So Jakks Pacific is taking over the Pokemon toyline from Hasbro? Thats just strange, I like Jakks Pacific but having them doing it instead of Hasbro is just simply strange IMO. I really don't know if this could work or not...

Prepare for a decline in being true to the looks of the characters *Stares at Jakk's DBZ Toys,why did Irwin stop* it's sad 10 years with Hasbro and nothing now. Shame Sad

I understand what your trying to say here, but it might've been worse. At least Mattel didn't give Pokemon the "One Piece" treatment. (Unless IF you want to provide visual evidence otherwise if JP's Dragonball Z toyline was any worse.)

Irwin Toy did make some great DBZ figures, especially at the end. But they went belly up. Also nice that Irwin was very friendly to specialty stores.

Jakks wouldn't know a good toy sculpt if they saw it and their QC is nonexistent. Jakks is where toy lines go to die.
