So yesterday i stopped in to TRU to see if they had anything worth getting for the $6.99 basic sale and to my surprise they had a ton of basic 20 and 21. i had a 5 dollar off when you spend 25 coupon from my tru credit card so i wound up getting my daughter a toy and a basic mahal,swagger and gabriel for like $5.74 each not a bad deal! Anyway i have never done a review before but decided to do a quick one on basic 21 jack swagger becasue it is very different from his previous figures. first off this figure uses a new bigger torso with a singlet. i dont think swagger is this big but it works better for him than the previous mold. the attire choice is nice and they did a great job on the paint apps on both the figure and knee pads. the head scuplt is the same used in wm heritage but rescaled larger which is great considering the figure itself is much larger than previous swagger figures(comparioson pics below) im not one to nit pick but i wasint that thrilled with the big biceps on ths swagger figure as he has more long lean arms BUT the arms are longer than his previous figures so thats a plus becasue he has really long monkey arms anyway lol. look at the big the size differnce on the basic 21 swagger compared to the wm heritage figure. a HUGE improvment IMO

wow those upper arms looks ridiculous. i'd definitely swap those swaggers arms. the scan is way better than the ones that preceded it but it's still off. but i love the vibrant attire and would love to get this figure in elite. thanks for the review

Ill pick it up if I see it for sure. My last Swagger was the elite with the bonus singlet. Still one of my favorite mattel accesories.

I'm hoping to get this figure today. I'm glad they've finally made an attempt at making the basic Swaggers accurately scaled. The guy's huge in real life and his figures were looking the same size as Cody Rhodes. Ill pick it up if I see it for sure. My last Swagger was the elite with the bonus singlet. Still one of my favorite mattel accesories. That's probably my least favourite of the elite accessories. It's like a baggy pair of dungaree shorts. Doesn't work as a singlet at all.

My girlfriend picked me up a Swagger, Ryan and Phoenix today! So tomorrow I'll get to see the new Swagger too, looking forward to it.

Wow that comparison is madness ... Looks like I'll be selling the WM figure and getting this one.
I'm glad they corrected his arms to a true reflection of their actual size.
