Nikolai looks good to me. right but you can also find a million pics where he is not snarling. The action figure should have neutral faces so that they are not type cast into one mood. I know...a bit too much thought for an action figure but let's say you turn Nikolai into a face. Will happy Nikolai always be snarling? ;D

Here's my review
Piper-Not likin' the scan, Piper never smiled like that, it was always some sort of crooked grin. Great body though for a piper and the kilt is a nice add on. If the EG Piper was elite, this figure would be useless. C-
Orton-look at it! Two toned kneepads, the ace on the boots, even the vest is incredible. Never really a cowboy orton fan, but it's great, except the cast should of been removable, not painted. B+
Iron Sheik-don't even get me started. Semi tights Mattel? Really? Great body mold, but it's the semi tights that throw me off on this one. At least you could of gave us the green belt! B-
Nikolai Volkoff- not bad, not great, but good. Nikolai did in fact wear that attire with a blue stripe, and this was in his younger years, which explains a young looking volkoff, and thus a wierd headscan. I do feel that his lip and mouth area could be worked on though. Good additions of his coat and hat. Microphone for his anthem? Or at least the USSR flag? No? B+
Bushwhackers-both of their scans are incredible. Their hats are detailed to perfection. The only concern is that I remember Butch and Luke both had guts....big guts. Other than that, I'll give mattel an A- on this one

yeah, why the hell did they give him shorts??? that really sucks- i was totally looking forward to this version, cause i didnt like the pants on the other one. oh well. time to get out the paint brush. Volkoff is real hit or miss with me. Im more annoyed about his body type than his face. that guy was HUGE and had HUGE pecs and a super-wide waist and a big ass. this one looks way too slim. same for the bw's- they look too trim. also, their tattoos are SO damn dark! why solid black, thick lines? aside from that, i love everything else

i like Volkoff , its decent figure and i like to get that but i dont want another sheik since i bought Legends series 2 Sheik
Orton,Piper both looks horrible. face scans are bad.
But Bushwachkers looks amazing. i want that set. but i still dont understand what makes those guys as legends.
Series 2 Rockers is must have 2 pack!

Not liking they make Shieks trunks so long. They should have been like Nikoli's OR Legends 2. Because they just look weird. Still I will get all 3 sets. Thanks for the pics and congrats on the pickups.

Piper-Not likin' the scan, Piper never smiled like that, it was always some sort of crooked grin. Because Mattel spent the budget for the figure on going back in time and scanning a young Nikolai Volkoff? Doesn't make any sense. These Legends figures don't have headscans, the heads are sculpted from reference photographs.

I am going to end up getting them all but I think I am going to grab the Bushwackers first, and Sheik last

just went looking at three TRU's and found nothing just a bunch of basic 3's, a few elites and Legends 1, in 1 TRU they had the Elite Scale Ring but it wasnt on the shelf i could see it in the cap, luckily i don't need it cause i bought it from wweshop, but I think itd be best for them to put it out probably lol

These Legends figures don't have headscans, the heads are sculpted from reference photographs. Finally someone says it. I hate seeing scan when it should be sculpt. Just sayin'.

Great looking figures for the most part..Not big on the likeness of Butch but Luke looks great..I also hate the bodies..I really wish they would give the legends figures the basic body. Like they did with the entrance greats..Also Piper with a hot rod shirt would have been a nice touch. But i will be buying them once i see them in stores..

Awesome pickups Kollecting King : The Original and thanks for the detailed images. The Bushwhackers are the stand outs from the set but I do hate the other 2-packs of Piper/Orton and Sheik/Volkoff. I would assume all series 1 2-packs would be shelfwarmers!

I'm sad to see Sheik in shorts, should have just had blue trunks.
Thanks for the pics.

The Bushwhackers are for sure the best of this first series. For $30, I don't see the other two sets selling all that well.
I do hope they have Volkoff and Orton in the singles line-ups eventually.
