Hey guys!! It's been awhile since I posted my recievings/findings here (since I pre-ordered DA19 Jericho to be exact). Lately I am more select in my buying as I feel some stuff is getting rushed out so I try to really pick up only my absolute favoties.
Being my HBK marky self, I had to pre-order this pup as soon as I saw the MOC images. His GAB attire rocks and I was happy to finally see a modern HBK with a beard ... itonly took JAKKS a year and half or so to include that lol. Here are some pix and my review!!
As you can see this is the good ole' MSJ/DX RSC pack/CSDA 5 HBK scan. From the MOC's I couldnt tell if it was this scan or a new one because of the diffrent skin tone, but I was leaning towards it being this scan and I was right. Good move, as I remember when HBK first stated re-sporting his beard in late 07' that this scan, even though classic, looks just like he does now. He didnt need a new scan, this one suits it just fine.
Upper body looks good with wrist tape and the same tat design of the DA12 HBK, which is nice and detailed (you'll see it more in the action shots later). The attire looks cool, the heart/cross design is nice and colorful, but there is quite a bit of missing detail. The two hearts at the top of his attire are missing and the back has no detail either (missing the HBK logo). Sadly, the black designs with the little buttons and the zipper design are also missing. If you see the DA20 proto of HBK which, when you get a DA20 figure you can see on the back of the box, you'll notice the proto featues the black lines with buttons, but the final product is missing it. Despite the missing details, this HBK is still very nice. It has nice colors, the right scan (finally) and is a good overall figure. For some reason, I don't think we'll see an HBK from JAKKS that features most of the pant detail again, as it seems JAKKS is missing a lot of detail during their final year producing WWE figures. Despite the flaws, a great figure and since we don't get many new HBK's in new attires, I'm glad to have him!!!!
Actionz!:
what a swift chop to the chest of Jericho by Shawn Michaels!!
He's setting him up, tuning up the band for Sweet Chin Music!!
