Wal-Marts getting Better (pick-ups)

[Deleted]

Been kinda quiet on here for a bit... just moved actually and am finally settled in so can get back to finishing my custom cage, but first... the pick-ups... all suprisingly from my local Wal-Mart. They just re-did the shelving 3 days ago and re-stocked...

But First the figure I got from wal-mart before the reset happened (like 2 weeks ago)... the most regal of all
KING BOOKER





My Gawd This Booker is awesome... just spot on with the wide eyes and hair and even the tats... Plus the crown, septor, and cape are sweet

As always... Mattel VS Jakks





Just sad to see them side by side and how off Jakks Booker T really was... For Shame

Next Up is Mr. Suspension (I keed lol)
EVAN BOURNE





Just love this figure and can't wait for matching Kofi... The Tag title is great and the rubber shirt works for this cut of shirt.. The attire is reeally detailed to with AIR BOOM spanning across both legs

Now we have up the ever exciting *cough* BOTCH *cough*
SIN CARA





Great fig and the jacket is a cool add on... I like this color better than the new Elite he has coming out to so I grabbed this one up and will just pass on his future one unless he really drastically changes looks and not just color scheme

And finally he is the Worlds Strongest Man (in 1996 lol)
MARK HENRY





Love the angry scan as opposed to his 1st Elite (that came and went b4 I really started collecting again) and the red and black attire is his most worn so it works... World Title really captures the House of Pain few month terror he ran with so it works

Now Mattel VS Jakks round 2



Oh what a joke Jakks really was with their super heaveyweights... the arms don't go down any further on the Jakks one so he just looks goofy but the cloth attire was pretty cool... pont tail hair always seemed wrong to me but Mattel knocked it outta the park IMO so round 2 goes to Mattel as well

And then just for fun



HENRY SMASH... HENRY?

I EAT YOUR LUNCH.... AND STEAL YOUR CLOTHES

Wanted to see what it looked like with the Jakks cloth attire on the Mattel Henry and its kinda skimpy lol

Thanks for looking

Nice pickups

My walmart said they're getting alot in-stock because of "The Christmas season"? Whatever, but Im happy about it. Shelves full of E15 and B17. I saw at least 5 Sin Cara's and 3 yoko's.

There was a Yoko there too but I passed on it... not really a Legend collector anymore and didn't want to get it just to have it when there may be someone looking for it that really wants it for their collection

and yes I realize Booker is a "legend" fig but he is also very current so thats why I got him lol, plus was always a big Booker T fan

[lestial12]

I wish more collectors thought like you. Nothing bothers me more than someone buying something they dont really want just to have it because its A) popular or B) they want to sell it. Great pickups too.

[Billy F'N Shogunn]

walmart is indeed on the upswing. i recently found me a fresh case of E15 and picked me up the Yoko for my Legends/Flashback collection. Came REEEAL close to gettin Sin Cara but i decided to hold out for E18(?) in the white.

Got Henry and Truth a while back from (gl)amazon and i'm really happy with both of them, Truth especially. Really solid set. nice pickups.

[Scott!]

Man, Jakks mark Henry is laughably bad compared to Mattel. Nice pickups.

[si4life02]

Wow I'm glad everyone is starting to see Yoko

[dontquestionmyhart]

The Jakks King Booker was a joke. Just look at it, it's horrible.

[Goon.]

Great pickups!!, mattel are amazing!,

[realjuicewinslow]

Nice stuff.

WalMart is good... at the moment... don't get too excited. lol.

[0,Y]

Booker T is probably Mattel's best figure so far. But good god did Jakks suck

[Joejitsu22]

Mine still suck.

Walmart is getting better. I went to my Walmart today who has had nothing but Flex Force and Rumblers for 2 years (Ever since Series 3!) Today that had all of Elite 15 and Elite 16. Got myself Punk and Slater

[Grant]

As your Walmart is getting better, mine is getting worse. Mine was great for months, always new elites. But now nothing. Retail stores tend to switch with which one is better around here. First it was Target, then Sears Grand, then, TRU, then Walmart. Now I need to find which store is most current.

I really like the Mattel Jakks comparison pictures. It makes me appreciate Mattel a lot more.

[Here Come The Hawks]

my walmarts got alot better
