OMGZ OMGZ BATTLE PACKS 28, ELITE 28 AND BASIC 39!! I was going to get Bryan, Triple H and Bray from Elite 28 but I don't think I can shell out $130 for just three figures, will probably actually go through with it...sadly. I wouldnt spend that much, GFC is generally overpriced. Itd be cheaper to buy the set off RSC and sell the extras. Or if you know someone in the US, get them from amazon and get the person to send to you. The prices to buy new elite figs to this country are ridiculous imo. |

Definitely wm14! Probably the biggest period not yet covered. Plus imagine the incredible job they could do in capturing the entrance coat. Wm14 please!!

I'm totally ok with this but only if the game genuinely feels refreshed and isn't solely to boost sales capitalizing on WM hype. I want the longer time frame only f the game has actual visual and noticeable improvement. I know they won't completely overhaul the mechanics but they could at least try and get the visual to a higher standard closer to like TNA did do.

Thanks mate! Good to be back but still wish I was over in the US. The wresltemania experience was nothing short of incredible! Will get back to you soon! Hopefully you can find the others at big w as they are 18 there which is better than 22 at Coles for sure. No Coles I ever go to has figures unfortunately  Awesome to here mate! sounds good! Hope so, so much Basic 38 at the moment and its definitely a better price that's for sure. Got a steal today at Target, picked up the complete set of the Mattel Belts (WHC/WWE/IC/US) for $2 each! they put them on clearance from $35 when they weren't suppose to seeing as its new stock, they took the tag down so fast when they let me get em for the price! Wow, congratulations!! That is fantastic!! What an awesome price, how could you not buy them all! Hopefully everyone has luck with B39. Ive gotta go out this weekend and get a nice glass display cabinet for my replicas (including my freshly bought Wrestlemania 30 WWE title I carried all around the US haha) and maybe some figs! Got a wwe shop order coming with bearers urn in it and that AWESOME undertaker macfarlane statue but dont think itll fit inside. Will have to go on my desk.  |

Yeah there is no way that HHH could be in the set. The earliest you'd be looking at getting it would have to be past december this year. Would make for a great figure in a WM30 elite line though. Is Show's torso new? It looks thicker than previous figures. Maybe it's just the new scan and the blue making it seem that way. I know what you mean, when I first saw the pics something looked different. But from comparing it to his other elites, it must be the same. Big show has had quite a few good elites, but this is my favourite. Its probably the least talked about figure in the set but probably the most underrated. I think the blue camo looks awesome and im glad he has unique leg sleeves. Also, most smiling scans are horrid but this one they actually nailed. Its possibly his best expression theyve captured in terms of likeness. |

Id love it but it wont happen. It would likely be his WCW or APA runs. APA id be down for, as long as there is an accompanying JBL.

Awesome! In spite of a straight Cena reissue, this is one hell of a set! Can't wait for it to hit around here. I personally love the basic line, that Gabriel, as well as Slater have been screaming in the back of my brain to be bought since they showed them at Toyfair. The slater looks awesome in person! I was very tempted to get him but the one there had a misaligned facial hair so I had to pass. B39 is a nice looking set, best christian basic yet. Nice gets! Where did you find these? Im in Australia. Found at Big W (its a department store here). How did basic 39 already hit retail in Australia so fast?And Gabriel is a very good figure, especially for a basic No idea. We dont get 95% of the stuff, just random basics. |

Not worth giving attention to because she doesnt deserve it. She couldnt even claim a fraction of JRs knowledge. Shes running a sinking ship but that aside, she has a terrible social media reputation for making the most ridiculous and wild statements. Maybe she should learn before she trash talks.

The basic that builds booker is actually surprisingly nice. I didnt care for it because I just wanted to build booker but the attire looks awesome and the scan is quite good. The silver and green looks great.

cool (short) story... im gonna have to guess though that Mattel/RSC didn't base this figure on a one-off ROH appearance early in his WWE career. I'd be willing to bet they just did it because since they never bothered to poll us about what attire we wanted (red or yellow) they just merged both together as a "fantasy" attire...like them putting the KANE logo on the glove of Hardcore Kane despite him never wearing that glove and the glove was only sold through WWE shop I reckon the reference pics they were sent were probably from punks early days and the attire he wore when these studio shots were taken (which may have wen the ones used at the roh show) were as we see on the fig but were never actually utilized on TV. Good chance this is what happened with the Kane glove but maybe he was just wearing the wwe shop one in that photo shoot. Surely all of this comes back to being provided with inaccurate studio reference shots. |

Just found leftover b38 at big w along with b39 all except Wyatt. I bought rvd and Gabriel (which has to be one if the coolest basics ever). Tempted to get slater but didn't. It kind of had a misaligned facial hair anyway.

No joke, the mattel ones are way better. The one you showed is dreadful along with all those crappy ones on WWE shop that look like horrible fakes. They lack the texture and form of the real masks and the wigs look ridiculous. As said, the only good Kane masks are custom made ones. The mattel one is pretty cool, its made from a rubber like texture.

I dont relly care for the punk as I dont feel the need for any other than the awesome E16 but it does look awesome in your display. I just really wish they had painted the side plates on the ECW title. I only want this figure for the belt and mic to give to my Kane display.

Thanks for the pics mate. Belt looks awesome but there are going to be SO many of this figure for sale on ebay and here cause nobody wants it.

Congrats on getting the Bearer, this figure is awesome. He really helps complete the display. Love mine.

Mixed feelings on this one. I don't hate it but there is some disappointment especially since it is my favourite attire of his and every attempt at this attire from whichever company has been underwhelming since the r3 which is one of the best figures of all time really.
Kane should not be written on the glove. The red on the mask should be darker and minimal, this would instantly boost the look of the figure. I get reusing e12s head but at least paint it more accurately. The painted belt as a cost cutting measure does look cheap mainly because it's just too big. Would have been nice to see an attempt at the cross stitch mesh on the singlet but that's a very expensive process. I don't mind the covered flesh colour patches though I think it's a few tones away from being spot on. I won't go into the reuse of moulds because that's a whole other story. Really they should have just made a new singlet torso for Kane back for the first masked exclusive because they could have used it for that, this and now the Current Kane.
The hardcore belt is pretty awesome, I like the one piece belts. Obviously that prevents vac metal coating because it's an entire coat but the hardcore title was not a glitzy shiny belt. The colour missing from the belt is noticeable, though to execute the spray effect on such a small scale would be difficult.
Overall, I'm glad we got a Kane in this attire. However when I look at it, I just thjnk what could have been if they nailed it like they have with absolutely every Kane figure since 2010.
