Nexus Punk needs a Greatest Hits version. I would probably prefer the E16 as Greatest Hits after buying the E11.  I caught a cold over the last 1-2 weeks, didn't really buy much. But I finally received the RSC Walter MOC, unbelieveable figure. Still need the E102..   Bought something for my BAF collection. Great figure.  Bought another one for the Wyatt Family. Representing his World Title win. Elite 54 Bray.   Bought 2x WM37 Edge, but as you can see there were actually two different BAF torsos. Still need the rest of the set, but not in a hurry.  On top of that finished two more BAF sets, starting with one of my favourite sets released. Will probably open Orton and Rey, Orton needs the Jakks 1/500 WHC.  Finished the WM 39 BAF,too. Will probably open them for the Mean Gene, love all four figures in the set.  Have a great weekend  |

Exlusive Box as well, so that pack doesn't even see the daylight anymore. I have just realized that almost all pictures were broken, I think I have fixed the majority. I have bought some more figures that I will receive in the coming weeks. So here is a small update, because I was able to   |

Def the best collection in germany. Love your enthusiasm man. Where are you buying these mainly? Lol. You havent seen my collection. Almost every elite moc. Every single ultimate twice. Every ringside exclusive figure, evere Defining Moment, every collectors edition and so on. Oh you know that was just said in jest. I have no way of knowing who has the best in germany. The best collections are usually with people who dont show it all off  |

(quite expensive, around 60-70$ shipped) Yeah the shipping prices are a big reason why your collection is special. Not many europeans even go through the hassle of collecting things from the u.s based on the cost of importing them. I know 80s/90s wrestling is still very popular in germany (anything 80s and 90s actually) but it is still rare to see big collections like yours in europe in genersl. Enjoy it while you can. I say that as shrinking box sizes, reduced weight limits, rising import vat taxes and the overall difficulty in exporting things (especially with usps) to europe and the new customs papers people need to fill out has made shipping to europe a huge hassle. You must be very dedicated to your kraft. Kudos to you good sir. Thanks for the info on finkel. Gonna try and pick one up now. |

He's been watching the "Dreadmare" online and enjoy that channel (because maybe it is or isn't Bo Dallas). |

I have been buying some stuff over the last couple of weeks, they were all bought before the RSC Vault announcement. Will probably get the Dudleys. So let's get ready These were one of my first buys a couple of weeks ago, loose Hardy Boyz WWE Shop Excl. and BAF JJ-Dillon legs.  Finally got a Corbin, didn't have one yet. Love this figure, it just looks amazing. Still need to get a Bron.  Got a Rob loose in box, basically only wanted the 24/7 belt. Didn't realize it was dull :I  Bought another Elite Wyatt Family, just can't get enough of them. Bought them because they had all the extras. Will probably gift them to my brother or so.   Sold my MOC Battle Pack with Finlay & Hornswoggle, bought a Hornswoggle loose and gave him a Jakks extra. Will put him next to the E4 Finlay.  Bought the Beast vs Chief 3-pack loose with all the accessoires, 3rd person doesn't deserve to be on pictures anymore. Might sell him.  Also bought the SES CM Punk a couple of weeks ago, might get a 2nd version of him soon. Put him next to E9 Gallows.   Paid a good price for a loose ECW RSC Punk, also bought him before the announcement. I'm on the edge on opening my 1/500 Jakks Evan Bourne just to give Punk the ECW Belt. Has anyone tried that before? Also don't really like the scan, thinking of putting a RR Basic CM Punk head on him.   I FINALLY got my Hands on a BAF PPV Heyman, was already thinking of buying the whole BAF set since I already had Punk but then finally found a well priced Heyman. These are two of my absolute favorite figures, both outstanding. I accidentaly changed the microphones. The new shoes are astonishing.  I also grabbed a BAF JR Punk loose with a E16 or BAF PPV head, only have him MOC and never liked the scan.  On top of that I bought a DM Sting Crow loose, incredible figure. Didn't expect much, but this figure absolutely rocks.    I know this isn't a Mattel figure, but I got another Doink for my collection. I do need some help with the autograph though, I can't find anything similar. Seller said it was signed in 2009.   |

Love the Gunther’s! Huge fan over here which I why I order all of his figures. Did you snag any of the new(er) ones that just went up for preorder?
Also, grabbed multiple Vince’s’ & Kaisers & they’re great MOC & loose. I know a bunch of clowns hated that Vinci but it’s not bad at all. Besides his eyes needing to be a tad smaller, they nailed it. I think they could have been beadier if that makes sense.

I think they could have been beadier if that makes sense. I usually never pre-order stuff because there are too many figures I still have to buy. I try to get them at retail price once they're released. I'm also trying to collect every Gunther figure, they look really good. Imperium Basics are really solid, Kaiser is just too expensive right now. I need that chase version of him. Also really happy about MC Imperium!!! Received some more stuff I only have the Jakks WM Scale Ring with the blue cage but I couldn't pass on this offer even though I don't have a Mattel Scale Ring. I'm actually a bit surprised how bad the ringskirts are compared to Jakks. Maybe they look better when being put on a ring.  Got this Solo from amazon whd, I knew the box was heavily damaged but I was hoping for it to be complete. And it was. Really like that Solo a lot and can't wait to display my Bloodline.     On top of that I realized I could use the inlay of the box for my entrance stage. Fits the theme well in my opinion. Any ideas what I could use for the top screen?  I am a huge fan of the DM Cody Rhodes figure but prices exploded and I was way too late. So I had to buy the complete set since it was almost the same price as Cody alone. Not really interested in Bret & HBK, will sell them. That Mankind is also a sick figure representing definitely a Defining Moment.    I was just really bummed when I saw that Cody had marks on his leg. I'm still thinking about opening him and trying to clean the spots, I just don't know yet. Any help is as always appreciated!   Have a great weekend! The mat is sacred! |

Nice gets. Sucks about Cody. If you have something called Goof-Off put a little on a q-tip and rub it on the stains should come right off. If you don’t have goof-off in Germany nail polish remover will work also. Do the same way.

It's one of the coolest figures Mattel has released! Moreover I have finally bought an Elite 102 Gunther MOC. Fingers crossed his box is mint (amazon  ) because I plan on keeping him MOC und display his Elite Top Picks figure. |

Not problem. Just remember not too much just a tiny drop on the end of a qtip and rub. And repeat as needed.

I tried nail polish remover without aceton and it worked wonders!     I tried it on other figures that had marks and it removed like 99% of the marks. That was so much fun polishing the old figures. While doing that I stumbled across my Elite 20 CM Punk that seems to have a problem. The legs are somehow bent inside and the figure keeps falling down. (you can see it well in the 2nd picture)   Not sure about it but the leg/foot joint seems not right.  Put him back in the box that I stored in the basement until I can find a solution.  On top of that I changed some stuff about my recent CM Punk buys.   My CM Punk All Stars Pipe Bomb work in progress: (will add the white elbow pad and only realized today that his X color on the fist was red. So I will check if I can find a Punk figure with red Xs. I do have the SCSA shirt but it's MOC and I don't see myself opening that one, so I will try to get the shirt loose.  Have a great week! |

No problem, but if you are doing it on other figures as well now I should also warn you that while you can do it on torso’s and the crotch pieces. You really need to make sure it’s a drop or less at a time because it can go horribly wrong on those harder plastics rather quickly if you aren’t careful.

The leg warping is an issue if it stays in the packaging for years. I have a Demolition Ax that’s pretty bowlegged because I bought him MOC in like 2014. It also happens if you throw your figures in a bin. The weight of other figures on the legs will bow them.
