Hi guys! With the recent findings of the LoTR Series available at Smyths I had to check it out. Only moving to Yorkshire about 10 months ago, I haven't tried to find a Smyth's before now and luckily there is one in South Sheffield. And I have to say, it's now my favourite toy store!! Floor to ceiling with Toys, it's amazing. Anyways, they had all of LoTR Series one, plus DI Series 1, and DI 2 packs series one. And loads of Mattels also. I picked up Hogan, Jarrett and Sting. I was tempted by Nash, but decided to pick up DI Sting instead. Ill get Nash another time. Am not really interested in Angle already having his RA version and preferring the 'smirking' scan. So, onto the pics. Apologies for the poor quality of the MOC images, they were taken on my phone in the car. Enjoy, please comment if you have an opinion. Thanks all. MOC Group Shot:  Hogan:     Jarrett:    Sting:      LoTR Group Shot:  DI Sting:   |

Congrats on having such a nice haul. "Surfer" Sting looks pretty good. I plan on getting one eventually.

FINALLY MOC pics of Jarrett.
I really like that Hogan. I'll definitley buy it.
Jarrett is cool, but rather plain.
Sting is awesome, a must buy for me.

You limey bastard.
You got an RA Sting.
We may never get that here in the US.

The Jarrett headscan looks identical to his DI headscan, and the Hogan headscan looks like it's the same headscan from the Rocky series. Other than that they look okay,

I don't think Jarrett's head is too big. It looks right in that picture. If anything I'd say the thick hair might make it look larger, but the face looks to be in scale with the body.

It is a little big, compared to the smaller body, but looks pretty good. I'm happy with it. Very pleased to have all these figures in RA form. The Hogan is possibly my favourite Hogan figure. |

Jarrett and Sting look amazing!!! Finally, I get to see what Jarrett looks like. He is the one I am most excited about. Can't wait to add him to my NWA fed.
Hogan looks good, but I have no need whatsoever for him.
Thanks for the pics....

The Jarrett headscan looks identical to his DI headscan, and the Hogan headscan looks like it's the same headscan from the Rocky series. Other than that they look okay, yeah they do but thats ok with me  the hogan one is the same as the thunder lips one but i can see why they did that... his appearence in rocky 3 in 1982 and this japan hulk which i think captures his look from his trips over there in 83 and 84 his look obviously isnt going to change much. anyone notice the proto had red knee pads? the ut of pakage one has black? either way he wore both so im happy  atimmo, i left karma for you...thanks for taking these pics... im even more excited now and cant wait for mine to come in! they all look great! im glad i went with my gut and got 3 jarrets... while he is a great likeness of jarreet very early on in his carear i had planned to use him for a few customs... one of which is a kerry von erich i think i can make that jarret head work for him... but if the mattel von erichs heads look as good as they do in the protos ill drop some cash on them take the heads and acessories and give the bodies to my nephew since i have no use for there bodies... extra thanks for the NWA like match pics..and love your arena! wars print outs to? |

Is Jeff a variant or something? No other figure i've seen had that sticker, hope you didn't open something valuable for the time being

like the jarrett a little too far back IMO though, Love the hogan, will buy and keep in MOC. sting is the only one i originally wanted out of this series and now idk if i will get sting, if so it will be to keep in MOC, i want a verison of Sting in his black/white attire and white facepaint in RA/RI to open and use in my fed. maybe USA will have RI1 by the end of the year, or they'll make an old sting when he first started to use this in wcw in the LOTR line [with a nice black jacket thats NOT molded on and a baseball bat]
