I have absolutely no use or no where to put that but it looks really cool for a kid to play with I just bought it today. I'll tell everyone it's for my girls but I can trust people here. It was totally for me. Planning on using my boys as an excuse! I've been waiting for an ambulance playset since the late 2000s |

Yesterday was my birthday, and it was quite the experience, I was unboxing my Star Wars Black Series Snowspeeder and I was cutting Dak Ralter loose from the package, when I accidentally stabbed myself in the hand   . Blood everywhere, had to spend my afternoon in the ER to get stitches. Not the ideal way to spend the day.. anyway, got a bunch of great gifts and still some I'm waiting on (Mr. T & Greg Valentine were supposed to be delivered today, ugh) and a bunch of stuff from my girlfriend. I put a lot of other pictures up in the other toy threads, so if you want to see more check those out.   Legends 7 Razor RamonLucky me, got the version with the chain OVER his head, sadly I don't have the strength in my hand to pop the head off and put the chain underneath right now, but once I do, I will lol.     Legends 7 Bobby HeenanI will probably never take the weasel suit off of this figure just because I've seen the horror that lies beneath (those weird legs), I always thought the Jakks weasel Heenan was cool but obviously never had it, since I have the other 2 Heenans on my regular display, I've decided to put this 1 on my GOATs display since it stands out so much and he obviously deserves representation there.    WCW Smash n Slam Macho Manquite the throwback huh? at the beginning of quarantine I set out to start 2 collections to pass the time, 1 was the Simpsons Playmates collection which I finished off fairly quickly. The next was a Macho Man Randy Savage collection. I wanted at least ONE figure representation of all the brands he's been featured in, LJN, Hasbro, ToyBiz, OSFTM, Mattel, Funko, etc.
I didn't grow up in the heyday of Macho Madness, but he was always so damn cool to me when I started watching. The in ring work, the promos, the colorful gear, how could you not like him? I already had like 95% of his Mattel's, so the task was going back and getting at least one of all the old figures. For ToyBiz it was between this, the white nWo outfit, or the What Up Mach' era Savage. I went with the Wolfpac Savage since it was the one I had as a kid. My intent was to open it, but after seeing how great the packaging is after all these years, it's staying MOC for now. I think I'm just about done with the collection for now, and I love how it came out. I have a Funko Savage on my wrestling Funko display and a few other elites in my other set ups, so I do have more things to add to this, but I didn't want to ruin those displays. Can't wait for the Ultimate Savage and the rumored new Funko. The artwork for anyone wondering is from Hal Haney art, who actually just did an amazing '50 shades of The Rock'.      other pick ups and gifts from the last (very expensive) month... Got this birthday card from my girlfriends parents, think it goes pretty good with this figure!           I have the complete set of AEW Unrivaled Series 1 waiting for me at my girlfriends house, and Ringside just shipped out my Elite 78 + Series 111, can't wait to finally have them! |

The macho display looks great. Really well done. I had some of those wcw figs back when. Really like that packaging.

my Legends 7 Greg the Hammer Valentine finally arrived today from Target.com, kind of glad it wasn't the chase cause I like this version better. Greg 'The Hammer' ValentineValentine's prime was way before my time, and I will admit that whenever I've gone back and seen him work, he just wasn't for me. Also my only real memory of him is not in ring related at all. I went to a taping of ESPN's Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith in like 2006 or 2007 and Greg Valentine was (inexplicably) one of the guests, and he somehow compared himself to Steve Austin & the Rock in terms of being a draw or something like that. Maybe he drew in Mid-Atlantic in the 70s, but come on... The figure itself is nice, I do definitely believe he deserves to be represented in the line, so it's good to have him, the robe is great, the removable Heartbreaker shin guard is also great.       |

He was a great intercontinental champion who had a great feud with Santana. And yeah he was a draw. Maybe not as big as Austin and the Rock in the Attitude era. But in all fairness it was a different time as there wasn’t an internet back then or live televised shows like RAW & SD.

But in all fairness it was a different time as there wasn’t an internet back then or live televised shows like RAW & SD. My only memory of Greg the Hammer was from the early 90s when I was a kid. My mom made me go clothes shopping with her and my sisters. She told me if I behaved she'd take me to Toys R Us or Children's Palace to buy a new figure or two. I was so excited because my best friend bought Sgt. Slaughter and the card backing had a new Boss Man, Earthquake, and Typhoon! I played out all the matches in my head to keep my sanity, and when I finally got to TRU in the late afternoon, all they had left was Greg the Hammer. I almost cried, but I got him anyway because he was the only new one they had. He was -- from then on -- my figure fed's jobber. Flash forward to a few years ago and I found OSW Review, where they snidely refer to him as Greg the Gas Tank, and I felt validated for my disappointment. Still, I had to have this figure from Mattel because it looks just like the Hasbro version which I still own. But it seems that a lot of us out there didn't appreciate him too much for his early 90s WWF run at least.  And it's funny you mention Tito Santana. He was in the same boat! When my same friend ordered a Royal Rumble ppv for his birthday, I distinctly remember us waiting for the next entrant before going to the kitchen to get more pizza. When Santana came out we said, "Psh, HE's not gonna win," and we left to stuff our faces. And isn't Santana's figure infamous for peg warming? (Nothing against him as a wrestler, though! We were stupid kids.) Good times. |

Got all these last friday, and finally got around to re-sizing the pictures today, just a massive amount of figures to open and take pics of. If you're interested in the AEW/UFC Jazwares pics, I posted a ton in that section of the boards.   WWE Battle Pack 66 Becky Lynch & Seth RollinsI 100% bought this just for Becky's scan, I think it is by far the best they've done for her yet. The Seth is whatever, it will probably be put in a baggy and put in a bin.     Series 111 Nikki CrossI had higher hopes for this figure when I pre ordered sight un-seen, it's okay at best.    Series 111 Erick RowanI don't blame Mattel 1 bit for the plain black tank top, I blame WWE for not creating a merch shirt for him to wear instead of walking out for months with band t-shirts. With that being said, the shirt ruins the figure, wish they would have just created a design for it or something.      Series 111 Bray WyattIt's sad that how much more I like this 1 than the Firefly Funhouse Elite coming out, will probably just put the puppets from that set around this basic.        WWE Elite Top Picks RicochetFor some reason I thought the gear was more intricate than it actually is, it's still a nice figure, I think I just assumed this was going to be the same gear as his first elite just in white, not the Network Spotlight in white.      WWE Elite Top Picks Braun StrowmanI passed on the last elite with the Andre trophy in favor of this one because it had the removable shirt. It's only fitting that he shaved his head the same day I opened this figure last week.     WWE Elite EdgeheadsThis legit pained me to buy 3 of the same figure, and I'm not even 100% sure how I'm going to display them, but I felt I needed to get them, maybe I can sell off the extra heads or something to make some $ back.           WWE Elite 78 NaomiFinally Naomi gets an elite, and they did a great job on both the regular and chase, the chase was for my girlfriend and the regular was for me. Love the jacket, love the glow belt, really cool attires on both, great figure.         Randy OrtonIt's solid, nothing to get overly excited over.     Kofi KingstonI passed on that Battle Pack that came with the pancakes and I am finally rewarded! The gear is nice, and I'm excited to get a new set of New Day elites once Xavier and E come out in the next set.      R-TruthFINALLY. 63 Elite waves have come and gone, and Truth has been on TV, nearly the entire time, without an updated figure. It is really a great figure, and I'm glad to finally have the 24/7 title.     Drake MaverickI find it absolutely hilarious that someone thought it was a good idea to give Drake, Andre the Giant size hands. How the hell does that pass by so many in charge? The hands being ridiculous aside, it is a nice figure, the shirt looks cheap, and I think the poster being a little thicker would have been nice, but I like the figure itself.     Matt RiddleAgain... just like Drake's hands, how the hell did Riddle's tiny shoulders/arms get by people in charge? This figure is so out of proportion. I was really excited for the first basic Riddle, and that 1 is the size of the Undertaker, I thought no way can they screw up the elite, and here we are. The flip flops, jacket and bandana are cool, love the extra hands, but my god, these shoulders and arms take this figure down a lot for me.        LOL WHAT.   'Superstar' Billy GrahamI almost didn't order 2 because Graham doesn't hold a lot of nostalgia with me, but I think both looks are different enough that I feel justified that I ordered 2. Both head scans are really, really great, I think the 80's scan may be a little bit too small, but it's a minor complaint.      other pick ups and gifts from the last few weeks..      
check out my thread in the Jazwares section for the short lived Bullet Club reunion..

My order of Elite 79 and the Bret/Goldberg set arrived last Friday, Ultimate Charlotte on Saturday and Ultimate John Cena today! Put pics of the AEW Scale Ring in the Jazwares section if anyone is interested.  Bret Hart & Goldberg 2 PackI am not going to bury this set more than it's already been, what more can be said about the Bret that hasn't been said already? I mainly bought it for the WCW US Championship since it was my favorite title belt as a kid, but my belt has a chipped part of paint on it, which really makes this set that much worse for me.              Elite 79Bobby FishI opened my Bobby Fish and the leg snapped off instantly, not thrilled about that, but I contacted Ringside and I am hopeful that I can get a replacement. I will say this, I like the scan on the 3 pack Bobby Fish WAY more.  BOOM. Roman ReignsI did not have much luck with this set of figures, my long haired Roman face print was WAY OFF and looks horrendous, so I obviously have to stick with the ponytail smiling scan. Honestly it's okay, but I may just pop off a Roman head from a previous elite and put it on this new body with the updated tattoo and vest.      Xavier Woods & Big E.I really like the colors on this gear, and I love the inclusion of the UUDD championship. What's going on with the Smackdown tag titles being duller than usual? Kofi had the same one, strange.           LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT!
 Daniel BryanMaybe it's me, but this felt like a figure that got thrown into the set last minute for some reason (maybe those April releases?). The old short haired scan from like 6-7 years ago? It was either last minute or super lazy, wouldn't be shocked with either.      Io ShiraiJust a really, really great figure. I love the scan, the gear, the jacket, definitely the star of this set.           Ultimate Edition Charlotte FlairI think its safe to say this is a top 3 Mattel female figure, if not the overall best. I can't say enough how much I like this figure. Finally a great scan for Charlotte, the robe is amazing, the attire is great, really pops on my shelf.         Ultimate Edition John CenaI slept on this figure when it was originally shown because I already had the Elite 76 figure ordered and I didn't think I needed ANOTHER Cena. I was wrong. This is definitely a great figure, and I am glad I got it for retail because I almost caved multiple times and ordered off Ringside or eBay, patience finally paid off for me.       |

Nice pickups, I too have Cena & Charlotte UE. BOth are very impressive, and I"ve yet to open them because they look great on the shelf MIB and Mattel did a great job with the layout of the figures and accy's in the package. We'll see, I would probably open Cena first. Just an awesome figure.

Are Io’s pads meant to be wrist pads? I had a hell of a time getting them up around her elbows.
