Anybody have a checklist comparing Hasbros to Classic Superstars? I've always thought it would be interesting to see each CS next to its Hasbro counterpart, as long as the attire is the same or very similar.

Too bad that the CS line has some key Hasbro omissions (e.g., Owen Hart, Macho Man, Smoking Gunns)

It would have been cool to get guys like Ludvig Borga, The Head Shrinkers, Skinner, and especially Macho and Owen. But at least we got a bunch of figures of Eddie, HHH, Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Jericho in the Classic series. It's really to bad that there is no way to type sarcasm.

Cool, thanks for the list. I didn't realize so many were made.

My immediate thought for direct comparison is the Honky Tonk Man from the Rhythm & Blues 2-pack.

I didn't keep up with the CS much so I'll have to check some of these out. Off the top of my head I know the 123 Kid doesn't match up. I still don't understand why Jakks made that version of him.

If you're looking for CS figures that match up well with the Hasbros, you also can't go wrong with Earthquake #2 and Typhoon, or Roddy Piper from CS series 4. I believe that under the robe, CS series 2 Ric Flair matches his Hasbro figure. The CSTT Bushwhackers also match their first Hasbro figures. You also might want to check out the Dusty Rhodes exclusive, which is in the black and yellow polka dotted gear.
