It concerns me how low the Coliseum Collection figures are on this poll. Am I the only one who sees these as the best thing Mattel offers? Imo they have the best/coolest packaging for a line/subline (with Superstars a close second). Best thing they offer? Far from it and that's not the line's fault. The line excels because it relies on the nostalgia/LJN factor, but it is also held back for that very reason. Character and attire selection are beholden to the LJN releases so it is going to be hard to ever top Asuka, WM7/SS Warrior, Rollins, Gooker, etc. when most of the LJN attires/accessories are pretty plain/boring. And unfortunately, the packaging will only carry the excitement factor so far since it isn't new anymore. Also, I think most people tried to be objective when voting and put their bias aside (I don't think everyone did this, but I think people tried). I voted for the figures that I thought were the best that Mattel released (Gooker/Logan Paul and Seth probably would have been my third pick). If I just voted for my favorite, it would have been WM7 Warrior. |

But the packaging for the CC line and overall efforts to replicate the LJN looks in Ultimate form is still beautiful to me. |
