Boy, has this been a lengthy process, but I finally got lucky and found THIS yesterday:
I honestly can't believe how long it took me to find this, at least a few months. To be honest, I thought I'd never find it. I started modifying a pair of Jakks dress pants on the offchance that I'd never find it. Well I did! Saw it staring me right in the face and it's one of those moments that you always love as a collector.
Cracked it open, took the Cole legs out and here we have this!
Slightly modified, it's the customizer in me. I "painted" the buttons on the jacket and sleeves with a metallic gold sharpie for a burst of color, get rid of that black on black detail. I also switched out the hands as I've seen some people do as well. The hands are painted a weird skintone color similar to the paint on the neck, and I wasn't a fan of that so it had to go. Luckily I had some spares. I love this figure and I can't wait for Mattel to do more BAFs in the future!
On a side note I also picked up this:
WWE figs were BOGO 40% off and the last Ziggler I picked up was the first Basic he got. It was time to upgrade, I love the shiny WHC, I love the color scheme, I just wish there were more detail on the boots but that's neither here nor there. It's a good figure and one I was just waiting to get at a better price.
Along with the new Sigur Rós album (that I wasn't even aware was out) it was a good day!
