just got back a few days ago from being away for two weeks, had these two boxes waiting for me when I got home, took some pics of these awesome new figures!
first off, Elite 17 is a great set, its got a ton of repaints but with the little tweaks here and there to each figure I'm very happy with this set.
Kofi Kingston
first off I don't know much about Masters of the Universe, so the Battle Cat attire doesn't really do much for me other then the fact that I like it matches Elite 15 Bourne, the new torso for Kofi looks great and is very unique, the headscan seems to be an upgrade to me as well, I'm just tired of the old Kingston scan, and I'm very happy to finally have a set of 2 shiny tag titles regardless of how hideous they are, really like this figure.
John Cena
shockingly this is 1 of my favorite figures from the set, I really like the new shorts mold, I wish the feet moved a little better but I honestly like this Cena a lot
Zack Ryder
I don't get all the hate for the headscan I've seen from some people, the scan doesn't really bother me that much. The internet championship is a really nice treat considering its not even a real title, I think I'm really just happy to have an updated Elite Ryder, its been long enough. The complaint I have for this figure is the hair color, too bright to me
Sheamus
Pretty nice figure, updated attire is cool, really not much to say about this one because I was pretty content with my other elite Sheamus but still a good figure
Kelly Kelly
The attire and headscan are very nice and the painted/shiny Divas Championship is worlds better then the garbage they gave to the Bella's, I guess the Divas title alone is justifiable enough to make Kelly 16.99 + at retail but when you get down to it, its just a basic Kelly with a belt.
Mankind
Once again Mattel hit a home run, I know its probably blasphemy to say but I was never really a HUGE Foley fan as a kid, always appreciated him and the crazy stuff he did he was just never 1 of my favorites, this figure however is easily 1 of my favorite flashbacks to date
after seeing how awesome Mankind was I got the itch to reconstruct my Hell in a Cell and re-create (to my best ability) 1 of the most infamous moments/matches in WWE history.
also here are some recent fix ups and an updated current roster/fix up collection shot
B18 Cody with Del Rio knee pads and boots
BOPPV Elite Bret with Raven's gigantic head, Dolph forearms, not done with this yet, but I just wanted to get peoples thoughts on it
pics of my first Jakks pick ups in a over a year will be in the Jakks board soon
