Whats up everyone? I usually don't do these kinds of threads, but I just love looking at these new figures so I had to share my thoughts with you all on what I snagged!
From left to right:
• Elite 25 Bruno Smmartino - Never thought I'd buy a figure of an old timer like this but what can I say? I'm a wh*re for the Flashbacks so I gotta catch 'em all like a small boy from China. Overall it's a solid figure though. Looks a lot like him, Mattel does a bang up job yet again, the only thing that would've made him even better would be if he came with the WWWF Title instead of the HOF accessories. Oh well...
• Elite 24 Trish Stratus - This only the second one I've ever bought after E19 Liz. I never really did buy the chicks when it came to collecting Wrasslers. It's a decent figure though. I would've given her a more memorable and sluttier outfit but it's for the kiddies so. I'm not that impressed with the Women's Title, it's nice to have it but I feel like they're more capable of doing a better job. All criticisms aside it is great to have her in figure form non the less.
• TRU Exclusive Mail-Away Mr. McMahon - This ones been a long time coming! I never thought I'd get this one because of the outlandish prices. But thanks to the RSC Holiday Sale I snagged this beaut along with RSC Brock for $70. I just figured F*ck it that boils down to $35 a piece (a little more than I like to pay per fig, buy hey its TRU Vince!). Anyway, He's all he's cracked up to be! He looks great. It's Mattel at its finest. Buts it's a damn shame they never mass produced this figure. I'd like to see them do a Flashback Young Vince.
• RSC Exclusive Flashback Brock Lesnar - I love this Brock Lesnar Flashback. It's badass. I hated the price (still do) but glad I grabbed him. It's a beautiful piece, plus the Undisputed Title puts it over the top (to be honest that straps going over E18 Taker's shoulder on my shelf). In my opinion, if its the only Brock in your collection, then your set.
• Elite 25 Seth Rollins - My favorite part of this guy is the the fact that he comes with a break-away table and tall ladder lol! He's my least favorite member of The Shield. Although they are a convincingly bad ass team on TV, I feel like they can do without him, he's the weak-link. Anyhow, I do like this figure, it's too bad they did his hair in a ponytail it probably would've looked better with his hair down. Having said that The Shield wouldn't be complete on my shelf without him so screw it. Glad to have him.
• TRU Exclusive Build-A-Figure Paul Heyman - Just swooped him up from my boy DeadManFan92 for hookin' me up with a a sweet deal for this awesome figure! I'm stoked to have him, I love the evil grimace on his face. It's just what I want, s heel Heyman to go with Brock. I can't wait to get Perfect's Boy to sew up my Heyman guy collection!
• Elite 25 Dean Ambrose - I'm not a fan of his at all. To be honest I don't even know why I bought him. I think the real reason why I care about The Shield is because of The Great One's Cousin Roman Reigns. I think he'll be the biggest star of the three members of The Shield. On to the figure: it's a good representation of him. I think I want to replace the head with B33's but I'm won't bother with it. He looks pretty sick with the US Title, I been looking for somebody new to slap it on. I guess it found a new home for a while. Basically if I thought a figure sucked, I wouldn't put a belt on it so.
• Elite 24 Ryback - Ya know, I had no intentions of getting another Ryback figure. I thought the E21 one was garbage, as it's body mass was way too small (so is E25s) and the headscan looked too goofy. But the deco on E25s reeaally makes this thing shine! Its a beautiful thing of art! The headscan looks way better than E21s too. Now, I know he never held the IC Title (can't imagine why - EVEN Santino Marf*ckinella has) but it sure does look good on him and on my shelves I'm the damn promoter! lol! Anyway, It's also a plus he comes with a chair, Mattel's chairs are super sh*tttin' on Jakks chairs for sure. This is definitely one of those figures that just pleasantly surprises a collector and I'm happily adding him to my collection Thanks to fellow WFigs member goro! Thanks again, buddy!
You still here? ... ... ... Nice. Anyways, thanks for stickin' around and listening to my rambling on these awesome Mattel Figs. I love what these toy makers at Mattel do! I know they get a lot of sh*t but I give these guys an A+ on the job they do. These are the best damn figures I've ever seen!
Feel free to leave comments the good, the bad, the whatever. Your comments/feedback are welcomed! Thanks!
