looking at this only for the Head swap myself. Going to put it on the DX flashback version and get me a red coat from the Jakks series.

He will eventually be released...and hopefully warm the shelves where he belongs.

I found Jarrett to be entertaining. He was always pretty solid in the ring. He didn't draw for crap though. His title reigns came when WCW was flushing down the toilet. He was better in TNA. Hoping his mind for the business does well with his new promotion.

If I wasn't married, I'd like to think I'd have a hard time hiding, and/or explaining my collection. I think most quality chicks would probably question your manhood because you have a bunch of toys out on display or in the closet. Luckily, my wife likes the product and could give a crap what I'm collecting. She does make fun of me on a regular basis because I get new "Dolls" in the mail all the time. Occasionally I have to get online and show her the value of some of the figures I have compared to what I paid for them. I'll never sell!!!!! At least I don't think I will. LOL! I'm always telling my wife that she kenw what she was getting into when she married me! this is a common conversation in my house at least 7 - 8 times per year: Her: "Don't you already have Undertaker/Macho Man/Bret Hart/ Punk/ Insert random name here?" Me: "Yeah,but this is the newest Elite version,and it's an attire I don't have yet!" I have that conversation 7-8 times per month with mine. I've gravitated to buying loose figures when they are no longer retail to save on costs...she gets more on me when I have 10 TRU Cena's with WWE title. "Babe, I can either pay somebody $10 on Ebay for the belt...or I can buy 10 of them at TRU when they are 2 for $20 and I have the figure and BAF parts that I can resell and recoup some of the costs". She rolls her eyes..

basics are good for one thing...the art of head swapping! My kids even look at me funny when I buy them a basic.

Axel was definitely short packed. Killing me too because my BAF Ross torso is jacked up. The left arm doesn't go into the socket well. I had to jam it in there and put him on display. The slightest touch and his arm pops back out. Going to have to get another Axel to remedy it. Mattel needs to do a better job on quality control.
I've also noticed the last two RSC figures (Rock and Punk) are made of a seemingly cheaper quality material.

Mattel is clearly better. The fact that they have done more to scale the figures properly makes all the difference in the world. When comparing Jakks Mysterio to Jakks Undertaker being the same size to the Mattel counterparts, mattel is the logical choice.
Jakks had way more years over Mattel. Mattel will catch up and put out enough figures to make the jakks fanboys happy. Kids don't want to buy the repo man or 10 variations of Roddy Piper. Jakks was pumping out figures just to pump them out. My brother has almost every one ever made. He spent a small fortune. I've looked at them...the scaling ruins whatever pluses the figures have. There is a reason Jakks no longer has the license. They weren't doing good business with that deep roster.

All of this Demolition talk makes me wonder why they didn't go full own re-hash with the Acension and just call them the new Demolition. Because anything with the word "new" in front of it when it comes to an original tag name is destined to fail. "New" Rockers "New" Midnight Express "New" Dangerous Alliance It's not a good thing. I could have been more clear. By calling them Demolition, they don't have to call them the "NEW" Demolition. The rockers, midnight express, and the Dangerous alliance were never in the same league as Demolition.

take it to EBAY and hunt there. You'll never get Jakks to send you anything WWE related.

My gut tells me it will be the Miz. Logic tells me it will be Cesaro. My personal pick that I'd like to see win it would be Ziggler.

So many Sheamus and Del Rios....man, you may be the only guy in the US who has purchased those figures. I still see Sheamus and Del Rios warming the pegs from releases 2 years ago.

If we are getting Lex Luger...we should be seeing IRS at some point.

I know a lot of people say the wcw guys were treated bad, but were they really . 1- Booker T invasion leader and won Tag , Ic, HVW belts & KOTR tournament 2- Bill Goldberg feuded with Lesnar , The Rock, HHH,& won the HVW belt 3 - Chris Benoit was pushed won HVW belt ( He did have to work a for it though) 4- Chris Jericho - a nobody in wcw main star in WWE 5- Big Show was brought in as a main Star 6- Rey Mysterio doing way better in E then wcw 7 Eddie Guerrero , they gave him the world title thats not bad at all since wcw never really cared about him. ------- Scott Steiner- was miss treated he fell to a nobody DDP- was getting ready to slow down his carrer Buff Bagwell - Totaly got screwed over So 3 out of 10 guys dis not get treated well, am I missing somthing ? To tie this in with everything current sting said he is afraid of being missed used like all the others what others? agreed. WWE gave alot of opportunity to the WCW guys that were worth putting the investment into. DDP was definitely old at that point. Bagwell was garbage. Steiner is over-rated. His promo material can be cutting edge, but his delivery is complete trash. Booker T was over-rated and they pushed him way more than he deserved. Sting's claim of concern that he would be misused is just unfounded. Perhaps his religious views would prevent him from doing some cutting edge things that the WWF was doing back then....which is lame because he could have done plenty of PG related things.

The only person Sting is going to feud with is his wife in how they will spend the earnings on that fat legend's contract. He's too old to do any long term programs. You may see one match at next year's Wrestlemania. Expect the Undertaker or Cena....

I used the WrestleMania Heritage for mine. What you think? Legit! I've been online shopping for that punk so I can do a head swap on mine. I'd drop the shirt and go with the WHC though.

Ambrose is indeed the blue chipper in that crew. Rollins has actually won me over. I always new Ambrose would be gold given his run in developmental. You can youtube videos for days on his promo work.
Reigns has the right heritage and face to be a top star. He has limited mic skills...to the point where I'd rather watch Santino cut a promo. He also has a hard time getting ripped, which is why they've kept the vest on him. I question the work ethic. As much as I'm tired of seeing Cena on top, Reigns is no where near close to where Cena was when John got the main event push.
Reigns has several awesome spots that he hits in every match. The running drop kick to the apron from the outside is an amazing looking move on TV. The Superman punch should be his finisher in my opinion. The spear has been played out. If not the Superman punch, he should go back to the powerbomb. I can't figure out why they've gone off the beaten path with Rollins and Reigns...usually there are mid card title runs before the main event. Case in point is Ryback. When you push a guy before he's had the mid card run, he's going to lose steam when he has a few main event opportunities where he doesn't convert into a World Champ.
They went wrong with Ryback when they didn't put the IC or US title on him. Putting the US title on Ambrose, I thought, meant he would be the guy. They didn't really do anything with Ambrose as US champ which was a shame. Cesaro is another example of bringing up a talent the right way. They are slowing up on him though, which doesn't make alot of sense. He may be their best in ring performer currently on the roster. I don't even think he needs Heyman judging from what I saw on NXT with his promo work. Reigns has the potential of say a Sheamus or RVD. He can get some buzz and fan support. He can even carry a world title. He doesn't have the promo skills, ring ability, or long term versatility that say an Ambrose, a Daniel Bryan, or a CM Punk have. Reigns won't be an easy repackage like the other two were...thus he kept the same music and ring attire. I see Reigns being the Sheamus of the new generation.
When people compare him to a young Rock or Triple H, I can't agree. The Rock and Triple H have always had incredible mic and ring work. Reigns doesn't have either.
Going off topic a little, giving Rollins money in the bank was not the right move either. It does give something more to his feud with Ambrose, so I'm going with it. The only rising star they are pushing to perfection in my opinion is Bray Wyatt. Other than his last man standing loss to Cena, they have been spot on. I actually see Wyatt as the future. I would have put him over the Undertaker instead of Lesnar as Wyatt has that Undertaker like presence. Wyatt's mic skills are arguably better than what the Undertaker put forth over the years.
In closing, if they were going to push Reigns to the moon correctly, he should have been the streak breaker.
