Picked up a few new figs. Since i been caught up just about on current roster stars, and am currently awaiting Elite 11 and 12 Pre Orders, thought i would take this chance to start going back and collecting legends i missed out on. Received my RSC order yesterday of Vader and Rick martel. And just today received The Bushwhackers off Amazon. Took some pics to share with everyone and posed up a flashback tag team match between the 4 lol was fun for sure.
IT'S TIME..IT''S TIME... IT'S.. VADER..TIME!!!! lol been wanting this fig since i heard he was released but was just starting collecting then and trying too get the current roster and it delayed picking him up til now. I'm happy with the figure overall. I love how mattel captures the bigger guys size, and still keeps it in elite form with out having to change the stomache or anything. I had Kamala for a while so this is my second legends big guy fig. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the removable masks. It's great you can cycle between WCW Black, and his famous Red one or take em all off and wrestle with none at all. This is why i love mattel and there legends. The cape is kinda cool too. Makes me think of his WCW days for sure. Some of you are prob lucky enough too have the Jakks classic superstars Mastadon Mask that he comes with in some too make this figure even more complete. Vader is def at the top of my likes right now legends wise. Maybe because he is new for now, but i like him alot.
Rick "The Model" Martel was def one of my favorites when first getting into wrestling. Not a top favorite or nothing but his model gimmick during the gimmick years was excellent. I had the hasbro figure when i was younger and it was one of my fav hasbro's too own then. Never got the Jakks versions, but i'm happy mattel nailed it. Glasses and jacket especially make the figure. Oh and cant forget the bow tie either. That, too me, really makes this figure The Model.
Bushwhacker Luke. Another figure i love as well currently. When they first dropped and i seen them at TRU, i was happy to see them made, but i was unsure i even wanted them. As time went on i kept eyeing them up on the internet and the more i got up close looks at them and checked them out, the more i really desired too own them. Besides, i had the exact hasbro versions of these figs too and well i think thats another reason i love Mattel is because they bring is 10 times better versions of those hasbro figures. I use too own all the hasbros growing up but later grew outta it and got rid of or lost them all. Now, thanks too mattel, i am back at collecting better than i was before and loving it. Bushwhackers make me think of those happy young child days playing with the hasbro's and having such a good time and not a care in the world. Luke and Butch are def at the tops of my Loves list
Cant believe these guys never held WWE Gold. They were such a popular tag team in the gimmick years with all the young kids. Hall Of Fame in the future maybe??
