Crush and Slaughter for me!

The rest are kinda sh*tty.

[Kyle - legendkilla2k9]

Slaughter & Blackman are the only ones the are eye opening.

[AKI Man]

Why show us Skaaland and Sherri if where not getting them I'll be getting Crush, The Warlord, The Barbarian & Steve Blackman. I'm really angry that were not getting that amazing Sherri! I was hoping for Warlord to have no face paint and have his "Phantom of the Opera" face cover and staff with W on it but I'm still happy with what we got.

[The Assassin]

-Barbarian - GETTING - Was hoping for a new headscan, but will get this for a Faces Of Fear custom
-Big Show - NOT GETTING - Was hoping for a straight-faced/staring headscan. I'll stick with my CS25
-Crush - GETTING - Was hoping for a new headscan, but will get this for a KroniK Adams custom
-Doink The Clown - NOT GETTING - Not a fan of Doink
-Goldberg - NOT GETTING - Was hoping for a screaming or mean looking headscan. I'll stick with my RA4
-Sgt. Slaughter - NOT GETTING - Was hoping for a new headscan. I'll stick with my LVLK version.
-Steve Blackman - GETTING - Great figure
-Warlord - NOT GETTING - Not a fan of warlord

-Arnold Skaaland - WOULD NOT HAVE GOT - Not a fan of Skaaland
-Sherri - WOULD HAVE GOT - was hoping for hair-down version, but I still would have got this to use the head for a Harlem Heat custom

Overall, quite a poor set. As others have said, would have been nice for CS to go out with a bang of effort instead of a pathetic wisp of disappointments. But I'm sure Jakks are just pushed for time.

CS28 hopes:
Brian Pillman - new "crazy smile" headscan
D-Lo Brown - straight-faced/non-smiling headscan (the proto DA version was going to be smiling)
Vader - unmasked shouting headscan w/ removeable mask
Bam Bam Bigelow - new headscan would be nice
Edge - CS exclusive headscan with classic hair and beard
...And perhaps some bonus NEW figures (not repaints) added to the lineup?

I'm not holding out much hope lol. CS28 is gonna be super-rushed i'm sure. But I'm looking forward to the 2010+ Jakks classic line and TNA figures

[wwepunk]

omg goldbergs head is the same as cs 25
doink looks the same but they just put him a jacket but im still going to get him

[Kody]

Actually not the worst set, compared to others recently. I'll try and get Crush and Blackman. Maybe Doink or something too.

WTF I just realised Crush not only has the tall laced boots which make him short he also has the CW SINGLET TORSO and the RVD THIGHS!!! He's going to be tiny if the final product has those parts!!! He should have Tall Kickers, Mr Perfect Thighs and SHW Singlet Torso (also used on CS Perfect) Then it would be a great figure and would take a bit of the sting of Evil Crush's removal away.

I cannot believe quite how bad CS has got, it's beyond ridiculous how many things Jakks mess up now, this series coulda easily been phenominal but I don't really want any of them if they don't change. I'll keep most of them MOC if I do get them because they don't look displayable from the protos.

To play devil's advocate here... those parts are correct in terms of what crush actually wore and the molds available. he didn't wear kickers and he had long shorts like van dam. I know what you're saying in terms of size but the choice of parts in terms of they look are dead on.

Why can't people read a whole post before quoting it ffs? I'm sure Crush did wear kickers sometimes but regardless of that there are plenty of taller boots and the main thing that will ruin it if it's like the proto is the LEGS and TORSO. THE THIGHS AND TORSO USED ON MR PERFECT are the CORRECT ATTIRE in the RIGHT SIZE. They make the same attire but are alot bigger, they just picked the small parts that alot of people wish they would use on alot of smaller wrestlers.

Crush never had a scrawny little torso with a tiny vest stretched over it nor did he have short stubby legs so I don't see how anyone can think that Crush proto is at all accurate.

[MR._SOCKO]

Man, I was really looking forward to the next set (CS 28). There are some figures in that set that I've been wanting for a long time but now I'm nervous because of what we've just been shown.

[spamdfms101]

Sweet, now Ill be able to get Goldberg since I missed him the first time around.

[carly1988]

Will someone explain to me why Slaughter isnt being bashed all to hell?

1) Same scan as always
2) Tank top torso
3) Painted on shirt (both 2 and 3 could have been fixed with oh i dunno, THE SGT SLAUGHtER MOLD)
4) Its subpar to his LVLK Slaughter figure even though it was suppose to look exactly like it.

Why not do something simple and easy like a Younger Slaughter from NWA/AWA I mean its more simple and less costly then the crap we're getting now

[Warheart]

i dont want to sound like a tuti-fruity diva gay fan but why the hell are they no going to release Sherri?! it looks cool!

man the only ones i'll even think about getting Crush and the Warlord. this set is sheer crap.

[White Trash Lucha]

Saves me more money honestly

[Gregorois©]

for me this set looks pretty good but is also a dissapointment
Good
Missed The Giant and this one is better
Kona Crush is sweet
Blackman looks good
Barbarian and Warlord both look well done
Evil doink shouldn't be there but he's pretty well done too.
Bad
Christian is gone
Sherri isn't being released
Outback jack is gone
no CS LJNs
no evil crush
Goldberg is baisically the same as the other with a little different tights

[L 0 T T 0]

I wish Crush was bulkier, but I will definitely buy.

[June]

I'll be getting Crush, Goldberg, Slaughter, Barbarian & Warlord.

[rkolegacy29]

Tut Tut jakks

[acura143]

This one of the reason I stop buying new figures. Jakks just don't give a . Same big show from CS 25 and Goldberg same scan which I don't like. The only good and would have bought from that set was Sherri but will not be released. Why would you tease us with a proto?

[The Outsider]

WTF!? So Jakks needed to get rid of their overstock of HHH/Fuji coats, and now we don't get an Evil Crush? The Doink, Big Show (straight re-release?) and Goldberg look like crap. The Powers of Pain, Sarge, Crush, and Blackman will be mine. I thought there was an LJN Batista slated for this abortio...I mean, set. And the 2 that were canceled look like 2 of the best in the set. Nice work, Jakks. I am OFFICIALLY on the "Jakks Is Just Phoning The Last Year In With Crap" bandwagon. I wonder if they realize that they aren't hurting a future WWE license, but rather future Jakks products.

[Deleted]

Seriously?? No Evil Crush?? & Warlord & Barbarian dont look right!! why have that face paint & not his silver face plate..& brown attire for barbarian
