Finally, Some Luck! and Mattel QC Story May 3, 2011 18:23:36 GMT -5

Hey guys, ive been driving around aimlessly the last 3 weeks looking for new figures as the latest thing ive seen is Elite 7. Im an elevator mechanic and i was driving from one job to another today between mt vernon, ny and yonkers, ny and i happened to be passing the yonkers toys r us. ive been there a bunch of times to some success so i figured id run in quickly. I was totally shocked to see The entire basic 10 set out this morning. I got Ryder on ebay and wasnt interested in anyone other than Barrett. I grabbed all 5 wades off the rack and started scoping them out. I planned on getting 2 but i really had no choice. One had a huge black scuff on his ear, one had a big blotch of hair missing on his right side and one had no left eyebrow. the two remaining ones were fine so i grabbed them. I feel really bad for the guy who finds the last barrett and sees he is missing an eyebrow. Also upon opening him he didnt fit in the bubble and his feet are pushed through the bottom, anyone else get this. Anyway im done rambling. heres the feet photo, a regular photo and my half a$$ attempt at his debut attire with a john cena chain and undertakers overcoat. thanks guys

And might I suggest to use the E2 Hardy coat rather than the Taker coat. It'd look better.

If you opened him, i guess it does not matter that his feet poked thru the plastic ya know lol but good find. I am hoping to hear of Wade in elite down the road ill def scoop him up, also still looking for the Zack Ryder Elite, dont expect any luck finding him til prob June in retail... i love the Wade figure in general tho.. mattel really does an amazing job with these figures, i never thought i would see a day where i would see excellent detailed figures such as these guys.. i only started collecting the beginning of this year and the Best of 2010 Elite set got me into it and hooked.. that Rey Mysterio with his over cap skull mask got me addicted lol.. how is the tattoo detail on wades arm? looks pretty good from what i can see. How about the logo on the back of his tites?

I want a Barret figure pretty badly, but I'm going to wait for the PPV8 version. This is one is still good though.

Great likeness. The QC is a joke. I have told my stories numerous times about terrible QC, including a Carlito with a missing eyebrow. I have been looking everywhere for Barrett, and would have to grudgingly pass if I saw one with any of the issues you listed. 3/5, damn, that's bad.

I'm heading to one in an hour. OT----My company actually makes parts for elevators like PCBs and small subassemblies.
