figure.
Rey Mysterio, Jr. - Like the color-scheme used for Rey. Attire is pretty acurrate to his attire worn during his eariler WCW-stint. Wish Jakks had given him the Cruiserweight belt.
The Rock - One series too late. While I feel this figure depicts The Rock perfectly from 2000, the figure is basically a re-release of CS 19 sans wrist tape (unless I'm not seeing the right colors as I am colorblind). But glad Jakks gave Rocky the newer Attitude-era WWF Title!
Ron Simmons - Not much change from his proto, but the figure depicts him well from his days as WCW champion. Not a knock against the figure, but I was hoping Jakks was going to release a WCW Heavyweight belt he wore.
Tony Atlas - Very basic figure, but acurrate. Wish Jakks had given him something for an accessory, but I cannot think of one that would suit him well.
Overall, very happy with this set. Thank you Jakks. I still would like to know why The Sandman was taken out of the set so late in production.

That will be my first Ric Flair classic. Im excited and it looks great!
The rock is nice too, I will pass up cs 19 for this one. Another Attitude era belt! Swwweeeet.
Im not to keen on the rest of them as I wasnt fans, I may get the dynamite kid tho, I havent decided yet...

thanks for the pictures!
im still mad that Sandman was taken out. i was looking forward to that figure.
Dynamite Kid- Perfect, I dont know why they took away his kneepads, but the scan, body, attire & coming with a tag belt make this my favorite figure in the set.
Ric Flair- YES! Robe! thats all i needed for this figure to be perfect. WCW belt is a nice addition.
Cena LJN- im actually glad this came out, because its just more evidence to my point that LJNs are TERRIBLE and a waste of a space in the Classic line. There is nothing "classic" about this, and it actually looks worse than the proto. These need to go
Rey- I love the attire, they acheived his "classic" look by not giving him his current tattoos at least. although I wish they had used an older scan to make it more "classic" its still a cool figure.
The Rock- OK its safe to say that this is better than the CS19.(All the complainers whined about his stupid wrist tape, and now we get basically an exact re-release with that one minor problem solved.) It would have been nice if they at least changed the logo color on his trunks. At least they threw in the Attitude Belt, its good to see that getting more use.
Ron Simmons- Awesome, looks exactly like the proto. Its nice to see Ron getting a good figure. my 3rd fav. in the set
Atlas- Great figure, scan looks great, no accessory though, and he's rather plain. But hey, thats accurate. Its a good thing Tony is on TV now, I bet this sells more because of that.
Overall Positives- Almost everyone comes with a belt. Flair's got a robe after years of waiting we finally get Dynamite this Rock figure is more accurate & comes with the attitude belt Simmons' scan
Overall Negatives- atlas not coming with an accessory the rock being basically an exact re-release no sandman using rey's current scan on a "classic" figure
I'll be getting the whole set minus the LJN, and thats because I collect every regular CS figure minus the LJNs
But if I wasnt a completeist I'd pass only on the Rock.

Sweet! First off Thanks for posting these Trevor. I see Flair gets a robe now , but Dynamite loses his knee pads. (luckily I have extras) Glad I pre-ordered Dynamite back in March. I should have pre-ordered the Flair as well, because it'll take forever for these to show up at mass retail. My area TRU still hasn't had CS19 yet and these look like in a week or so they are going to be in stock at RSC. Here's who I'll get - Dynamite - looks the same as the proto(minus knee pads) and has a tag tilteFlair - has a green robe & large world title Rock - No wrist tape and a WWE title Mr. USA - Looks the same as proto, but No accessories Simmons - Looks like the proto w/ large World title Nuh uh dude, look again. . . . Dynamite has toungue boots!!! YES!!!!

Not Really IMPRESSED with the set at all The Rock and Cena....TRASH!!!! Ron Simmons..HOW DID THEY GET HIM WRONG !!!! The scan looks like one of those Mcfarlene scans,ya know make him black put the right attire on him and POOF no one can tell it doesn't look like him was he tanning in Jamaica with KOFI !!and could we get an accurate belt?No more Reys........please.I will get Dynamite even though Jakks must have run out of knee pads .........again.Tony is good I'll grab him,but why no tag belt like Rocky ? The gem is Flair he's a must now that he came w/robe.Any pix of what his body looks like?

They finally realized The Rock doesn't have wrist tape....took long enough.
Flair's robe looks good.
Only one I was considering was Dynamite Kid...he just looks like he's missing something.

They all look good. Flairs robe looks amazing, I love the color. Anyone who picks up cs19 rock over this mentally handicapped. This one has no wrist tape and a better title.
