Well its been a busy week with finding some new rumblers in my area and then i had the chance to travel down to indianapolis with my fiance to check out a few stores and found the new wrestlemania figures. I lucked out and found all of the basics and all but the Miz of the elites so if anyone has an extra they wouldn't mind selling let me know.
Anyways from the looks of what happened at toys r us it was my destiny much like Alberto Del Rio's to get the Wrestlemania Basic figures. The toys r us truck broke down and was supposed to arrive thursday they sent a truck to retrieve what was on it and head to the store with their shipment and with that luck they stocked them saturday morning so i lucked out big time. Especially considering from what the case breakdown was as there were only 1 Del Rio & 1 Christian per case from what i could see.
Well here are some detailed pictures with some reviews.
First Up Rumblers Series 3 & Summerslam Heritage Great Khali 1/1000 - The Khali was cool and got him at target for 6.99 what made it nice is i was at the Summerslam that Khali is based off of. Now to the Rumblers
Miz - Nice Repaint, Kofi - Rerelease, Orton - Rerelease, Bourne - Rerelease, Satino - Easily one of my favorite rumblers his character was made for this line awesome with the Cobra pose, Swagger - Cool figure nice likeness,
Goldust - Another person made for this line a flawless rumbler, Cena - A nice variation with an entirely new body, Sheamus - Cool to see an entirely new sculpt on him as well, Morrison - A repaint but tired of the glasses so its nice a new one without is coming soon.
Wrestlemania 27 Elites
Kofi Kingston - Very cool attire like the Ghostbusters/Slimer attire and the bright green with pink is nice and pops out from the others. Nice detail including the black on the outlines of the shoes under the kick pads and the detail on the back of his knee pads. Overall a great figure of kofi and easily my favorite elite Kofi.
The Undertaker - Like others have said a repaint of elite 1 but here is why i recommend this one the jacket is by far the most flexible taker jacket yet and is worth picking the figure up just for the jacket alone. You can even move his arms out while wearing the jacket unlike elite 1 in the comparison picture below.
Wrestlemania 27 Basics
Randy Orton - Cool that they added the knee tape and a pretty good figure with the short nearly bald hair.
John Morrison - This is easily the best figure JoMo has had put out by any company. The new leg style they used makes the figure actually stand properly and the pants are nicely detailed. This figure is my sleeper from this set and is probably my 2nd favorite from the WM27 basic lineup.
HHH - A cool figure based off a great match. No complaints here.
John Cena - Updated in red has the smiling scan which i prefer.
Christian - (Face picture above) - A good figure but just not accurate to wrestlemaina. He should have had the gold with silver outlines where this figure has an orange/red tone with silver outlines. Still a good figure just not 100% accurate.
And last but not least "Albert of The River" Alberto Del Rio - My first Del Rio and it doesn't disappoint. He is highly detailed the scan is great. Tattoos are spot on and the attire is a nice yellowish gold which makes it stand out. Overall an excellent figure and the best from this set.
