I had pre-ordered these in July along with Battle Pack 19, but once I found out BP 19 got pushed to late October I had to split my order cause I desperately wanted these figures!
I'm not home so I don't have access to my RAW entrance stage, but here are some of the pics I took!
Best of 2012
Rey Mysterio
completely useless figure to me, I hated it the first time it was released and this is no better (besides having 2 open hands), keeping it in the package for now until I can figure out what to do with it, maybe I'll drop it in a Toys for Tots bin for Christmas
Alberto Del Rio
wasn't planning on opening this figure either but I decided to break down and open it because the attire is decent, might do a head swap with 1 of his earlier figures
The Great Khali
Another figure that I didn't really NEED but decided to get anyway, the attire is nice, but not really something to get excited over.
(my girlfriend quickly became infatuated with Alicia's fox hood and this was the end result)
Sin Cara
love the color scheme for this figure, makes me excited to get his elite 18 figure in white
Brodus Clay
nice updated Brodus in anticipation of the upcoming Funkasaurus elite which is 1 I'm really looking forward to, its also useful because the original Brodus that I got from Ringside last year had the loosest shoulder joints ever
Daniel Bryan
To many, including myself this will be the gem of the set and it really is awesome. The updated headscan and attire are very cool, and will be an awesome addition to my Daniel Bryan collection! might pick up another at retail when I see them so I can put the head on his elite 12 figure
Basic 23
Hunico
when I first saw this I was incredibly disappointed with how it looked, after having it I can honestly say that I'm still not exactly in love with it, I think I'm gonna give him the Chavo Guerrero headband and maybe some sunglasses or something when I get home, maybe that will help it out.
Triple H
I haven't opened this figure yet, I am not a fan of basic Triple H figures, the head scan is very nice, still like the BP18 scan better, might open this in a few days but still not sure yet
Santino Marella
I was excited for this figure, but after getting it I realized that his chest tattoo is not on this figure, what gives? Is this something Mattel does with his basic figures? I only have his elite figure that has the chest tattoo so i'm curious if all of his other basics are like this.
Rey Mysterio
ah, yes 2 completely useless Rey's in my set of 12, you guessed it, not opening this 1 either.
Alicia Fox
I am not a fan of Alicia Fox, I feel like its only a matter of time before she legit hurts someone in the ring with her many botches, but this figure is 1 of my favorite diva figures yet. The head scan is incredible, the outfit is great and the added fox hood makes it even cooler. Here's a question, how can Mattel justify all the bells and whistles for this Alicia figure yet they can't make a proper AJ?
Kane
probably my most anticipated figure from this set, made more anticipated by the fact that Kane and Bryan have been awesome lately. Really like this figure, and I'm sure it will be a hot seller once it hits retail.
Kane thought he looked good with Alicia's hood, Bryan made the mistake of making fun of him..
group shot (of opened figures) & current champions (minus Cesaro)
now onto a figure that I absolutely had to have once I saw the great work Dean did for someone. About a month or 2 ago Dean posted pictures of a Lex Luger he made using a Ring Masters WCW Lex and as soon as I saw it I bought the Ring Masters figure from Amazon and sought out his help in getting a good looking Mattel Lex to put with my nWo.
After getting all the parts necessary I sent it to Dean and just got this in the mail yesterday, it came out exactly how I would have hoped, and I can't wait to get home and put him with the rest of my nWo!
