I hope mattel look at jakks stuff and keep..

[kanekilledvince]

NOTHING!!!

I want them to be totally and completely fresh. We're moving company, lets move to the future and not keep the same old boring styles.


a small do's and dont's:


Dont...

... Do a similar to RA cos we want you to buy our stuff line.

... Copy any of jakks moulds.

... Waste money buying anything off jakks.

... Release a playset in five years.




Do...

... A This is how we do it, get over it line.

... Make new moulds based on the average torso of the actual guys performing.

... Be original in naming the lines and products.

... Release a playset immediately (a ring, for example) and have it as one of the first products



These are exciting times for collectors. Thankfully i dont collect anymore, so i dont care if they F'k it up really badly. But if they go hugely overboard and make a great product, they may reel me back into the collecting game.


Anyone agree?

[FACELESS]

that sounds like a good set up to go by dude

[urijahexpress]

I agree on everything here pretty much. My only suggestion would be to at least mimic RA or DA in size.

Other than that, I really hope they get overall body scales down for each guy. I'm looking forward to seeing someone like Rey measured up against someone like Umaga or Batista in terms of scale.

Sounds sweet, I would like it.

[Legends Collector]

I agree, I like your body mould and release a playset immediately idea.

[T-Phunk]

I have to disagree slightly. I don't need them to copy RA, but I would like the new figures to look similar enough that if I stood it next to an RA figure that it would not look ridiculous next to it. Similarly to the way Marvel Legends can be displayed with certain DC figures. I would agree that I would like a more realistic average sized torso. I think the "non-ripped" torso came to Jakks much too late in their tenure.

I would agree, and would like to add that I hope they're not to cheap on the accessories. I mean how many mics, lead pipes, and cookie sheets do we need?

Surely, if they keep nothing jakks related, they won't have real scans?

and that's where the Four F'n Horsemen come in, they've done a great job on the new Batman figures so they can sculpt wrestler's heads too
