I went to Target last night for what I said would be the last time, because I was getting sick of checking store after store only to be let down. I found all of Basic 1, all of Elite 1, all the rings, every Flexforce, all the kids belts, and I think that's about it. I grabbed the Basic Cena, Kofi and Batista, along with the Elite Edge, Undertaker, Punk and MVP. I must say, Rey looks terrible in person. The legs are way too long and ruin the figure, to be honest. Also, as I was about to leave Target, I spot this guy I know who works there now. I saved $10 with his discount card.    Some info/personal notes: - Both the entrance coats are a hard rubber material, but are easy to take on and off by pulling the arms back. The elbow pads that come with the Elites are better than the basic ones, and same for the kneepads. - Punk's tats look incredible in person. Undertaker's tats are also very detailed. - MVP is pretty decent but to be honest, he should've came with something more than just the cheap chains and headband. All in all, I was happy to bang out my main wants right now. All I need is the purple Jericho and I should be done until the next sets come out. I can't stand the HBK from the 2-pack so I don't feel it's worth spending $20 on just Jericho. Enjoy! |

So are you done whining about not being able to find these before they actually are supposed to be released?  I kid. Nice man. What Target did you hit up? |

Nice friend, risking getting fired to hook you up with a discount.  |

I'm having a tough time keeping up with the soap opera drama that is Johnny's decision to collect Mattel or not. It looks like you made out well, what with it still not being January 1 and having a friend hook you up with a discount. I don't know what else is needed for MVP, as a t-shirt wouldn't make it that much better of a deal. Personally, I like the chains and headband for a debut figure; Jakks didn't even give us that for the AD25 MVP, and this one has a lot more detail. Nice buys all around, and I really want to get out to check stores soon, but I don't think I'll have much luck finding anything in my area. |

Yeah, CM Punk's tattoo's are cool looking in person. I got that Punk elite figure with the Edge elite figure so I know. The knee pads are really annoying though.

I find it so cool that Target is once again a place to get Wrestling Figures from.
Nice pick-up, I to am not a fan of the current Mattel version of HBK.

I'm very jealous. I really want Kofi and the elite Edge, Punk and 'Taker. Though I think the Mattel HBK is great apart from the lack of beard.

Great stuff. So it seems that Target is now the hot spot that TRU was the first week. Enjoy all of them.

I get what you mean but MVP never really wears anything apart from the headband and chains nowadays. He wore the shirt a few times, I guess they could have thrown in that, but no biggie. Easily his best figure ever made and will also be my first Mattel figure. Enjoy the pickups!

Thanks guys. And I agree JSYN. A pair of sunglasses would've been cool, but after having MVP vs. Kofi before with these figures, I can't complain as this is like you said, MVP's best figure.

Aside from the mattel MVP figure with the bloated head scan, it looks like an ok figure. It's better than a few of his figures made by Jakks though. |
