Best of 2010 Basics!

[Micro]

I made a late-night visit to Walmart and found a few new things. First, I saw that they had the new Series 5 two-packs. I saw the DX & Jericho/Steamboat sets but no Carlito/Primo. The DX set was awesome but I held off on it and decided to save and wait for their Elite versions later on. Before leaving, though, a clerk came in with a new case and opened it. For a sec, I thought they might be Series 5 basics but instead, they were a completely new series, Best of 2010!

Taking a closer look, I saw that they were all rereleases of earlier series with the following lineup:

John Cena (Basic 1)
Batista (Basic 1 Variant)
Hornswoggle (: Missing)
Rey Mysterio (Basic 2)
Mark Henry (Basic 2)
Evan Bourne (Basic 1)

I thought Rey's trunk designs were a little different so I got him. It looks like they're exactly the same as the original Series 2 version, though.





Well, I thought it was strange that a "Best of" series randomly turned up especially since 2010 isn't over yet. Just thought I'd give the head's-up since I didn't see these discussed yet.

I probably won't get any of these, but it's a really good idea to leave the ridiculous stamp off, unlike JAKKS.

Yeah these were announced a few weeks ago. Nice way to get rid of backstock and let people pick up some figures they never got a chance to get but I wont be picking any of em up except possibly Evan Bourne.

I'm kinda hoping these stay far away from my wal-mart. We have a hard enough time moving the shelfwarmers the way it is. I don't want to see a bunch of re-releases on top of those. lol

My TRU hasn't gotten a new set since Basic 3 (until they finally got Two-packs series 5 in today) but I'm sure there'll be three cases of this out in a month.

If I see Bourne I might pick that up.

Do these figures have any "Stamping" on their legs or anything that say best of like the old best of Jakks. Because i hate that. I might actually pick a couple of these up if they dont have the stamp.

The Hornswoggle is from the Finlay and Hornswoggle 2 pack

No stamping.

The only one I have any interest in picking up is Evan Bourne. I may PM you for a favor juice if I don't find it soon.

And Micro Bourne is 2-packs 3 not basic 1.
