Went to Walmart with the parents for the weekly grocery run and I was on the hunt for Basic 5 Melina. So, I slid do the wrestling isle and looked at the peg and nothing at all looked new. I look down at the shelf below me and I see Basic 5 Mike Knox and the Hurricane. So then I start looking around and about a foot down I see pink... low and behold, Melina! I was like . YES!! So, I snatch up Melina, take her to the cart and dad rolls his eyes because I have Jakks Melina figure, get over it dad, this is Mattel and it's the $h!t! So I go back to the wrestling isle and look through the other figs and they had a 1/1000 Hurricane figure, #480, but I didn't get it because I now have car insurance and that good ol life stuff to pay for, joy! I didn't take pics of Hurricane either because I didn't get him so I didn't see the point in taking pic of a figure in stores, I don't care how many no pics/no proof I get about the Hurricane, I saw him and didn't get him. I don't care. I don't have a job so the parent's have to pay for the insurance. I have little spending money of my own, from chores and yard sale money where I sell stuff, so I have to watch my budget. Anyway, here is the pics of Melina; Leave comments!

Thanks!
It is a really great figure. I was so skeptical at the proto but the real thing is great! I'm still up to date with every Mattel Diva! I have Mickie James, Melina, Beth[2pck.] and Beth[RR].

Looks good, but something about the eyes look off. The attire coulda been better too, but it looks like a decent figure. And it can do the splits.

It seems like everyone is finding these except for me. I have 4 Walmart's within 45 minutes of me and none of them have Basic 5. Melina looks so awesome I wish I could find her and Hurricane.

WOW! Congrats on finding her. I got mine like a few days ago. I love the Melina I think it turned out great. I rate the figure a 8.6 due to the top issue.

He also doesn't like the fact I get more than one of some people. Like, I have Jakks Melina but he thinks it's dumb because I got Mattel Melina as well. He'll get over it, my money, not his I don't need his support on Diva figs, my cousin helps me there. She was on search for Melina as well! She helps me all the time (:

My dad doesn't know who I have, he always says "Do you have him?", in this case I said, "It's a her", (he didn't even look he just said that), He goes, "Do you have her, then?" I said, "Jakks, Yupp, Mattel, nope!" And stuck her in the cart, lol

that figure has got to be my least favorite that mattel released. the attire is off and the face is horrid.
