Funny how some people keep saying Sting has the wrong torso. You should know by now, this is Jakks & chances are they will change it anyways. No, they'll say they'll change it when it's wrong (CS 10 Dusty and not.) Or they'll change it when it was right to the wrong torso (CS Tatanka) Still I have 2 Stings on preorder. -1 I'll do the torso change on the other is for a DA custom I'm working on. I picked up a CSDA Davey Boy at TRU today to start. I just hope the skin tone changes on the final product.

If Sting comes with a jacket it's a must for me....other than that maybe Hogan. Not liking the set so far as Angle and Nash aren't exactly classics. Granted Jakks probably can't use any likenesses owned by the WWE, including WCW stuff.

Love the Nash, Angle, and Sting. The other 2 look like crap.

Sting is passable, the rest are just awful. Same old Jakks, I guess.

This line is by no means everything i had hoped it would be, but i have to assume it is going to get better....... Masked Superstar and Zbysko certainly seem to indicate that things will be on the rise, and if there is any truth to that Blackjack Mulligan image I keep seeing floating around, well....then I am willing to give them some time to flush the whole thing out. I really want this line to succeed so Vinnie Mac doesn't have complete say on everything in the wrestling world. bottom line, Sting looks pretty good, Hogan is okay....Angle and Nash have no business being there...and Jarrett seems to be screaming in agony at how crappy they made him look. Hopefully these will get better before they are released, but if not....that Blackjack Mulligan looks terrific!!

Surfer Sting was one of the most charismatic guys at his time, when it comes to facial expressions, and those dumbasses give him a stern expression??
Give us a angry, toothy grin! or a screaming scan!
It just doesnt look like Sting with that expression. Ill pass.
Did kickpads even exist at that time either?

ok first off, thank the toy gods we are getting them in RA i dont know why they are super tanned im not digging that at all
Sting - prety sweet overall def geting it, although wrong torso, Ivan drago head sculpt?, and undertaker boots ugh!
Japan Hogan - wasnt looking forward to this but it looks sweet might snatch it up
TNA Debut Kurt - would have preferred him with hair but w/e
Nash - short haired sculpt is cool and forearm tattoo finally, despite lookin like a reused tommy dreamer head all and all ill probly get it
Scott steiner - uh where did he go?
whats with the 19 yr old jobber tights double J?, might buy him just cause i really want a jarrett
PLEASE FIX THE HORRIBLE TAN JOB ON THESE FIGS
7/10

Just me or are the images not working? I looked at them earlier, wasn't really around for classic wrestling so this doesn't interest me much but I will pick up the surfer Sting to go with the TNA Sting.

Remember, this is Jakks, so they will probably look even worse than the protos.
And the protos look bad themselves. Maybe it's just my monitors, but it looks like their "face scanners" aren't working correctly. Plus, they are painted badly. Hogan's mustache is a completely different color than his hair! I like that they are doing different things, though. But, I don't think that 2006 TNA Debut Kurt Angle or 2005-ish TNA Kevin Nash count as classics. The others certainly do.

Isn't hogan in the attire he was in when he tried that flying dropkick and screwed up that japanese guy? The Sting is amazing, so is hogan. Angle is good for what it is, but no one wanted it and it isn't legendary at all. Jarret is good, but its a shame we didn't get a more recent attire. Nash is horrible. They cancelled Steiner .

Good to see jakks images again but unfortunately they arent as 'amazing' as they should be to kick off a line. Sting is good although the scan is off. Hogans the other standout and i actually like the angle. Nash is an odd one and jarrett is downright attrocious.

. Did kickpads even exist at that time either? the tall kickers are the best choice to represent Stings boots without doing a new mould. he didnt wear laced boots so they are out.... and short kickers or the MVP boot mould would look inaccurate and make Sting too small in the case of the small kickers.

Thanks for the explanation. Well in that case I see it like this: Sting is about to be the new Ultimate Warrior for Jakks, with all of his figures that will be out in the future; so why not just give him the mold(s) he needs? And regaurdless if its just Sting, its a whole new company theyre making figures for anyway. They shouldnt be afraid to make new molds for anything.

Why do you guys want the balloon head figures? Probably, for the same reason why some want the ugly Mattel figures, because they like them. Its all in what one prefers and thank God, we all now have a choice in what we will collect. I think options are good and only benefit us collectors.
