OK so let me say I had no plans to go to Ringside fest today. I spent a lot of cash at NYCC and I had to work today so I figured there was no way. After seeing that HBK I was blown away. I nearly spit out my morning coffee! It is perfect (idc if it doesnt have knee pads) it was indeed HB SHIZZLE!!! Red hbk elite is the look I've wanted mattel to come out with for a while now.
So needless to say it wasnt a very productive day at work and I said screw it I'm gonna see if I can get in. I hopped on the train from my job in Brooklyn and made my way to RS Fest. I got there around 3:30 (rs fest ends at 4), there was no line and I asked the security guy if I could go in and buy some merch and he let me in. My first stop was at the booth where I picked up Rollins and Ambrose plus 2 brocks (which I originally ordered on RS but I said screw it i can save on shipping so i bought those and canceled my online order).
As I'm drooling over that HBK guess who I see.....@the1dean70 ! It was great to meet him face to face. Dean is even cooler in person. Was a pleasure sir! After chatting with him for a bit we were able to walk up and grab the figs and check them out in hand. I snapped some pics of hbk from the back and sides since they werent posted. All the figs were great but that hbk was MINT! The hair is perfect with the braids and the long sideburns. I was tempted to take it and run away lol. I also ran into ringside rsctrevor and spoke to him for a bit. He was very nice and took the time out to talk to me after what I'm sure was a looong day! Always great meeting new ppl. Anyways here are my pics.
****Extra Brock up for grabs if anyone is interested (no belt)****
I mean come on...look at this guy!
Sorry the pics are dark but the lighting wasn't the best in there.
You can see he has the snaps on the back and not the buttons.
My haul from today!
I was gonna put the elbow pads on but it looked like it was gonna be a pain to get them off so I didnt bother. I wanted him displayed without them anyway.
The new snaps still arent perfect but I'm glad mattel recognized the buttons weren't good enough and are making the effort to better them.
The shirt is cool but I'm gonna display him without it.
Why 2 Brocks? For the belt of course. Going on my Hogan.
Old and new belt comparison. The new belt is really big and kinda hard to fit around the waist of the smaller mattels. It wouldnt fit around the waist of my angle custom.
Different shots of guys with the belt.
Heyman trying to break the Brocks up!
Wait a min!
What are they doing!?!
He's dead!
F5!!!
NEW BROCK SUCKS!!!!
Thanks to MrPerfect25 for hooking me up with the legs! Booker can walk now!
The shield. It sucks hard that we dont have Reigns but I get why mattel didnt wanna put him in this set.
Table is ok. Nothing special.
The ladder is massive. Compared with ladder from E20 Cena.
Dean: Seth where the hell is Reigns?
Rollins: idk man
Who the...
Rock: I can fill in for him.
I'll be Rock Reigns!!!
Dean: Ah Rock I think we're good.
Rock: Alright guys but u better be ready when that storm hits. The numbers game might catch up to u soon.
Rollins: We could have used him.
Dean: We're the shield!!! The best faction in the history of wrestling! Even JBL says so!
YO SHIELD!
Hogan: Greatest faction of all-time?
Dean: We'll take u all on!
Hogan: HAHAHAHAHA! Yo Eric u believe this guy?
Hogan: Get em boys!
Hall: Say hello to the bad guy!!!!
Macho: OH YEA!!! Dig this!!!
Hogan: Take him for a ride brother!
Giant: What about this one?
Hogan: Eric get the cuffs! Cuff him Mach!
Hogan: Point the camera at me brother! No body is better than the nWo dude!!! We're the best thing going today! Cuz we're just TOOOOOOO SWEEEEEEET!!!
Hogan: I'm the man brother! Now u better learn to not mess with the nWo!!!!
A quick shot of my current shelf. When I started collecting mattels I never intended to get current guys but I really enjoy the current brand as opposed to 3-4 years ago where I couldn't watch a second of it.
