---UPDATED---
Here's the S8 Kane swap with the Elite Kane hanging out with his fellow self in different attire.
---ORIGINAL POST---
At my local Fred Meyer I saw some wrestling figures marked down with a sign above saying "50% off of marked down price." I looked through and mostly saw just Kozlov/Ezekiel sets and then in the very back there were these..
I had been wanting a Santino figure since starting to convert & collect Mattel figures beginning a few weeks back. The set itself was marked from original price of $17.99 to 9.99 plus with the 50% off it came out after tax just a little over $6 for the set of Santino & Beth.
As for the Kane, he was on clearance as someone tampered with the box and the lady at the register told me that a person was caught earlier trying to take it out of its package in the bathroom, so they marked it down and he only cost me $7. So now I have two of these Elite Kane's for my collection. All in all, 3 great figures for around the price the Kane would've cost. |

Great pickups! I'm surprised they still had Series 1 Santino & Beth.

Thanks guys. I was surpised as I remember that set when it first came out, but this store is a one-stop shop store and more people go there for groceries, clothes or home type of stuff. There figures look to be rarely touched, but that works for me in this recent pick up.

We need to start doing this for each other. Bring the prices of figures down for us all! ;D Nice finds btw mate |

i dunno. i really like Kane's headscan, but the elite torso seems too skinny for him. ultimately i'd like a basic in new attire with that headscan --- that'd be sweet.
as fpr a $6 glamarella 2 pack, epic deal right there. Santino is still one of my fave mattels -- and was the first one i bought on 1-1-10.

I plan on doing that too but we havent had any modern kanes (WM26 or B8) arrive here so ive just got like 5 elite kanes sitting around.  i dunno. i really like Kane's headscan, but the elite torso seems too skinny for him. ultimately i'd like a basic in new attire with that headscan --- that'd be sweet. as fpr a $6 glamarella 2 pack, epic deal right there. Santino is still one of my fave mattels -- and was the first one i bought on 1-1-10. It looks fantastic. Credit to marino13 for these pics, his fixup looks great and its what i want to do. Also word of advice, his basics have had a poor job done on the gloves lately, so you should buy the elite and swap the head AND his glove which is painted right.  Also, i dont have the original posters name unfortunately but credit to them for this pic:  |

Good call Kaneisdaman! I will do that. I think it sucks you don't have more currently released Kane figures there yet.. :/

No worries, the basic head looks fantastic for sure, but the elite one is just incredible, its easily one of mattels top headsculpts so far. I dont know why mattel hasnt been painting kanes glove holes lately, during his world title reign he did wear tape over his right hand so there hole painted glove would have been right but the tape also extended up his wrist so he had wrist tape so without that its still technically inaccurate. But they're trying. Yeah it sucks. We never got any of the WM26 figs although they were rumoured to arrive and our distribution stopped a month and half or so ago after E6 and L3. And nothing since B6. Im hoping we get B8 here soon because im wanting to buy a bunch of new kanes to do fixups like above but also just to have kanes new attire which i currently have none of. Im hoping WM or B8 comes soon but time will tell and its looking more unlikely unfortunately. Once again though, great buys, sure your fixups will work out great. And BTW, your Gabriel custom is probably the most successful Nexus custom ive seen so far, the head is so damn accurate its amazing what you were able to do with a jericho. Excellent work! Its worthy of an actual release! |

That's really kind of you to say about my Gabriel, it means alot. I am just on a break at the moment before back to the grind of more Mattel customs sprawled out on my counter space. A Kane is in the works with the customs and should be a fun one to create.
As for the Kane swap, I think I will do that now while taking a few more minutes from painting and sculpting. Honestly though, thank you again about my Gabriel as it has had quite a bit of views. It'd be cool if everyone who had viewed left some sort of comment or if this forum had a "like" button like FB. Anyway, thanks again.
