My E23 JBL just arrived! Wow what an amazing figure! I preordered this bad larry way back when it first hit ringside. And I'm so glad I did as now I wouldn't even have money to afford one! It looks so damn good in person! And the cloth accessories are top class! No staining issues. More pics to come.. I read the title and immediately began humming his theme song. It took all this E23 jive to remember how badass his theme was haha. Anyway, AWESOME figure bro. I can not wait till I find him in retail! I wish I would have preordered him. You are soo lucky. I feel like because of his torso he hasn't been given the recognition he deserves as an amazing figure in the awesome line. If he would have been up for preorder when I preordered HHH, I so would have got him. Congrats bro

I think this figure would have benefited from coming with it's own Undisputed belt, even if it was the smaller version Eddie came with. I think the reason that he didn't was because it would hinder sales for RSE Brock. I know when I get my Brock the belt is going on JBL. When I think of the Undisputed championship JBL is always the the first guy I think of

Great fig. Glad you got it. No staining on the figure is a plus, but why the hell is your ring so dirty?! Yeah its actually all charred up from the various burning weapons I tend to use. Love to light my table up. haha nice! I love to use fake blood, surprisingly it does not stain at all. All you have to do is wash it off.

Everyone says that JBL's torso is wrong, meanwhile i'm sat here thinking it's the perfect torso for him, Austin's is a bit big and someone even suggested Chavo's elite torso lmao

Its the kind of figure that I guess you've gotta have in hand to respect. It really is a work of art. I just never liked the Barrett body because the legs always get all wobbly and loose on that body mold. But I've gotta say, it does fit JBl well. Much better than any Chavo LOL

I had no staining issues either! Sweet fig, one of the top 2-3 in the set! Of course I love first time to the line figures too.

i think it's awful. doesn't capture the likeness very well The dead expression and the solid color hair doesn't do it any favors. The Barrett torso is a decent fit for JBL's frame in terms of size, but he was definitely more flabby back then. Dude had no definition at all during his peak. Man, I didn't realize they just threw in a scrap of cloth for his towel instead of doing a proper one like Mr. Perfect's.

Exactly, the torso is just all wrong for JBL. I could see anything from the "Funk torso" to the "Austin Torso" (although the latter would be more suitable for his APA days) but this one....he was never that thin or ripped I agree. I'll prob get the baf announcer JBL when they do him. Or even better apa Bradshaw. This fig is all wrong similar to Mr Perfect. Comparing it to the Legends Mr. Perfect is a tad harsh don't ya think? I ean as much as I try to love the Perfect figure I just can't. The height issue is ridiculous.. JBL on the other hand is perfectly in scale with the other elites.
