I have just ordered Elite Series 2 Randy Orton and Elite Series 3 Shawn Michaels and I was wondering, has anyone discovered any problems with them?

Just got my HBK this afternoon. The only problems I've had with any of the Elites is some tend to have loose ankles. Other than that they're awesome.

[align=center] PROLOGUE[/color] Evan Bourne: Before signing with TNA again, Korklan wrestled on the independent circuit for promotions such as Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South, Ring of Honor and the Japanese promotion Dragon Gate under the ring name Matt Sydal. Korklan also had a tenure in the short-lived Wrestling Society X promotion and was featured on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's early pay-per-view (PPV) events. Korklan is known for his high flying, lucha libre-inspired style of wrestling. Sydal was featured on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) first three-hour pay-per-view event, Victory Road as a participant of a twenty-man X Division Gauntlet for the Gold match, a match where two wrestlers begin the match, and are replaced whenever one is eliminated, with the last person standing being named the winner. Bourne also was part of an online poll for the Sacrifice event. The winner of the poll would meet Christopher Daniels for the TNA X Division Championship. Sydal, along with Jay Lethal and Roderick Strong, lost the poll to Austin Aries. During his tenure with TNA, Sydal was mainly utilized as a jobber, a wrestler who is rarely or never booked to win a match.. but that all changes NOW, Evan is now ready to debut on screen and win his match... he has to prove himself to Hulk Hogan... it will happen...[/color][/font] #001 BOURNE TO BLOG[/color] <span style='font-family:tahoma'><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'> Hello all of my Bourne-a-maniacs! All of you have heard the news that I have officially signed with Total Nonstop Action, and I already love it! My first match is to get in the Ultimate X match which I know I would do great in... also as many of you know I was already in TNA but I was used as you could call a jobber, but thats not the deal now... I'm here to stay in TNA for a very long time... anyways what are you guys up to? I've been training for something like this also, I talked to the IMMORTAL! Yes, I talked to the man himself, I talked to Hulk Hogan and he said I was great, and talented! His exact words were, "I'm impressed; you are a perfect fit into a division seen nowhere else in this business; the X-Division." He said he wants me in the X-Division match... Can you believe it? I couldn't believe it, my blood's pumping and I'm ready to whoop some ass! Haha, I know you all missed me but now I'm here to stay, anyways I gotta go, I hope you all tune in to TNA iMPACT because you will all see my pretty face haha... just kidding, but really tune in! I'll wait to see you all. Yours truly, Evan Bourne
[/color][/color][/font]</span></span> WORKOUT[/color][/font] Evan walks into the gym and rings the bell and the secretary came out and told him he is free to go... Evan walked in and saw a whole lot of TNA and WWE superstars but there was one person he saw in-particular, it was the man that was very good at high flying situations... some might think he was not good but Evan thought he was an idol to him, it was basically the creator of the 450 splash... he saw Paul London, he walked up to him, and started to speak...
<span style='font-family:tahoma'>EVAN BOURNE Hey Paul! Allow me to introduce my self... my names Evan Bo-<span style='font-family:tahoma'> PAUL LONDON I know who you are kid... and you got some potential-- wanna meet up after you're done and I could show you some moves for that big match coming up for TNA...[/color] <span style='font-family:tahoma'> EVAN BOURNE Alright, that sounds good.. I just came to get a quick workout, so it wont be to long...[/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/font]</span></span></span> Evan walks over to the bench press and starts lifting a little bit, he stays there for about 15 minutes and then gets up and wipes the sweat off of his forehead and takes a drink of his water, he then gets up and walks to the tread mill, he starts it up and presses 5 to start, he has to sprint a little bit, he then presses 7, and starts to run, and then presses 9 and starts to run really fast, he stays on 9 and looks around the gym and see's all the diva's, knockout's, TNA stars, WWE stars, it was crazy that they all were here... but his mind was really set on his match... he was actually worried because he knew these guys called the Motor City Machine Guns were pretty big in TNA, and he didn't know how good they were, but he was nervous... he turned off the treadmill because he was very tired, but ready to meet up with Paul... He walked over to Paul and asked him if he was ready and Paul said "Yeah", they started to walk out, and Evan started to walk to his car...[/color][/font] PAUL LONDON Where you going?[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE To where ever were gonna train?[/color][/color][/font] PAUL LONDON Oh... thats right over here... I used to come here alot more then I do now and I got a little spot I know... it's just around here...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Oh... haha![/color][/color][/font] They turned the corner and started to chat, and they finally get there after a little while, they walk into the training room and they're is a big ring sitting in the middle of it, the room was basically filled with weights, and extra stuff not needed for the gym.. they got into the ring and Evan started to jump on the ring to see how bouncy it was... Paul went into the bathroom and didn't come out for a while, Evan sat and thought to himself, about his previous time in TNA, and how horrible it went... he knew it was time for change to happen, and the change is coming, he was ready for his match, but he was interrupted when Paul came outside of the bathroom and was wearing... wrestling attire?[/color][/font] PAUL LONDON Come on pretty boy, lets go for a quick round ...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE You sure about this Paul... I don't wanna hurt you... Ha ha.[/color][/color][/font] PAUL LONDON Yeah, I'm sure lets go...[/color][/color][/font] The two get in corners and Paul rings a bell sitting on the side, and they walk around the ring looking at each other, pacing around the ring, Paul London came at Evan quick and tried to give a kick, but Evan jumped over it... when Evan jumped back down he got another kick to the leg and it hit Evan right in the knee and Evan fell to the mat, and Paul ran over to the ropes and ran back over to Evan and performed a front-flip and dived at Evan.... but Evan slid away from Paul, Paul jumped right back up and Evan jumped up and kicked and turned his body around smacking Paul right in the mouth, Evan hit a quick DDT and smacked Paul's head into the mat... Evan climbed up onto the rope and bounced on the rope and jumped off and dived at London and smacked him right in the stomach, Evan climbed up onto the top of the turnbuckle and sat patiently, he jumped up and it felt like everything was in slow motion as Evan jumped off and turned around and did a back-flip in mid air and touched his feet as he turned around and touched his feet as he flipped back around and dived at Paul London now and everything went back in to normal speed, as Evan fell on Paul London's stomach and he hit his finishing move he went in for the pin and got the 1...2...3! Evan beat the legend of WWE high fliers he just beat Paul London! Evan slid outside of the ring and wiped the sweat off of his forehead and took another big gulp of his water...[/color][/font] PAUL LONDON Your real good kid...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Thanks man I gotta go real soon, it was a pleasure working with you...[/color][/color][/font] PAUL LONDON Alright, I'll see you around soon kid...[/color][/color][/font] CHILLING WITH AN OLD FRIEND[/color][/font] Evan was driving home from just hanging out with Paul... but then he remembered he wanted to talk to someone before he had to do his autograph signing, it was an old friend he was driving listening to the radio and was listening to Hot Mess - Cobra Starship, he really like the song and started kind of dancing to it until he realized he looked kind of dumb... he hoped no one saw it... he pulled into a little neighborhood, looked kind of messy, lot of rocker people here... he knew were his buddy lived so he pulled in to the little court were his house was... Evan got out of his car and locked it... he was wearing some casual clothes because before he left he took a shower, he walked in the house and his friend... was Shannon Moore! He knew everyone thought Shannon was a freak but he was really a nice, chilled out guy... Shannon saw Evan and had a huge smirk on his face...[/font] SHANNON MOORE Matty! How's it goin' brother![/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Pretty good Shannon! Pretty good! Got signed back onto TNA my man![/color][/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE You serious... that sucks man![/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Why?[/color][/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE Because I don't wanna steal your limelight because I'm there too! Ha ha! I got you...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Ha ha! You had me there for a second Shannon... thought you were about to like beat me or something![/color][/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE Nah, hey I just picked up this new game ... you might not know it but it's called Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, thought I could kick your ass real quick if you wanted too...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE You wish you could beat me little man! Haha put it in! I'm ready to kick some Punk Prince ass![/color][/color][/font] Shannon put the game into his Playstation 3 and the game started up they started to chat about TNA and how bad they wanted to get back at the WWE, Shannon pressed start on the game and Shannon played with his created superstar and Evan played with Evan, ha ha... the match started and Evan started to win but out of no where Shannon said OH MY GOD! Evan said, 'WHAT!', and Shannon didn't respond and he was really pinning Evan on the game, and he won their match... Evan said, 'Your a cheater ha ha!', After that Shannon shut off the game and they started having a serious chat about the WWE...[/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE Man, we need to get back at that Vince McMahon for letting go of some of his greatest high-fliers....[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE How about we just compete extra hard, to get better ratings, maybe we could team up sometime, that would be like an awesome combination right there! [/color][/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE Thats a pretty good idea right there Matty boy![/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE I know, but I really don't want to get back at WWE I want to bring us to the WWE and then we could surpass them...[/color][/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE Thats a pretty good idea too, but not what I was thinking..[/color][/color][/font] Evan always knew Shannon was competitive but if he got released he gets crazy with it like he is doing now... He really wanted to get back at the WWE and I really just wanted to bring TNA up to the WWE not really surpass them... but Shannon got's his way and I'll respect that.... Anyways, Shannon goes to the bathroom and Evan gets up and starts looking at some old pictures of Shannon on his walls, some of the pictures included him training with Matt and Jeff Hardy, a picture of his mother and father, and he looked alot like them... his mom looked really pretty... Shannon came out of the bathroom and they started talking again...[/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE Well, I gotta go real soon, I'm meetin' up with Jeff so we can hang out... sorry if I'm cuttin' you out but I gotta train...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Oh, its fine Shannon, I was about to go too... see ya Shannon, my main man...[/color][/color][/font] SHANNON MOORE See ya' Matty...[/color][/color][/font] The two hug real quick and Evan walks out to his car and starts to drive off for his next part in his day... it was going pretty well, as long as it can go this way for the rest of the day... Next stop: Autograph Signing![/font] AUTO GRAPH SIGNING[/color][/font] Evan pulled up outside of the arena, and security surrounded Evan as he got out of the car, he could still see the fan's he was just protected, he saw many female fan's screaming stuff such as 'I LOVE YOU EVAN!' and all that other stuff, he kissed his fingers and let out his famous peace sign he got up to the table and there was a whole lot of fans there... he was signing autographs with Christopher Daniels, someone that he knew pretty well... he sat down at the table, and the people started coming up... lots of people came up but then came the girl that screamed, 'I LOVE YOU EVAN', and she was so excited... she had an Evan Bourne shirt on...[/font] EXCITED FAN OH MY GOD!!!! ITS REALLY YOU! WILL YOU SIGN MY SHIRT AND MY POSTER![/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Sure!!! Your really excited aren't you![/color][/color][/font] Evan signed her shirt and poster while they started talking again...[/color][/font] EXCITED FAN OH YES! I am SOOOO excited! I've been watching you since Ring of Honor and I always thought you were hot...[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Well, your the first person who's said that all day, so how about I give you a kiss! For a very special fan...[/color][/color][/font] Evan kissed the girl right on the cheek and she screamed and she ran off the stage yelling 'EVAN BOURNE JUST KISSED ME!' He laughed at her and it was near the end of the Autograph signing, and there was only a few fan's left, and he signed their autographs... he was next to the arena of his match and he decided how about he goes and looks at what the arena is like... Evan walked away from the autograph signing, and sneaked into the arena... he went to the part were the TNA show is gonna be at...He sat at the very top of the arena, which people call the nosebleed's, he looked down at the ring and he knew this was his chance, this was his chance to prove himself to everyone, his partner was his old WWE buddy, Rey Mysterio... would they have enough experience to beat the Motor City Machine Guns and Legacy? Evan never knew but he was in the arena by himself so he walked down the whole flight of stairs and finally came through to backstage, and he came from the entrance and imagined fans selling out the arena and his music playing, and him coming out next to Rey Mysterio and clapping the fan's hands, and running into the ring... he knew this was his destiny this was his career... he was supposed to be a wrestler and it was finally time for him to shine, he was ready to leave the arena he was ready to go do some other things before his match... he had to be at the arena at 7:30, he walked to the middle of the ramp and looking straight down and saying... 'I Made It'... he walked through the entrance and walked through the backstage area, through all the locker room's he walked through the whole backstage trying to get the vibe of the new arena... Evan knew that he had to impress alot of people in this night, he was probably paranoid but he wanted to be perfect in his match-up, he was hoping Rey was thinking the same thing, but Evan had his eye's set on the prize... the spot in Ultimate X match, Evan thought he would do wonderful in that match as he brought back the High flying style... Evan thought he was the best, he thought he was kinda getting to cocky... but it might just be him... Evan checked his phone and knew it was kinda late and time to go home for a little while and wait until my match... Evan got out of the ring and walked up the ramp one more time before his match... he walked back through the entrance to the arena and walked out to his car and got in it... he sat there for a second and then turned it on, and started to drive to his house...[/font] INTERVIEW WITH EVAN -- IN RING PROMO[/color][/font] Evan Bourne returned to the arena a few hours after he had already been here, he sat on the side while Lauren fixed her hair and her clothes, she turned over to him and asked if he was ready, but he really wasn't paying attention... but he said yes... the camera's clicked on and Evan made sure he looked okay and she started to speak....[/font] LAUREN I am here with my guest at the time, some of you might know him from the WWE, or some may remember him from TNA a couple years back... my guest is... 'The Rookie Daredevil'... Evan Bourne[/color][/color][/font] Lauren stared at the camera as Evan walked onto the screen, and the fans cheered loud, as they saw Evan had finally decided to join TNA...[/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Hello, Everyone in the iMPACT Zone![/color][/color][/font] LAUREN Evan why did you decide to join Total Nonstop Action?[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Well, lots of people have asked me that question and I joined TNA because it just felt like the right decision, and all of my old WWE buddies are here now, and they all told me to join, so I left the ghost town of WWE and decided to come of to my natural habitat...[/color][/color][/font] LAUREN Evan, how do you feel about your first match back in the iMPACT zone?[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE I feel like I was booked in the right match against some new talent and some old WWE talent, and I'm sure Mr. Hogan made the right decision on this match, because he has some of the greatest competitors in the world in this match, and it's gonna be a good competition for a guy like Alex Shelley facing a man like me, Evan Bourne, I really can't wait for this match, it's gonna be good for the ratings, and with this I believe we could surpass WWE with this match and the double main-event could really help us with this ratings war...[/color][/color][/font] LAUREN Only a few more questions, but what do you think about your place on the card?[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Well, it's not the highest I've ever been, but it's a start for a new promotion...[/color][/color][/font] LAUREN Last question, do you have anything to say to your opponent's and partners in your match?[/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Well, actually I do have something to say to in the match up... Rey Mysterio, you better bring your A-Game, because if you do bring your A-Game, we will have this match in the bag, no doubt, oh and every else in the match, you'll get my remarks right before the match[/color][/color][/font] LAUREN Well, Evan thanks for coming to this interview and talking to the TNA universe, we wish you luck in your match![/color][/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE No problem, I hope everyone in the crowd is 'bourne' to be thrilled, because thats whats gonna happen when Evan Bourne steps into the ring... and is ready to compete for his spot in the Ultimate X match... because everyone out there and everyone in the match knows... I'm ready to get this push to the top, because I'm a top competitor! Thank you Lauren for letting me join you in your interview...[/color][/color][/font] The screen cuts off of Lauren and Evan and goes to Taz and Mike Tenay, and they look astonished, after the words of Evan Bourne... they start to talk...[/color][/font] TAZ Wow, Mike did you just hear what Evan Bourne said?[/color][/color][/font] MIKE TENAY Yeah, I did Taz, it looked like he really had to get something off of his chest, but anyways lets go over this match again... First match, Motor City Machine Guns are going to face off against Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio, also facing up against Legacy, which includes Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes... that is gonna be a good match! Personally, I think Legacy might have this in the bag Taz, what about you?[/color][/color][/font] TAZ I would go with the obvious which is the Motor City Machine Guns, but I'm gonna go with the underdogs on this one, I think Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio might have this one in the bag, I always have to go with the physical underdogs, but I do have to agree this is gonna be one good match-up... It's just gonna like blow my mind away Mike![/color][/color][/font] MIKE TENAY Yeah, but what about the next ma--[/color][/color][/font] As Mike Tenay was talking, music hit the speakers loudly and it started playing Evan Bourne's theme song... "Born to Win", out of the curtains came 'The Rookie Daredevil' Evan Bourne, he was clapping and throwing peace sign's to the fans as he walked out, he walked up the steps and into the ring, he had a microphone in his hand so he was ready to speak to everyone in the iMPACT Zone and he they knew and he knew what he was gonna talk about... his opponents, this was gonna be pretty good! Evan put to the microphone up to his lips and started to speak...[/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE Hello IMPACT ZONEEEE! HOW S EVERYONE DOING TONIGHT![/color][/color][/font] The iMPACT Zone screamed after he asked how they were feeling, they were all feeling great and Evan's vibe just made them feel right at home in the iMPACT Zone... many people quit attending WWE events because most of the stars came over to TNA and now everyone knew this was the place to be, Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, and Eric Bischoff running the management... TNA was gonna soar straight to the top of the mountain and WWE would fall right... down... to the... bottom![/color][/font] EVAN BOURNE First, I wanna talk directly to Alex Shelley, I know your in the back and we go back long days my brother, I mean back to tiny organizations! We used to kick ass, but now that day has come where I came over to your brand, and I'm about ready to kick your ass man! You, Sabin, and Legacy don't know how bad I want in on this Ultimate X match, you don't know how it's like a path now... my first milestone in my career will to get in that Ultimate X match one way or another... Oh and Sabin I don't know much about you but just like Shelley and Legacy... your going down with them... straight to the bottom of the pile is were dirt-bags like you, Shelley and DiBiase and Rhodes go... because you guys think your the best in the business but newsflash! Your not because after I kick you guys all around this arena and wipe the floors with your behinds, I'll have to send you packin' all by your self... the Motor City Machine Gun's road... it ends here tonight! Rhodes, DiBiase you better watch your back because tonight... your going down![/color][/color][/font] Evan threw the microphone down and started preparing for the match in his corner as he waited for Rey Mysterio's music to play... Evan was very confident...[/color][/font] EPILOGUE[/color][/font] Evan Bourne: competing in his first match was gonna be a tough challenge, but many more tough challenges will come... a day will come where, it's gonna be two times the challenge but that will be no problem, because Evan is always ready... inside Evan's head while he was talking, he was feeling cocky but in his heart, he was feeling kind of greedy, but Evan was ready... Evan was ready for the push to the moon... Evan was ready for his first show to impress....[/font] OOC: I wanna thank Shev for helping be through this whole roleplay LOL if it werent for her i would of stopped at 100 words LOL... P.S this is my longest roleplay ever!!!!!!!!!![/align]

The only problem I have with Shawn is that for "Elite" Articulation he can't do his signature pose to any extent that looks natural the way DA figures could.

I'm still on the fence with Elites (just don't see the point to having so many different styles, RA, DA, Mattel Basics, TTLs, BNB...) but I just might get that HBK and the upcoming Kane to see what all the fuzz is about. Am I a bit off topic? At least I'm not sharing my Evan Bourne role playing fantasies with the world... EXCITED FAN OH MY GOD!!!! ITS REALLY YOU! WILL YOU SIGN MY SHIRT AND MY POSTER! EVAN BOURNE Sure!!! Your really excited aren't you! Sounds like corny 70's porn movie dialogue... You're really excited, aren't you?
