Wait, you are suggesting we need someone who cares about entertainment not profit yet this is expected of the person who bought the company out? That's just absurd.

I find Neville very awkward to watch outside of an actual match, he just seems to be missing 'it'. Probably the first NXT champion that its too difficult to see potential in.
Zayn is awesome though.

Bryan looks awesome, love the scan, hope they use it on his WM elite which I intend on buying. The only thing that bugs me is the weird skintone, but im guessing that is just in pics because its painted given the head is probably cast in the hair colours plastic.
Drew looks fantstic as does Fandango. Brays scan is scarily life like.
Massive improvement on cesaro, but they need to give him the hair again.
Santinos figures are really boring now, the scans always look horrible which is shocking given how well they nailed his first ever mattel ones. It liks the face on this one is ballooning out of control.

Damn, I wanted to get the Goldust pack because he is awesome but that Cody is just so average...
Matadores look awesome but that hat accessory seems dum to me. The bull cape thing would have been better.
Rybacks attire is awesome as is punk though.

Yep. They cut to me in an episode of raw during Vince's entrance. Crazy.

Nice. This is the inverted kane most hoped for, maybe we can get it elite some day. The head is a little on the small side but definitely the best option you have.
Id also like to know how to dremell out heads, havent done it before but need to get an R3 head on my RSC excl.

To be honest, I think there is something like that in a lot more of us than we are willing to admit. The thrill of the hunt could probably be the most satisfying thing and a main reason we continue to collect. Id say I used to be more like that but given stores dont carry product here, Im forced to pick more carefull which figures I really enjoy and will go to the effort of tracking down and adding to the collection.
Its great you realised this though. You'll probably find yourself more satisfied with your collection when you pick in a more scrutinising fashion anyway.

Thanks for the comparison pics, it's great to finally see the two together. The colouring on the elite tats looks so much better and the scan is that bit more refined especially so the hat can sit on well. Enjoy the buys and thanks again for the comparison!

Why not. She makes for interesting figures, her first one was awesome. Though I fear she will fall back into obscurity by the time this was to release.

Congratulations, that big show is hard to come by especially for any kind of decent price. Id say you got a fairly good deal, enjoy!

I get the gimmick but he himself is actually the most annoying part of it. I find him boring, the only time he catches my attention is because of how annoying he as an individual is.

New Orleans was an awesome location, had the best time. Weather was fairly good. Next year at San Francisco/Silicone valley could be good but San Francisco's weather is always a gamble. Their summers are generally colder than their winters, for real. Texas would be awesome and much warmer there or Florida but they just has Florida for 28.

Elite 5 was pretty dreadful. Underwhelming choices of characters, attire and execution.

I would say slim-no chances of this happenning. The stage would not be different enough from the previously released one for Mattel to try and convince retailers to stock another one of these which by the sounds of it, didn't sell all that well.
Given my time limitations with work, I've opted to get the previous one and am currenty fixing it up to the current design.

Yeah true, it captured a particular urn, but this has been the one of choice in recent memory. Plus when I think of the earlier urns, i think of those really huge pot ones. The shine is such a nice touch. I get both go for different expression, but as you'll see when you receive this bearer, there is so much more detail in the hair and the face. The jakks one looks all strangely proportioned and whilst I get bearer can look quite animated, the jakks one just doesnt have enough detail or a likeness as strong as the mattel one. I love how pale the mattel one and how well they did with the eye make up. Maybe we can use this as a case to get more bearers from Mattel  Would love to see them do him with the brown hair or even do the black hair with red and black suit like he had in 99. Im all for more bearers haha. . You're the only person I've heard say they prefer the mattel scan. No excuse for them making him thin with the same build as Michael cole. Well I'm happy to stand a lone in my preference, doesnt bother me. I prefer it much more. Not as animated but far more realistic as seen below with the only difference being the eyebrow expression. Also, he isnt the same as cole, he has the larger jacket like Heyman did, but yes, both companies needed to make him bigger. But Id say mattel was basing their bearer of his 2010 run (and subsequent 1 or 2 appearances) where he was much thinnner than he used to be. The headscan is more like him from the past few years.   |

Damn! Hopefully you can soon man. I held off for so long but when I saw it at WM30, I knew I had to get it! Expecting mine in the mail today or tomorrow Also, im thiking about repainting the replica urn a more goldish metal colour. Cant wait to see your collection keep growing. it actually doesn't need any paint. Its painted metallic. Beautiful piece in my collection I know, but the paint seems more glossy and like an olive gold. Im thinking it should look more metallic and more orange/yellow gold than the green shade it is. I really enjoy having it too! Just considering a repaint of it. Kind of like this:  |

I really dont care about them, I just want those tag belts. These two figures are SO expensive to buy these days and when you dont give a damn about the figs and only want the belt, its too much to ask.
