All opened!
Elite 22
Tensai-his new headscan, poison mist hand mold and all his tattoos look amazing; it seems his trunks are a production error, as there is an obvious crease where they should end rather than extend all the way down to the thigh joint; the entrance helmet and robe look great but I hate the lack of movement in his robe.
Giant-decent headscan and good choice for his body but the painted rather than molded singlet has Jakks written all over it; the nWo shirt is a nice accessory; I`m glad Mattel made Giant, but I can`t help but think that this wasn't their best effort.
The Rock-nice new headscan and torso for Rock; his tattoos look fantastic as always but the new WWE title is what makes this figure a must buy, it looks outstanding!
Big Show-comes with a shiny World title; this headscan is a 100% upgrade over the silly smiling headscan used for 2 straight years; his skull cap and camo attire (including his boots for the first time!) looks great but could have benefited greatly with the addition of the gold trim Show has been sporting on his singlet for quite some time; I wonder what is stopping Mattel from making a molded fist for Big Show it's not like they wouldn't use it again regardless, this is the best Big Show figure to date.
Damien Sandow-one of the best figures Mattel has done yet; his headscan, robe and attire are perfect and the microphone in which to address the unwashed masses is the perfect choice for an extra accessory.
Kane-he comes with a nice shiny tag team title; has glossy boots this time around; the new headscan is fantastic but the detailing on his attire (specifically to the molding on his top) is inferior to the E19 figure; also, why bother to include a mask that doesn't fit?
Very nice set overall but plenty of room for improvement.
Series 31
Wade Barrett-freakin' awesome headscan, accurate new attire and tremendously detailed tattoos, especially for a basic figure; easily one of, if not the best, Barrett figure yet!
Truth-another one of Mattel's best headscans with all Truth's piercings included; the bright yellow and blue on the white pants really looks sharp; amazing basic figure.
Battlepacks 23
CM Punk-decent basic Punk figure with a nice attire but basic Punk's are so inferior to all the detailing on the elites that they are barely worth buying simply to display; the kendo sticks are one of my favorite accessories though
Mr. Mcmahon-nice to get another Vince, especially one in wrestling attire; same headscan as the mail away figure but the grey hair makes it alot more detailed and accurate.
Cody Rhodes-his black, purple and white attire is really sharp looking and finally the mustache has made its debut!
Sin Cara-Sin's figures are always nice but if you have the BOPPV elite figure you certainly don't need this one; the additional mask is a pretty cool accessory.
Kofi-tremendous headscan, bright detailed attire and the perfect torso mold for Kofi; awesome basic.
Mysterio-one of the most unique Rey figures of the Mattel collection; the mask and cape (which appears un-removable)look especially cool; simple but slick black and silver color scheme.
Ringside exclusive "Hardcore" Kane
one of Kane's best attires looks great and I'm happy Mattel made it; the hardcore championship is cool to finally have and it's interesting to note that the belt is one solid piece of rubber rather than having removable plates.
Still not as good as the Jakks R3 version though, one of my favorite figures ever.
Kane vs Kane!
Big Show vs Giant!
AJ and Punk in their new gear!
I won't mention any names.
Best in the woooooooooooorld!
Thanks for looking
