Elite 5/Basic 2-Pks 5 MOC & Loose Images!

[chicago]

WrestlingFigs.com has added MOC (yes, not prototype) images of the new Mattel WWE Basic Series 5 2-Packs.

D-Generation X (Triple H & Shawn Michaels)


Carlito & Primo


Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat vs. Chris Jericho


RSC is expected to have them in stock earlier than was originally slated, which means they should start shipping in early July (or within the next two weeks).

I'm not going to buy this series from them, but I will definitely consider getting all three sets. I'm just a little disappointed that Jericho doesn't have the new Elite head since I didn't want to have to buy a straight repaint of him (I own the 2-Packs Series 1 figure).

DX is not great, but it looks good for what it is. Same can be said for The Colons, a spot which could/should have been used for someone else.

Wait a second, is that Jericho and Steamboat thing from like 2 Wrestlemanias ago?

[chicago]

It's actually a mish-mash of their attires worn during their feud.

Jericho's is from WrestleMania XXV (like you were saying) and Steamboat's is from their Backlash PPV match a few weeks later.

the only one that sparks the slightest interest from me is y2j/dragon. don't care for the rest.

My God, Snuka and Piper were so bad in that match.

If I have trouble finding the Legends Ricky, I'll pick up the 2-pack.

I probably will pick up the Colons, because I passed on the first set and like these updated versions anyway.

Often, I wonder if I should have collected the Elite line instead of all Basics; this is one of those times.

[ZT]

Why not both? They blend together just fine. Scale and everything is the same.

[lk]

yeah man, i just get whichever i like. i'll probably get Swagger and Jericho/Dragon.

Aware of this, but I can easily fall into a trap where I want to have an even balance of the two lines and I end up spending more than originally planned.

It's the completionist in me that I look to avoid at all costs.

Man that Chavo looks so detailed!
