Been awhile since I posted reviews or purchases. I've bought a lot since last posting, So I'm just going to review the last few figures I've gotten. Enjoy!!
So this Bobby Roode was high on my want list. Even though it is basic with very little color or detail, it still gets the job done. The face is great, and is a hell of a lot better than the entrance great. The new NXT Championship is nice as well. I just wish it came with a robe because I don't want to have to buy the entrance great just to get one. Solid figure, but nothing amazing as they could have added alot more.

I was highly anticipating an AJ Styles with this attire. The figure certainly has it's flaws. While the face is solid, the hair doesn't look all the great when you take off the vest. It lacks a certain waviness to make it look natural. I'm also peeved that they keep skimping out on knee pads. Come on Mattel, just add them. The attire and vest are highly detailed and and has nicely printed decals. Also appreciate the P1 logo on the elbow-pad. While I think they are slowly improving on AJ figures, they need bigger torsos to really get an accurate look.

I was very glad we were able to get an elite Evil Neville before he left, because wow, they really knocked this one out of the park. This is definitely a top-5 figure of the year. The face is spot-on and flawless. I know a lot of people wanted this elite to be in black, but I love when the deco budget is used to full capacity. So the gold really makes this figure pop and gives it an extra boost. He's missing the arm straps he usually wore but I feel like that's nit-picking. Easily the best Neville figure ever released. Not going to show the rest of the accessories because it's been shown millions of times already

This Randy Orton elite was highly sought after, and some of the prices I saw were absolutely ridiculous. Thankfully, I was finally able to grab it at retail. In hand, I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. For one, it's completely inaccurate. At WM33 Randy had a highly detailed vested hoodie, and this wasn't it. The trunks seem half-done as there was way more detail and even on the knee pads as well. The only positive I think is the face. This is one of the few figures that utilizes the face-printing technology well. Even though the beard isn't that great, I think the likeness is strong. But the lack of detail and accuracy takes this figure down several notches.

Pretty happy they released this Seth in this attire. I think the face works and if it isn't broke don't fix it. The sculpting on the tights and the shirt is awesome. I'm so glad they decided to design a whole new shirt instead of reusing the old one. By the looks of it, they also gave him slightly bigger legs. Not much to complain about. Solid release.

Jeeze, I never thought I would be this excited about a Big Show figure. The bearded face is spot on and they actually gave him a new leaner torso! The patriotic torso is also pretty cool. To top it all off, Bill finally came through and gave us a knock-out fist, so better late than never. I think its a sleeper hit as it's definitely a figure of the year contender for sure, and easily the best Big Show figure ever released.

I've got a few more reviews I'll add in the coming days. Thanks guys!
