Have you ever bought some figures, got really excited about buying them and taking them home to open them up, then once you got them out of the package you were just like "Really? I bought this?" When I first decided that I wanted to start collecting, I went to Wal-Mart and bought one of everything they had. Then I went to K-Mart and bought everything they had that I didn't already get at Wal-Mart. I ended up with about 20 figures. Then, I opened them all up and realized that I had Curtis Axel, Jinder Mahal, Rey Mysterio, two John Cenas, the most ugly Undertaker I've seen in the line, a boring Wade Barrett, a Rock who was wearing black pants (I hate the Rock), Dolph Ziggler with his tongue sticking out, and Sheamus. There were a few figures I really liked, like a basic Punk and Alberto Del Rio, but overall I was just like... "WHAT HAVE I DONE?  " |

Its because you bought a lot of garbage. I get that feeling too, because I have to buy some of those figures to complete waves or a series and you just feel awful. Its tough to feel proud when you open a figure and look at it and realize you had to buy a Miz because it completed a wave.

I've done that a lot with those Wal-Mart t-shirt figures. I'm excited to see them, buy them, then a couple days later I'm like "WHY the hell did I buy these??!!"

Elite 27 RVD stands out to me. Something was just off with it, which is a pity. I've never been satisfied with any of the Macho Man's. I have not bought a Macho Man for the same reason, maybe because he's my favorite wrestler and I am just too picky. I just have not been sufficiently wow'd with any of this figures so far....except maybe the WrestleMania 7 figure, but it's way out of my price range. Almost picked up the WM8 figure several times but I keep thinking there's going to be one some day that knocks it out of the park. To date, my favorite Macho Man figure:  |

No I haven't had this problem but when I start feeling like I'm buying ones I dont really want or overpaying that is when I will start reevaluating this hobby.

Continuing the theme, the designs on E21 Ryback (blue) and E27 RVD singlets really pop in the online pics I've seen, but both left me feeling pretty flat when they arrived. I ended up buying E24 Ryback (red) the day after E21 arrived. I'm much happier with him.
As for E27 RVD, I can sum it up by saying he's the best disappointing figure I've ever owned.
Neither one of those fall in the "Really? I bought this?" category though. No, that special place is reserved for things like Marvel Legends X-Men movie Beast and X-Men movie Jean Gray who were purchased under duress so that I could build Annhilius and the Blob. That and about 75% of the 2013 mattycollector.com DC Universe Classics subscription.

I'm kind of w/ you on that. I got really excited about E30 but when I opened it I was really disappointed. Hopefully his next elite they use a better sized body. |

Rowan. I hate the figure. I mean HATE it. The coveralls look like crap. There is literally nothing about it that I like. I hope they re-evaluate the looks of that figure and do something different with the coveralls. Other than that, I'm pretty much a buy what I want and piss on the BAF sets. I refuse to do it..... unless I actually want the figure that has the piece. That will probably change if we ever get Bearer.

Different kind of anti-climatic....I ordered macho king from rsc way back. I wanted it MOC. The box had obviously been dropped based off the crushed corner. Inside the macho king was unseated from the plastic insert and his crown had fallen off. Worthless to me  This was only my second purchase from rsc and I never blamed them. Everything I've got from that site since has been very MOC |

I've thought about just opening it many times. It is at the bottom of the stack of figures unfortunately. I am so proud of all of my MOC machos except that one, but I must have a macho king |
