It has been quite a long time since I've gotten anything worth posting, so a few of these pictures are a couple of weeks, if not months old, but I recently picked up all of Battle Pack 28, all the figures from Basic 37, 38 & 39 that I wanted, RSE CM Punk and the entire set of JR Build a Figures.
Lets start off with some of the older things I picked up..
Basic 37
Mr Perfect
I really like that we got a new Perfect, I always liked the Legends 3 one, and this one is great as well, very nice basic.
Roman Reigns
Picked this up just for the updated vest and new headscan, I swapped it onto his Elite 26 figure and it looks great... the vest was a pain to get off but some how some way it came off in pretty good shape and I was able to get it on without ripping or destroying it.
Zeb Colter
Man this was a pain in the ass to find, I got so antsy that I jumped the gun and bought it online for $20 bucks, only to find it 3 days later at TRU for $11, that pissed me off to say the least. Overall a great figure and I'm glad to have him in my collection. WE THE PEOPLE!!
Basic 38
Vickie Guerrero
I had picked up Jericho & Dolph from Basic 38 a while ago, Vickie was the only 1 remaining I needed, so I grabbed her when I found it at TRU, not much different than her previous Battle Pack with Dolph besides the highlights in her hair, still a nice figure even if its just a repaint.
Basic 39
Rob Van Dam
I really liked the attire for a basic, the detail is very nice and this along with Elite 27 will more than likely be the start of a Mattel RVD collection, can't resist buying figures in great attires and RVD has plenty of awesome gear to make great figures of.
Justin Gabriel
This guy is barely ever on TV, but I'm very glad we got an updated Gabriel, its been a very long time, was that pink attired Gabriel the last 1 we got?? Seems like that was forever ago. Just an awesome figure and had it not been for Bray, this would be my favorite of the set.
Heath Slater
Finally a 3MB attired Slater, can't wait for McIntyre, but knowing our luck, by the time McIntyre comes out 3MB will be broken up or something... either way, I love the headscan on this, easily the best Slater scan to date.
Bray Wyatt
When I first saw the scan I was not impressed at all, and truthfully I think the Elite Bray scan is 10x better, but this isn't as bad as I expected, just happy to have a Bray Wyatt finally in my collection. FOLLOW THE BUZZARDS!
Battle Pack 28
Luke Harper & Erick Rowan
Wow Mattel killed it with these two, Harper's headscan is awesome and I love the deranged look they gave him, not to mention the sweat stain on his shirt, just great detail. My ONE problem and its kind of a big one, comes with Rowan's jumpsuit, his arms don't move up in front of him at all, just to the sides, that's a big issue. I'm sure the elite Rowan will probably have the same issue which is a bit concerning as well. Other than that, these 2 figures are perfect. Also the rocking chair is awesome, great accessory!
WE'RE HERE.
The Usos
I don't think the scans are THAT great, but I love the attires, and I am thrilled to finally have updated Usos. I despised the BP 11 Usos because 1 had shorts and 1 had tights, that always drove me nuts (although I'm sure it was accurate, I just can't remember 1 wearing long tights). The surfboard is kind of an odd accessory but it sure as hell beats getting the same thing over and over again like Jakks would always do.
AJ Lee & Big E.
Big E looks great, really nice attire. As for AJ Lee, the boots & t-shirt looks great, but the height and new head scan are a bit odd to me. Still a solid set though.
Walmart Exclusive Superstar Entrance CM Punk
Really just got this because I collect every CM Punk, I wasn't a fan of this shirt when he wore it, and I can't stand the scan on this figure. Still waiting to find Macho Man from this set.
Ringside Exclusive CM Punk
I was shocked when we first saw pictures of this that we would be getting the ECW Championship, so as soon as it came in stock at Ringside I had to order it. Kind of wish the gear would have been the yellow and black attire he used to wear, but still the red and black looks very good. A very solid Ringside Exclusive.
Jim Ross Build a Figure TRU Exclusive
CM Punk
Love the attire, the megaphone is kind of stupid, but I really like the idea of the fan signs, just unique and different and will look cool in my CM Punk display.
Alberto Del Rio
Seriously Mattel? can you please get over your infatuation with Alberto Del Rio? It seems like he's in EVERY god damn set, especially ones that you need for BAF pieces. It's disgusting how many ADRs I have in my extras bin, this is no different. The attire is nice and at least its different, but damn I'm sick of him and I know I can't be the only one. Get used to seeing this on shelves for a very long time.
Randy Orton
Just like Del Rio, this will be warming shelves for a very long time, I have more ladders and MITB briefcases than I can count at this point so this figure is 100% bought for the JR pieces.
Curtis Axel
I'm sure many will be looking for this figure and from the case I saw this morning he appears to be only 1 per case in some assortments, thats kind of crazy. Overall its a great figure, and I'm glad to finally have an Elite Axel, I never purchased the BP with Triple H or the 3 pack with Austin & Lesnar, so this is an upgrade over my McGillicutty figure to say the least.
Jim Ross BAF
a very good addition to the BAF family, it took forever for this to hit shelves here in the US, and I'm glad that despite no longer being employed by the WWE, we were able to get this figure of Good 'ol JR. It probably ranks 2nd of my favorite BAFs so far, with Heyman still being my favorite, however with Bearer coming this could slip to 3rd because Paul Bearer looks great from what I've seen.
we can dream right...?
the good ol days...
some other random pick ups over the last few weeks
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed the pictures! Took me a while to do it all lol, the wait begins for Elite 28 and Paul Bearer BAF!
