Figured I post some of my recent gets from these past few months. Finally got my big order from Ringside, which included two E86 Rollins figures, both versions of E86 Triple H, WALTER, my third Fan TakeOver Rollins (I got it to swap heads with one of the E86 Seths), and Top Picks Rey. I also got the Network Spotlight Jinder from the Bay, as well as this pretty sick Royal Rumble 1999 Triple H custom! And finally, got two more E80 Owens figures, which I customized to be in his WrestleMania 37 attire and his "Stun The World" Attire, and Fan TakeOver Orton and Gargano. Let me know what you think! And yes, I did write "MESSIAH" on the tights of both of the E86 Rollins figures. I feel like this image perfectly summarizes Rollins and Mysterio's 2020... Also, while not related to WWE figures, I did also snag this original 1995 Buzz Lightyear figure not too long ago for an extremely good price! I got him for under $100, new in the box, and it still works perfectly! I don't know how much you all know about the Toy Story toy collecting scene, but getting a brand new working '95 Buzz for anything under $100 is an absolute steal! Age is just a number, my friends.

Is it bad that I have a burning need for a KO Mania V shirt figure?
I have a feeling we're going to be getting the Stun the World one shortly though, so I'm not too worried about making that one.
Nice additions.

Nice find on that Buzz! I still have mine somewhere, but he's seen many, many better days.

I did a search randomly one day, and it popped up, and miraculously, no one else bid on it, so it was mine! I actually already have an original Buzz from my youth (it was actually passed down from my older brother) in decent enough condition for its age, but I wanted one mint as it makes for a cool collection piece!

It definitely does man! Seeing that packaging brings back some real memories for me.

Figured I post this update here instead of making a whole new thread. Anyways, I got my Elite 87 Asuka and Braun Strowman in yesterday, and I also did some minor fixups to the decals on my custom Rumble '21 Rollins and my custom "Stun the World" Owens. If you're wondering what was changed, the decals I originally had for Rollins' right kickpad and right leg were wrinkled and had a ton of stress marks, so I replaced them with fresher, less wrinkled ones, and for Owens, I changed the logos I originally just printed out and glued to the shirt for actual waterslide decals. Looks much better if you ask me! As for the new Elite 87 figures, I think these might be my favorite figures of both Braun and Asuka. Arguably two of my favorite figures from the year so far. The scans on them are awesome! The addition of double-jointed elbows on Braun make him much better for posing. The Asuka is also the best figure of her IMO. Her Network Spotlight figure was great, but between the updated attire and the new scan that is easily her best one to date, I think this one takes the cake. My only minor gripes with it are the mask not really fitting over her face (which isn't a big deal, since I display her without it on), and the minor details on her boots that are missing (will eventually fix with paint later on). Still though, it's an amazing figure that looks and feels great in hand!

That Braun looks awesome. Was so scared the new legs would have messed up his height but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Oh man, that updated STW Kev... I really want one of those. I'm torn between digging into the world of waterslides and making one myself or just waiting till next year for his next elite which I highly suspect will be this attire. Choices choices...
Also, did you touch up the paint on his beard and hair? Yours looks much crisper than any of my versions of that one, except for the custom one. I know that the Elite 80 Kevin came inexplicably with red hair but I don't remember the basic we got with the dark hair being that crisp. I like it. Looks good.

Believe it or not, I actually did nothing to the KO headscan outside of swapping it with the head that originally came on the E80 KO. When I bought a ton of that Basic with the darker hair specifically for doing head swaps, I tried to pick out the ones that had the best paint job if I got it in person. Funny enough though, most of them I ordered blindly off Ringside. Guess I just got lucky by getting all the good looking scans!

I need that Asuka now, I only have her first elite which I like, but that scan brings it home

Excited for my Asuka to come in! This will be my...wow, seventh figure of hers including customs. I think I'm gonna need a shelf for just her at some point.
(I swear I'm not Bill.)

Does the Asuka have the double-jointed knees?
