WWE Classic Superstars 19
WWE Classic Superstars 19 Review
I just got my CS 19 set in from my friends at www.ringsidecollectables.com
I ordered them on Sunday night and had them in hand today Wednesday the 4th of June. Can’t beat that shipping!
Evil Doink
Glad to have a second Doink. Interesting note that the package actually refers to him as evil doingk. Love that they did the evil version as it was a distinctly different character. The Face is awesome and his attire is great too. The knee pads and elbow pads look bad but they can be taken off easily. Would have been nice if it came with a giant sledgehammer or better yet a cloth removable jacket! Nope instead we get a tag belt. Why I don’t’ know. To my knowledge he never held this title but its better than nothing. Over all a rely nice fig. Not only do we have a doink to represent both eras of the character we can also do the multi Doink “illusion.”

Tatanka
This figure was a bit of a let down compared to the protons. They went with the chunky torso here as the protos had the rock type heavyweight torso. I think that would have suited this era Tatanka much better. I can only imagine that the change was made so they wouldn’t have to alter that leather flap thing that goes around his waist. My other complaint is the knee pads. color doesn’t do it for me and they should stick with the old style in some cases. Also hate the bow and arrow. I mean why did they ever make this accessories. It really is useless. If you are going to make a brand new accessory for a guy make it something they actually used like a TAMAHAWK! The arm detailing and head are great. And the tassels on the legs are also a plus. Don’t get me wrong this is a good figure. But it had the potentional to easily be a great figure.

Adam Bomb
Another pleasant surprise to classic superstars. Helping to complete my dream of having ra figs for all the Hasbro releases. This figure is just perfect. Knee pads w/ logos, great outfit, great head scan. And removable new molded goggles that fit perfectly! WE got a tattoo I mean I am so pleased. The only thing that would have made him better is little yellow “atom bomb” foot balls like he used to throw to the crowd. But lets not get too fussy here.
10.0 what a cs fig should be
Nikita Koloff
Simple but accurate. I like the large boot mold and the outfit is great. A simple figure that captures Nikita’s character perfectly. But a plastic chain!!! Jakks come on! This is supposed to be the special classic series. I mean we pay extra for them. Is it too much to ask for a metal chain that you already have with other figures such as Bruiser Brodie!?! Shame on you.

Cactus Jack
Honestly, with the 3 pack, and IE release I relay didn’t need this one. Love the smaller arms for him and new hand molds. The tights and head scan are great. The bat has painted barbed wire which should be expected but isn’t always delivered so that’s nice to see. Love the cowboy boots. And we get a cloth shirt though it is awkward. I would have rather seen a different shirt to represent his wcw or ecw days. Possibly just have him in his tights for an early cactus. NO arm scars. that’s a disappointment. I mean even the BCA fig had arm scars. Overall it’s a re release and I relay wasn’t excited about it
6.5
The Rock.
Great figure and glad to own it. Has the same scan that we saw in the last CS series but this time in full ring gear. IC belt is a nice touch. Has the bull tattoo and logoed trunks. My only complaint is the lack of logos on his elbow pads. It’s a simple fig but represents an era of the rock that is a must for the line.

Black Tiger. Oops I mean Eddie Guerrero
Come on Jakks do your research. The mask proto looked amazing I must say. But with out the mask this is a useless repaint. We had cs Eddie with this head before and we had best of wcw one. Now if you wanted to put the head on a different body and do an Attitude era Eddie that would have been acceptable. But this was useless. But the bottom line is its an Eddie Guerrero figure so it will sell. Comes with a chair. And as I always say. You can never have enough chairs.
Kevin Sullivan
Another figure that I was wonderfully surprised with. The head scan is perfect and the body choice is spot on. The microphone was un necessary but a I’ll take it. The robe was beautiful and made the figure 100% perfect.
10.00
Howard Finkel
One of the most over due figures ever if you ask me. I have been waiting for a Fink fig for years! It’s a pretty simple suited fig so not much to say really. The head scan looks a bit scruffy kind of and wasn’t how I remember the fink. But I’ll take it and be happy.
9.00
LJN Mankind
Well for those of you that know me know that I hate the LJN style. They are not in scale with LJNs and they have 0 articulation so why even make them. They look like crap. And are over all useless! Worst of all they take up a valuable space in each cs series that could be filled by a good figure!!! Will this ljn is even crappier than the others and that’s coming form a mick foley mark. That’s why this baby is moc. If you like this kinda thing its available on ebay. Starting bid 99 cents!
