CLASSIC JAKKS FIGURE OF THE WEEK:

Undertaker
Superstar Series 7

The Undertaker's Series 7 figure was one of the most anticipated figures of last year. For more than a year, fans complained about the cartoonish likeness of Undertaker's Series 1 and Series 2 figure. Everyone wanted an all-new Undertaker with his tattoos that actually looked like him. With his Series 7 figure, fans got their wish.
