Hope you enjoyed Takeover. And I have a question about the Sting figure. How hard is it to move the arms in the jacket? And if you can move them can they hold the pose? Meaning can you drop the arms down or pose him like he is about to do his signature Stinger yell in the jacket? Thanks. Thanks, Takeover was amazing, and the jacket is a pain to take off, to the point that I was scared to snap the arm off or something and I haven't put the jacket back on yet for the same reason, and there is no posing whatsoever with it on from the little I played around with it while the jacket was on.

OK. Thanks. Glad you had a good time at Takeover. I actually watched it this morning and enjoyed it. The only match that couldn't hold my attention was Corbin vs Aries. I just wasn't feeling it. Although I felt the main event suffered because of Joe's cut. They kept having to treat it ruining the flow of the match.

For sure, the flow was ruined after the second time they checked on him, it was a bit ridiculous, I get safety and all but it's not ballet, should have just let them go. I also agree about Aries and Corbin, I've been a big Aries fan for a long time but was shocked his reaction wasn't as strong as previous main event level indy talents who have shown up in NXT. Still an awesome show though top to bottom.

Man my son had a blast at axxess. Got a mitb case signed by Ryder, Rusev and Lana. Got to see R Truth, goldust, reigns, STardust, Sandow, Backlund, Adam Rose, and see a little NXT, was really fun but as I've seen others say the lines did take forever hence only three signatures on his case. They were sold out of the DM Stings so no new figs. It was fun though. That was the 8am session today.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Sting looks good except for one thing. That face scan is very disappointing. I can live with the boots, but that face is awful. Even the pic on the side of the box he has a duh type of look. I've wanted a surfer Sting for so long and to see that face is frustrating.

the Paul Bearer Build a Figure nightmare is finally over, after a year(s)? of waiting for Bearer, I FINALLY got it this past Thursday from Walmart.com. I don't exactly recall the 4 figures from the first Bearer BAF wave that never hit the US but I remember wanting the Batman Kofi. Out of these 4 I sadly wanted NONE, ugh. I have the EG Jericho so this is nice to have but not important to me. Is it me or is this Bearer a bit more tan than the original? Either way, I am thrilled to finally have him in my collection. and now, The Brothers of Destruction help build Paul Bearer!!here are some additional Surfer Sting pics I took when I got home from WrestleMania week. Besides Axxess absolutely sucking for the most part, I got to meet two of my biggest wants Paige and Sasha Banks, so I can't complain TOO much. Also met Bad News Barrett, Fandango, Hideo Itami, Damien Sandow, and Mandy Rose. I had an amazing time in Dallas, also went to NXT, HOF, WrestleMania, RAW & and then hit up a Texas Rangers game on Tuesday to cross another MLB stadium off my list. I think I'll remember Dallas most for NXT Takeover and Whataburger... good lord we need 1 of those in New York.

That's one hell of a week! I think all of Wfigs can attest to the fact that meeting Sasha alone would cause chronic heart failure. Awesome post

Thanks so much for your pics! I always look forward to seeing the guys build-a-figure literally. Also thanks for more of those Sting pics, his torso is definitely wrong but I hope elite Bulldog's torso is a good switch when I get this in-hand.

That Sting is badass. Definitely gonna have to pick up both Surfer and Crow one of these days. I see the Crow Version everywhere though.

Nice pickups! The Walmart Bearer is definitely more tanned, there's a thread with side by side comparison shots on here somewhere. And the TRU version has more crisper paint on the face for the eyes

Great pics. I can't wait for that Sting to arrive. I have a DM Flair with the Horsemen Flair head just waiting to be displayed with him. That Sting is badass. Definitely gonna have to pick up both Surfer and Crow one of these days. I see the Crow Version everywhere though. I haven't seen the Starcade figure around here in a while. Just Taker and Austin now.

I have to say the headscan doesn't look nearly as bad as the proto, as far as the rest of the figure? It's just meh. Not worth the money imo. I hope Mattel fixes the next surfer Sting with either the Macho or Austin torso, thicker legs and correct boots. Thanks for the pics man.

Well, Texas sure has enough Whataburgers to give a few away

Awesome pics... I love Taker and Kane building Bearer, lol. And who'd have thought a few years a go, we'd ever see this from Mattel:

Enzo and Cass look absolutely amazing. I don't normally buy basic figs, but I'm extremely tempted to order them right now.
