They had Elite 12 Orton and Del Rio, but no Bryan/Kane/Shango. I was crushed until I found the Legends Series 6 figures.

Sitting here playing around with my Von Erich figures, it kind of makes me sad that they made two versions of Kerry, but not one of David. I remember back in the CS three pack days, Kerry/Kevin/David were my most requested three pack, especially after they made the Freebirds. Now, we've got two of the Von Erichs, we're never gonna get the third or the Freebirds. It's kind of sad.

I found the new wave of Rumblers. Well, most of it, anyway. Gabriel/Jackson was pretty unremarkable. Rey and... I forget who Rey was paired with, it's the new sculpt 619 Rey. Best set I saw was the one I bought with Daniel Bryan and Sheamus. DB looks great.
Now found: John Cena and The Rock.

Looks like it's Rey/Swagger  |

Yup, that was it. I don't think Swagger is improved any in this color scheme. The red and blue on the previous version fit the All-American American much better. I am tempted to get Swagger and The Miz but I would have to sell off the Cena and Bourne who come packed with them, heh.
Good pic of the new packaging as well, Switch!

I kinda like the 619 pose Rey though...

The pose is cool but I already have three Rey Rumblers (TRU exclusive set, 2-pack with Kane, 2-pack with Del Rio), I personally wouldn't want a fourth one in that attire.

So earlier tonight I set a timer for like, 90 minutes I think it was and I broke out my action figures in my old ass Real Sounds Arena ring (anyone who collected around 2000 probably remembers this thing). The match was Eddie Guerrero, Evan Bourne and Ricky Steamboat vs. Tyson Kidd, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk. Long story short, the match went all 90 minutes without so much as a pinfall. I'm not sure why I decided to actually play a match with my figures but I had a complete blast doing so. Played a shorter match between Kerry Von Erich (WCCW version, not Tornado) and Big Show right after which Kerry won when he applied the claw on Big Show when Show went for a chokeslam.

Alright, at TRU I found Kerry Von Erich, Texas Tornado (both for my brother), Kevin Von Erich, and a series 3 Brian Pillman!

The regular Kerry Von Erich figure is fantastic. I like the Tornado figure too, but I like WCCW Kerry more. The Kevin is awesome even if the hood on his jacket doesn't actually go on his head. I've seen that same Brian Pillman at my K-Mart for at least a year now.

I don't think I have ever seen the Pillman before. Distribution is a bitch!
Can't wait to get Kevin (and Brian!) opened up. They both look great.

I've seen that same Brian Pillman at my K-Mart for at least a year now. Switch, regarding the hood on the jacket. It's only held onto the back of the jacket by one stitch, easily cuttable with a small scissors or (in my case) an X-Acto knife. The resulting hood can go over Kevin's head. It's not a great fit (the material is not quite flexible enough to sit on top of his head and not peak up like a mitre), but if you want the hood up for a dio or something it's certainly doable. A nice bonus is that the hood still folds neatly back down, which is how I have it at the moment. This figure is awesome. Not the flashiest figure ever but it's Kevin Von Erich, he didn't wear flashy stuff. But the headsculpt really just sells the figure for me. Now if only Matty would give us a "Gentleman" Chris Adams... |

Saw Elites 12 Del Rio, Orton, and Gabriel at Target today. I love that Gabe comes with a Corre shirt. *eyeroll*
