A while back I posted a comparison pic of the RA29 Edge's Rated R logo to some previous releases...  For no reason at all, Jakks made the R look like it was drawn by a 7 year old. Not a TOTALLY big deal, but it bothered me because they've used the Rated R logo before so I see no excuse to mess up now. But today, I'm just blown away at Jakks' lack of effort. I just had my first look at the new DA 3-packs, and even I find it hard to believe that they were so sloppily thrown together. Now, I understand that Jakks has the burden of trying to produce an ungodly ammount of WWE figures per year. A mishap here or there is understandable, and its almost impossible to stay current. A resonable person expects inaccuracies in toys... But there is a point at which we must question whether the flaws are a product of overburden, or carelessness in the pursuit of rushing out an unfinished or flawed product just to make a dollar. I know that many of us, myself included, have been waiting for a good camo Edge figure to be released. Jakks was gracious enough to release one in RA29, but they purposefully left it unfinished, probably with the intent of releasing it later as a finished product with an old headscan.  Now, however, they've released this DA 3-pack with a camo Edge... but they made it the wrong color and left off the front logo alltogether! It seems to me that Jakks has stopped trying. They don't care because they know that we'll buy the stuff. |

They have obviously given up with the WWE licence and are just trying to squeeze as much money out of the last few series as possible. They had the honour of producing a whole Four Horsemen series of figures and they couldn't even be bothered to sit down and watch the 3 hour DVD first so they could have some idea who the figures were meant to be of. The only thought they put in to most of their new figures is how to minimise their costs to make more profit. I can't wait til a decent toy company takes over making WWE figures because Jakks are making a pig's ear of it these days.

Wow, you may have a point, that looks horrible. Hard to imagine the same company released that and the Giant Gonzales figure(which is freakin' awesome).

Giant Gonzales hasn't been released, we've only barely seen the proto. I wouldn't be suprised if they release the Giant Gonzales with no paint detail on the back... |

I bet that Giant Gonzales looks nothing like the one at toy fair did. It will either have the front design with no back or just a plain Khali top with Big Show bottom and either just that or it will look like someone crap on it |

Hasn't WWE been trying to get out of their contract with Jakks for a while now?

not trying to be a smart ass, but i don't see the difference in the Rated R logos. The R on the camo edge looks a little thinner or something.. but im sure its like that these days anyway. They use WWE's logos, they don't draw them themselves.
Also, again, no offence, but were you under the assumption that Jakks were trying? i realised a long time ago that they didnt give a crap.

Jakks has stopped trying. They don't care anymore because if they read this board they know people will buy whatever they throw at them. Recently they  ed up so many great products and it's pissing me off. Collecting doesn't even seem worth it anymore. We should all just invest our money into other things until Jakks decides to give their full effort. The last few sets they have ed up perfect figures. RA 29 Edge- Didn't bother to give him the right design on his pants RA 29 Matt Hardy- Looks nothing like the proto. Very cheap on the pants design. RA 29 HBK- Didn't bother to add the hearts. I know it don't matter to some but since I wanted an HBK in WrestleMania 23 attire so bad this really pisses me off. WrestleMania 23 HBK- Same deal here. WrestleMania 23 CM Punk- ed up his tattoos WrestleMania 23 MVP- Gave him two right calfs and could of put more detail into the outfit. I'm sure this was done on purpose so we all buy RA 30 MVP RA 30 Whole Set- Need I say any more? Plus the constant loose joints on figures is really pissing me off. Jakks clearly doesn't care anymore and they aren't gonna start caring until sales drop. Jakks knows around Christmas time everything sells anyway so in their mind they say why bother we got our collectors hung by the balls anyway... |
