From the Vault Series 2
Bad Ass Billy Gunn
Loving ‘em, Kicking ‘em, Shoving ‘em and Sticking ‘em today is the ASS MAN bewp Billy Gunn! This is a first time welcome of this figure to my collection as I was never able to acquire the original figure for a reasonable price. The headsculpt on this figure is good, it portrays Billy in a somewhat straight faced, subdued smirking expression and I like it- when looking at the sculpts from all angles I can see Billy’s likeness. For entrance gear, mattel gave billy two interchangeable black headbands; one is a black headband with the DX logo in the center and the other is a black bandana with the tie off in the front. Both headbands look great and fit the figure fine, there are some small barely noticeable slots in his hair that they plug into. Mattel also gave this Billy a softgoods Velcro-less sleeveless black DX logo shirt. The shirt looks and fits the figure great. This Billy follows the exact formula and paint application as the original figure otherwise now with double jointed arms. He is dropping the Fame-Asser in some pink short tights that feature red, yellow, orange and pink lips placed throughout. Unfortunately as mattel is a family company us serious collectors are robbed of the accuracy of the “Mr. Ass” logo being placed right on Billy’s Mr. Mattel added paint apps for some black kneewraps underneath his pink kneepads that feature a large lip logo front and center with the BA logo inside. Finishing up this figure are some white strapped boots that feature a black DX logo on the center.
All in all this is a must have figure for the collection. mattel billy gunn figures are always/have always been in high demand and its only a matter of time before this Ass becomes premium. Currently I only have the legends Billy Gunn in the white tights to compare this figure to but I hope that they take a swing at the earlier Elite 27 Billy in the lime green tights as those are the most iconic, IMO. This look in the pink tights is still must have. Ass Man. Bewp.Bewp.
