So I've been meaning to get my blog back up and running with some figure reviews and decided why not pick the Avatar Rey to start with, since it's such a great figure.
So if you want to read the review through my blog...click this:

If not, I'm posting it here anyway.
Booyaka Booyaka!
Av-a-tar!
Rey Mysterio is known for his flashy & cool attires at PPV events. Usually at Wrestlemania he brings a special themed attire. For this year's wrestlemania Rey dressed up like a Na'Vi from the blockbuster movie Avatar.
As you can see from the front shot, Mattel really nailed the costumes bright blue colors. He comes with a removeable vest as well. The details on this figure in comparison to the real costume he wore are pretty much 100% accurate. Even down to the colors. His display stand is in normal Mattel style with yellow highlighting instead of red.
I've always been a fan of Mysterio and of the figures he's had. Mattel really got a good one here. The details on his arms are very clean. He did wear a gold mesh netting on his real costume however I give the benefit of the doubt here that it would have been difficult to produce.
His legs are dark blue "tiger" striped with an orange highlighted "619" going down both sides. 619 of course representing the area code of Mysterio's hometown.
The back of the vest features a tribal symbol. Unfortunately he is missing the long braided ponytails. May have had to do with a copyright issue. Either way, the back of his mask is accurate & when the vest is removed he has his complete back tattoo. Can't ask for more.
Finally the front of the figure features logos on the vest similar to those on Mysterio's mask. Complete with orange eyes. He has a straight faced scan with full details on his mask. Taking the vest off reveals Rey's chest tattoos. In full effect. Even his eyes are yellowed just like the Na'Vi people!
That's it for this review.
If I were to rate this figure out of 5 stars it would get a 4 1/2.
The blue is bright, and crisp. The painting is accurate and really stands out, the arm details are great.
The only thing from keeping it absolutely flawless is the lack of a braided ponytail and the gold on his right forearm not looking like a mesh net. Minor details, however I hope you all realize the awesomeness of this figure, surely a fine piece of work from Mattel.
Until next time...
