The Classic Superstars line has gone to s***

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

Yeah time to end it, you guys just arent trying anymore






Ok so LOD are decent looking, but, we've had a ton of figures of them already do we really need LOD 2000? How about that Goldust figure that was supposed to be in the same line-up as Al Snow that we never got for some reason?




Did Berzerker ever even wear a blue shirt? I don't think so but good try I guess. It better come with a sword and shield to almost kill Undertaker with.



Aaaaaaand things have officially turned to s***. I've been wanting a Bossman figure since they started doing these things, but this is just AWFUL. It looks like they may've reused Tank Abbott's head (I'm too lazy to look for Tank to confirm that, but, even if its a new sculpt it sucks) and I don't think Ray Traylor was that skinny since the third grade. Seriously, someone needs to be fired over this.



But hey, who cares about Bossman, all you Billy Kidman fans are getting a new figure of him.

Both of you.



Okay Lance Storm actually looks good.



And right back to bloody atrocious we go. This RVD face sculpt is terrible and has been used on at least two previous figures, and what a bland outfit too. I've YET to buy a WWE RVD figure because they can never make him look right.



Spike looks great, from the neck down.



Umm....dont know quite what to say here...unarticulated anime style Trish? Well, yeah, I'd f*** her but thats not saying much, and I won't pay the $14.99 retail price to do it.

Since we're obviously never getting a Randy Savage and 90% of the recent releases have sucked, can we just end this line or give someone else the license?

I believe Berzerker did wear a blue shirt when he first came to WWF in 91.

[WinOwensWin]

HUSS!!

[>(straightedgepunk)<]

If I can be serious for a moment, I really like Lance Storm's figure. I like RVD's figure too. It's nice to see that they went with a classic ECW attire. I think that RVD's scan is alright. I think it captures his 'high and happy' look fairly well. Hopefully they paint stubble his face. That scan tends to look better with stubble. If you hate that RVD head scan then just do a head swap with one of his older fihgures. As for Bossman, I don't think it's as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

EDIT: FYI, Bossman's head is not a sculpt. It's an actual scan of his face. It's from one of his older TTL figures.

You're right, it may very well be worse.

Seriously, it looks like they gave him Spike Dudley's torso...the face looks awful, and the shirt needs to be tucked in and open at the top. I loved Bossman in that gimmick but if its not changed a lot there's no way I'm buying it.

Then again I'm really picky, but dammit, just try a little bit harder.

[A Platypus Rave]

Hasn't RVD said that was one of his favorite outfits?

Also that was Kidman before he became completly horrible... someone will probably buy it.

But yeah the Bossman torso is terrible.

[Chris the Bambikiller]

Hey, it's STONED RVD!
And Kim Possible Trish.

Agree on the bossmann figure, he has roid monster arms and the upper body of a pregnant teenager and he makes a face like he is just watching the 2 girls, 1 cup video.

Fixed for Mick Foley burn.

Im a huge Road Warriors fan. That being said, I didn't like Vince's version of them as LOD 2000. Besides, they didn't get them right, hawk had a full head of hair, granted it was a buzz cut, but still. Animal didn't have a full on Mohawk either.

the classic line has steadily been going down in quality lately.

Jakks is losing the WWE license so no real motivation for them to put out any effort in their products anymore. They know most of the people who buy their products will jump to Mattel just to stick with WWE figures (I for one will NOT).

I'm sticking with Jakks when the switch happens.......as long as the figures remain in RA styling.

They're making THE SHOCKMASTER people...if that's not scrapping the bottom of the barrel in desperation, I do not know what is.

And yet still no Goldust. I wanna know why that one was scrapped.

[Reptar]

That's Spike?

He looks like a porn star.
