Took pics from my big Ringside order that I got in yesterday & also a few figures I got over the last month or so.
Basic 40
Zack Ryder
I for some reason continue to collect every Zack Ryder figure, this was no exception, it actually turned out really nice and the detail on the tights is excellent, very nice job by Mattel on this one.
CM Punk
I really only bought this for the new scan to place on the BO PPV Elite body, especially since this is the same attire as his upcoming Elite 29 which I have on pre-order.
Basic 41
Drew McIntyre
FINALLY 3MB is complete... about a month too late though. Either way this Drew is a very nice figure and I'm glad to have 3MB done even if they aren't around anymore, I think this is the first Drew I've bought since his Elite 8 figure so its been a while.
Daniel Bryan
I really love the attire on this figure, and I really like the updated long hair, the scan... ehhh I'm still a little undecided on, overall though a very nice figure.
Battle Pack 29
CM Punk & Ryback
I really liked the attire on this CM Punk, and the Ryback looked great as well, best part was it helped to satisfy both my Ryback & CM Punk collection. So it made it easier to order the whole set of 3 BPs.
Los Matadores
At first I couldn't tell who was who, but after putting them next to the figures of Primo & Epico I was able to tell the difference in size of each figure, now if I only knew who was Diego & who was Fernando... Also there's a smudge on the side of 1 of their tights, that is kind of annoying, Mattel's QC is a huge problem right now. Either way, can't wait to get El Torito!
Goldust & Cody Rhodes
I really was on the fence about this Battle Pack because I think the Cody Rhodes is terrible, and I already have the Elite 29 Goldust on pre-order, but it made more sense for me to order the set of 6 than to pick and choose what I wanted.
The Rock Ringside Exclusive
Man I was really upset about this figure when it was first announced, I understand the Rock's popularity and all but, this didn't strike me as a figure that needed to be made, and especially as a Ringside Exclusive. With that being said, I really wanted the purple IC championship, and since I was already making an order, I decided to just throw it on and get it over with. My main problem with this figure after getting it, is my Rock came with a huge paint smudge across the top of his forehead, that really sucks, like I said the QC is a huge problem. I think I have another old school Rock head laying around somewhere so I can swap it on, just a matter of finding it now.
Ric Flair Defining Moments
Wow, Mattel really knocked it out of the park with this one, just a fantastic figure and I am so glad to FINALLY have a Mattel version of Ric Flair after 4 years of waiting. The robe is excellent, the attire is very nice, and the scan is spot on. Just a great figure by Mattel and might be 1 of their best. I can finally retire my Ric Flair fix up I made in 2010, hallelujah! I eagerly anticipate the return of more Defining Moments, hope the Hulkster or Sting are next in line...
Authentic Scale Ring
I have the first ESR made by Mattel but it was starting to get a bit worn down, especially the ringskirt & apron, so after seeing the pictures of this new 1 and having a little bit of expendable income at the time, I decided to pre-order it mostly for the white ring ropes, and the new Smackdown & RAW ring skirts. I am not disappointed, its a very nicely made ring, pretty much exactly the same as the ESR, the only difference I can notice is the mat is a little smaller than the ESR, & the color is a little different as well. I am happy that this came out for all of the people who missed out on the ESR, they can finally have a ring that's worlds better than those terrible spring loaded rings by Mattel. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, the only problem now, is finding a place for this ring along with my first one. YIKES.
Ultimate Table & Ladder set
I originally ordered the Table/Ladder set as well as an extra brown table because I missed out on them the first time Ringside had them, always thought they looked cool considering its been years and years of just having a table break in TWO.. I guess its the little things that make us happy huh? Anyway, I took Ringside up on their offer for a free table and got the black one as well.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Also picked up all of the GOTG Marvel Legends figures, absolutely awesome set of figures and I can't wait for the movie to come out!
Should be getting my complete set of Elite 29 fairly soon, and my Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Yellow Ranger figuarts should be arriving Monday to finally complete my MMPR team, so it's been a good month already, that should only get better! Thanks for looking!
