So I went to a local indy show last night to my favorite company here in NJ, JAPW! (Jersey All Pro Wrestling) The main event was Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Homicide (AMAZING MATCH and I met liger and saw homicide for the 7th time) anywho, my dad decides to get a bin full of old WCW san francisco toymakers figs, talking WCW figs, and WWF VCR games. he brings it up to a guy we normally deal with that is at the show and and sells figures and autographed 8x11 promo pics. I saw RA 11.5 Haas, CS8 Red and Yellow Hogan Autographed joe pic but then saw Elite 3 John Cena and Shawn Michaels. I honestly was not much of a big mattel fan at the beginning of this year but man, to see how well mattel improved I had to get them. My dad was saying "I think your pushing your luck he may not accept this deal" so i said eh its worth a try. we went to the guy with this stuff and we showed him the stuff and he said "i gotta be honest this stuff is pretty outdated but i like you guys so it's a deal. you can take another picture while your at it" so that being said I also got a autographed hollywood hogan promo pic. my regular camera isn't working the greatest but as u can see i got a shot of HBK and Cena in my sig.
(sorry for this long story...kudos to anyone that is still reading lol) overall, the point of this is, I really am excited that Mattel has stepped it up compared to what came out in january and even though I am gonna stick with jakks mainly cuz i love TNA, I am proud to say that I am on the mattel bandwagon and will definitely get some more figures down the road such as elites and legends and even entrance greats!
