The leg warping is an issue if it stays in the packaging for years. I have a Demolition Ax that’s pretty bowlegged because I bought him MOC in like 2014. It also happens if you throw your figures in a bin. The weight of other figures on the legs will bow them.

I am not sure 100% about this, because I stored him in a bin but this might have been a problem since I bought him in 2013 or so. On the first page there are 10+year old photos and I think I can see that something was wrong with his feet. Due to the weight of other figures it got worse probably.

Love the signed doink bendie. Nice additions to your colleczion. I see dome i need still myself. Enjoy the hunt.

I just love Doink, he was my favourite wrestler in my childhood. I think Brooklyn Brawler might have signed this Doink, I'm still on the fence about writing him a mail.
With that being said, I received my newest member of the Wyatt Family. It is the Elite 48 Erick Rowan that I bought loose.




I also bought a very important figure in the German-speaking wrestling universe, who I also think we'll see on Raw or SD in the near future.



I just wish they would find a solution for the international cardboxes, I hate them without the text on the back. (Most of the time I don't care, but when it's an important moment it is indeed annoying) But I don't see myself paying double or triple just to have the international box. With that being said, I have finally received an Elite 102 Gunther! I just hate amzn, the figure was of course crushed by their stupid packaging. Thinking about sending it back and buying a new one, probably not worth the hassle. Originally wanted to keep the E102 MOC but I might just open him and keep the future Top Picks MOC.



Enjoy your week!!!

I thought I was done for this week but can I have your attention, please? I believe I just received a mail from the anonymous RAW letter carrier!


I hated M. Cole so much during that period, he was soooooooooo annoying and shoved down our faces. Might be the reason I didn't buy him back then, but really happy now as he has been really solid in the last few years.

HOW IS THIS THE ONLY FIGURE THAT MATTEL HAS RELEASED OF HIM???

At the very least give the guy a new basic. They gave Cory Graves a basic. They made the Renee Young abomination. They made both a basic and an elite Ricardo Rodriguez.

Why this is the only Michael Cole figure in over a decade of Mattel figures, when I'm pretty sure the guy is the longest tenured on screen personality they have, is beyond me.

[kgchampion]

I really hope that with Vince gone, Mattel will be allowed to make figures of on-camera personalities that aren’t wrestlers. I assume we didn’t get another Cole figure was because that was during the time they were hyping up Cole as more than a commentator. I’m pretty sure Mattel would’ve made another one over the 12 or so years if they were allowed to.

New receivings just in time for the biggest event of the year!
Bought this LA Knight because I wanted to swap heads with the Elite 108 but that looks horrible. Since amazon didn't care about the packaging as always I might just return him. I hate that so much because it wastes a lot of resources and isn't sustainable.

Bought a second E9 Luke Gallows loose because I wanted to pair them with both my SES Punks. My older one is on the left, the new one doesn't look that dull. I'm wondering if mine lost a litte bit of colour due to sunrays.

On top of that I received two more very special figures. The first one is the BAF Michael Cole SummerSlam Daniel Bryan Elite which is MOC one of the rarest regular figures I have ever seen. I recently bought a complete BAF Cole so I can keep this Bryan MOC. The E13 Cody was already opened before but put back in the box and I will probably keep him like that. That figure is astonishing and represents a gimmick I was a big fan of. Both of them were quite expensive but absolutely worth it!




Hope you guys enjoy Wrestlemania! Thanks for coming by!

Small update
I tried doing a Pipe Bomb CM Punk before he was announced, will stop and wait for the DM.

Received 3/4 of the newest WM BAF set, will get The Rock when I find him for a good price. What I do hate about the set that this is now the 3rd time I buy a green Elite Cena. (E20/BAF John L.)


Got a nice Elite Balor MOC and a Ricochet as well because I wanted to give Gunther the belt. Yeah, so there's that.. And I do hate how they handle international card design, those backs look horrible.


I have been slowly running out of space so I had that restructure some shelves which is why I could take some more photos of my old legends. Never realized they changed the packaging after Series 3.










I bought Macho Man twice back then, thinking about selling the loose one. Have a great weekend!

Took a bit longer to take some new pictures since I caught another cold last week. Got some new stuff in!!!
Saw a German selling these two MOC so I had to get them, sucks a bit that I already sold my MOC Rowan but will get him to complete the MOC Family. I love the stories on the back of the boxes, adds a great theme to them. Only need 2-3 more MOC Wyatt Family figures and I will finally have them completed.
E: WAIT WHAT I JUST SAW ON THE BACK OF THE BOX THAT THE LANTERN IS GLOW IN THE DARK??? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???


I have always been a big big fan of Jeff Hardy, he was definitely my childhood hero. His return at WM 33 gave me goosebumps, back then I had so many Jakks figures of him. So currently trying to buy some of his figures. 2006-2016 were my peak years of WWE, so I was really relived when I got the chance to buy this Sting.


Finally managed to get a Bearer, was really expensive. It was actually the most expensive figure out of those new receivings. Insane to think that he was just released. Didn't want to play the scouting game any longer and just gave in. Bought all of the figures from the same seller so I was fine with it.


My last pickup for today is SILENCE! Was a big fan of this figure when it came out but never managed to buy one. One of my favourite figures especially regarding the story about the MITB cases. Great figure! Would love to display him with my E20 Cody Rhodes but I will never ever open this beautiful box.


Have a great week!
