I haven’t done one of these posts in a while, but I’ve picked up a few figures recently (including a Mattel grail of mine), so I thought it would be a good time. First up is my most recent pick ups. Was able to get most of Hall of Champions 3 from Target’s site. Still gotta track down Billy Gunn though. Really love this set, especially the Warrior figure. Also been wanting Mattel to release Dude Love for a long time, glad to finally be able to add him to my collection. Also was able to get Jake Roberts from Walmart’s Flashback Series, not sure why but I’m really glad Mattel did this version of Jake. Also got Ricky Steamboat but forgot to get a picture of him before adding to my display. I’ve wanted the Mattel Legends Road Warriors for a long time. Unfortunately when Mattel first took over the line, it took me a bit to fully get into Mattel. I was happy with my Jakks collection and was just planning on picking up Mattel figures of people Jakks hadn’t made. That coupled with the fact that no stores in my town carried Legends caused me to miss out. After I had fully gotten on board with Mattel I was able to track down most that I had missed but the Road Warriors had continued to allude me. I eventually made some customs out of an extra LOD blue Battle Pack, but was happy to finally add the real figures to my collection. Here they are standing beside my customs that I had made. This last picture is from a month ago. I picked these up while on vacation, but had a family issue come up before I was able to post it. Most of the loose figures I picked up at a flea market for $6 each. Thanks for checking out my post and I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving this week. And for our non US members, you may not be celebrating Thanksgiving this week, but I hope your week is awesome as well.

It does feel like an addiction sometimes lol. Nice pick ups. Got some amazing flea market bargains there. And congrats on the Road Warriors. I used to have them. They have the best RW/LOD armor for sure.

Will you be scared to ever put the jumpsuit on now for display?

Will you be scared to ever put the jumpsuit on now for display? Well like I said, I was on vacation and had a few days before I would be home, and I kept the guitar in the box and was gonna put the jumpsuit in there so it wouldn’t stain him. After I got him out, took the jumpsuit off him, and took some time to check out the figure, I just put him back in until I could get back home. I don’t guess there was really any reason to it, cause I took him out after I got home. I ended up putting the jumpsuit on a quick thrown together custom of extra parts I had with the head from one of the Honky Tonk basics. That way if it stains it, I’m not worried about it. Also I can have the light blue tights HonkyTonk without having the jumpsuit covering him up.
