Well, seeing it's UPS it wouldn't arrive today (Sat) as they only deliver Saturday & Next Day Airs on Sat mornings. That didn't even occur to me since I usually use USPS. Thanks for letting me know, since USPS won't be around much longer unless Congress intervenes. That being said it looks like I'll be exclusively using UPS or courier soon. RIP USPS

No problem. Mine is supposed to b here today. Where is that damn truck! Lol...That's how I was yesterday. And the later it got the more impatient I got. I'm glad he came yesterday because I couldn't get to enjoy him today because once we got home from our daughter's drama class this morning I spent the rest of the day painting her room. The benifit I got out of that was I now have another bookcase that she didn't want anymore. ;D

I've been hearing that the Flag is made out of the same material as Duggan's flag. So, that means they're both paper? Yep Darn. Thanks, man.

Mail just came, STILL no Bret, I'm kind of bummed about it too. I figured being in NJ I would've gotten it today. I guess I'll have to wait until Monday I'm in Staten Island, so I was hoping the same, but it hasn't arrived yet. Haven't received an email notification either. Have you?

I emailed RSC today, and they responded tonight with my shipment notification. For some reason I have to request it from them anymore, I don't get it right when it ships. But mine says it's coming Monday, so I'm assuming it will probably be the same for you.

Thanks PJ for the awesome pics.
I must say I wasn't really excited about this figure from the MOC pics that we had seen from Comic Con. But these loose pics are really starting to warm me up to him. I think its the glasses and the hair that are making me not like him that much. I don't like that the glasses aren't pink. And as far as the hair goes, the strands that hang in his face look too thick, almost like he's got dreadlocks lol. I think as far as the hair goes I prefer Jakks version. Those 2 things aside, I really like Mattels Bret since seeing PJ's loose pics. The face scan is amazingly spot on, and great detail on the attire. The jacket is a nice touch, but would prefer it to be his "general" style jacket.
Still on the fence with this one. The DM price tag may be a bit steep for me when it comes down to it, but we'll see. As I mentioned on another thread, I'm sure when I see it I'll mark out like crazy and may buy it anyways. Maybe if I pass we will eventually get a Legends thats similar

Wow, that Bret is awesome! I'm not much of a Legends collector, but this might have to be my first Defining Moments figure.

Thanks guys. Glad you like the pics. Gonna post pics of the Jakks glasses on the Hitman, PJ? Sorry I was painting our daughter's room yesterday and wasn't able to get around to it. here you go - I don't like them on him for the same reaso I didn't like them on the Jakks head -because they go over his hair. If they were to go under the hair like Mattel's then they'd be a win, but they look silly with the hair under them. Excellent review PJ and I LOVE the note to Mattel. Thanks. We so need a Legends HBK now. Did yours arrive? And how do you like the Cena?

Another question for ya, what color skin tone does he have? Or I guess more importantly, who does he match with (is Tyson Kidd too dark?)? I'm interested in getting another one eventually and using him for a custom, but need to know whose body parts I could swap on him

Yes they look to be the same, but if you are going to make an Owen you'll need to find someone with the same skintone in the lower legs also because Tyson has kickers with part of the kicker being molded to the calves

Hey Ash I know ur strictly an RA collector but if there ever was a figure to buy from mattel and keep as is, it really is this one. I think putting this head on an RA fig wouldn't do it justice! As much as I loved my MSJ 2 pack Bret, this is on another level.

Thanks for the response PJ! Im wondering, if the elastic is taken off, and the glasses trimmed down, Would they fit under his hair?
