The higher you charge for something, the higher the standards are.
Simple economics. Especially when the screw ups have been mounting more and more over the past year or so.

I like the figure, too. Just not sure if it's worth that price.
I don't know what I find more surprising. The fact that people actually bought that Bo figure or that you don't like Razor figure. The Razor figure is SICK.

Gotta be white Rollins. That's the only one I'll be picking up from this set.

When I pay 20+ bucks for a figure, I expect a top notch figure. Paying that kind of money for a figure shouldn't entail the consumer to have to fix the figure themselves. That is ridiculous. Most people don't even know how to and might not want to take the risk of ruining the figure even more.
If you're going to charge that kind of money for a figure, I think it's fair for the consumer to expect a top notch figure. Also, it's not like this is the first, second, or third occurence of this problem. There's been a ton of these issues this year. Something isn't right. If Mattel wants to continue to put out figures with QC problems, lower the prices then. Because they sure aren't worth what they're asking with these continued problems.

Would love an ECW Raven, RVD, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Sandman, Justin Credible, Lance Storm, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio, (Lion Heart) Chris Jericho. Alot of good ones they can make with ECW. Even an ECW Paul E. Dangerously complete with ECW hat and lanyard around his neck.

TRU Jersey City had DM GAB Sting, DM Taker, Renee Young, BP J&J Security, Network Spotlight HHH and Bossman...aka awhole lot of nothing.
KMART Jersey City actually had 2 Elite JYDs. Wow...

Elite 16 Diesel's right foot/shoe fell off for no reason whatsoever. So, that was fun. But thankfully I was able to glue it back on. I don't even play with my figures, so I have no idea how this happened. It's been fixed since, though. I can't even imagine playing with these things.

That's noting compared to the GAB '90 Sting at my local TRU. ALL of them there had some kind of defect. Some had faded stars in his face paint. Some had blue from the face paint on his teeth. Blue from the face paint in his HAIR. Blue from the face paint on his chin. Others had a messed up jacket with paint bleeding into other parts of the jacket. And this wasn't one or two Sting figures. But that was really, really bad and it was when DM GAB Sting first came out. They literally had 8-10 Stings there and I had to walk out of the store with none of them, even though I went to TRU that day specifically for just that figure. It was horrible.
This was back 2-3 months ago. Thankfully, since then, I haven't seen anything bad since.

Wow, that RA era was boring and bland it's not even funny. Look at so many of those names, lol. Anyway, I actually voted Psychosis because the figure should look cool.

E19 HBK with the correct hair style that he had for the Hell in a Cell match with Undertaker in 1997 and the chest hair they now have on his other 90's figures (Network Spotlight, WM Flashback). And no, this new Legends reissue doesn't count since it's the SAME EXACT figure with nothing new added, except a new/different box.

Sweet collection there buddy. Love the NWO! Thanks, man! I'm hoping we see some more NWO guys at sdcc. Great collection! I have to ask, though. Where did you get the NWA Tag Titles that Arn and Tully have??

The best ones from the past are E19 (His HIAC '97 Attire), WM30 Flashback (His WM 14 attire) and DM (WM 25 attire). Can't go wrong with any of those. His mroe recent ones like the Network Spotlight SummerSlam '95 attire and Walgreens Exclusive are good, too. thanks for the info mate! id love the WM14 attire one tbh! can't remember actually seeing that figure before... i did find the network spotlight at toys r us, if i can't get hold of the WM30 Flashback i might pick that one up instead Here is a link to the WM 14 figure. www.ringsidecollectibles.com/wwe-elite-wrestlemania-30-shawn-michaels-mmisc-180.html

Elite- 3way tie between E19 HBK, TRU WM31 Rollins, and DM Flair.
Basic- I don't collect basics anymore and view them as a huge waste of money.

They have around 5 Ringmasters at East Brunswick TRU. Nothing else of note.

Deco is the way to go from what I've read. BTW, how do you 'prep' these markers?
