in an arnie voice -
'basics are for babies!'
I only get an alt legend basic if most likely they'll be no elite. I wait for the elite and then I - wait for it - get to the shoppa!

I was just looking at some pictures of a toy fest, and I saw this John Cena. Do you know who sells it and if it's currently available? My Walmart(s) got MORE of these right before x-mas and I thought he would clog up the all the pegs but damn it, Cena sold out. Talk all you want, but the man sells merch. It's unbelievable actually. No matter how many bazillion Cena's show up, they're all gone eventually. D-Bryan just sucked. Last time EVER Vince is gonna listen to the fans in his lifetime lol Honestly I'm not slagging bryan fans but I was proved right again. He was all hype and he was only popular because of the narcissistic tendencies of today's wrestling fan. They all just wanted to do the wave, I mean 'yes' chant. See what all that nonsense bumping of todays generation that loves 'great matches'. Just gonna end up like Edge, stopped short. I know I'm barreling off subject, but isn't that strange? ALL the stuff Edge has done - no questions asked - warrants a HOF entry. Now you can tech look at d-bryan (because of the belts and pushed they gave him) on the same level - as the champion (with the main belt). But they have NOT had the same wwe career, not by a long shot. And he'll obviously go in again because of his situation but...I dunno, something to think about I guess.

I honestly was underwhelmed by the statue. I think mattels figure is a better work of art. Contemplating selling my statue. I'd say if your thinking about it - you will. Dump it now while it's hot. I think all the figs (at least the sculpted ones) are works of art. That figure didn't just make itself lol I love roddy and over the years anytime a new something of his was out I'd buy it. As much as I love roddy - I hate clutter. The older you get the less important this crap becomes. Keep what's special to you - sell the rest. I got mattel roddy's and his logo tatted on my arm so I'm good. Anything else is just adds to the painful clutter someone who loves me (hopefully) will have to throw out when I'm gone lol Depressing but true Not in regards to the op - but that's why I just don't get you dudes who just collect everything. I don't mean to attack people, collect what you want right - I just wonder where some of y'alls money goes. Hell my life sucks too lol so I'm not on my high horse I just wonder what kind of lives people have if ALL they spend their money on is toys. Life is short (young) dudes - live it. You'll look back wondering where it all went sooner then you think. This HOBBY is fun but it's just that, a hobby. I collected a lot of crap in my life (like pop culture crap) but I have NONE of it left. All I have left is a light switch plate from the 70's of batman and robin (yeah!) lol but I sold it all. It'll come and go. I am glad this mattel collection looks like it'll be at least half as big (right?) as the jakks line (character wise I mean) and SO much better - that I think we're good with this one. What do you 'older' cats think? Pretty happy with this line and no need to star again right? I mean I know at my age I won't JUST BECAUSE, but I'm still so happy with this collection (aside from the relentlessness of not finding anything retail kicks in and I hate it and just want to sell it all haha). Even IF it ended in 2019 (and I'm sure they'll extend it BUT Vince is never stagnant so they might just go to somebody else just because...who knows? Maybe Bill...lol) I'm good. We'll have many of our wants by the end. I hope last years excess of figures out there (not actually FOUND) isn't an insider sing that they're just trying to pump out as many as they can before 'close'? Prob not. And now I've forgotten why I wrote this much so I bid you g'day...

Orton, Enzo, and Beefcake are my only wants. We've seen protos of everybody but Enzo. I really want to know how he turned out. Is it bad I only want Enzo and not Big Cass? No, Cass sux One has a future, and one does not. Vince likes big men not chickens.

Again, I disagree. Fantastic work my friend! I also paint every figure I get, and it's true that adding a few subtle things can seriously breathe new life into a sculpt. Because that's just it; the sculpting work is there already, but it's the paint job that truly brings out those details. Honestly, just adding the little 'white dot' to the eyes, painting the lips, and dry brushing/adding a wash to hair is enough to transform a figure and bring it to the next level. Oh, and always filling in deco hits that missed their mark (hair lines/facial hair) lol I've seen some fwoosh articles on star wars black figs repainted - shows how good the sculpts are, just the paint job is garbage lol (obi wan is the nicest I've seen yet).

Have you thought about rounding that out by putting AJ's severed head in the middle? That's the funniest thing I've EVER read. Now THAT'S comedy. Well done, sir.

What I like most is the use of the video tapes as shelves - very McGuyver of you! lol I think you should grab a big sheet of bristol (?) board (or the school project giant colored paper stuff) in black and just cut it and fold it and make a black (or another color like blue) and make the smaller parts - the side facing us look like ring skirts. put some logos if you want. I love having the figs by year/era, best way to do it. It it weren't for dust I'd have mine of a shelf instead of the detolf cases simply because of the scope of the full shelf as to the smaller cubes.

So I found them at my (canadian) wal-mart (yup we get those but NOT TNF) and was just wonderin if you guys are buying them or not. I liked the little figs and if I had kept my hasbros I'd prob buy them. On their own though, I wasn't impressed. Everyone is in black and I don't like the blue backing and the overall package looks like a cheap knock-off product (for moc's). Yeah just wasn't feelin them enough to purchase the new guys BUT I might still get warrior and taker and any legends (I don't see THAT many figs in this line so I think I could get a little legend once and a while).
So what's the overall opinion?
P.S. Looks like no one bought any yet btw, they were scattered everywhere but all still there.

With smudged face paint and a yellow ic title added, that would be the ULTIMATE Defining Moments figure Agreed. I would love to have a post-match Warrior figure. You CAN make you own...just by an extra lost legends figure and get some acetone from walmart and q-tip and CAREFULLY just erase the paint.

Nah not as bad as Brodie Clay's first elite. Don't ever remember hearing about Warrior being angry but here: The first one one is not smudged or missing paint. It's from a promo picture. Warrior didn't like the 2 pack with Hogan because he thought it made him look weak since he didn't have paint LMFAO... I guess no one told him he WON that (fake) match

But I honestly hate seeing Mattel take these little short cuts in things, like say the new DM Flair with the wrong kinda knee pads and the RF on the wrong side. I hate when Bill claims they did it to stay with budget. Seems like a scape goat to me. Put this thought to test, the refference photos could have been mirrored. no doubt this is what happened.
