Finally found all the new stuff in Jersey this weekend, RA33, AD30, all RTWM24. I picked up the last bit of stuff I wanted by getting RTWM 24 Batista, Jeff/Kennedy and HBK/Orton. Pics below!
The Batista is a very cool figure. It's nice to see his updated attire design finally. At first I was scared because when I saw MOC photos online the pic was small and I feared he'd have the AD23 scan, but fortunately he does have the newest scan.
Also, I fixed up the figure slightly by adding arm and knee pads (from ym RA31 Batista) since the figure didn't come with any pads and it made the figure look a little incomplete.
The Kennedy/Jeff pack is way awesome. By far the best Kennedy so far in a great attire. All the logos are done very nice.
On a whole, the Jeff figure is not the best, but I have been in need of an update RA Jeff for a while (the last RA Jeff was AD27 or earlier). The figure is plain and looks a little undone. The pants have no detail work on them like stitching painjobs. It is plain black and the shoes are plain white. The armbands look really weird and since they are so plain and white, the imperfections of production shows alot because it looks very blotchy and messy. Fortunately, the scan rocks and the tattoo is a nice touch as I've been wanting the tattoo to be on his figures for a long time. Cool pack.
Below is what I have really been waiting for. To most people they may seem like simple repaints, BUT it is my two favorite wrestlers (HBK my fav, Orton slightly behind) and they both are in my favorite attires for each of them so I was pysched and got really anxious to get the pack since protos came out in February!
The Orton figure is very nice. A repaint of RTWM24 #1 Orton, but very well done. The attire owns and the color looks very accurate and cool.
Also, the font of the ORTON logo is actually accurate yet again which is great. Almost every Orton figure we got last year had random, incorrect fonts but so far this year they're gettin it right again.
I LOVE this HBK figure and it's actually my favorite so far. For whatever reason, I really like this attire and think it's his best so far so since Cyber Sunday I've been really hoping they got a figure out of HBK soon with this attire. The attire is done VERY well. Many were worried about an uneven number of crosses, but I guess whoever got the pack a few weeks back got an error. The pants are also the CORRECT color, unlike the BNB figure. These pants are cream colored and off-white which is accurate. On TV the pants look standard white, but its because of the lighting so I was impressed that JAKKS got the color right. Also, the pants include the hearts at the top and the HBK logo on the back.
This is the most complete RA HBK figure since the last DX version from Treacherous Trios. Since that HBK, every RA HBK we got last year was missing both the hearts and the HBK logo on the back so the detail is back, much like the Orton figure finally has the correct fonts again. I know I'm going on about little details, but I notice it and its awesome. My new official favorite figure!
And now action shots!!!:
Orton has Kennedy set up for that DDT on the floor!
Oh my God! Did you hear the crack of Kennedy's skull of that outer ring mat?!
Batista smashing Jeff Hardy into the crowd barrier!
What's Jeff doing?! He wouldn't possibly ...
Oh BAH GOD!
Jeff Hardy throwing caution to the wind, taking out Batista with that moonsault to the outside!
HBK climbing to the top!
What an elbow drop! The Heartbreak Kid got all of it!
Thanks for lookin! Comments appreciated!

but still.. i may either pick up this figure or the RA33 one and do a torso swap. Im not too fond of the HBK too, only because i think the hearts are too small and i dont like the way the head is painted but still i could fix it up to suit my needs.
