Picked up the new Summerslam elite Finn Balor. This figure is loaded with paint detail right down to the words painted on his body.

The figure uses the older headscan which is decent and the older body which is noticeably less accurate than the ripped torso used on the NXT Takeover Dallas figure. Really happy with how this turned out though.

Cheers for looking.

In Smyths stores over here. They had the Summerslam basics and elites out.

I had a shot at this fig a few weeks back. I spotted him at ComiCONN. I was less pumped to see they wanted $40 for it. So I passed. But then I thought about it, because I still need the Universal Title. So I go back to grab it. Gone. Great-looking fig, though.

Does the belt have the 5 or 7 notch count on it ?

Why would you consider paying $40 when Walmart is gonna be flooded with them for half that around Summerslam time?

Didn't realize he had that crazy intricate back deco. I was debating passing on him because I have all three of the other elite Balors but...damn. Yah, I'm gonna have to break down and get him.

I don't know. It was the first time I'd seen it in the wild. I had the extra cash. I don't get to go on figure hunts as much anymore, so I didn't think I'd see it again ever. It was the only Elite I'd seen there (plenty of Basics, though). You want more reasons?

The back design and deco are amazing in person. Mattel did an amazing job with this one. My favorite demon of the bunch
