I found an Elite 12 Justin Gabriel the other day at Meijer. This was never a figure I intended to get, but I actually like the head sculpt and overall look of the fig. However, I'm on a budget so I can't just pick up any figure I want at any time.
I've also been torn about picking up an E15 Evan Bourne. Again, not a figure I intended to buy, but as a collector who loves tag teams, I think it may be cool to have him displayed next to the E17 Kofi when it's out.
I'd love to hear from those who have these figures. Any regrets in getting them? Happy with them?

Hmm, I don't have any of them. But I would definitely get "little Evan Bourne" for the fact that he has cool attire that matches the new Kofi and comes with one half if the tag team titles!
But the ultimate decision comes back to you

I'd get Bourne and try and track down basic 19 Gabriel. Much prefer the colours on the basic.

I have both, I think Gabriel would be a good choice because he's on the way out and who knows if he'll ever get another elite figure.
However, I think Evan Bourne is the better buy though because he comes with a shirt AND a painted tag title to pair with the one in E17, which imo is cooler than just a "Corre" shirt.
I'm sure you could pick up Gabriel loose later on and not be at much of a loss if he doesn't have the shirt unless you're a diehard Corre fan.

Good point, I don't actually know if he's gone but I haven't seen him wrestle for a while so I was assuming, guess I could say the same for leetle evan barn. |

Gabriel has been paired up with Tyson Kidd lately as a new tag team. Don't believe they have a name but they dress in similar colors and look pretty solid as a team. Appreciate all the feedback. I think I may actually pick up both. Jobbers or not, if the figures look good, I'll give them a shot. |

Although I don't like screaming head-scans, I like his attire in this figure |

But if they were both on the way out and OP wants to buy one out if the two, Leetle Evan Bourne would be a better choice because he seemed more relevant in his career that Gabriel, but that's just my thought. And as a matter of a fact, J Gab has been on smackdown in the past few weeks with Tyson Kidd. But regarding Leetle Evan Bourne, I'm not sure, I heard he was coming back, but last week WWE came here to Sydney and I bought the program guide and Evan is not in it, and they had everyone in it, including Dean Ambrose, who is yet to debut. So take it for what it's worth |

They're putting Dean Ambrose in programs already? That could be a very good sign.

I have the Bourne Elite and will be getting Kofi to team them together and have both tag straps, also have the Gabriel basic 19, really cool pink trunks with blue. So yeah Id go for those too if you can cover the cost

Hands down Gabriel, the attire is nice and is on the rise with Tyson Kid as the tag team division is getting competitive, plus you can always swap the screaming head with one of his newer basics. The Bourne fig is pretty easy to find and is only good for the belt, and I've seen it on Ebay for $8 shipped.
