So about a week or so ago, WF Member Warheart held a special birthday contest. The prize was a Wrestlemania Heritage Stone Cold Steve Austin. I never really intended on collecting Mattel. I have a sizable Jakks collection as is. The only Matel figures I have are Series 1 Evan Bourne and Entrance Greats 1 Shawn Michaels. I've wanted the Austin for a while, but haven't found it in stores. Then I saw Warheart's contest.
I was amazed when I won. Ecstatic, if you will. Not only was the prize the Stone Cold figure, but a custom painted World Heavyweight Championship by Warheart himself. Ironically enough, one of my sister's little friends stole my toy WHC and a Razor Ramon Classic Jakks figure when I was out. As a small, unexpected bonus he included two Tazos metal pogs of Triple H and The Miz and a personal letter thanking me. I should be thanking him! A classy member indeed.
I have to say, the Stone Cold figure has really made me want to collect Mattel even more. The HBK Figure made me consider it, now this figure has made me sure. I need to collect Mattel.
On to the goods:
All pieces were included including the base. I was amazed at the detail on Austin, with his tattoo and accurate knee pads/braces and wrist tape. It took Jakks too long to get it right. This headscan is almost perfect.
Warheart's custom painted WHC blows the normal Jakks one out of the water.
Tazo's pogs and the base. For future classic series, I'd like to see a similar base with the Legends logo or something.
