With this whole pandemic going on, I’ve literally bought figures either from stores or online to open them and put them in the bin right away. It’s been 3 months since I’ve even looked at my collection and started to forget who I bought. Yesterday was the first day since March that I’ve got home from work to an empty house. My wife started back up in her classroom and the 3 kids where at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I decided to pull them out and see what my damage was.
I really like the look and feel of the AEW figures but as everyone has pointed out about the skin tones, really pale. I didn’t realize how pale until they were next to the Mattel’s. I’ll still buy the ones I like but not every figure.
DM Steamboat is a figure I’ve bought and sold a few times and this time I got him super cheap for a future fix up.
Basic 105 Roman Reigns is just for a head swap onto an elite.
Cedric Alexander is someone I’ve passed on forever and decided to get him cheap online.
Ricochet and Kurt Angle were impulse buys at Target.
Jim Neidhart was one of the few I’ve never seen at a store and a good buddy here, joes7164 was able to hook me up.
UE Bret was an impulse buy just to see if I liked them. Not impressed at all. He feels overly fragile and all 3 heads are terrible. I’ll grad Hollywood Hogan just because it’s Hogan.
Jeff Hardy, Muraco, and Scott Hall were all bought for cheap online.
Billy Graham was preordered when he first went up. He was a top 5 want on my list and had to get him right away. Both heads are awesome but I like this older one more.
Didn’t have a Braun in my collection so grabbed him at a Walmart one day.
I have all the elite Macho Man figures and a few fix ups too so I needed the Royal Rumble version. I never saw him in store either and decided to get him before he got even more expensive. I just need to get the Slim Jim and I’ll have them all.
I tried to preorder Mr T when he went up at 12 eastern and at 12:02 when I was finishing payment, he was already sold out. I was pissed but it is what is, right? I caved and bought him online after getting a nice summer bonus at work. I haven’t opened him up yet to check him out so hopefully he’s even in there. Lol.
