Well yesterday I broke a rule I've had since I was old enough to drive, and went to some stores on Black Friday. Wasn't going for any deals, just figured, TRU and Target might have some new stuff put out for the day. I got to Toys R Us a little after noon, figuring, ah, won't be so bad, the crazy stuff is early in the day. Was I wrong. Place was packed. Well I managed to work my way to the wrestling, nothing new other than a Big Show and Miz BOPPV. Then as I'm exiting the aisle I see a guy with his son, and the guy has got BOPPV Punk, which I've been looking for since early last month. Was crushed, but was actually alright, since it was at least going to be for a kid. Well I was thinking, maybe after Black Friday, they might put some more stuff out for Saturday, so against my better judgment I went back to the same TRU this morning. Get to the aisle and see that they have a few more BOPPV, Show, Miz HBK. Felt a bit defeated at first, but then I look down one peg, and I see the Ricardo silhouette with the arms highlighted, and it's Punk. Grabbed him, happy to finally have the figure in my hands, and realize there a three total, so I grab another, for a member here, I know has been looking for him too. So with one figure, it made the trip worth it. Now apparently, hearing NJ TRU has been seeing E18, I'll have to continue to keep an eye on my TRU.  |

Great pick-up! Bit of an under-rated figure IMO. Most people just buy the figure just for the arms.

Bought this figure during that insane TRU deal, about a week after finding my FIRST elite Punk (E16) . Let me tell you, I can't decide which one is better. This Punk has really caught my attention and I'm liking it A LOT more than I thought I would.

I think that if you have E11 Punk this one is better than picking up E16 Punk. E16 is a really nice figure, but since the attire is so similar to E11 it almost feels like you are buying the same figure. NTM every E16 I have seen has a design split on the waist area.
I just wish his BOPPV figure came with his "In Punk We Trust" T-shirt.

I picked this figure up today too at TRU. Best thing they had. They still had a Defining Moments Stone Cold, but they want $25.99 for it. At that price point they can keep it. They had 2 packs of Legends Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Shiek and Roddy Piper and Cowboy Bob Orton for $19.98. Not bad for too figs. But I still couldn't part ways with the money it would cost for them. All I got was the Punk, but I am happy. Well yesterday I broke a rule I've had since I was old enough to drive, and went to some stores on Black Friday. Wasn't going for any deals, just figured, TRU and Target might have some new stuff put out for the day. I got to Toys R Us a little after noon, figuring, ah, won't be so bad, the crazy stuff is early in the day. Was I wrong. Place was packed.

Well I was thinking, maybe after Black Friday, they might put some more stuff out for Saturday, so against my better judgment I went back to the same TRU this morning. Get to the aisle and see that they have a few more BOPPV, Show, Miz HBK. Felt a bit defeated at first, but then I look down one peg, and I see the Ricardo silhouette with the arms highlighted, and it's Punk. Grabbed him, happy to finally have the figure in my hands, and realize there a three total, so I grab another, for a member here, I know has been looking for him too.

Good find. Can I take a guess at who the WF member is  Glad you found it. Was worrying this wouldn't come around here for a long time again. |

I hate to call this title he comes with "dull" as it is pretty well painted and designed.

Lucky find! I've only seen Punk and HBK from this line once.

This was the second time today I saw HBK. The other time I saw him I grabbed him. But when I got there, they had at least 2 of each guy in the series.

This figure definitely gets my respect as it's a great figure. I got it last month a few weeks before Ringside Fest and ended up getting Punk to sign it. Great purchase
