    As the title says, I have only been collecting for 6 weeks. I am trying to buy the rarer figures I want first then get the more common figures such as Cena at a later date. I was only collecting basics but I gave in yesterday and bought the RSC exclusive all pink attire Bret from eBay. I have been very lucky with some of my buys, such as the Entrance greats Rey. I won it on eBay for just under £8 posted. Well worth that price in my opinion, considering basics are anywhere between £9-11. The detail on the figure is amazing. I'm disappointed I missed this line at retail as I would love to add the whole line to my collection. Looking for the EG Taker at the moment. I like the Taker I have but I just look at the scans on the basic Takers and non of them seem to cut it for me, except the Entrance greats. I am also awaiting another figure from the EG line at the moment. Yes, I bought Y2J from the USA for $17 posted to the UK. Another great bargain in my eyes, I think it's by far the best Mattel Jericho. The HHH I own (WM22) attire is amazing. I honestly thought it would be just a generic HHH figure to just fill the gap on the shelf but I love the figure. Everything feels right about it from the attire to the scale and the amazing scan. Well worth picking up. If anybody has any suggestions on who I should add to my collection next, I would appreciate it. Thanks. |

Cheers guys. I think the basic line is a very under rated line. The figures are just what they say, basic. However, Mattel cut the cost by not adding accessories where as Jakks used to cut corners on attire. The attires seem spot on with the basic line. Mattel don't seem to lazy out and cut corners. The series 14 HBK is a prime example of this. One of my favourite figures that I have ever owned.
Oh on another note has anyone managed to find a way to remove Orton's vest? I was going to try it but I think it looks too good to risk cutting off. If it comes to it I will just buy the old evolution look Orton. I'm only trying to buy on of each wrestler but I think I am going to need to make some exceptions soon. Such as if a DX basic HHH is released, or a throw back Taker. Collecting is far too addictive.

You have some of the best basics released right there in that pic. Some of my favorites. And there is a basic DX Triple H already, from a 2pk with HBK.

Dude, Orton's vest comes right off at the front. 2 rectangular pegs. Probably the easiest one to remove of all rubber accessories. |
