UPS guy dropped these off this afternoon. Just ordered them off Amazon yesterday. $29.97 shipped to my door and they shipped them overnight. God I love my Prime membership with them.
Anyway...I just ordered them instead of wasting my time stopping at Target every time I'm in the area looking for them. Was originally only planning on getting Barrett from the series but after thinking it over I decided to pull the trigger and get Sheamus & Morrison as well. I'm glad I did as all 3 figures are awesome.
Let's start with Sheamus. I wasn't sure how I felt about the darker red hair when I first saw pics but after seeing it in person I think it looks pretty cool. Makes this figure have something different besides the attire from his basic 7. Plus it goes to show how much detail Mattel puts into their figures because if I remember correctly Sheamus did have his hair darker at the PPV then he normally does. It's also nice to see the quick turn around on getting him in his "King" Sheamus attire. While I think the gold and green could have been a bit brighter I'm still very pleased to have an updated Sheamus so soon.
Now onto Morrison. I wasn't a huge fan of his new scan when I first saw pics...but much like Sheamus is looks a lot better in person then what the pics show. While it's not perfect...it's still a solid scan. Resembles Morrison's updated look pretty well. The attire is also very cool. I love the black/silver design. One of my favorites of his. Overall my favorite Morrison figure they've made so far. Just have to grab my extra fur coat from Karisno and throw it on and this will be one of my favorite figures I currently own.
Now as far as Barrett goes I was planning on removing the Nexus armband so it could be more of a Corre version of Barrett...but I decided to keep the armband and I'll just do an arm swap with Daniel Bryan's basic 11 figure whenever I get it. That way I can display the Basic 11 Bryan in with the rest of the original Nexus members on the shelf. So let's just hope the skin tones match. I'm guessing they will as Barrett has the generic tone which is what I'm guessing they'll use for Bryan. While still not the flashiest attire Barrett has worn it's still a lot better than his Basic 10 attire. Still has the neck issue but honestly it doesn't bother me too much. Same headscan as his Basic 10 counterpart which is fine...since it is pretty much spot on. When it's all said and done if you don't own a Barrett figure yet I would say get this one over his Basic 10. But you can't go wrong with either one.
Also...here are some loose pics of the 3 figs I got in a trade earlier this week. Got these along with 80 mattel stands. The Steamboat is obviously from 2 Packs 5 where the Austin & Rock are both from the TRU IC box set.
Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed!
