I don't usually post "Hey everybody look what I just got" threads because we have a lot of people who get a lot of figures who make those posts and do it better than I can...but May 2016 may go down as one of my best months ever of collecting thanks to RSC's appreciation sale and the simultaneous release of new elite, basic and battle pack sets. I'm not going to assault your internet connections with dozens of pics...mainly because I'm a lazy bastard and my camera isn't that great anyway. But I wanted to share what made May 2016 so great for me so here's one big group shot:  Back Row: I combined the best parts of the last two Dean Ambrose elites to make what I consider the definitive version. Also, since we now have an official demon Balor elite I made my basic demon Balor custom into NXT Takeover: London by giving him the basic Adam Rose hat and a Matt Hardy coat I had lying around. In the middle is a basic Kevin Owens that seems redundant in light of the fantastic elite Owens just released and seen in the front row. |

Is Owen's belly for real? Or is it the shirt making it seem like theres a belly?

Elite Owens looks awesome in your pic.
I was debating, and might pick him up now.
Great haul!

My goodness, what an incredible photo.
Can't wait to get Joe & Owens. Loving the background too! It's got a serious attitude vibe.

. I'm very happy with it. Like pie in the sky head over heels happy to finally have a Mattel Samoa Joe. |

congrats on that big haul! Is that a spare fabric towel you gave Samoa Joe? I know the first protos had the fabric towel, but the recent set of protos showed a molded towel. I'm hoping for the molded towel. What did he come with originally?

I'm hoping for the molded towel. What did he come with originally? Yes, I swapped the plastic towel for a fabric one I had left over from some old Jakks figure. There is nothing wrong with the plastic one but I didn't want it pressing down on the cloth shirt and possibly causing staining in the long term. |

Still not liking the Becky and Bret face scans. Even though I am not a fan of the aviators, Bret may have to wear them whenever I get him. I don't think the wrap around shades would stay on his head since he doesnt have the hair holes for em or I'd give him the ones from the WMXXX Bret.

I didn't like the glasses that came with Bret when I put them on him so I put them on one of my Rock figures instead (which they do look great on). |
