Just in time for when I retire from collecting! Wow are you really retiring? I thought you were just frustrated Nah definitely retiring. 20+ years of seriously collecting figures has been a good run. I find the hobby incredibly toxic now. I will be done once I receive my preorder for Legends 8 Eddie. Once I've reached the point of having to treat collecting like a part time job and base my days around hunting to maybe get figures before the scalpers, I was done. It's gone from a hobby to a chore. I'm thinking of moving on to collecting entire volumes of old 90s WWF magazine next. Then I'll probably go into collecting unaltered, old recordings like VHS tapes now that WWE is starting to edit old stuff on new DVDs*. * The new Attitude era best of '97 DVD edited out the cord choke and bell shot in Bret vs Austin from Mania 13. Austin hits a suplex and Bret suddenly gets up to a now randomly bloody Austin to put the sharpshooter on him. Garbage.

I started collecting last August and through luck and hard work have been able to buy, find, hunt over 200 figures, some considered rare or expensive. I've given up on going to stores and have switched to online only.

they said the painted torso represents his shirt being skin tight and a cloth goods wouldn't look right. That's the biggest load of bs, since when has Bray's sweater ever been 'skin tight'? They're just looking for an excuse to try and justify this cheap, lazy figure.

I don’t know if you’ve ever watched the Funhouse episodes, but the red one sweater he wears is skintight as hell. He looks like he’s gonna burst out of it. It definitely wouldn’t look right as a soft goods thing, it just being painted on isn’t great though.

Bray’s sweater is definitely tight, but that’s bound to happen when you have a keg for a chest. It’s definitely not THAT tight though, not to the point that you can make out every detail in his torso lol

The idea is great, love the packaging and the idea of getting all the characters. However the figure itself is.....let’s just say I much prefer the basic. I will grab the basic and put the basic figure with this set.
