I honestly like Jakks a bit more.

wtf with the first picture? I hate a mattel a bit more because some figure's legs can't bend and snap off, like my Randy Orton's leg did

The first picture show's how much Jakks cared on their final run.

Not all figures legs snap off, just people that force them when they are stiff, all you have to do it put them in boiling water and it will loosen the leg.

SPOILER ALERT!

Gotten Drew McIntire, Kofi Kingston (Red and Black attire), and a elite Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler, Rey Mysterio (silver and gold attire), Mark Henry, and....*drum roll*

Whoooo Yeeeaaah!

Please welcome, "Macho Man" Randy Savage!!!

As for notes, Mattel has posed the figures oddly enough for their legs to stay in a ODD angle, Snuka and Mysterio are the pose freezers. I'll give the boiling water a shot. The water helped me customize Amazing Red and a mystery figure who I'm going to reveal at my next WZW episode...yea here comes the pain

Well I just prefer Mattels now because they´re scale with my ring ,their size is good.

[Jesseversion1]

TBH. i like both. But mattle has better detail work

[M]

I like both as well, Jakks for animating, Mattel for displaying, i like to animate with some Mattel's.

[⊰Tekirc⊱]

personally i really like the detail put into Mattel figures but Jakks will forever be the best!! i dont know why i just really like the quallity and looks of Jakks. Mattel is more for little kids playing around not animating.

I think Mattel has some all right qualities, too be honest. Jakks is way better. With Mattel the designs are better for smaller people like mysterio and evan bourne. but makes big people look small too. so it kind of sucks for guys like triple h, batista, taker. But Jakks just works for everyone.

I kind of disagree with that. Jakks's Deluxe Aggression models are a bit like Mattel's models. My Jakks Deluxe Aggression Rey Mysterio was about as tall as my Jakks Deluxe Aggression Triple H. I do not like Jakks for animating anymore, since the Mattel's are so light. Which is easier for string work, but they spin a bit more than Jakks. Also Mattel as a bunch more arculation I think, and they are kind of easier to break, but not by a long shot. So I could go with Mattel.

same here

[spiritjd33]

well, I'm kinda in between now on whats better. Call it a weird irony or something, but my Jakks Brian Kendrick broke something in the body cavity and now the left arm is looser than !@#$. The other Brian Kendrick, the one I got from youtuber superjonman1, did the exact same thing last year. If Brian Kendrick injures his arm or shoulder in the future, I'll be freaked the !@#$ out.

I recently got Randy Savage. Ive been testing with him and he doesn't seem like the other figures like i previously had. He was very well built, well constructed, and very, very impressive decorating with the figures clothing. He really didn't have that many flaws. I can't say hes the flawless, perfect figure, but i can say hes the closest figure to perfect by far from mattel.
