I was telling myself I wouldnt buy any mattel after seeing the pics. But after seeing them in person today at tru I changed my my mind. They look so much better in person! Yet they have a lot of room to improve on. It seems they have a lot of potential. Today i picked up .....
1 of 1000's
taker
bourne
edge
elite rey
basic cena
So far i might keep collecting if they can keep it up and only get better.

Yeah some of the figures I bought today, I thought looked like crap when I saw them on the internet. But, as soon as I saw them in person I thought they were damn cool and had to get them.
Most notably, I thought that the Elite Undertaker looked like crap online, but when I saw it today at Toys R Us I was like, "Wow it's actually pretty good!"

See...I thought the total opposite. When I first heard Mattel was going to make WWE figs I told myself that I wasn't going to start getting those since I didn't want to start a collection all over again. But when I started to see the pics of how the Mattel figs turned out I actually thought about just getting the current roster. Out of all the series 1 figs I really wanted to get the Beth/Santino pack cause I don't like how Jakks Beth turned out but when I went to TRU today to see if they had the 2pks I totally changed my mind. Sure the Beth looked a lot better than the Jakks one as far as accuracy goes on the attire but I didn't like how Santino looked at all. And I wasn't going to pay $18 for a Beth figure. As a matter of fact I didn't really like how any of the male figures looked. I even left a ?/1000 Triple H on the pegs cause I didn't like how it looked. The only figure besides Beth that I thought looked ok was Big Show. But I just got the CS3pk with Show in it a few weeks ago and that one is pretty much perfect.
So needless to say I don't even know if I'll get the new faces in Mattel form like Sheamus, McIntryre, Ziggler, ect. Unless they turn out a lot better than most of the series 1 figs do.
Now I'm not saying the Mattel figs are bad so don't bash me for hating them...but they just aren't as cool as the initial pics made them look. So unless there is a must have fig for me I'll be sticking to my promise to myself about not collecting the Mattel figs.

A couple months ago when I saw the pix for the figures I convinced myself that I wouldn't buy any of the mattels at all because they all looked too cartoony, especially the basics but after holding them in my had at work (the basic 2packs) I fell in love with them but I don't have to money to buy them all so I'll buy certain basics and I knew I would get the elites no doubt I just don't care for the torsos on edge and punk cuz they look... sick lol but yeah I love the mattels and I only plan on buying basics that I don't see being elites anytime soon.

I was already planning on picking up some of them, mainly the elites. I was on the fence about Edge, as I really didn't like the way his head looked in photos. When I saw him today though, he looks MUCH better! I'm still not 100% happy with it, but it's a decent head sculpt. It looks like him, but I do wish he had a less goofy expression.

I was think its amazing UNTIL I see it in person, it was disapoointing. The plastic seems cheap to me. The mould was terrible and more like as "Cartoon" compare to realstic. |
