picked up the remaining figures from Elite 14 that I needed this past week, I already bought Booker, Bossman and Del Rio from Ringside when they went up for preorder months ago, but I passed on Rock, Cena and Taker hoping they'd be easy to find at retail.
picked up Cena because of the new elite torso although there are more red armband Cena's then I can possibly count at this point.
Wish the Rock elite had a goatee but sadly we will have to wait
and as for Undertaker, really just picked it up for the entrance coat, look's great.
also FINALLY found Mark Henry, man these build a figure things were brutal to fully complete, love the attire on this Henry figure.
someone on the boards bought spice racks at Target and put their figures on it, thought it looked pretty awesome, so I went out to Target and picked 2 of them up for myself, 2 of these were less than the price of those deluxe Mattel stands, and I managed to get 48 wrestlers on them...
here are some recent Fix ups I've done, got caught up in the Brock Lesnar hoopla like most, so I went out and made a Brock fix up to pass the time until Mattel makes 1, I don't plan on putting tattoos or anything because I can not do that kinda stuff so this is pretty basic stuff. Also made a Goldberg because the one I previously made was starting to look ugly to me after a while, I also won't be doing any tattoos for this either.
Brock Lesnar recipe
John Cena torso, Cody Rhodes elite 13 lower body with logos acetoned off, Batista elite boots and Wade Barrett forearms, Jakks Brock head
Goldberg recipe
Triple H best of PPV elite with logos acetoned off, Stone Cold Steve Austin calves and Austin boots, Undertaker MMA gloves, Jakks Goldberg head
K now on to the brand new bookcase I bought to showcase my Legends, doubles and TNA figures, for years I've been using an empty DVD shelf with limited space to showcase my legends figures, and while it was working fine, it bothered me that I couldn't totally see all the figures due to the limited space, so when I realized that I had a Staples gift card sitting around that I had forgotten about, I decided to take a trip there and picked up this great bookcase.
After picking up the bookcase I decided to do a remodel of sorts in my room by moving around most of my 8x10 autographed pictures and all my other collections (Marvel Universe, Marvel Legends, DC Universe, etc.) it was a project that took about a day to finish after trial and error with things in certain spots.
top row is mostly main-eventers and mid card guys
this shelf is dedicated to tag teams, stables, several fix ups, Heritage figures, Flashback figures, my Bret Hart collection and Macho Man collection
my doubles, I have a bunch of other doubles in a box but these are the nicest looking ones that I feel deserve a spot on the shelf
top shelf is for my Rumblers collection, my CM Punk collection and the backstage interview set which I couldn't figure out where to put until I got the bookcase
moved my Defining Moments and my Orton/Mysterio/Bryan collections over from their previous spot
my Divas finally have a proper spot in my collection, made use of some old Jakk's Divas and Mattel's to fill out this shelf
and just because the Jakks boards are pretty much dead I'll put my TNA and UFC figures here...
here are some samples of pictures I posted in the Other Figures/Collectibles thread under the Marvel Universe, Marvel Legends Reborn, DC Universe and Walking Dead figure threads, so if you guys wanna check those out you know where to find it
