Yeah, apparently a replacement is on its way. But there's no tracking or anything. Replacement just arrived...in a jiffy bag. So whoever it is from Smyths saying that they don't send anything in jiffy bags, is wrong. Anyway, the main thing is, this Kane appears to be OK. That's cool, how long did the process take overall? I sent mine out yesterday via collectplus and they said it could be midweek/end of the week which sucks as I paid that extra £4 for next day and I have to wait 7 days for a hopefully working figure.

Elite 47B arrived just now. Ascension were fine, but Kane's right leg snapped right out of the box. I emailed Smyths about it, and their response was to send it back and "if we are satisfied that it is a manufacturing fault, we will offer a refund or a replacement" - so, does that mean I could send it back, and then end up with no product, no refund and no replacement? If so, that's some pretty crappy service. I've had the EXACT same problem with 47b Rock, I am to send it off using collect plus. Do you have any update on how yours went? I also paid extra for the next working day so I hope the process is somewhat expedited.

Has anyone dealt with wndirect for deliveries on here? I ordered a TNF Sami Zayn from the states should arrive tomorrow but I googled the courier and literally 99% of the reviews are super bad saying that either their package hasn't arrived or it's super late (my delivery estimate is between last week and tomorrow) and I'm slightly concerned.
Edit: Pretty much just as I posted this it arrived haha! I'd still like to know people's experiences though because I might do more imports because 3 packs are £60 from states whereas blocked sells them for about £80 right?

Does leg swapping by boiling water affect the articulation in any way?

Is a leg swap a possible thing of which can be done? If so, how so? Yes, depends on the ball joint and which part of the leg you are trying to change. WM Heritage Kane, literally just wanna transfer one leg to the other (I have two which I wanna swap up to have the best paint job)

So Smyths' website is saying that E48 is out in February, while E47.5 is coming out in March? Hmmm that's weird, but it is what it is. Hope this is of useful to people, all the best.

Hai guys so I'm just wondering because I haven't really been fully collecting for that long (been a casual buyer for years but lately I'm freakin obsessed)
ANYWAY
So when the last wave of the TNF elites were about (like rusev, rock breeze, bam bam etc) did y'all have to order it from America or where there online or even physical retail merchants of which sold them when they were out?
I ask because I am desperate to obtain the Sami Zayn of the new series and if the only way I can order is to ship from the US I will do just that!
Many thanks, all the best.

I literally just bought the last AJ Styles that Smyths had locally and Big Bossman (but there were plenty of him knocking about). Couldnt find it anywhere until I saw out the corner of my eye the Smackdown Live logo right at the top so I got the staff to use the ladder to get it and there it was. Also managed to bag an elite Tyson Kidd for a tenner.
Yo also dem WWE TMNT figures are out now, I'm sure a lot of y'all already know dat now.
Yehh boiiiiiiiiI!!!!!!

Sick m8, I was planning on doing the exact same thing with my ring now I have that apron. How did ya get the ropes to hold? I bought some of that red bungee ting but obviously there's a metal thing on the normal ropes that bind it together. Is there a way to replicate that or nah?

I finally did it, headswapped the basic over the limit head onto the RSC SES elite. I prefer the long hair bearded look with Punk you see (although I thought that mask looked badass) I'm pretty happy with it, and the SES head looks as good on the basic body too. EDIT: Here are both figures following the transformation.

Right here's what I'm thinking, and I seek your peoples approval.
I have an elite 22 Damien Sandow which I don't really use much, I'm thinking of getting a basic Finn Balor and head, arm and boot swapping it then painting the trunks black. I don't really care about exact detail I just want an elite Balor to have crazy matches with because basics don't cut it for me when it comes to having matches with figures.
SO WHAT DO YA THINK!?
