Why are all the CS Undertakers awful?

[STING]

I just wish they made one good Undertaker in the CS singles packaging for MOC collectors.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH EACH CS TAKER...

- CS1 Taker
Terrible outdated TTL figure. White boots made no sense. Why is he in ring gear, but has on his tie?

- CS3 Ministry Taker
TTL Re-release. Good for it's time, but very outdated. Should have been remade in RA form, and could have still used the cape and chest plate.

- CS DA3 Grey Taker
The hat included with him doesn't fit. He's in ring gear, but is wearing a tie. Should have included the coat.

- CSTT (with Mankind) Taker
His outfit in this era wasn't just plain black. Should have had gothic looking crosses on the legs, on front of the shirt and design on the shoulders. He didn't get the Sara tattoo until years later. Wrong style laced boots.

- CSTT (with Bearer) Taker
The cloth boot covers are LAME, as they look too big. They should be sculpted. He's in ring gear, but he has his tie on. He's shorter than his manager included in the SAME PACK, who should be far shorter than him.

- Faces Of Undertaker 3 Pack... Biker Taker
No shirt design on the front. Not all that different from previous RA releases.

- Faces Of Undertaker 3 Pack... Masked Purple Taker
He's wearing a t-shirt. He has the 'Sara' tattoo, which he didn't get until several years later. The gloves are too short. The cloth boot covers are LAME, as they look too big. They should be sculpted.

- Faces Of Undertaker 3 Pack... Grey Taker
Cloth boot covers are lame, too big looking. Modern era scan. He's in entrance attire, but doesn't have his tie.

- CS 3 pack (with Kane and Bearer) Taker
Same issue with the outfit as the CSTT with Mankind. Completely lacking detail. Sara tattoo is inaccurate. The Ministry era head is wrong for that era, he had a full goatee and never wore that entrance attire in the Ministry. Same height issues with Bearer in this pack. (and a WRONG Kane makes the pack even worse)


So basically, Jakks has never come close to getting a perfect CS Undertaker figure yet. Every one has some major, glaring error that stands out to any Taker fan. Mixing up the era's and attires, leaving out important elements and being the wrong heights. These are all inexcusable errors to be making on such a major star. So far, I've had to customize every one of my Takers to look decent.

I've noticed about 95% of the CSDA3 Takers have their tattoo's going overtop of the grey "glove" paint.

the purple attire has a great scan



a newer headscan? this figure is like a mish-mash of undertaker nightmares.

You contradict yourself here, because they are both figures based on the same era (purple attire), and both have the same scan. But you praise one of them for it's scan and criticize the other for it.

this one is great, from 1996, if you go back to SS that year, this figure is dead on

It is not Survivor Series 1996. He still had purple attire at that point. This is KOTR '98, Hell in a Cell.

shyste said:

finally, this one was done exactly to that era. its basically what CS series 4 should have been.

#1. He wasn't in CS 4.
#2. Is it NOT done exactly to the era. He has the gothic era coat, yet has a 1999 Ministry era scan. It's a complete mish-mash.

So most of your analysis isn't worth a crap.

CSTT4 Undertaker was AWSOME, the others, eh not so much. I dont own the Undertaker 3 pack so I can't comment on it.

The majority are pretty bad, I however think they hit the nail on the head with the CSTT Taker... Best one yet IMO... ..

right on lol

[STING]

I think the Undertaker with the trench coat looks the best from the 3-pack of Undertakers. I never was a fan of the "biker" look. I didnt like that gimmick for Taker.

[Quanthor]

CSTT is awesome but, there is NO entrance gear, he is too small ANDhe's the best of the bunch which is a disappointment.

I dunno why people keep saying the CSDA hat doesn't fit. It fits perfectly.

the CSDA Undertaker is awsome

[Dan]

The CS 3 Pack one and the CSTT4 one are brilliant Figures. They should do an RA 2001 Era American Badass, with the long Biker Hair, Sleeveless Over-shirt etc.

I agree..Thats why I passed on CSDA Taker..I didnt like his scan..

I personally must disagree , that scan was dead on a thing. What bugs me about more of the CS Takers, and this is a big thing for me to complain like this, I usually hate when people nit pick, but every one that has his neck exposed has the SARA tattoo even though he never had it until the ABA days.
