Didn't get a chance to take pics yesterday when I got these, but I did now, LOL.

**NOTE**
I just pasted a link to the album because I don't feel like fighting with Imageshack today. I know I registered, but I don't remember the password. I clicked Forgot Password and it never sends me a link to reset it. So I just added them to Photobucket like my L5 buys on Tuesday.
Anyways, yesterday in the mail, I received Elite 8 Drew McIntyre, Elite 9 Luke Gallows, and Basic 9 Natalya. All 3 are great figures, been looking over and over for Drew and *NEVER* found Elite 8, so no Drew ever for me. My friend in Louisiana grabbed him for me from a fresh case when he went looking at Walmart one night after work...
Drew is amazing. I love the scan, it captures him moreso than the good scan on the Elimination Chamber figure, which is what I had before this. I was going to swap heads, but I decided that the head on the EC Drew is going to be used to make a custom of an indy wrestler in the area named Cory Kastle. It already looks similar, so no tooling of the head will be required, at least in my eyes. Drew is wearing his white attire with blue X's outlined in silver with silver studs throughout. Same color scheme on his kneepads. His boots are plain black, and while it would have been nice to have the straps painted white, the boots are fine. He comes with a current era Intercontinental Championship, and that belt is a thing of absolute beauty! You can even clearly read the text on each of the plates that has some on it. It seriously looks like a mini-replica.
Up next, Luke Gallows, the former member of the Straight Edge Society. The scan looks to be the same as the figure that came with Punk in the 2pk from Series 7. It may be painted a little different, but to me, it didn't look 100% exactly the same. Luke is wearing his common SES attire. Black jean shorts, a red tanktop with a Straight Edge logo on the front, and SES near the middle-to-top of his back. His vest is black with SES written in white on the lower right hand side - his right. The back has a big Straight Edge Society logo on it, and he is wearing a black beanie hat that says S.E.S. and L.G. underneath.
Last but not least, we have Natalya. I think my area got skipped on getting anything from Basic 9 in, because I never saw one thing from B9, especially the one per case Natalya. The scan did not look that great when I first saw it, but it's one of those situations where the scan looks alot better in person. At least to me it does. She has the pink strand in her hair as well. Her attire has mainly a white and pink scheme, the bikini top underneath is black with one pink Hart Dynasty maple leaf logo on it. The pink and white part over top does come off, but I wasn't bothering with that, because it looked like a pain in the ass to mess with. Tights are white with a design like that of Bret Hart's tights in pink down the side and 3 Hart Dynasty maple leaf logos down each leg. Boots are pink and black with the same Hart Dynasty maple leaf logo on the kickpad. A much better representation for Nattie than the Jakks 2 pack with The Anvil.
If anyone can't see the pics, lemme know, and I'll try to resize and put them in my original post here.
