Isn't there supposed to be a Piper's Pit with this set, hence Roddy Piper? And wasn't Jericho in red in this set or was that another one? I IZ CONFUZED.

Wow... they dropped Jericho but put Show in his place. I can't really complain though! A BNB chair and mic! It's about time. I'll definitely pick up Big Show and The Rock.

niiice.. on one hand im glad show is back in but unfortunatly he replaces jericho in trunks instead of another mysterio repaint. guess my old jericho wont be used as a christian just yet.
ill be getting piper and show for sure.. but im not sure if i should hold out for series 9 rock assuming it still gets released.

Being in the UK, I think my only shot at getting them is to buy the whole set.

Great to see MOC pics finally, but this is one strange set.
Big Show (which was initially replaced by Rey Mysterio) replaces Chris Jericho in trunks, which is a fair trade. However, it would have been better had Batista been scrapped and Jericho still been included.
The theme of series 8 went from being Piper's Pit to a regular ring to these MOC pics which show a Piper's Pit ring, but include pieces of the same old ring. However, it does look promising that the ring may be the size of the TRU Exclusive one based on what look to be larger pieces.
Piper is the standout of the set, with long-awaited folding chair and microphone accessories for the BNB line. I absolutely love the result of the head sculpt, and I think it looks far better than any of the prototypes. This is a must buy for any BNB or Piper fan.
The Rock's head sculpt has an interesting transformation from proto-to-final product, and seemingly crosses eras, too. No wrist tape is a good sign, but the boots will be inaccurate. Getting a little tired of the gold logos, and it's disappointing that no knee pads were added. This will still probably be a hot seller due to the name, but it isn't great by any means.
Shawn Michaels has fail written all over it, and if it doesn't have his tattoo, it will make this terrible figure even worse. I really should've expected this from Jakks, but I almost thought it would turn out to be a solid repaint for HBK. Obviously, most people wanted the Classic attire, but anything would've been better than this. This would be a definite pass if I wasn't a BNB completist.
Rey Mysterio has had great protos and lackluster results in all of his more recent BNB releases, and this is no exception. Love the shade of blue, but the numerous missing details (mask, gloves, tights - ?) ruin anything decent about it. Yet another sigh to be expressed upon viewing BNB MOC pics, and this should be another pass for those looking for a good BNB Mysterio (Series 2 is still the best).
Big Show looks great and the singlet is almost perfect, so I have no bad things to say about it. I hoped Jakks would release his figure after a prototype wasn't shown; they did, thankfully, and they certainly exceeded my expectations. I was expecting the same torso as Henry, but this one is brand new to the line, and new is always good (when it comes to BNB).
Batista is...there. It looks to be a straight re-release, so I'll just say that SOMETHING, ANYTHING would've been better than another Batista. Even a Batista repaint.
Piper and Show will carry this set the distance, but I'm not pleased with the majority. Thanks for posting pics.

What a disgrace. Practically all of the paint detail has been left off HBK and Rey just to save money! Really crap.  Looks like i will have to do my fix-ups. Will still get Rey and paint my own white on his mask, etc, Big Show, Roddy Piper and the Rock. Love the microphone that comes with Piper. But this set is meh. |
