hey all, i was able to get some cool new mattel pick ups here in japan. i've been living here for about a year and a half now for school, so it's pretty tough to collect mattels here. i picked up most of basic 1 when i was in the states back in december and i pick up random figures when they're on sale closest to US prices here in japan (they are usually double-triple the price here) or i have friends pick me up some before they come to visit me. while i went toy shopping with my girlfriend, i came across this one store that sells just loose jakks figs and to my surprise they had acouple of mattels (like maybe 7 of them). i noticed they had austin and dusty from the legends already and they were priced at about 9-10 dollars us, so i couldn't pass them up. here are some pics. enjoy. *updated 5/11* went back to the same area to return something and when i checked out the figure store they had this beauty in the case along with another dusty.

Very nice pick-ups! Indeed Austin & Dusty are 2 awesome figs. Especially Dusty. When I first saw Mattel's proto pics from their Toyfair (?) display, I was like "WTF? It looks awful" Maybe it was just the way the pic was taken or something. But had the chance to pick it up myself and its a really cool figure. It was missing his shirt but I'll make one for the American Dream.

The more I see that Dusty, the more I really want the figure. I can't wait for the Legends line to start showing up in my area, as I really want that figure along with Slaughter. Great buys man.
