One day the titles of my threads involving receivings won't be so punny, but today is not that day! Just got this in the mail from Hulkamania4Life  With Titlebelt from Mr. Perfect figure:  The old school IC title is my favorite and looks great on this figure. $18 shipped, I figure that's not bad at all, especially since this is the lighter one and harder to find I do believe. UPDATE! Went to KMart, used a $10 coupon to get these two figures, and in the process, got ANOTHER $10 coupon lol  I've been wanting and needing Ziggler for a while but been holding off since he's warming pegs here. Hadn't seen this Rey in stores and since its an older series, I know I'll have trouble finding him again in the future, so I got both  ANOTHER UPDATE! I did some wheeling and dealing and got these figures today. Not a fan of either guy, but I'm trying to get every Elite, and these figures are actually pretty good:  A few size comparisons:    What would probably happen if we ever saw Big Show vs Hornswoggle:  |

Absolutely terrific figure. One of my favorite Mattels TBH. Enjoy. Love the Perfect belt too.

I have both versions and I think it's (bright red coat) is the nicer figure.

Compliments the outfit better. This might be my favorite Mattel figure, not sure Can't wait for an Elite with a bearded scan |

I believe about 2,000 of the variant were made. |

The lighter coat came with the figure, then they switched to the darker coat, that's exactly what it says there. |

Cool shots , that picture of Big Show Vs Hornswoggle makes me think that same scale could be Giant Gonzales vs Ricky Steamboat , giant gonzales at an extra 7" taller than the big show...

Yay having a job and finding good deals lol It was funny, because my signature after I got my first fig was a pic of that one figure (Series 6 CM Punk) and it said "My WWE Elite Collection... never said it was impressive" |
