It's now clear that this is what that sting casting call was for asking for an orchestra.

Awesome buys, two of the best basics in recent memory. They always did a great job with Vickie.

This was such a boring set hence why I don't own any of them. Big show is a quiet achiever but probably have to give it to sheamus. All the rest have something off about them.

Absolutely the TLC edge on the E8 edge (or any other edge figure).

This is best suited to the customs board, they will probably move it,
For the US, i would use the smudge technique to fill in the black area so you remove the excess black off the unite states lettering. Then paint the red white and blue sections. The US title will look fantastic painted.
Anyways, ive found, some belt with moulded detail, you can actually paint and smudge the colour into the grooves. The only belts that are going to be hard to do are the IC and others which have painted wording. Just take your time and use a fine brush. Painting them a shiny gold looks great, just dont be too heavy handed at painting this because it will reduce the depth of the moulded detail and will make painting in these sections much harder. Painted belts look great, best of luck with it!

What an awesome haul! Id be extremely annoyed by all the paint job screw ups though. Particularly the matadores and then the Rock. If I was paying 28+ shipping on a figure and it came with a smudge as big as that over the head of all places, Id be asking for some reimbursment. Its mattel fault, RSC should have sent it back to them. yep it sucks, and the worst part is, I went through my bin of extras and it turns out I was wrong about having an extra legends Rock head scan, so I'm stuck with this messed up head! Maybe I can acetone it off if I get the chance. Totally understand mate. It wouldnt nearly be as bad if there werent as many other botches. Looks like ryback is chipped on his back thigh. Hopefully the acetone works, just be careful, that stuff is strong. Congrats again on the haul! |

There is now a WM30 aerial photo plaque available. Im tempted to get it. Wish the 21-1 plaque came in already so I could get the two at once. shop.wwe.com/WrestleMania-30-Aerial-Framed-Attendance-Plaque/W07821,default,pd.html

No. Enough. I wish WWE would stop flogging this concept beyond its death. Lesnar and Heyman were natural heyman guys. This forced status is bogus because it is no longer about the guy himself. WWE just took the Heyman guy concept, ran with it and have flogged it but it doesnt work so stop trying to force it! It is part of WWEs ongoing problem to let things remain organic, forced does not work!

One of the few people I have absoutely zero interest in ever seeing them return to WWE ever again. There is nothing left for him to do there regardless.

Looks great to me. Everyone who is disappointed about them doesn't understand manufacturing costs. It'd be significantly cheaper to cast the head in whatever the bulk colour it is, which in this case is brown. The skin time difference probably isn't even that noticeable. Flash and cameras always makes it look worse. Everyone understands why they did it this way. But it still looks terrible. I would've preferred it if they just used a rubber hair piece on the scan and molded the face out of the skin tone color instead. In a perfect world, yeah they could have done that as both we and they would have wanted. But the budget on these figures is too limited and they need to save costs where possible to spend budget wisely across the figures in a lineup. It's just not economical to do it that way. Plus, you then don't get the transition of the beard and his hair as it does in real life and the whole process of attachment becomes significantly more complicated. I just made sense to do it this way. |

What? No John Cena? And what the hell is that stupid triangle thing in the logo. It looks stupid. A play button. The wrestlemania location is close to Silicon Valley so they are playing off the whole technology theme. |

I got this today (ring not figures.) Btw the ropes haven't been properly tightened which explains the excess rope sticking out. The ring is awesome, only gripe is not even about the ring, but that I couldn't find any black rope at Spotlight  Try Lincraft perhaps? |

Thats great news! Hopefully it is at other stores besides Toyworld though. I have been following all the card news, even from when cena was scheduled but the ones with roman flair jericho etc sound way better. So stoked! I think i have 4th row. Wont be no WM30 but next best thing haha! Also, does anyone here want a loose legends arn anderson? Figuremania™ No worries mate, i would have been too busy to reply over the past month regardless, all good  |

Cody hasn't had one for a while.
Also, they need to hurry up and do Kane's masked tank attire in both basic and elite. It debuted at wm29 and still nothing. It's like they are intentionally avoiding I because he has a tank top and really needs new moulds because the taker ones are too thin.
