Basic 61 looks a lot more like the man. For some weird reason I think his original scan favors Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.  Hmmm....yeah, I see it!  |

The new scan reminds me of when people were making custom Neville's with the smirking wade barrett scan

got the original and baf bearer versions but if b61 and e42 use the same head b61 is a pass for me. Same here! Well, I have the Kmart NXT Superstars 3-pack, since I passed on B50 Zayn & B52 Neville previously. Actually, I'm quite glad I did in hindsight, what with that sweet orange packaging, plus a second purple Breeze, packed this time, doesn't hurt. Not to mention I may need my loose B53 Tyler Breeze fringe tassels for the NWO Macho Man Ultimate Fan Pack correction later on as well (along with removal of the unnecessary knee pads). But to your point, they are the same scan (B 61 & E 42), which is what makes B61 a pass on my end as well. In fact, I already passed, having seen B61 series at both Wal*Mart & Target in my area just yesterday. Only Ryder & Natalya for me was deemed a necessity in sifting. Ok, so maybe the Balor later if the ones I voluntarily stocked (they can't sell on the risers not being on the empty pegs, Wal*Mart, you goofs!) for everyone else to have a chance at them. Three cases @ Wal*Mart, only one being stocked OF COURSE...with the 1 Natalya per case breakdown being already sold, so I admit I had to take it upon myself to open one to luckily find Natalya on top and with good QC, at that, although I had to take the newly opened case Zack 'cause the one already out was horrifying looking unfortunately. By the way, as mentioned, didn't just do that for myself, I figured it'd assist kids & collectors alike by having more choices when filling those empty slots & several workers didn't seem to mind me doing their job for them either. I guess I have a quirky pet peeve/OCD about that sorta stuff? Albeit a general disclaimer is that something just got into me that was atypical at said time, it isn't something I'd normally do, but pulling such domi-NATricks ensured a purchase in knowing Natty was up there as was a more preferable Ryder, so win-win for store & myself, I s'pose. I woulda probably made it more worth my while had there not been two left over figures unable to be placed properly upon pegs unless crammed (honestly, why that case wasn't put out other than on the top shelf earlier, I'm sure, before some sold by the time I arrived to browse). In a former life aka past grocery store stocking days, climbing up the ladder or even as an eventual dairy manager/front office asst. mgr., I mighta figured out a way at my own/old job considering it woulda cut down on back-stock/overstock/fill-up/re-pack (whatever ya wanna call it) consolidation, but I already was taking a liberty as it was, which I know can be to the chagrin of uptight, by the book employees at places, albeit after checking so as to inform a clerk, I'll reiterate being in the clear, for it was helpful according to him, if nothing else. as I'm currently running outta display space & could use as many empty figure shipment boxes as possible, in addition to a couple I was permitted to leave with in hand several days ago. I always ask if I see empties lying around (IF "needed" that is) even though most places are just like where I used to work, as I am aware, in that they just discard or crush in a baler, etc. [TLDR Version: Random figure aisle perusing story aside, point being B61 & E42 = same scan, so B61 = logical pass for you & I (and probably many others too).] |

I dunno but I think Mattel needs to pump out at least 26 more purple Neville's in case anyone missed the previous ones. To be fair, he hasn't had all that many different colors to his gear yet. We got the grey and yellow and a bunch of the purple...what's left? I think he wore red and black and burgundy and black and that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Yeah, just the red, burgundy, & purple versions of his main roster gear. Wouldn't mind a figure in the Pokeball attire from his Takeover loss to Zayn, but I think that ship has sailed. |
