Today I picked up Punk and Diesel E16 at a not-so-local Wal-Mart and randomly happened into a Big Lots that I didn't know existed on my way home and got a Legends Mr. Perfect for $9.
The C.M. Punk is just flawless, in my opinion. The colored tattoos make it so much cooler than the Battle Pack w/ Triple H version, which I also really like because of the attire/color scheme. I threw the shirt onto the Battle Pack so I can display the tattoos on the E16.
Diesel is surprisingly my favorite even over the C.M. Punk, which is what I wanted more. The head scan is decent, but what I really like is the maneuverability of the figure. For the life of me, I don't understand why Mattel can't just allow the knee pads of so many of their figures to break in the middle like Diesel.
Now granted I've only been collecting Mattels for a week, but is it just me or is the Perfect figure a little too scrawny? I've seen some complaints about the height of the figure, so I knew that going in, but the fact that he is skinnier than the C.M. Punk E16, specifically in the arms and waist, kind of bothers me. Not that big of a deal, though. Seeing as how Hennig is one of my all time favorites, it was a no-brainer that I pick this one up, especially for $9. Overall I still really like the figure especially with the towel and the IC belt.
Pretty good day for me. Last week when I broke down and started buying some of these Mattel's, I had originally decided I would only get Basics of the guys that I'm a fan of and a handful of my favorite Legends... When I saw the E16 Punk on RSC, I couldn't pass it up based on the attention to detail. After opening up all of the Elites I bought today I might just have to start forking over the extra money after all.
