Some of My Favorite Mattel Figures. Installment #18 on Pg 8

Yup that’s my one issue with it.

Installment #10 -

Target Exclusive Hall of Fame Wild Samoans 2 Pack Afa - Like everyone that uses this body they’re a little tall, but other than that they are spot on to what I remember of watching them with my father back in the day.


Target Exclusive Hall of Fame Wild Samoans 2 Pack Sika -


Elite Series 87 Powers of Pain Warlord -


WalMart (?) Exclusive Tshirt Series Hulk Hogan -


Basic Series 31 “World Champions” Ultimate Warrior- Hopefully we get it as an elite one day, but until then this is a great version of Warrior.


Elite Series 63 Shelton Benjamin (standard version) -


Elite Series 82 Collector’s Edition Davey Boy Smith -


Elite Series 83 King Corbin - While the upper body should be much thicker. At the time of its release it was his best figure to date. And looked great with the entrance gear on.


Basic Series 14 Royal Rumble Heritage “Hitman”
Bret Hart - I think it was our first Mattel Bret and even though they used the wrong torso for Bret (I think the Santino torso was already in the fold at this point) it was a very nice first Bret offering. As far as basic Bret figures go this one is in scale with his elites. I wish they would go back to this scale for Basic Bret’s and use the Santino torso.


Entrance Greats Triple H - for a basic this was a phenomenal looking figure. Of course they hadn’t corrected Triple H’s head sculpt year as this point so without the gear on he looked like he was wearing a toupee. But man it’s an awesome looking figure all decked out.

Wasn’t the DM Bret the first Bret?

Not Mattel, but my Chella Toys Dynamite Kid arrived today. And broke 10 seconds out of the package. lol His right wrist snapped off. It was the regular and other than the wrist snapping it seems to be pretty sturdy. I do like that they actually spent time to mold the socks and wrist tape instead of just painting them on the wrist and calves.

Going off RS YouTube videos looks like the DM came out a couple months before the basic.

Yeah, I have this one ordered, and I am glad they went with the same attire as the Davey Boy figure that Mattel put out. Also, the head scan looks better on the figure than the original one they showed. And that is a nice touch that they molded the socks and wristbands. Shame about the hand breaking, have you heard that this is an issue with their figures, or just a one-off? I'm going to keep mine in the box, so I hope it doesn't break-off later on down the road. Are you going to return the figure for a replacement? Or just glue the hand back on? You also need to get some of the silver tag titles to put on these guys. 


EDIT: Also, does your Davey Boy have blue trunks on under the title belt? Didn't the Mattel release come in white like the Dynamite Kid figure? Do you just paint it blue? 

That's cool. I kind of hope that Mattel does another British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, and I also hope that chella makes a Dynamite Kid to match. The powder blue would look great. 

Davey is only in white tights. I painted an extra of mine blue to match my custom Dynamite which is the set I have displayed on my shelves.

Here he is with my stock Davey Boy…

I think their girth is ok.
