Got this in today with thanks to figureprice for the deal on it! This is my favourite set of all time. I know that it has many flaws, the figures themselves, but it was my holy grail as a kid and the pride and joy of my youth collection. I loved it so much I actually owned 4 MOC at one point, nowadays with the value of it I'm just happy to own one.

That's awesome that you were able to find this again. I really dig the concept of the set but wished there was more detail put into them.

Some of the parts/tattoos and especially the gear on the ABA one leave a lot to be desired. But it has that nostalgic feeling for me, I still love it. |

That's why I still collect and visit this specific section. I have a shelf of just Undertaker's and Kane's and it's all about nostalgia. |

the lack of detail on the aba figure and the head on the oldschool one are just incredibly bad.

The fact it’s in jeans feels a bit of a cop out from Jakks. A current day headscan for the supposed 1990 ‘Taker is rough. But hey ho, is what it is. |

That's why I still collect Jakks exclusively, it takes me back and I love that feeling! I'm working on my Kane & Takers just now, got a fair few so far. |

I think what makes the ABA Taker totally inexcusable is the fact that Jakks released good versions of Taker during that era. We know they could get it right if they tried. They just didn't. Still a cool set and a nice piece for an Undertaker collection. I love sets like this that show how a wrestler evolved over time. |

I agree about that, they released a good few better. Summerslam ‘03 set springs right to mind, and they did a good jeans and t-shirt figure in the Adrenaline set with John Cena. They did give this one the removable top which is nice, but the jeans and black tank top underneath was horrible. |

I actually think the 90s Undertaker head is the worst -- what were they thinking?!

Another great get, did I not see a old post that you had the exclusives to display this with? Must look great with your classic 1 of 100 taker, unmatched fury 1 of 100 taker and the 1 of 3000 taker.

Nice set. Not something I would want though. It's not for everyone, the one character in a 3 pack. I love the idea of it, just wish the execution was better in the quality of the figures. I'd have loved to see the 3 faces of Mick Foley in the Classic set too but we never got that. It's funny how a 3 pack seems a bit too much, but Mattel did a freaking 5 pack of just Undertaker! |

The two undertaker 1/100s look great and something completely different to anything else released. Shame they didn’t get mass released. |

Unfortunately, like with most of the very rare stuff, they saved the best and most unique figures for the 1/100’s. Bobby Heenan’s weasel suit, the boxing match Roddy Piper and Wrestlemania 20 Eddie are the 3 I wish were mass produced as I’d love to own them loose. With the price they are now, you’d have to be seriously committed to purchase those and open them. |

Mattel should take this on and do it more - jakks killed it with these sorts of packs! Imagine what they could do: Bret 3 pack - classic tag, IC and World champ attires with the belts Roman - shield, solo run, head of the table Seth - NXT trunks, shield, solo run or shield, initial solo run, messiah Hogan - hulk rules, nwo, hulk still rules Etc like those are just off the top of my head with no thought |
