Hey guys! I am back here for my first ever Figure Review! I will discuss everything about the figure Plus My thoughts on Mattel.
SGT. SLAUGHTER
When I first saw the proto I was like no way am I getting this figure but once I saw this at TRU I had to get it! It looked just like him with the addition of a whistle (which broke when taking it out of the package
) Glasses and Hat with the logo on it. I have no complaints with it really I just feel it could have came with a jacket or something but I guess they made it based on this style of attire he wore which probably didn't have a jacket. So I rate this 7.5/10 as The attire is a little plain.
"THE AMERICAN DREAM" DUSTY RHODES
I didn't see myself getting this either but I really Love this figure! it blows away the Jakks version of this figure plus the very first dusty there was with the black trunks and it had no birthmark. However I took off the shirt and long behold, it has his birthmark! I Just wish there was more flexibility with the elbow for his Bionic elbow action. I also would Like more of an NWA attire also the head is a different color than his body so I rate this 7/10. It blows away Jakks by far but Mattel can surely make better versions of Dusty down the road.
ROAD WARRIORS
AHHHH WHAT A RUSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw Hawk alone in TRU a few weeks back but no Animal. I had to pick Hawk up cuz it looked so damn good! a week ago I get a text from my dad saying "Animal is in Walmart" so luckily he picked em up for me and As you see I have them both! tremendous Figures and my only complaint is the Shoulder pads are a B1tch to get off. but as far as they look I rate them each a 10 so they get a 20. Thank you Mattel for making my 2nd favorite Tag Team of all time, two of the best damn figures all year!
"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN
OH HELL YEAH! I must say after seeing this I loved it! I had the WWE Shop Exclusive Stone Cold and was pretty happy with it except the legs were too close together. I also love this figure because it commemorates when I first got into wrestling at 6 years old and he was one of the first people I have seen on My TV while my dad would Record the Monday Night Wars. This also Includes a Austin 3:16 T shirt for Promo times and to f*ck up vince! Not to mention that it has his Texas Tattoo on his leg which the Jakks one doesnt. It didn't come with his Smoking Skull belt so I just gave it to em being that I have it luckily
otherwise. this gets a 10/10 Thanks again Mattel You Rock!
RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT
The figure that Jakks never gave us and Mattel did. I must say it is a top notch figure and comes with his Kimo.... Alligator
It is a little small but this figure is to scale because after all Ricky was a small guy. If you notice it looks like he has battle damage on his body! That is VERY cool! I just kinda wish the Headband was removable. This figure will get a 8.7/10 Thanks Mattel for giving us the unthinkable! =)
Group Shot
Overall, I never dreamed of getting the whole set but If I was able to complete this set, I can only imagine what to get in the future. I am also proud to say this series, is the very first series I completed from Mattel ! ;D
"DASHING" Cody Rhodes
I already had Santino, Cena and HBK from Elite Series 3 and I saw this figure in a small Toys R Us in Jersey City by the Holland Tunnel and I had to pick it up! Not much of a fan of Cody nor am I of WWE now, but to me, figures commemorate the successful job of a figure company and highlight the athlete in the best form possible! Now onto the figure, it looks sooo much like Cody Rhodes than the Jakks did and adds his infamous socks or whatever you'd call them that are striped that he's wore for months now and comes with his Legacy T shirt and has the logo on his tights! not much complaints about Cody. I'll give this a 9.5/10 because I just don't feel its TOP NOTCH but still a good figure. I wouldn't mind a Cody that comes with his Jacket that he does wear on SmackDown (I think he's on there idk I just saw him in the MITB match at the PPV and he had a jacket lol)
THE MIZ
He is the Miz, and His figure is AWESOME!!! I know this is his outdated attire but I really enjoy this figure, I'd approve more of the shirt that says Cena with a censor over it but this is cool too! The hat with the bandana coming out is very awesome and the hat is detailed. I added a Briefcase to him being that he is the MITB winner. I like the cut/lines on his head but not a fan of the hair color. I rate this 8/10.
MATTEL COLLECTION
I was a Jakks Die Hard and my only 2 mattels were HBK and Cena which I got in May at a indy show when meeting Jushin "Thunder" Liger and watching him put on a classic against TNA's Homicide. I didn't care much for mattel but I saw the comic con photos 4 weeks ago and within 2 weeks I have all these figures + have Elite 2 Ted Dibiase and Triple H, Basic 2 Rey Mysterio, 1/1000 Basic 1 Evan Bourne, Elite 4 Kane, and the Elite Scale Ring all on the way. I still have My JAKKS figures and I do blend them with Mattel and it works nicely but I will say that Jakks and Mattel got me to split between with having Sting and Macho Man as well as many wrestlers from TNA and WWE that haven't had a figure made ever or in years. This is a Mattel Review so for Right Now, Thank you Mattel! keep up the bad ass work and I will remain a customer!
That was my review, hope you all liked it!
