Made a huge order recently on eBay, and went to a couple of TRU's & Target's in search of their exclusives, still waiting on my Mattel Shop order with Elite 31 Rock. Hopefully I can find the Superstar Entrance AJ Lee & Elite 31 Vader soon.
21-1 Brock Lesnar
A while back I painted my extra elite Brock from the Paul Heyman BAF series black, a few weeks ago I noticed it was starting to chip, luckily I figured this was going to pop up soon, so I didn't bother to touch it up. It feels like after this version of Brock I hopefully won't need anymore for a while, unless he starts wearing a different pair of shorts. The new scan is decent and a welcome change to make this figure stand out a little more from the other Brock's I have. I added some of Dean's decals that I had leftover to complete the look.
Rocky Maivia
Mattel really hit a home run with this figure, it captures the debut of 'the Great One' perfectly. I really like that Target is joining the exclusives club and I can't wait for the Hall of Fame figures to start popping up.
Basic 40-45
The Great Khali
I almost could not bare the thought of having another Khali in my collection, but luckily I got it at Walmart for only $8. The new scan is pretty much perfect and I was able to use the arms of 1 my older Khali's on Yokozuna which I think looks great.
Seth Rollins
I ordered the Elite 33 set, but knowing that won't be here until Christmas I decided to upgrade my Elite 25 Rollins with this new head, I like it a lot.
Big E.
Didn't plan on buying every Big E. at first, but I liked this gear & I already had ordered the Elite 32 so I now have all 5 E's that have been made. Still not a huge fan of the scan.
Daniel Bryan
I didn't realize it was the exact same attire as the Elite 32 Bryan until I got it in the mail today, oh well, its got the previous head scan, but I plan on putting the Wyatt Family jumpsuit on this figure and leaving the Elite 32 w/o it, so at least it will look different on my display.
Chris Jericho
I feel like we're due for an updated Elite Jericho (or god forbid we finally get a Flashback Jericho) the figure is pretty much the same as the previous Jericho, but I can't have a figure that says Y2J 2013 on my shelf when a Y2J 2014 is available (this collecting thing is a sickness).
The Miz
Really liked the attire on this figure when I first saw it, it stands out from a lot of the other Miz figures I have much like some of his earlier figures do, specifically the purple SSH figure & blue elite gear come to mind.
Ricky 'the Dragon' Steamboat
I had to have this figure, I overpaid a little for it, but I didn't feel like waiting for retail. The Dragon looks great in his WrestleMania III gear and I'm happy Mattel finally made it.
Elite 32
Ya know how they say "patience is a virtue"? Well, I don't have patience, so I had to have these once I saw them pop up on eBay for reasonable prices. I like the new packaging a lot, I think its great that Mattel feels the need to redo it (even if its just slightly) each year. The back of the package is cool, I think its a great idea to show what time each attire was from. Although the picture is a bit blurry, on the back of Cody's package it says he debuted in 2010, pretty sure it was 2007.
Big E.
3 ain't enough man I need 5 Big E's. Really love the white singlet. I went from having only 1 white IC title to seemingly having one for each figure I own.
Cody Rhodes
I really wish Mattel would revamp Cody completely. I can't believe they still are using the massive chest and arms for him. Its the same problem with all the recent Dolph Ziggler elites, and quite frankly I hate it. What was wrong with the previous molds used for Cody & Dolph? NOTHING!! Ugh, anyway, I dig the vest, but I'm disappointed in the head scan (as usual) and the plain boring boots, all I can say is bring on StarDust.
Sin Cara
Love the color scheme for this figure, and since I collect ever Sin Cara I had to have it. The paint on my figures mask is a little messed up, but I've grown used to these problems from Mattel.
Rey Mysterio
Can't remember the last time I was excited for a Rey Mysterio figure. This one is awesome though, as much as I would have loved to see Mattel take a stab at the Phantom Rey from Halloween Havoc 97, this one is very nice. The Cruiserweight Championship is sweet and I love getting new belts from Mattel that I didn't think would ever see the light of day. The added surprise is the turnbuckle stand, it actually works really well and I had some fun using it with a few figures.
Daniel (Wyatt) Bryan
I didn't think we'd ever see a figure to represent his time with the Wyatt's since it was so short, I'm glad I was wrong, the jumpsuit fits a little loose, but it's cool we got it. The headscan on this figure may be my favorite of his so far and the attire although identical to B45 is awesome.
