braved a snow storm this afternoon thanks to a tip from mrwholefinshow that the TRU near me had the WM Elites, Basics & Battle Packs. When I got there, they only had 3 Elite Takers, no Kane's, and no Hogan from the basic set on the shelf (all of the rest though) which was very disappointing, almost to the point that I wasn't going to even bother getting Taker because I didn't really think it was THAT great of a figure. I walked around the store a little bit, even checking behind several boxes and throughout the aisle to make sure no one left it anywhere, didn't find it in the wrestling, Marvel, TMNT, or Power Ranger aisle, but I randomly walked down the Pixar aisle and BOOM there was a lone Kane sitting there waiting for me! Also got a bunch of pick ups over the last 2-3 weeks, January was sooo boring for collecting, but February has really been a pain in the wallet to say the least. Superstar Entrance Daniel Bryan & Rowdy Roddy PiperDidn't really care for that Piper headscan but I decided to grab it anyway, mostly because I had an extra kilt. Battle Pack 32 UsosI remember being really pissed when I first saw these because it was right around the time that elite Uso's came out and I really wish they could have gotten the updated tattoos on the elites, oh well! Wrestlemania VIII UndertakerLike I said, I really didn't think this figure was that great, I'm still shocked they didn't include a tie, and I'm not 100% about this scan, not sure if I like the EG one better or this. Wrestlemania 2000 KaneLOVE that they got the mask right this time, very thankful Mattel was able to fix that. I still think the greatest Kane they've ever made is Elite 12 by far, but this one is great as well. Also on the back of Kane's package it says hes 6'1 and 212 pounds, uhhhh they might be a little bit off on those measurements. other recent pick ups...

Initially had no interest in the wm kane but the side by side comparison between the two kanes shows how much better the newer one's mask looks!

Haha, 6'1, 212. Just like they said Hogan was 6'2. And "Sargent" Slaughter.
