my Ringside order came Friday but I was away for the weekend, just got home and the first thing I did was rip into my new haul! NatalyaMattel did an excellent job on Nattie, might be 1 of their best efforts for a Diva figure yet, the legs on mine are insanely tight so I have to heat it up soon. Finn BalorI honestly forgot I pre-ordered this, and was surprised when it was in the box, good looking figure, not a big fan of the long knee pads. Balor will probably take over Bryan and Punk's spot as someone who I'll buy every figure of. Finn-tastic!Sting & Ultimate Warrior 'Then, Now, Forever'This took FOREVER to track down, grabbed Ambrose & Pillman a month ago, solid set, had to get it because I collect every Warrior despite the Sting being disappointing thanks to the shirt. Nasty Boys Jerry Sags & Brian KnobbsI'll first start off by saying I'm not a big Nasty Boys fan, they do however look great, the jackets are easy to take off and that was a concern I had going in, so I'm happy about that. Triple Hvery cool, I was beginning to think we wouldn't get a figure version of this, only took a year. Kalistomuch better than his basic release Xavier WoodsThe OCD in me is freaking out because he doesn't match Kofi or Big E on my shelf anymore, but man I love this figure, Francesca is awesome, the vest is great, and although it would have been great to get the pink and blue New Day gear, this is very nice as well. Biggest issue I have is the paint splatter on his tights, oh well. Nevillemy favorite figure from the set, much like Kalisto, Neville benefits from having the elite articulation, the new scan is great as well. Also grabbed a B60 Orton and Wolfpac POP Sting!I'm heading to Dallas this Thursday for WrestleMania week goodness! I have a few questions I was hoping someone could help with... I'm going to Axxess and plan on bringing my Elite 34 Paige, Elite 41 Finn & B59 Sasha to hopefully get signed, what is the best way to travel with them? Will they get crushed in my suitcase? Also, for those who get figures signed often, what are the best markers to use to get them signed? Thanks in advance!!

You're gonna want Sharpie, Medium tip Oil based paint pens
I get mine at a local Michaels craft store
As for the traveling, no dice from me. Never flown figures

Awesome figures! Neville and Woods look better every time I see them, might have to actually order them from Ringside.

I'm with you about woods. Love the figure, sad we don't have Kofi or E to go with him yet. But I'm working on putting some sheik boots on woods to make it perfect.

I've flown with figures a few times. I packed some yesterday as I'm heading to Dallas in a few days. I use bubble wrap on them then place them between clothes. Problem is that the airport handles bags pretty roughly and could care less. If it's a really rare figure I would place it in your carry on this way you greatly minimize damage. But definitely don't just put the figure itself inside your suitcase.

I love Natalya's chest. It reminds me of when JAKKS came out with the Candice Michelle mold. Nothing says wrestling to me like a heaving bosom. Hopefully this leads to other big titted women getting proper figure representation.
From a customizing standpoint, I want to use it for Debra. It also seems good for Luna, Jacqueline, Trish Stratus, Lita, and just about any Diva who has ever worn theirs breasts up by their chin.

Woods looks awesome as does Neville, although I hate that his boots aren't molded like the basic. Maybe next time though.

I have tickets for Thursday, Saturday morning & Saturday afternoon.

just got to Dallas yesterday after the morning from hell, our flight from La Guardia was supposed to leave at 6, we missed it because of TSA taking forever, got the 6:55 to Dallas instead after almost having a panic attack (I don't travel often, so I didn't know how missing a flight works), our checked bag was an hour ahead of us, so we had to go and find that once we got to Dallas, more stress. Then we had to take a shuttle to the hotel and then another to the rent a car, by the time we got our stuff together we were already an hour + behind schedule since I wanted to be at the Axxess superstore by 1 to get a Paige bracelet for her store signing. We got to Axxess around 3, obviously everything was already gone and the line was insane, we walked around in the store for a while, I grabbed Sting, the WM program and a poster to get signed at Axxess (ha what a joke that turned out to be). We finally got in line for the General Admission entry at around 4:30, an hour and a half before doors open, after standing most of the day this just wasn't fun at all, finally got in to Axxess at around 6:25. It LOOKED much better than the previous Axxess I went to in NJ in 2013, but man it was just as bad, if not worse to get autographs. We hopped in line for Eva Marie and Lana, and we figured maybe we'd get off in time for someone else before the 8 o clock shift change. NO. We realized that we weren't going to get Lana and Eva and I truthfully was okay with that because I figured Paige was going to take their spot, she did. That was the first thing that went right for me ALL DAY. Paige is my favorite Diva and 1 of the people I wanted to meet most so I was thankful to be 5th or 6th in line after waiting the hour and a half and missing Lana and Eva. Paige was awesome, she was very nice and friendly, got a picture with her and had her sign my Elite 34 and got my girlfriend to get an 8x10 signed for me lol. After we left her line, we saw that King Barrett's line wasn't THAT bad, so we jumped on that and... I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS! Another HOUR to get through to Barrett, after that it was clear we weren't getting anyone else for the entire day, so we walked around, watched a bit of the Austin podcast, took pictures with various exhibits and then finally left! I will say this about Barrett, our picture the staff member took was awful, we noticed it and Barrett got up from his seat and told us to take a selfie with him instead, very nice guy. I didn't think it was possible to have a worse Axxess experience than the IZOD Center Jersey one, but this topped it, at least at that Axxess we got around 5-6 people per session, 2 is just ridiculous. There has to be a better way. Anyway, here are (hotel room) pictures of DM Sting which was an impulse buy thanks to my impatience, probably will cancel my Ringside 1 at some point. The torso choice for this is ridiculous, but that's been discussed already by others, I just don't understand what they were thinking. Besides that the jacket is nice (ugh plastic). My figure also has a scuff on the chest, nothing acetone won't fix. heading to NXT Takeover tonight (can't wait), then got 2 Axxess sessions and the HOF tomorrow, Mania Sunday, then RAW & JR's show Monday, after that I will need another vacation to rest from this one.
