how about we wait until BOTH Andres are actually released before doing anything like this? or is this just another excuse for a Jakks v. Mattel thread??
I'm wondering how long it's going to take before people on this board realize that PROTOTYPE photos are PHOTOSHOPPED
When the figures actually are released in stores is when you can compare them.
Not to mention you can't compare a Jakks Andre which is designed to represent him from the 70's with a Mattel Andre that is designed to represent him from the 80's.
If you're going to do that, you need to take the Jakks Classic 6 Andre and compare...considering the Classic 6 Andre is an extremely well done & amazing figure. I think it's better than the Mattel Andre.

The afro Andre that Jakks made is one of their best ever.
Mattel's scan looks great from the proto, but his hands are teeny tiny. Andre had colossal hands, 2 to 3 times bigger than most guys but that figure doesn't reflect that.

Seriously this poll is so intellectually- disabled. Obvious biased at the very least as you have a Jakks vs. Mattel poll of a Mattel board. Okay Genius, do you really need to have it. If you wanted a good poll, insert CS 7 Andre as that is probably the BEST Andre the figure from any company.
Plus the Andre's are from two different time periods. I'm betting my last dollar 99% of people on this board have NEVER seen the LOTR Andre on TV or any kind of footage.
The body on mattel's is good, Jakks' isn't that far off as Andre was thin for his size in the earlier years. Plus Mattel's scan is ....well, something is off.

u get the worst jakks andre ever and post it on the mattle board. of course his gunna loose  Not quite. Clearly, the Mattel head sculpt is superior if we're comparing the two (from their respective eras), but I prefer the Jakks body. really because thats jakks big shows body and andre never wore a double strap or knee pads |

Jakks Andre looks like a giant overweight Butthead from Beavis and Butthead.

Mattel has terrible likeness as well. Have you seen the Jimmy Snuka figure. It's a disgrace compared to the JaKks as well as the Animal Figure which Jakks has done a better job so far.

The new Jakks Andre is atrocious! Mattel clearly wins this battle. The Jakks series 7 was way better than this crap!

i will not dignify this with a vote. obviously, Mattel's is far superior.
however, referring to Jakks as the "land of snowboots" - i hope that wasn't a dig on their version of Andres' boots - because the boots was the only thing they got right.

Don't know how anybody could not like the mattel face. It looks perfect for an older Andre.

If that is the Big show elite body then if you want to get technical Jakks is the only one to make a custom body for Andre The Giant. It was in the Classic Series 6. The Mattel head on that body would look good IMHO
