Rebuilding my collection again....for the Third time

That Hall peg warmed probably the most out of every other Scott Hall figure. I wish I picked up a second one for parts because he was as low as $12 at one point. The nWo logo on the back of my Hall is double printed which I didn’t realize was an error because it looked so freaking cool.

I didn’t make the same mistake with X-Pac. I bought two of him just because I’ve wanted a 2002 nWo X-Pac since like 2005, 2006. I really, really hope we get an elite 2002 Kevin Nash. The basic is just not going to cut it.

The X-Pac is SUCH an amazing figure.

Of the Kanes, I def. like Survivor Series the best. But the Hall headscan is awful...

good call.

grabbed the wrong one from the bin and didnt even notice 😂 ive got three kane masks floating around so it was bound to happen.



this figure really needs the darkened eyes because it looks way off when you put the mask on

coming in today with a

TRIPLE H TUESDAY

ive never been in the triple h fan club, ive always been sipping the triple h hatorade 😝 the rock was my favorite growing up, and trips has always been one of the main antagonists of the great one, so i love to hate the game. i have alot of respect for Paul Levesque behind the scenes, but i just hated triple H as a character

got some AEW Dark playing in the background tonight as i type up these reviews 😎



Elite Two Pack Triple H

I honestly got this two pack for the Chyna elite figure. i wanted to have this triple h figure for photography purposes; i had a bunch of Rock posters up during the heyday and alot of those montages features photos of his matches vs Triple H.

my BIGGEST gripes with ALL flashback triple H figures are #1 medium boots instead of tall, #2 no molded belt for attire. for the life of me, i want to pedigree mattel recipe team for constantly sh*tting the bed by giving long tights triple h medium height boots when he infact wore tall boots; its such and eyesore. not only that, but triple h wore a leather belt as a part of his attire and the old BCA figures had this design feature molded in the crotch piece, and im completely miffed that mattel has opted to simply 'paint' on his belt. oh well, i like the softgoods robe and the paint apps to the kneepads and tights are okay.
i got this elite two pack on ringside for retail



Elite 86 Chase

as previously noted, i picked up these flashback triple h figures for his feuds with the Rock, but i enjoyed his overall involvement in the attitude era--notably his feud with Kane, aswell. im not usually one to buy variant figures along with the originals, especially of characters that i dont really care for, but for some reason, long tights triple h gets a pass; these red and yellow long bois look great.
i got this figure for $24.99 shipped loose on ebay




Elite 86 Triple H

WELLL WELLLLLL WELLLLLL. if it isnt the triple H ive literally been screaming at mattel to release. when i was a kid, i was gifted the VHS of the Rock "Know Your Role" where rock narrated his rise into prominence and offered commentary on his own matches at times. ive watched the summerslam 98 match countless times, and its EPIC. my very first triple H figure was a bca figure in purple tights 😊 the boots are a glaring bad choice and i once again -1 for no molded belt on the waist. the headscan is generic, id like to have seen a little more effort put into this figure, given its moment in history and frankly the clamoring from fans. i mean, we finally got our summerslam 98 trips, but its really mediocre at best, im sorry.



Elite 2 Pack Triple H #2

i honestly cant pass up any of these two pack offerings as they are really stacked! however my biggest gripes on this particular figure are the kneepads and the wrist pegs. the wrist pegs are all white which works for one hand but not both, and as much as i hate the legsleeves, trips always wore the legsleeve style kneepad and even during this era had braces. the headsculpt is alright; we get a scowling trips which works well for posing with the included sledgehammer. i would deem the two pack with hardy as a 'must have', though because the included accessories, jeff hardy figure, and the match the figures are based on are legendary!
i bought this figure for retail on EE



D.O.D Triple H

"reign of terror". yep i unfortunately had to live through this in real time. Goldberg vs Triple H.....WITH A VISIBLE GROIN INJURY;,... AM I GOING OVER?!?!?
it really was a hard era to endure; not being a Triple H fan. scott steiner shouldve won, goldberg shoudve won, BOOKER T SHOULDVE WON.
i honestly picked up this figure for the reason that it immortalizes that era. its...uhhhh...a clean shaven triple h uhhhh....in cycle shorts uhhhh..its the game uhhhhh
i bought this figure for $20 shipped on mercari.

Great pics! You can take away that -1 on the red/purple Trips, though. He didn’t have a belt with those attires. The BCAs were inaccurate. The short boots are still a problem, though.

bringing in some more figures today for an OLD SCHOOL SATURDAY


ive been vibing real hard today 😎 we're in the midst of Autumn weather in my locale and i LOOOOVVVVEEEE it. Autumn is my favorite season, hoodies, 60-70 degree weather, nice breeze and wonderful colors of nature. cant beat it.



network spotlight Vince McMahon

i had to have this Vince for the collection because i absolutely loved every time that Vince would get into the ring for action. Most especially during the attitude era and his feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin. i know that this figure is based off of Royal Rumble 99, but i for some reason, wouldve preferred a version with black tanktop ala St. Valentines Massacre. the formula for this figure is great; they used the john cena torso and arms for vinnie mac, while he wasnt as cut as that, vince was definitely big. i like the headsculpt; the crazy grin really suits this figure. for accessories we got a VAC Globe eagle championship and softgoods sweatshirt--i really like both accessories; the championship is one of my personal favorite designs, and the sweatshirt is made out of a really unique material that looks and feels great.
id have to say that this Vince is a must have for the collection. the figure looks great posed amongst the rest of the attitude era roster and it is frankly and all around great figure.
i got this vince MOC on ebay for $42 shipped



E70 Vince

WHAT.A.MANEUVER.

when i saw that this era Vince was available in the elite line, i kinda sorta wanted it to pose alongside my new generation collection. a "good enough" deal happened by and i scooped up the figure. this figure, to me, feels like Vince McMahon through a filter. the whole color palette of this figure seems 'faded' and the headsculpt just feels sorts 'off'. its not a terrible figure by any means, but im not sure that its worth the dollars that people ask for it, its the only vintage vince we got and its passable for that.
i got this Vince loose but with all accessories for $40 shipped on ebay



Mean Gene Okerlund

i HAD to have the Mean Gene figure in my collection. Gene was my all time favorite old school interviewer. his voice was so iconic and gene was great at leading the guys through their promos and keeping things relatively on the rails during interviews. the mean gene figure is SUPER cool; it has the unique red and blue swap-able jackets(i also wouldve loved a black jacket). his height is fairly accurate, im glad that he does appear to be a head or two shorter than the wrestlers. i have no complaints on this figure, i keep mine posed next to my chase macho man for obvious reasons 😎 the only other thing i wouldve been looking for would be a back jacket as i mentioned earlier and maybe a wcw logo microphone?
i got this mean gene loose but with all accessories for $48 shipped



E86 Sid

this was a figure my collection honestly couldve done without, but i do have a soft spot for Sid. as i mentioned in my previous Sid review, i used to keep a Bend-ems Sid Justice in the car for playing with on road trips when i was a kid, so basically anything Sid or Sid Justice is enough to stoke those great memories and ill begrudging take them. as far as this figure, i wouldve just preferred we actually got Sid Justice with mullet and blue trunks, instead of this red singlet-but its a unique enough look that we've never gotten a figure of (i think)so ultimately im okay with owning it.
the figure looks great in the ref gear and the included hands facilitate the "ref" poses pretty well. the red singlet does kinda jump out when posed amongst other characters of that era, but im just not familiar with singlet sid.
i got this figure for retail on EE



MattyCollector DDP

YO ITS ME, ITS ME, ITS D-D-P

SELF HIGH FIVE

BANG!

*cue nirvana rip off music

growing up, i only had the Toybiz DDP figure and i freaking HATED that figure. the pose was dumb, the squeeze legs action was dumb, all around it lead to DDP being the biggest jabroni jobber in all my fig feds back when i was younger, lol. i wouldnt be able to own another DDP figure until MUCH later on when i actually bought.....the mattycollector DDP 😂 i was a mattycollector member and bought all the mattycollector drops as they released. i remember feeling really kind 'ehhhh' on this ddp figure just because i felt the attire was too cut & paste, even though it is accurate. you get the same logo on both legs and the back of the vest with a splash of blue and some tattoos. the headsculpt isnt QUITE there, but i honestly like the color of the hair and facial hair much better than the latter released DDP Elite.
i wouldve much rather we got DDP in jeans attire with rib wrap accessory and maybe big gold belt...oh wait they saved that for the basic line 🙄 all in all, id rank this figure as 'pretty cool'. we only got two other ddp elite releases and one of them for some reason people ask like $200 for, so that sucks. but, if youre looking to complete a wcw section of the collection, you really cant go without a DDP. i hunted down this version because i much more like the Blue in the attire over the pink of the latter release, and as i mentioned, i like the blonde hair color of this figure better than the golden hair of the latter release.
i got this figure loose but mint on ebay for $40 shipped

AND FINALLY THE HOT FIGURE OF THE WEEK



POWERS OF PAIN WARLORD

THE WARLORD. i love this figure. im a huge mark for Road Warriors........and Road Warrior Knockoffs💪 first off its a real travesty that we wont be seeing the Barbarian to go alongside this figure but im glad we still got him because it looks so freaking cool. the facepaint is so iconic, i love the shape of the warlords paint and the blue outline makes it really pop. he is sporting the dual colored horseshoe haircut; props to the man because theres NO WAY id sport that chop 🤣 and i think for a 'collectors edition' figure, his entrance gear is really intricate and detailed. all of the mesh and studs are molded and painted accordingly, and the chains hanging off the left pauldron look pretty cool aswell(id love to see someone customize their figure to have real chains on it). the detail on the right armband accessory are awesome aswell.
we saw a thread posted earlier in the week about the unique level of accuracy featured on the side logos; the figure only reads "wer Of Pain" on the right leg, due to them wearing trunks over the tights, obscuring the "Po" alongside the leg design. this figure also features DOUBLE JOINTED PINLESS arms, which are ultra cool and clean looking.
i personally label this figure as a 'must have' for the collection. we get an ultra cool flashback character, with the most updated arm style and realfx apps to the headsculpt.
i got this figure MOC on Mercari for $38+shipping

I also lived through biker shorts Triple H in real time and enjoyed it at the time. I'm starting to feel that I'm the only one. As he didn't change his gear all that often other than logo I enjoyed seeing him wear the biker shorts, the purple and red trunks. Definitely breaks up the look of the figures when displayed.

thanks!

i went with this version of DDP because i cant find an acceptable deal for the new legends DDP.

the lowest price ive seen him listed for is like $50-60 auction + shipping, the most is a $200 buy it now. thats an easy pass for me, lol. DDP isnt a character im gonna pay any more than $40 MOC, thats just me.
