Yep, my first RSC order of a Mattel product has arrived, alongside my purchase from RSC's eBay store. Elite Series 5 Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. And I can only guess that they saw the order for Swagger and the auction for Ziggler were going to the same place, because I never got a shipping notice for my Swagger order, which I got an e-mail for all my past RSC orders. But no matter, they both got here, and they are great figures.
Fisrt, we have PERFECTION. Dolph Ziggler's theme song never rang truer than it does for this Elite figure. It is, IMO, as close to figure perfection as you can get. Dolph's accessory is his vest
-The scan is dead on, and IMO, so much better than the Basic 4 offering. It is different if you compare the 2.
-The wrist tape is completely designed. The pic I saw on the WFigs main page looked like underneath, covering the palm of the hand was the flesh toned plain tape. So a plus in that department. The vest is awesome! It's like a pleather type material, not like the hard plastic we got on Undertaker and Edge's trench coats from Elite 1. That was their first Elite series though, and I can totally let that slide. The front is painted with the studded sides like where it would fasten, and there is a leopard print filled DZ logo on the back of the vest as well.
-The attire is great. Not that it is [or was on Basic 4] a big deal, but the zipper is there on the front of the shorts, as is a DZ logo on front of both thighs. Plain black kneepads fit Ziggler just fine, and the boots is where the Elite figure surpasses the Basic again. These boots are white with black along the tongue in the front, plus the straps that wrap around the side. The front 2/3's of the boots are black as well, so they are all around 2-toned black and white, unlike the Basic, which is plain white. Glad I sprung for this on eBay instead of settling for the Basic 4 I saw in the store no more than 2 weeks before I ordered this.

Boots and the detail.
Next up, we have the All-American American, former ECW Champion and WM26's Mr. Money In The Bank, and former World Heavyweight champion, Jack Swagger. Jack's accessory is an extra singlet that is blue, with red and black designs.
-The scan is decent to represent his current gimmick of being taken seriously. I prefer the Basic 2 scan, and have swapped it with this scan, and it looks much better IMO.
-The attire fits Jack well. His singlet is black with a yellowish-orange design down both sides, and silver outlining it. That's basic for his attire, but that's what he wears. Good thing we didn't get him in Stone Cold-esque trunks like his first match against Tommy Dreamer [if I'm not mistaken]. Not really much else to say.
-His kneepads and boots are plain black, but again, that's what he wears. Nothing much to say there.

Overall, these are 2 incredible figures. Definitely worth what I ended up paying for them, and as good as pictures are of Chavo, Mark, and Vladimir....these 2, IMO, are the gems of Elite 5. Enjoy!
