Hi all! Crazy to think a whole month has passed by since I got to the US for my big trip (including a stop at WM30) but it has also been that long since I posted MOC pics of my bearer set that hit here in Australia back at the beginning of April. Anyways, I'm finally home and got to open them and finally add the Father of Destruction and one of the greatest managers of all time, Paul Bearer to my collection. He is nice and pale as mattel promised and the shadowing make up around his eyes looks more realistic/believable than it used to on jakks, etc. If you plan on buying/using parts from others, he is more closer in skin tone to ricardo. The hands are the same pale tone as the head. Unfortunately one of mine has a loose arm, this is one of the most frustrating things about BAFs is there seems to be a good chance of this happenning. Bearer fits well with both mattel and jakks scale. The look of Bearer is more based off his 2010 run and in the past few years where he stood alongside Kane. His torso is the same size as Heyman with the heavier looking jacket. The only complaint you could make about the bearer is he could be less lean however he was looking more healthier in the past few years. The scan has an awesome likeness. Definitely my favourite BAF so far. As for the actual basics, meh. Sandow is good but nothing exciting. Dolphs attire is cool with the pink, always suits him well and its nice to see something a little different. The Bryan is decent, its a bright red rather than the maroon. A good update though the scan is getting a bit old. Kofi is definitely the standout. The silver/grey batman attire looks great. Awesome scan, one of Mattels best. The tattoo work on his back and shoulders looks fantastic too. One of the best things about the set is definitely the carding, artwork looks great. Glad to have bearer and two of him, not sure what to do with the second lot of basics though. Its not an overly special set, but the BAF basics never really are.               Skin tone comparison   Jakks comparison  BAF comparison  Urn detail comparison compared to jakks - I just love how mattel captured the accurate likeness of the modern urn used in WWE. It even has a gold tinge. Urn is the same one from the elite punk and punk/taker 2 pack.          Ohhhhhh yeeeeeesss! |

Awesome! Thanks for the photos. I MUST get my hands on Bearer... he was always a favorite or mine, and too important not to have a figure of.

I love the Paul Bearer, but to be honest, I think I like the head scans on the old Jakks figures, mainly because it seems like hes starting to do an OOOOOHHHHHHH YESSSS! face. haha

Yikes, I might have to pass on this one....
I really want Bearer, but I don't want any of these figures.... I can't see paying over $45 just to get Paul Bearer.
Might have to wait until these guys shelf-warm a while and go on clearance, Buy-One-Get-One or something....

Love the title "The Father of DESTRUCTION" and epic pictures with the brothers of destruction. Can't wait the day I own these.

Awesome pics man. Like many others here, I wish this and the damn JR set would hit already in the US...it's ridiculous that 4 months ago we're told that they're 3-4 weeks out from the TRU Distribution Centers... -_-

Thanks for the pics man he looks sweet. |

Awesome !
I just wish they would eventually put out a carded Paul Bearer, for us MOMC collectors.
Still, it's an awesome figure in it's own right. The Kofi Kingston (Batman) is pretty sweet, but the rest are bleh at best.
Nice Pics

Awesome. Really cool. One of Mattel's best. Sucks it's not in a battle pack with Taker.

Nice I really want the Sandow and the '66 Batman Kofi. They are the only two I do want from that set besides Bearer so I guess I will pick up the other 2 as well. Thanks for the pics.

Great Gets bro! If you're wondering what to do with the second Paul Bearer and you know how to do some good painting, you should make either one of these two Pauls:
1. Manager of Kane Paul (Attitude Era) - Just paint the beard and mustache brown
2. Ministry of Darkness Paul - This one you could either paint the suit jacket and pants red, and paint the shirt and tie black, or keep the suit black and pain the shirt red to match the tie.

Besides Ziggler which looks alright, I'm not a fan of the attires. Still, Bearer himself looks fantastic. So do the details.
Thanks for the pics mate.
