So after I saw that Basic Series 5 was put up for sale on WWEShop, I instantly ordered Knox, RTruth, Melina, and for kicks, I added Dusty and Sarge from the Legends series. So they arrived today, and to my shock, my Melina was 1 in 1000 figure. It was a shocking surprise as I had no expectation that they would send me a 1 in 1000. Here are the MOC pics, and later tonight I'll have the loose pics along with review.
FYI- The Melina will not have loose pics since it is a 1 in 1000. I'll have loose pics when I get ahold of a regular Melina. Anyways, enjoy and Happy Hunting!
Again, hope you enjoyed. I'll have loose pics and reviews later this evening.

Ok, so since I didnt have much to do, I decided to get the loose pics and reviews up early this afternoon. So...here we go.
Sgt Slaughter- This is a pleasant change from the Jakks Slaughters. Its a different look, and when I first saw the Protos and MOC pics, I wasnt really sold on it. However, after purchasing it, this figure is an underrated figure. His head scan is incredible, and Mattel even gave him a slight comb over job on his hair (similar to what he had in his young days). However, tell me if Im wrong...but from certain angles, doesnt he kind of look like Hitler?
Anyways, they also gave him his trademark hat, a pair of aviator glasses, and a whistle. An interesting note on his glasses, Im highly impressed on how Mattel made the glasses where they truly stick onto his face and dont fall off by simply bumping the figure. Much like Cena, HBK, and Miz's hats in previous Elite series. Major props to Mattel for making the proper parts for specific figures.
R-TRUTH- This was a figure I was interested because of the new scan for Truth. Not that there was anything wrong with his elite scan, but it was just too serious. This new scan is a lot better likeness of R-Truth, and its a great figure. He comes with a white glove on his right hand, and his jeans are detailed with his name. A nice addition to my collection.
DUSTY RHODES: He was once the common man, working just as hard as he can. Today, hes a legend, whos also the father of the, self proclaimed, best looking superstar in the WWE. This Dusty Rhodes is another major plus by Mattel. In fact, I think the entire Legends series (now that I own all of series 1), was a perfect job by Mattel. The scan of Dusty is impressive, as they even capture the scars on his forehead. His trademark elbow pad and his knee pads all have polka dots on them. Mattel also threw in a polka dot shirt and headband. Lastly, he has very detailed boots. If you like WWE history, pick this one up.
MIKE KNOX- This instantly became my favorite fig Ive gotten in the recent weeks. The scan is amazing, and I LOVE the beard. Also, Mattel added the detail of chest and stomach hair. The sheer size and detail of Knox is up near the top of my all-time fav mattel figures. Funny thing is, its so simple, yet effective. Do yourselves a favor and find this figure for your collection. On a closing note, I find it interesting that Mattel has done a good job with chest and stomach hair, yet cant figure out how to get the facial hair going right.
So there you have it guys. Hope you enjoy. Leave comments, feedback, opinions, and show some love. Happy Hunting!
