I'm still not completely sold on that Piper, looks a bit cartoonish to me.

Wow thanks for these pics KK:TO!!! I wasn't totally blown away by this series, and it's a bit weird to see Shieky in blue shorts (didn't he only wear either trunks or 3/4 length jeans?). Still the robe and headress are nice alternate clothes for my LG2 Shiek. Volkoff is the sleeper hit here - excellent figure all around - perfect body-type too!! Not really interested in Piper or Orton but it's difficult not to like Orton - he looks fantastic, and is that a pleather jacket? Mattel pulls out all the stops! Not interested in the Bushwalkers either, but they are very well done. Dang when is RSC going to throw these up on their site for orders!!!!

The Sheepherders look good. (Sorry Bushwackers name was a disgrace) Like the Sheik and Volkoff but Volkoff head is not very good. I will pass on the Piper and Orton as I have the Piper that is out already and Orton ill wait for a single release.

2-pack Legends Series 2 is going to blow the roof off!!!!
Your pics have convinced me to pick up a Piper/Orton pack along with the Shiek/Volkoff I was getting.

I don't get it, Volkoff's scan looks like his cardback artwork... Well to each his own, I think it's a pretty good figure - increases my chances of getting a second Volkoff from someone in a trade for extra red knee pads!

Yeah, the Shiek looks weird to me...maybe it's the thigh extensions on his trunks?
Love the stripe on Volkoffs tights and his torso is perfect.
Roddy Piper's hair...is made from milk chocolate? Orton is smooth and the Bushwhackers are amazing, best of the sets.

Volkoff's scan looks fine. He wasn't known for his good looks people!
Sheik turned out alright. Little confused about the tights, but it isn't that big of a deal.
I couldn't stand the Bushwhackers gimmick, yet I kinda want those figures. They both turned out great. Especially Luke.
Piper is okay. Sorta iffy on the face. Just wish it would have came with a shirt. I hate to buy both EG piper & this two pack.
Cowboy Bob looks amazing. I was never a huge fan of his, but the figure couldn't be any better. Love the hat hair.

Mattel has to cut back with the odd faces. We know Nikolai snarled but not permanately. Piper needs a cocky, crooked, grin....not a wide open smile. I hate Shiek's trunks and will hope to pick up Nicolai on single card or loose from Ebay because series 2 Shiek is much better.

I'm not really digging the Piper, I wonder how hard it is to boil & pop the upper legs by the hips and switch them with the Shiek so that Shieky will be wearing blue trunks???
Hmmm the possibilities....

Maybe I'm the only one to have figured this out...because no one seems to ever mention it...
As far as I can tell...every Mattel figure's face matches their picture on the package. Or at least is as close to that as possible.
Thanks for the awesome pics. It's gonna be hard spending $30 on these...I might just get Piper/Orton because I'm happy with my Jakks Bushwackers & Volkoff...plus I think Legends Series 2 Sheik is better than that one. Piper/Orton is my favorite overall in the set. Orton is fantatstic.

Eeek! Not very big on Sheik's semi tights.
However, I will probably buy the set because I want a Sheik and that Volkoff looks like a good way to fix-up a Dr Death Elite.
I didn't know Orton had green tights, I'll definitely be buying him too so I can turn him into Chris Hero (and I want Piper)
