Happy WrestleMania Weekend, everyone! Got a few new pickups lately & wanted to share some pics!
Collectors all over the east coast are searching Walmarts for the elusive Sensational Sherri figure!
I really thought I'd need to pay a ridiculous secondary market price to get the Walmart Exclusive Sensational Sherri..... however, I noticed one of my nearby Walmart's in Maryland had a jump on brickseek, so decided to check it out...... I was THRILLED when I got there & found a fresh case of ELITE 65! I didn't initially see her..... but then found her stuffed behind some other figures next to the WWE figs.....
She's beautiful! I don't get the criticisms that this figure doesn't look like Sherri.... I think the likeness looks fantastic!
As excited as I was to find Sherri, I guess I was in a spending mood..... decided to buy E65 Ronda Rousey as well!
The Charlotte Mattels have really been hit-or-miss. Some of them look fantastic, others - a little strange..... the WrestleMania Basic Charlotte happens to be one of those great-looking figs! As a hardcore collector of anything "FLAIR"..... this is a welcome addition to my collection!
A few years ago, I met a young up & coming wrestler named Patrick Clark....... these days, he's tearing up WWE-NXT as The Velveteen Dream! I just had to order this figure online, I can't bear trying to stalk another Walmart hoping this thing will hit the shelves..... got this in the mail last week!
GREAT looking figure!
I actually passed on the new Elite Dusty Rhodes, thinking it was pretty darn similar to the one that came with a WCW Ring last year.... however - when it was still sitting on the shelf, at a reduced Walmart price of $15.88...... I just couldn't resist! And I'm glad I did, love this figure!
I was really on the fence on Eric Young, but decided that I might never see this on the shelf again, so might as well go for it.... keeping it in the package for now, though..... I could see myself trying to get this signed one day.....
A few older pickups that I never shared:
If you haven't picked up the GameStop Macho Man, I suggest you grab one if you see them on clearance! This is a great figure!
I searched & searched for Paul Bearer in Target stores, to no avail..... but I was one of the lucky few who got it during the short window it was available on Target.com! While we all wait patiently for the Red Rooster..... here's my last pickup from Target.com......
Finally, last year I ordered one of the Ringside Collectibles Hulk Hogans...... what an amazing figure! I think I'm definitely going to have to order the red-shirt one as well....
Minor issue with this figure: Hulk's sunglasses immediately snapped in 2 pieces when I tried to re-position them for these photos.... they seemed very brittle? I'm not overly upset or worried about it, as I think the figure displays nicely without the glasses..... the facial scan/expression on this is too great to be covered up by the glasses!
Thanks for looking, everyone! Enjoy WrestleMania Weekend, and good luck trying to get The Red Rooster & Sensational Sherri!
