Really?! I am pretty sure I had mentioned before he was the reason I did watch any NXT. And again when someone asked why I bought his NXT Elite figure but not Gargano’s to complete DYI. My answer was I was fan of Ciampa so I wanted both his basic and Elite NXT figures but I only need the basic Gargano. Okay We know for a fact PJ only collects wrestlers he enjoys watching so with that said, I never in a million years expected you to be a Jinder Mahal fan!  Don’t hinder Jinder! lol That was a total impulse buy. I had struck out on finding the DC and ML figures I went out looking for and on top of that every B93 Triple H I had seen up to that point had horribly painted eyes. They a looked cartoonish. And I didn’t want to go home empty handed (yes I am weak that way) so I picked it up because it was the only figure I didn’t have that looked good. That’s the same reason Carlito, Hornswaggle and any basic Finlay is in my collection. lol |

Anyway, it's going to be an agonising wait for E69 to reach these shores. |

I did pick up another EG Goldberg at Target for $22. I felt the eyes were aligned better on this one than the two I already have.  |

Further proof the Ultimate Edition torso is completely worthless and ugly af Yeah, I'm not really keen on the new UE torso. It doesn't look too bad on the Warrior figure - but on Bret and (especially) Nakamura...  |

The torso looks worse and worse the more I see it. So visually unpleasant. A complete break in "realism".

UPDATE 7/28While I do like the Elite ab crunch better with the cut hidden in the abs the Ultimate Edition one isn’t as bad as I thought it would be in person. The worst thing about it is the cut isn’t hidden anymore. And this morning I picked up two B97 Hitman figures at Walmart and the BP58 DX at Target.

How is Bret in terms of scale? Looks like the shorter parts combo they used on the HOC 2-pack.

I got my Ronda and UW from the same target last week. They also have the micro maniax ring.

Was your Ronda the one with the black scuffs on her shirt or were you lucky enough to get the one that was better? There is a slight smudge (more like a tiny black line) on the left breast. There was another Ronda there when I went which was on the 26th too. You must have got there right before me because there was only one UW. There was this chick in the store with the fattest ass I’ve seen in all of Rockland county. Light skinned jawn. Keep an eye out for her. It was like she was following me because I’d also just seen her outside of the dollar tree in Nanuet where I got the last three Finn Balors. I’d have hollered but I was with my wife and we were heading back to philly that day anyway. |

Does anyone have any idea why Mattel sculpted those hands in the weirdest position possible, and then only gave them to Latino wrestlers? Also was it difficult fitting an old style hand in the new arms? |
