Is Orton an heel or a face? People cheer him but he still doing his heel antics in the ring and hitting post match RKO’s on both “heels and face”. So that’s all been blurred now. He’s been a face since the RK-Bro stuff in 2021-2022. Orton is more like a anti-hero type of face. It’s similar to how guys like Austin and Rock back in the day, even when they were faces, still had some heelish tendencies.

That’s… a lot of Kevin Owens(s). Who’d you get the decals from? I get them from Curb Stomp City Decals. Great quality, and look really clean when you put them on the figure! curbstompcitydecals.ecwid.com/

Today (5/7/24) is Kevin Owens' 40th Birthday, so to celebrate, here is my COMPLETE Kevin Owens Elite Collection, plus his recent Ultimate Edition figure! Owens is my favorite talent today, and a pretty big role model for me personally, so as a result, I have a ton of figures of him. NOTE: just like previous times I've posted collection images of a specific wrestler, I did not include Basics, because there's not as much to them unlike my Elite KOs. Anyway, here they are! Hope you enjoy! From left to right: Row 1: E43 (w/ Basic 65 headswap), E47 (w/ E43 legs + E53 head), E53 (custom White "Prizefighter" attire), E53 (custom Red "Prizefighter" attire), E53 (custom RAW 2016 attire), E53, E53 shirt and E47 legs on E66 body (w/ E80 headswap), E53 (custom Royal Rumble/Fastlane 2017 attire), Festival of Friendship, WrestleMania 34 Elite (w/ Basic 65 head and Rowan biceps) Row 2: WrestleMania 34 Elite, E61 (custom "Face of America" attire), E66 (w/ E61 shirt and E53 legs), E66 (custom HIAC 2017 attire), E66, E66 Chase, E66 (custom SummerSlam 2018 attire), E66 (unfinished 2019 Return KO custom), E80 (custom yellow "KO Show" attire), E80 (custom SD 2019 Heel attire) Row 3: E80 (custom SummerSlam 2019 attire), E91 (w/ E80 shirt, E53 legs, and E101 head), E91 (custom "Just Keep Fighting" attire), E91 (custom KOMania4 attire), custom red and black "KO Show" Elite (made from a Survivor Series Owens Elite), E91 (w/ black painted wrist tape), E91 (w/ E101 head), E91 (custom KOMania5 attire), E91 (w/ E66 Chase legs, MITB 2021 attire), E101 (w/ Survivor Series shirt and E53 legs) Row 4: Survivor Series 2023 Elite (w/ E101 legs), E101 (Stone Cold cosplay), E101, E101 (custom duct tape KO attire), E101 w/ cloth shirt, Ultimate Edition 21 (w/ custom decals on shorts), E101 (custom WrestleMania 39 Elite), E101 (custom Backlash/Night of Champions 2023 attire), E101 (custom SmackDown attire), E101 (custom SmackDown 12/22/23 attire) Let me know which KO is your favorite! Thanks for viewing! Enjoy these extra pics! Shameless plug time! If you enjoy my figure photography, I have an Instagram page that you could follow, where I post a ton more WWE figure photography. I also do some SH Figuarts Dragon Ball photography as well. Follows would be much appreciated! www.instagram.com/saikyogroove/

Curious to see what attires those ME Rollins figures are. For now, I only preordered 2 of KO, 1 Sami, UE Gunther, E111 Cody and Balor yesterday. I was surprised that KO was already on preorder2 when I went to get him.

I feel like that also looks inherently more accurate as well. KO wears a singlet under his t-shirt (probably the same singlets he wore in the early days of his career), and part of his shoulders are visible. The torso that comes on the UE is basically entirely black except for the neck area, and it looks rather odd. I do have to ask though, does the George Steele torso fix his height at all? I thought about using that torso (using acetone to remove all the body hair) for my UE KO fix-up. First off never use acetone on a torso that leaves a slimy shine on the har plastic use clear nail polish, I'll explain more in a sec. As for the Steele torso working. It should. The doink torso is short and frumpy kinda like he's hunched in idk how else to explain it. As for the clear nail polish I have a video on my YouTube I'll attach here as well. But you just pain a small area at a time and about 5 seconds after you paint the torso you wipe the nail polish away with a rag and that'll remove the paint on a torso and not leave it looking all shiny and won't eat the torso. However you can use acetone on the butterflies but that's it. Thanks for the info! I’ve never used acetone on Elite torsos or crotch pieces, but I wasn’t sure if the same principle applied to Ultimate torsos. Imma have to get a Steele UE now and try out the torso switch with KO.

Also switching the ko torso to a neidhart torso will accomplish the same thing as switching the boots for those more advanced customizers. http://instagram.com/p/C6OftM8Lv2X I feel like that also looks inherently more accurate as well.

Just got my Ultimate KO and Zayn this past Thursday. While I still really like the figures because of the new heads, the moment the figures represent, and just because it’s figures of KO and Zayn, they aren’t without their flaws. Outside of the height issue (Zayn looks giant next to Owens, even though irl Zayn is only an inch taller than Owens), and the missing logos they obviously couldn’t include due to copyright, the KO figure also has the dreaded PAINTED SKIN TONE on all of his hands, as opposed to previous figures of his where the hands were molded in skin color. I also noticed they didn’t paint the inside of the mouth for the open mouth smile heads for both Zayn and KO. They only painted their teeth… What copyrighted logos? The Super Dragon emblem on his right leg (should be next to the KO logo), and the gold PWG logo on top of the “FIGHT” emblem on his left leg.

Thank God I made a custom WM39 KO using the Elite 101 KO last year. Scales a lot better, has the missing logos and hand tattoo, and all the new UE heads fit on that figure so it’s just about perfect. If y’all got a spare E101 KO and know how to apply decals, I’d recommend doing the same.

Although I have to ask, why the hell would they make the bland all black attire an Elite, and make the much more colorful Rumble 2024 attire as a Basic? I feel it should’ve been the opposite, but what do I know right? They didn’t show a Royal Rumble 2024 Punk… Survivor Series return, MSG return, Pipebomb, Hart tribute, Royal Rumble 2010… and I think WrestleMania 28 (looks like it) Oh, and whatever his Elite 29 was based off of. That was on me. I got one of the Basic attires mixed up with the Rumble attire, as I only quickly glanced at the pics while I was at work. I edited my original post though.

A couple of years ago, I saw an old Apollo Crews in a Keith Lee Elite box at my local Target. They even threw in that pink Dolph Ziggler shirt in place of Keith’s hoodie.

Survivor Series Sami Zayn - Bloodline Kevin Owens - Dusty tribute Bushwhacker Luke - SS 91 Bushwhacker Butch - SS 91 BAF Adam Pearce Good to see they aren’t making us wait a long time to get War Games 2022 Sami to match the rest of The Bloodline like how they made us wait years to get camo Adam Cole to match the rest of the Undisputed Era. Dusty tribute Owens wouldn’t have been my first pick for a Survivor Series Owens tbh. I would’ve went with his attire from 2016 Survivor Series, as that’s an attire he wore more than once and we only got as a Basic a few years ago.

Waking up from my after work nap to find out that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are getting Ultimate Edition figures AND they’re up for preorder already was certainly a welcomed surprise! Needless to say, I already preordered the entire set, but since Cody is already listed as “preorder2”, I made a separate order for 2 Kevins and 1 Sami, so I can get those two as soon as possible.
Also grabbed the new Rollins from the Main Events series, because I loved the attire.

I’d love it if we got War Games 2022 Asuka in the Survivor Series wave. I hate that Mattel skipped over her 2022 looks/attires and just went straight to Juggalette Asuka.
Orton and/or HHH from Survivor Series 2004 would also be pretty neat.
As for the Rumble wave, 2023 Rollins, 2017 Owens, and 2024 LA Knight are my picks. I’m not sure if they can still make Billy Gunn, but if they can, I’d want a Billy from the 2004 Rumble. We never got a short hair Billy from Mattel, nor did we ever get those iconic green shorts (accurately, anyway).

They started popping up at my local Target around I wanna say early January. I grabbed two Seths (needed extras for headswaps), LA Knight (keeping this one MOC), and Bianca, which I eventually gave to my mom for her birthday (she’s a huge fan of her).
Right now Brock, and to a lesser extent Rock and Bianca, aren’t really moving, but I only saw Knight there once, which was when I bought him. Seth is also one I don’t see there too often.

I’m still low key upset we never got a figure of Elias’ younger brother, “Big Zeke” Ezekiel.
