Toss it in the trash?. Don't you like your set to be complete? I'm not really an accessory type of person. Chairs, mics, animals (Steamboat's dragon, Robert's snake etc.)and such hold no interest to me to be honest. About the only thing like that I'll keep is the belts when they start making them.

PJ thanks for the detailed pics man, much appreciated!
That Snuka is actually growing on me too. I'm disappointed Rude doesn't have Warrior on his tights but in a way, if you were matching Rude up against another superstar other than Warrior, would you really want Warrior's face on his tights then?
As for the dude who will not collect the entire Legends line because of this omission...boy are you going to miss out. I suppose you never collected Jakks after CS12 or something heh.
About the only thing I wish Mattel included was a sack for Jake to keep Lucifer in. But I strongly suspect we'll see more Jakes and Rudes in the future.
Now why hasn't my pre-order been processed yet!

That Jake The Snake looks awesome. Although I have no use for the actual cobra so I'll probably just toss it in the trash. The rest of the set looks nice but I have no interest in them. I wish Snuka had been in his trunks instead of the long tights. Toss it in the trash?. Don't you like your set to be complete? I do that with everything that isn't a wrestler specific item. So chairs, tables, ladders & cookie trays have all been tossed in the past.

Very nice, thanks for the pics PJ. I prefer Snuka in trunks and barefoot too. Do you think I should wait for one or is the Snuka figure with tights and boots worth getting?

It has flaws like the hair is wrong and his legs could be thicker (although Snuka did have a much larger upper body then lower body) And with the Kevin Von Erich figure coming it's almost certain there will be a barefooted Snuka in trunks...but at the end of the day I do really like it.

I think the battery's the problem. Maybe you need to change the battery. Busted ones drain extremely fast. Anyway, thanks for the pics. I'm kinda liking Legends 2 more than the first one. Though, like you said, a bare-footed Snuka would have been awesome.

I'm kinda liking Legends 2 more than the first one. Though, like you said, a bare-footed Snuka would have been awesome. Yeah we think it might be the battery also because it just drains so quickly now, but the camera is so old (at least 8 or 9 years now) that we think it's time to upgrade it anyway. Also I just added some comparison pics with some of their Jakks counterparts.

Thanks for the comparison pics!, Snuka may be my favurite from the lot. I also like the Piper Elite custom you did.
Sorry for this PJ, but when the other order of this set comes, you open them aswell?

Thanks. Glad you like him. Yes I open everything. But I only have another Snuka coming. The others I get from this set will be picked up locally once they hit. One set will be my display set. They will be the ones with the best looking paintjob of each figure. They don't get touched once on the display shelves. And the others will be my messing around with set where I'll take the doubles of my favorites and display them at my computer and switch up the poses every few days. If I really like a figure I'll get another to keep MOC
Speaking of displaying wouldn't it be cool for people who display their figures that some of the wrestlers came with interchangeable hands. I know with the safety regulations it'll probably never happen because of it being a potential choking hazard, but wouldn't it be cool if you could pose Superfly on a turnbuckle with his hands in the "I love you" pose? Sarge saluting or Savage with his thumb and index finger together with the other three sticking out like they were when he'd say "Oh Yeah!" or "Can you dig it?" Piper doing his eye pokes? All would be fun/cool for displaying.
Then speaking of Snuka and his "Superfly leap" I think it would be kinda cool if in the corners of the top of the cage and on the top turnbuckles there's a little peg for the feet to attach to so he could be posed doing his "Superfly leap". I think it would work well on the top corners of the cage, but with the turnbuckles that might loosen the ropes after a while of him being perched there. So maybe they could add a flat clear piece of plastic that could attach to the ring post and lay flush with the top turnbuckle that you could place him on to look like he's on the top turnbuckle without actually adding any stress to the ropes? Just a couple thoughts I had.

thanks for the great pics as always PJ
i might pick up Rude and kamala to use the heads on my RAs as I like the scans better. Might get sheik as well for the same reason but i'm not sure the head would fit...

I kept my Jakks IE/Limited ones moc and some UK Exlusives from Argos moc. But the rest are open. I just got the TNA Sting and going to order the Legends. But I don't know what to do with them.

Nice. Since I wasted so much money on Jakks crap, which I will able to sell for a fraction of what I paid, I will only get a few from each set. This set's will be Jake, Kamala, and Rude.

Does Kamala's necklace not come off? I'm sure it does although I didn't try. I'll look when I get home.

Yes the necklace does come off easily.

Wow, these all look great and there is something about your loose pics that makes them more appealing to me.
I would definitely like to pick up the whole set once they are in stores, but thanks for sharing the pics in the meantime.
