The Neca Begins figure is Nice from the front. But he looks like he is wearing a loaded diaper from the sides and back. I had to shave my figures down quite a bit and I’m still not completely happy with it. In terms of durability and price point that is like the wwe figures... Mattel’s Movie Masters are your best choices. But they are a small 6” scale (shorter than the Mafex) Thanks for getting back to me. I actually ordered the Movie Masters one off Amazon UK and the seller sent me a completely unrelated DVD. No idea. Anyway, I'll have another look out to see if I can get one at a sensible price. Cheers!

The new Smackdown ring with Jinder is due in Smyths from August. Apparently Elite 59 is now in store in some stores now, if anyone is local to the stores that have them in stock, we may know soon about the Gable situation I'm definitely passing on Jinder ring. If that's the only elite Jinder mattel ever make, I'm fine not having having a Jinder in my collection. Didn't know that Smyths aren't getting Gable in. I guess they aren't Ready, Willing and Gable!Yeah, I mean the cruel irony is I'd love both a Main Event ring and a Jinder, unfortunately my wardrobe / display area isn't big enough for it. I imagine we'll get both Goldberg and Jinder at some point but when is another story. If the Raw ring gets reduced I may just take a chance and deal with the consequences when the wife sees it! According to pauloso Gable is showing up on eBay at retail prices(ish) so looks like Smyths have possibly made a mistake

Hey PJ, you seem to be the man with the answers when it comes to Batman figures I want a Batman figure from the Dark Knight trilogy, I have one of the Mafex ones but I don't really care for it, it's a bit too flimsy I collect WWE Elites so I guess anything along a similar line to those in terms of size and price point would be cool. What would you recommend? I just saw the Batman Begins Neca, that looks quite cool

The image of a Rusev action figure bathing in a bed of salad is my favourite image of the day thus far lol. I meant salad oil Suddenly it's not as entertaining Although probably a lot more effective

I've heard of soaking the figure in salad or mineral oil for a few days. Supposed to just lift the stain out. The image of a Rusev action figure bathing in a bed of salad is my favourite image of the day thus far

Stains can only be removed on Rusev Day (I have no idea actually, apologies)

Full set of elite 51 in b and m I always ask but no one ever seems to answer but ho hum let’s try again. I rarely get chance to figure hunt so if anyone could pick me up an e51 AJ I’ll pay a bit extra for the favour and I’ll really appreciate it. How important is paint to you bromeo? I saw two the other day and I was going to replace mine but the paint wasn't great

Still can't believe Mattel didn't make Hollywood Hogan They should have pumped his figures out real quick before his scandal lol. I'm just hoping WWE announce he has resigned sooner rather than later. At least we shouldn't be waiting a year after he re-signs to get more figures. Mattel have made his figures previously and planned the nWo version so it shouldn't take them that much time/effort to put him into production again ... hopefully. The only problem is, and I think Bill or someone from Mattel said this, because of Hogan’s actions (which is another topic for another day), there’s no guarantee Mattel will actually be prepared to make Hogan figures even if he is resigned. I mean I think that would be a shame, but I can understand the logic at least

Couple of Smyths reductions Miz and Maryse ‘Cena and Nikki’ Battlepack down to £12 Luke Harper Basic down to £7
Good quantities of both at my local, funnily enough I was interested in both of these at full price but I’ve never seen either with good paint

That Gable thing is weird. I noticed Elite 59 is available online now. Maybe they got their allocation of the series and Chadwick wasn’t there? I might be reaching but after the Mickie fiasco it wouldn’t be that crazy
I just ordered the American Alpha NXT Elites off Amazon after seeing them for a pittance. Thought I may as well live in the safe side, my Smyths has been getting really light deliveries on recent series (as I’m sure many others have) so I was worried the day may come where I completely miss a series

Had a full scale meltdown this evening when a simple Roman street gear fix up turned into a grade-A disaster. Given up for the night now before I break anything else, but for the time being, the million dollar question...
Can the vest on the Elite 33 Roman be fastened once it’s been opened?

I know we're still about 6 weeks away but I'm surprised at how little hype there's been about it this year Personally I'm not too excited about these big reveals anymore. I got excited about Ringside Fest and SDCC last year only to find a lot of the good stuff was store exclusives

If you like the TV show Arrow (you’re a pervert if you don’t), the figures from the show are popping up in B&M’s Cool - and for those who like The Flash TV series too, Home Bargains have some figures (I only saw Reverse Flash and Heatwave, but there might be others). Yeah! I got Heatwave just before Christmas. Passed on him a bunch of times in Forbidden Planet but at £7 or whatever it was it was a no brainier. I think Home Bargains got a mixed case of stuff, I’ve seen Heatwave, Reverse Flash and animated style Supergirl and Wonder Woman

Nipped in Bolton Entertainer too, noticed Defining Moments Flair and Macho are both a tenner currently, I’m sure they were a bit more last time I checked. Great prices, never seen a Macho match but at that price I may have to ...for shame, Mr Eivers... for shame!! Hey pal, you wanna talk about shame? We’ve been communicating cryptically by liking each others points of view on this forum for years now and you don’t even know my name

Been on my travels today Blackburn Entertainer had the usual stuff, including Retros Series 2 in decent quantities for £6 each. Almost got The Rock and Triple H but refrained from opening that can of worms Accrington Home Bargains had a few Basics and Battlepacks (including that Sin Cara and Kalisto set), as well as Zombies Series 2. I picked up Sasha Nipped in Bolton Entertainer too, noticed Defining Moments Flair and Macho are both a tenner currently, I’m sure they were a bit more last time I checked. Great prices, never seen a Macho match but at that price I may have to Does Home Bargains ever sell Elites?
Seen the store mentioned on here a few times but can't recall elites being mentioned.
The last time they had Elites was when they got Elite 39 in a couple of years ago I think, unless I’m not remembering something. They also had that last DM Sting too. B&M’s seems to do alright getting Elites in though
