Well with the Christmas in July sale going on at WFigs, I decided to take advantage and buy Series 5 Two Packs. It also was easier for me to just order them since Im still unable to walk due to my ankle surgery. I'll be posting loose pics and reviews later tonight!
So far, without opening them, they all look excellent. The HBK looks a lot better in person than in pics. While the beard isn't perfect, it doesnt look as weird when you are looking at it right in front of you...Again, detailed loose pics and reviews coming tonight!

Ok...so without further delay...here are loose pics and reviews of Series 5 2-Packs!
CARLITO- This in my opinion is a sleeper pick for possibly the best overall figure in this series. First off, Carlito has a new scan, with his hair longer and not standing up the way it was in his first 2Pk release. Also, I love the the tight selection and black arm and hand tape/band as it completes this figure as heel Carlito. Even if you dont want this 2Pk, at least try to get your hands on this Carlito.
PRIMO- I was happy this figure was included because I wanted a Primo in tights. It gives Primo a different feel from his brother. However, I think this figure is just a victim of the fact that Primo is a generic, glorified jobber. The tights are generic, the colors are dull and plain, and nothing really stands out about him. One question though, doesnt his scan look like its for a heel persona? Wasnt he the face versus his brother? Anyways, just an additional body for my selection.
CHRIS JERICHO- This is a great figure. The tights are obviously outdated, but I like the color scheme. The tights and boots are well detailed, but I think this figure would have been even better with Jericho's new scan. Anyways, if you want yet another Jericho to add to your selection, you wont be dissapointed with the effort put into this one.
RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT- All hail the Dragon. This figure is AWESOME. It truly captures the aging legend and pays a great tribute to him and his fued with Y2J last year. They even used the correct parts to make him just a tad smaller than Y2J which is really paying attention to detail. The design on the tights and boots are absolutely brilliant as they are covered with dragons, which are very detailed. The scan used was also good, however, my one knock is that I do not like the molded headband put on Ricky. I think its the only mis step on an otherwise Beautiful figure.
TRIPLE H- Are you ready?! Well The Game is in his full DX attire. I like the updated DX gear, and this figure is a mix of good and bad. The Good? I love the tank design on Hunter's trunks and the King of Kings designs on his boots. However, I dont like the fact that he doesnt have DX elbow pads, instead, he has his regular Triple H elbow pads. The scan is still the only Hunter scan we have had since Mattel launched. Its a good figure, but not a great figure. Im sure many in WFigs will wait for the Elite version to arrive.
HBK SHAWN MICHAELS- I have to admit Im biased with this fig, because Im a die hard HBK fan for over 18 years. However, I like this fig a lot. My personal fav (again because of my bias). HBK has his Elite figure scan, however Mattel added his beard to this one. So far, Mattel has given two shots at adding a beard to HBK. While I think this one was a better effort, its obvious that the one thing Mattel has yet to figure out how to do correctly, is add stubble to their figures. Mattel gave Shawn his tat on his left arm, and his DX pants were appear to be missing some color. Still, the figure is a good DX HBK, as they even added the green wristbands he was wearing near the end of his DX run. Again though, much like HHH, I think there are some that will wait for his more complete Elite figure that is upcoming.
So there you go folks! Hope you enoyed the loose pics and reviews! Leave comments, thoughts, opinions...just show some love! Happy Hunting!
