His comment in one of them is "This Is My New Buddy I Just Bought Him." So Im Guessing Mattel Never Sent Him One . He Had To Pay For A Mini Him......Weird i think it's pretty normal that wrestlers don't get their figures for free from the toy company i've read several stories of wrestlers not being able to find all their figures. lance storm i think said he had a real hard time finding his CS one, and another wrestler (i forget who) wasn't even aware they had made a certain few figures of him until a fan brought them to a signing. i think lance storm also commented that he got a funny look from the cashier in TRU when he did eventually find and buy his own figure lol. tazz also went nuts when he was how bad one of his figures came out, when he saw it in a store. basically Jakks just stuck a crappy old TTL Tazz repaint in a new package. despite the fact that the rest of the series was RA style. i believe it was partially because of his complaints to Jakks about how bad that figure looked that we got an RA tazz exclusive. so there's a few examples of superstars who clearly were NOT sent their figure for free. on another side note i also remember someone from toybiz saying they sent the proto for the traci brooks figure to her for approval or something, and she never sent it back lol.

Assuming it is really him, he is just excited he finally has his own action figure It's really him.

If I wanted to be a pro wrestler (which I haven't besides when I was maybe 9-10), I'd flaunt the hell out of my first mass retail figure too (unless Jakks made a lame one). Its a representation of his success. With how big wrestling is in Japan, now that he's in the most successful and recognized company in the world in his profession, it wouldn't surprise me if he pridefully walks around with it in his pocket sometimes to score some points with the ladies.
It would definitely be a big "conversation piece" for him. Now I have this image in my head of him sitting next to a hot chick at some random bar, he puts the figure on the bar between their drinks, she looks at it, looks at him, then back at the figure, and she immediately thinks he's batcrap nuts. Then he explains in his broken engrish that its him and that he's a wrestler on TV, but she thinks that he made the fig himself...so she nervously says "thats great", takes a big gulp of her drink with her hands profoundly shaking and excuses herself, trying not to make any sudden movements.

Ray_Makowski Raymond Makowski by YoocrapatsuWWE @ @yocrapatsuwwe I think something is waiting for you at the arena...
Seems the guys at Mattel sent him a new one to the arena they are at today. Yoshi is really funny on here and you should maryse's tweets back to him on there. Really keeping up with character lol

lol oh man thats great. it seems most superstars don't acknowledge they have figures, it's nice to see one enjoying his. cant wait to get his new elite, it's my favorite in the set!

If they do an on air feud over who broke his figure it would be awesome. Ryder is my suspect number one. Hope he gets his new elite to replace it.

Kharma wrote the following on her twitter:
"Who killed Laura Palmer? Who shot JR? Who stole @yoshishead from @yocrapatsuwwe ? For the record, I have an alibi when this went down."
