Well it's been a while since i got any new figs due to the lack of a fig i want (due to poor quality) or that the figures i want have not been ariving here. Nonetheless I went to TRU for the first time in weeks. Got myself a nice 4fig haul. The first were 3 figs I had not yet bought; RA32 Orton, Carlito and Morrison. Then i picked up a long time figure want. When CS16 first came out, i didnt track down a gonzales (even though i never saw it in store) because i saw CSTT8 had him in it so i waited and held off getting cs16 GG as id prefer a whippleman to come with GG. But after seeing the 2nd time downgrade of a GG on CStt8 i was pretty annoyed i didnt get cs16 at first. Id rather a proper GG than having a 2nd grade one with a whippleman. So lately id tried finding GG and could, not at TRU, not at import shops, no where except online- at $25 a pop. So i went into TRU and when walking towards the wwe aisle, the outside-the-aisle permanent wwe display (my TRU has two wwe areas) i saw a few Vinnies on the shelf, i knew they restocked. Then at the very back of the two piles I found myself a regular cs16 GG. Very happy about this. Worked out after all. But then if that wasnt enough, I got him for the price of an RA!
Anyway, heres the pics:
Not an astonishing fig but a nice one. The scan is growing on me, it looks alright. Attire could be a bit more detailed but its better than RA31 in my opinion. Rating: 7/10 (wristbands, back designs and slight oddness of the scan let it down)
This orton is highly underrated. I know the scan isnt photogenic but in person it has a lot of definition. Not that ortons other scan was crap but this one is nice, its really growing on me. Its got something about it. Attire if fantastic, love the silver lining. I swapped the kneepads after the pic though and may swap the boots sometime but it isnt an issue. Fantastic figure. 9/10 (boots are the letdown)
This figure is odd because it breaks the trend of crappy figs we've been getting. This figure is phenomenal and how a figure should be. Highly detailed and accurate. Painted goatee is a nice solution. The attire is fantastic, highly detailed including the pads. Its flawless but jakks must watch their quality control on this one. 10/10
The big man, whilst its a downgrade from the proto, it still looks amazing. A fantastic piece to add to any collection, its just an all round awesome figure, not to mention the tallest RA out there. The detail is fantastic as is the articulation. A fanastic figure. 9.5/10
As you can see, RA32 was all about updating for me.
As mentioned, GG is the tallest RA out.
Group shot!
Its a rare thing but for once i bought a bunch of figures i can say that i feel i got my moneys worth on.
Any questions/requests, let me know.
