Hi WF. I just celebrated my birthday with a few new finds, recievings and a proud addition to WrestleCave.
I typically don't collect too many basic figures outside of the occasional legend but I have to make an exception when it comes to the Hulkster. I just don't like the way basic articulation looks. It makes the legs and midsection area look awkward to me. But for suited or jeans figures it looks fine. And such is this case. Love the figure. Has his new tat which I am not a fan of but it's accurate. Love that the glasses are removable. Wish the dew rag was to but it's molded on.
Took a trip to WalMart and was surprised to see the Ricky Steam boat. The packaging was messed up but as a loose collector this didn't phase me.
Ralphs gets
Custom Power and GLory
Hakushi
Skinner
Found this on the bay. Very happy with it. It's a replica Hulkamania weight belt. Made of simulated letter that is much more flexible than replica belts. Logo is nice. Has yellow threading. It is clearly not strong enough to support a dead lift but for display and dress up it's just fine. And at under 20 bucks shipped I couldn't pass it up.
For those of you that followed my original thread touring my WrestleCave (check it out it's worth a look: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/316591/new-gets-tour-wrestlecave) you may have seen that made a custom full size WWF Turnbuckle pad. Well I decided I needed a way to display it. So I sewed 2 more, and made a ring post strung up with some ropes. I plan on sewing a few more to put on the other post. I really like how this looks. The perfect decoration for my WrestleCAve.
Let me know your thoughts folks.
