Why the jakks hate?

You think the CS 18 Rikishi is a good figure? ing hell, that has to be the worst figure EVER produced by Jakks.

That CS Rikishi is awful, ya the Rikishi TTL headscan might be good, but the CSS is "supposed" to be a premium series, he should have been given a whole new headscan, and I won't even get into his rediculously oversized body. I mean those figures cost more than RA figures but they're made from the same type of molds and made with the same type of plasic yet they cost more, they should be flawless they should have more unique molds I mean Paul Bearer taller than The Undertaker? WTF? Kamala with tape on his ankles and a mini skirt? What the hell? There's no need for that if they're gong to charge more they should be perfect, Jakks is lazy and unprofessional and I'm fully confident that Mattel will do a much better job than these clowns.

Representatives from jakks sometimes read what we have to say on these boards. If there is an agreement or atleast a majority of the people that have a complaint about a figure, it will help jakks improve their product. I don't think jakks would like it if we simply didn't buy the figures. Jakks would be losing money ofcourse. I think Jakks would rather improve on their figures to our specifications before they mass produce them and ship them to stores for people to buy. Sometimes this doesn't work out but sometimes it does.

Nice educated reply. I hope I see your imput more than not, if it is usually similar to this, using the same thought process.

I disagree with so much of what you say plus you contradicted yourself.
-The reason we complain is because there is just far too many flaws. You dont see other companies making such ludicrous mistakes in almost every set. We dont expect perfect all the time but i think for so many things, as much as there are positives, there are negatives.
-As assassin said we are here cause we want to buy figs. We discuss figs here hence our comments, doesnt mean we are criticisng something we are definitely buying.
-As for the orton examplem a simple change of attire colours or correct boots could make it better.
-That rikishi is highly flawed. The torso is exceedingly huge, if they took a TTL scan they should have taken the rest of the fig which was in fact superior.

I love JAKKS. Sure, a lot of figures are kinda bad, but no one is forcing you to buy those. Plenty of the figures they release are downright INCREDIBLE. For example, DA16 Edge, RA32 Jesse/Festus and so many of them. So just buy the really good ones, like I do and you're set. On a whole, JAKKS does a superb job in my opinion.

who cares really, 1 more year and no more jakks!! YAY!! Mattel seems to be listening more and more to the fans to make things proper for them, and I`m hoping for some WWE exclusives through mattycollector.com in 2010! as a CS completionist I must say that the the quality has diminished in the last year or so. Sure the sets are smaller but the mix of newer superstars such as Cena is just getting stupid and the series lineup`s suck!

LOL You are an idiot! Not only do you contradict yourself you also pick THE WORST figure Jakks ever made as an example of a good one, CS18 Rikishi is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with Jakks - Despite thousands of posts/comments/emails about how he wasn't ever that fat Jakks for whatever reason gave him the hugest body mold ever (that's only ever been used on Yoko and Viscera who are supposed to be huge) then, instead of rectifying that problem they spent loads of extra time and money trying to work with their mistake giving him those silly cloth kickpads and kneepads (which turned into no kneepads) when the right torso would've allowed the regular pads and boots to fit. THAT is the problem with Jakks - sometimes all their effort goes into the corner cutting (even though that seems ridiculous) they sometimes spend so much time, effort and money trying to work out how to do something cheaper and easier that they could've just put that effort into doing it properly and it would've come out perfect for cheaper production costs.
The old "Don't Like It Don't Buy It! Simple!" chestnut is what people who don't collect figures say. No one else makes WWE figures so there's no other option, we don't buy them because of our love of Jakks, we collect because we love wrestling figures, so saying don't like it don't buy it is like telling us to give up collecting, which is stupid. No one who collects hates all the figures, I think all of us have many many figures that we think are beyond incredible, but why should we be happy not to have a certain wrestler like Rikishi in our collection just because Jakks messed up the only RA one there is? Many CS figures are the only ever figure made of a certain person, so how can any wrestling fan/figure collector who has eagerly anticipated the release of that figure for years not be annoyed when it's totally messed up to save Jakks a couple of cents?! Just because you don't have to buy it doesn't change that at all! Apart from that, there are many CS completists who buy whole sets, it would be very annoying to miss a few figures just because they are the ones that suck.
You really haven't thought about what you are saying, you have alot to learn before you should start making threads because you just don't get it at all.

First The cs 18 looks like a scrap up.
Second Figs arent made just for kids
Third: The rikishi body looks like Vaders body and its all tan. God he isn't Vader.
