Picked up this basic Jade from Walmart today to see if I can get some use from this head sculpt. Gorgeous eyes for a $12 figure, how does Teela come from the same company? Will they bring their "A" game for Wonder Woman? Actually looks better in-hand compared to my photo using a napkin for a background.

I got Alba Fyre a few days ago from Amazon. She has my biggest pet peeves. No ankle pivot, not even old style rockers, but the dreaded pinned ankles.

That head sculpt and print is awesome. They do good work on that line sometimes. I hope we get that hairstyle on an ultimate or Elite.

I went ahead and pre-ordered that ultimate Rhea solely on the strength of the mask. Will look cool with Vaquero's horns.

I would get that basic Jade to put the head on the Elite, it looks great.

Aww man, this is making me sad that Jade was gone when I ran across part of that wave the other day at WM. I kinda want to grab one and a second Elite of her to do a headswap now.

I saw Walmart's UE Kurt Angle today, like their Scott Steiner, it seems like Mattel dialed back the face printing.

What do you mean, how so?

I think they look better than Mattel WWE's pre-face printed figures, but not as good as their current face printed figures. I thought Steiner was a misstep, but know they've done it two times in a row with a Walmart exclusive UE.

I know there's a selling forum thread, but...

I found a Ric Flair Luminaries chase tonight at WallyWorld. I picked him up, but if I have no interest. If anyone wants him, cost (22.99) and shipping, lemme know.

Picked up LJN style John Cena from Target. I had to give an associate the dpci# because I didn't see him on the pegs.

Just ordered Colosseum Honkey vs Warrior for what I think is a good deal at $52.99 at Amazon. I think I've got them all except Warrior vs Shango.

Honkey finally comes with a cummerbund. The Mattel jumpsuits I've had were always lacking something to cinch in the waist and messed with his silhouette. My brother has one of those Warrior cloth poster type things in real life that he bought as a kid. I'm not sure if it's the exact design. Needless to say, he had no taste in wrestlers back then.

For a brief moment I thought this was a diff thread and we were army building honkies now.

 

[secondwhiteline]

As a figure collector, I concede it's accurate to call me an army-building honky.

 

[mrboshek]

Honky hasn't been used this often since the Jeffersons

In Ringside's new video, Magic Olmos showed off the Summer Slam Chyna with new torso articulation. That's a good sign they can filter it into non-UE figures.
