Well guys after watching alot of old WWF PPV's, I realised I was lacking a "The Model" Rick Martel Fig in my collection. Went to an entertainers shop in kingston and luckily they still had one - reduced to just £5!! Overall the figure is pretty neat with shades and the pink cardigan he used to tie around his neck - however I would have liked it if Jakks had given us his perfume vapouriser assecory which he sprayed Jake roberts in the eye with. And now roll on with the pics - enjoy!  MOC Shot The Model in all his glory!! "YOU DON'T HAVE THE FINESSE TO BEAT ME!" The stirke force.....now bitter enemies Royal Rumble 1991 - The Model then set a new rumble record by hanging in there for well over 50minutes and was recognised famously for throwing out his arch nemesis Jake roberts!! Another angle of the mayhem that ensued in the 1991 rumble! |

great figure. one of my first classic figures that i ever bought. very underrated figure. i kind of wished they gave him the baby blue trunks instead of the pink ones.

Very underated figure despite the wrong head for that era. On a side note I kick myself for not getting CS6 LOD in blue back in the day, as they are impossible to get for a decent price.

Yeh perhaps he would've looked better with his short hair rather than the longer hair he kept during the strike force era....are CS6 LOD still that expensive? |

Great pickup, I'd love one of those for myself. Very nice recreation of the Rumble too.

Rick Martel is one of my wrestling idols, which is why I was disappointed with this melange of eras which results in a totally inaccurate figure.
If they were going for the sweater/long hair look, then the attire should have been baby blue.
If, on the other hand, they wanted to do pink, then he should have had short hair or a ponytail, his black jacket, "Yes, I Am A Model" badge and his arrogance cologne.
This figure reminds me of CS 16 Sid (1992 Sid Justice head with a 1996 Sycho Sid attire).
I hate it when Jakks messes up era combinations.
Thanks for the pics though! You got a steal at a fiver.

I love that figure. I would have preferred a slicked back hair and the "ARROGANCE" cologne accessory, but I'm still happy with what we had.
