Searched and didn't see anything on them beside the protos from months back. Any whom found them. Kane and takers says brothers of destruction on the package and DX says....well it says DX. $29. in' 99 each. Guess it's not as bad as $24.99 RA cena. Picked up DX very grudgingly. Good set thats staying MOC. Taker and kane have that thing wear the torso is a diff shade them the arms and head skin tone. DOB come with a casket (same as DA2), DX comes with a regular sledge and the lauching MITB Case. Nothing speail i can tell written on the contract. Taker has a white skull logo on each side and kane as far as i could tell is same as all other DA releases. Of the 3 sets of each i found none of the triple H's cross logos were printed good. All cracked or faded looking. Also he dosent have any knee pads. HBK looks fine but his X's on his pants are too close to the front. Neither set is essential unless ur a competest or have to ahve each release of one of those 4 guys (which i do for HBK). I guess with online exclusives being between 15 & 20 i can't complain too much. Ohh wait yes i can cause i can get a DX3 Pack a dozen shops over at KB for $19.99. Whatever. Just passin it on to ya's. ADDED: Taker: Mixed skin tones, white skulls on either side of pants, Setting in purple casket. Kane: Mixed skin tones. Same old crap, no weapon i saw Says "Brother Of Destruction" Inbetween their names on the package. HHH: No knee or elbow pads. Crappy broken up iron cross printing on ALL of them. Regular sledge hammer. White wrist tape, White crosses on boots. LIGHTER SKIN TONE THEN ALL OTHER DA HHH'S. for all u head swappers. HBK: Elbow pads, MITB Case, X's are off on pants cause of the size, White wrist tape, Tattoo on left arm is present, Kick pad foot mold rather then laced boot foot mold, Says HBK and has the hearts on his pants, Oddly but fully detailed. Has a "DX" Logo inbetween their names on the package. The shirt dosent look half bad on HHH. MOC so i don't know if ass logos are present on the back. Packaging is same as single and 3-pack DA's. Back showcases DA7 & CS13. DX has more recent pics of them on the package (HBK Has a DX shirt on in it) Not sure bout BOD. As i can still find DA2 & BO2006 Taker & Kane im gonna say this set being all weird skin tones is gonna linger a while. The DX set might sell but damn if the 30 dollar price tag won't keep people away. I put it down twice before getting it. $29.99 .

The X's are too big or his legs are too thin cause the Line of X's are lined down even with the knee joints on the front which is obviosuly not right. The back looks to be the same way with the lines inbetween the 2 rows of X's lined perfectly on the side. So yeah the X's are just too big. Also HHH dosent have knee pads.

thanks for the review. what were the iron crosses you mentioned on the triple h figure?
sounds like two big rip-off sets to attract kids or collectors that are lazy. i will pass on both. if i were you, i would return the brothers two pack and sell the dx pack.

Thankfully i didn't by the brother 2-pack. Even if i didnt have those 2 in DA form already i would have opted for best of with the stamp pn their legs over this set. The iron cross is the logo triple H has on his tights. It's behind the DX Logo. On all i found of this set the cross looked like cracked or poorly applied paint. The DX logo printed over it looks fine thow.

i think the reason for that is that triple h's logo is copyrighted. that's why every ra figure with the cross logo without the dx spraypaint says "TRIPLE H" instead of "THE GAME." if this figure has the messed up cross, but it says "THE GAME" on it, thats the only way that jakks can let it go without losing money. if you look at all the normal triple h figures, even from ra6, to ra12.5 to ra14, to even ra21, they all say "TRIPLE H" because jakks isnt allowed to use the full correct logo. i say full because they are allowed to use it if it is a part of something else. if you look at all the new dx triple h figures, they all have crosses that say "THE GAME" on it, but it is not complete.

Great News, thanks! So Taker is different to his single Figure but Kane is 1:1 the same? Shit, then I have to buy this set too only for the taker. The paint on the D-X figs doesnt sound that good but since I want all DA figs, I'll have to buy them.

From the pictures the DX pack looks great, but from the description of the real thing, it doesn't seem so.

well, a normal single DA is 10.99 + tax= about $14, so 2 x 14= $28, so I guess it is not that bad...

I had been planning on picking up the DX 2pack-but after reading the review, taking a second look at the proto pic, and it being priced at 29.99, I'm going to have to pass on these. I don't like the shirt mold for DA figures-part of the reason I dislike DA8 Sandman.
For my $30, it's just not worth it to me, and I can't talk myself into getting it as there's no way to justify buying it for that price, when for the same $30, i can get much better newer stuff such as: -IE Razor & HBK 2pack -IE Jeff Hardy & Bret Hart 2pack
Or hell, even stuff I missed- -IE Diesel & HBK 2pack -IE Mickie James (and still have $15 left over)
Or put the $30 towards a pre order of ECW2, AD25 or CS15. I think you get my point! LOL
