Amazing set up.
Love the shelving and the lighting, so many figures there and it doesn't even look cramped.
Probably the cleanest setup i've seen
So jealous!

Went to Asda Living store in Bradford today and they had the TNF forever figures on 2 for £14.
I already have Eddie so picked up Undertaker and Y2J.
They also had in the Wrestlemania basics and pretty much full sets of Elite 33 and 34.
Was the best I have ever seen Asda stocked with WWE figures

Big E - think this is the closest to a "definite", with Xavier and Kofi in E42 and 43 Stardust - in purple Seth Rollins White Attire - this sounds about right, good call! Sheamus - with the new head,of course Tugboat FB - it was listed in that leak from a little while ago... Narcissist FB - also listed in the leak... Fingers crossed for white Seth, Tugboat and Narcissist |

I've just started getting into these figures, and my god the early ones are going for a fortune on ebay.
There are a lot on from China that seem too cheap to be legit, about £15 for supposedly new Darth Maul / Vader / R2D2 etc....
Has anyone taken a punt on one of these? Are they cheap copies, factory seconds, stolen or what? They will be manufactured in China so can see how they could be available cheaper over there.

 Fixed the hat, thanks for the tips above. Hot water and freezer did the trick. Yeh it wasnt until I had the old E1 Undertaker out last night to compare that I realised just how good that old figure holds up still today...one that Mattel nailed pretty good first time |

I picked up the new Wrestlemania Elite Undertaker figure today. I like the figure, the fabric coat is great and allows for better posing/playing compared to the molded plastic jackets. My only gripe with the figure is the hat, there were at least 6/7 Takers on the shelf, and on every single one the hat was bent out of shape. I picked the best one out of the bunch, is there any way to flatten the brim of the hat at all?   The hat is just a small gripe on an otherwise great figure. The Wrestlemania elites cost more than the regular elites, and I dont remember the older Undertaker elites having the same issue regarding the hat. I dusted off (literally) my Elite 1 Undertaker and the hat was/is perfect.   Is this a common thing with the hats now? My Undertaker from the BAF Corporate Kane set was the same too, maybe not quite as bad. I wonder if they have changed the quality of the plastic the hat is made from, as they have always used the same blister packaging, but the hat was bent while still in the box, not as a result of being removed from the packaging. |

Picked up Eve, Sasha and WM Undertaker from Leeds Smyths yesterday
Was also tempted by a couple of the Star Wars black series figures, the older Han Solo and Captain Phasma, but decided against it.
Collecting is just so expensive these days!

I like wrestling and wrestling figures, which is why I buy Mattels.
I like zombies, I watch Walking Dead and like the George Romero movies.
If I wanted zombie figures I would probably buy Walking Dead figures.
Not sure why I would want zombie wrestlers? Unless they looked spectacular in person these are an easy pass for me.

Off to the new Smyths that's opened in Leeds tomorrow. No longer collecting figures but will have a look for anyone that cares. Anything decent there? |

Good looking figure which I will definately pick up and will look amazing on display.
I just wish it had a jacket like the DM Macho Man figure from WM7, that had a detailed design, the arms were fully mobile and poseable and the tassles being fabric could hang naturally. The plastic tassles just look a bit odd.
It would fully justify its DM status/price then imo

If you can find him at your local Smyths ,DM Undertaker is now only £10 . ........ Or please go to Bradford TRU instead and price match Smyths. Need to get rid of the 30-odd DM Undertakers shelf warming there |

Wouldnt surprise me if Lemmy gets a posthumous induction into the HOF celebrity wing this year. Contributed several significant themes for Triple H/Evolution and performed live at Wrestlemania. Was also a good friend of Triple H.
Probably more deserving than some other celebrities who are in the HOF

Shes wearing the ring in the movie.
Im guessing they let her keep the ring and the payday means she doesnt need to sell it........for now.
Could be the start of a slippery slope!!

If you go on amazon.co.uk there are sellers on there that stock the red markers and will deliver direct to the US. You can cut out a middle-man then.  |
