I gotta say that Mattel has done such a good job with these figures that I am buying figures of some wrestlers who I don't even like.
Like Mark Henry. They created a completely new body for him. I don't think ANY of those pieces will EVER be able to be used on any other character because he is so oddly shaped in real life.
Can anybody honestly really say that they are CRAZY about Mark Henry in real life? But I couldn't stop myself from buying his figure just because it looks so good.
Who do you guys find yourselves really liking figures of guys you don't like as much in real life?

I picked up Henry today myself since it looks just so awesome in person!

Randy Orton. His ring work bores the hell out of me, but his Elite figure is one of my favorites.

I don't buy any figures of people I don't like. Sure they might look good but why would I want them in my collection if I don't enjoy their work?

Not so much with Mattel. There isn't anyone in the WWE right now that I just can't stand.
With Jakks, however, there were plenty of guys I would never want figures of if I didn't want my collection to be at least one of every one made by Jakks in RA style. I absolutely cannot stand Heidenreich, but his figures were very well done.

Vladamir Kozlov. I mean he's cool but Im not a huge fan. I think his figure is awesome though. I want every superstar though.

There's a bunch of guys I can't stand watching, but liked their figures too much to pass up... Cryme Tyme Mark Henry Rey Mysterio Matt Hardy Hornswaggle Carlito Primo Miz Cena
But I think now that we are at Series 4 I'll start being more selective. If Basic Series 3 ever shows up around here I'll just get Orton, Shelton, Mickie & maybe Taker. Elite 3 I'll just get Cody Rhodes, Santino & Christian. PPV2 I'll just get the Morrison to replace the 2-Pack figure.

why all the Mark Henry hate? I can honestly say I LOVE him. that being said I have a few Jakks figures of guys i can't stand but with Mattel I'm only buying guys i like, so Matt Hardy was left behind regardless of his details.

I respect Mark Henry as a Strongman athlete and elite level powerlifter, but he's not much of a wrestler. LOL

I'm no big Kane fan, like I don't not like him but his figure is that good it's tempting to buy him even though there's other Mattel figs i'd prefer to spend my money on.

i'm actually a pretty big Henry mark (get it?) but seriously, i don't see why he hasn't held a world title yet. he's been loyal to the company for years and he's supposedly the strongest!
i know there's somewhat of a grudge over an alleged over-paid contract but, c'mon, man! give this guy the WWE title already!

Henry? I cant believe we havent seen Great Khalis name pop up in here yet. Another that comes to mind for me is Batista.

I don't care for Big Show too much, but his figure is awesome to play with.

But even then I think he'll be like Swagger which is an easy leave on the pegs for me. Just Orton, Shelton, Mickie & maybe Taker for me when I see them.

I abhor CM Punk, but I have high hopes for his Rumble figure, for which I feel I have waited long enough for pics. It's odd, because the only fig I am looking more forward to seeing is series 4 Regal. It was a great outfit and I dig the beard; I am expecting awesomeness and anything less will be a huge disappointment, even though I do not like his work at all. I haven't liked any of his other figs, though.

MVP for me. I think he is terrible in the ring but I think he has a unique "look" that transpires into the figures real well.
