WWE Legends 6 Ultimate Warrior

Added the Mattel WWE Legends series 6 Ultimate Warrior figure to the WWE section.  This figure is from Wrestlemania 6 when the Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWF Championship for the first time.  This is probably my favorite version of the Ultimate Warrior that Mattel has released so far, probably because I watched his match more time than I could ever count as a kid.  The figure comes with the classic winged eagle belt with the yellow strap that the Warrior wore after he won the belt.

Transformers Masterpiece Red Alert MP-14

Transformers Masterpiece Red Alert MP-14 has been added to the Transformers page.  This is my first Takara Masterpiece figure since MP-1 Optimus Prime and it will not be my last.  I love this figure, his transformation is fun and complicated, but not overly complicated.  His articulation and look in both alt mode and robot mode are excellent and the packaging is simply amazing.  Hasbro is so far behind Takara in the packaging department its ridiculous.  Red Alert comes with his gun, shoulder mounted rocket launcher, and electric effects for his head to recreate the episode where he gets damaged and thinks the Autobots are against him.  He also comes with a stat card and beautiful instructions that I can't read, another area where Takara blows Hasbro out of the water.  These Takara Masterpiece figures are amazing and I can't wait to get more!

Macho Madness Opens the WWE Page!

I'm opening up my WWE section with one of my favorite figures I have so far, the Ringside Collectibles exclusive Macho Madness Randy Savage.  I loved the nWo and this figure is a beautiful representation of Savage from his days in the nWo.  He comes with all the accessories to recreate his entrance and the paint on them is top notch.  He comes with his shirt, glasses, bandanna, and weight belt.

Vacation Find!

On my way to Disney World for vacation and we stopped off in Valdosta Georgia to eat lunch and stopped by Walmart. Of course I ran through the toys and before I could even spot him, my wife pointed out the Honky Tonk Man hanging right there on the pegs!  A completely unexpected find and a great way to kick off the vacation. 

Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus Prime Added

What better to way to open up the new Transformers section with the greatest Transformer of them all, the great Optimus Prime!

The MP-10 mold of Optimus Prime is without a doubt my favorite mold of this character ever.  I have the original Takara MP-1 version also and to me this figure blows him away in every way.  The MP-1 is still an amazing figure, but this figure is hands down the best version ever.  He comes with his trailer, Roller, energon ax, blaster, matrix, and a Spike figure that fits in Prime himself or Roller, or even the 3 different seats in his trailer.  I chose the Hasbro version for one simple reason, the eyes.  I absolutely love the light blue eyes on the Hasbro version, to me the Takara version's eyes look like there's no life to them.  It looks like a dead or sleeping version when compared to the Hasbro eyes.

Classics Mosquitor Added

Mosquitor is part of The Horde Empire and is one of the oddest, yet at the same time coolest figures in the Classics line.  I absolutely love his wild over the top look, from his insane head to his "blood" filled chest and even those cool clunky boots.  This figure is a must have for any collection and he fits in perfectly with his Horde brothers.

Classics Ram Man, Fang Man, and Cy-Chop Added

Finally we got our Ram Man and I have to say he was well worth the wait.  This guy is big and undeniably awesome!  The sculpt here is awesome and this is definitely the most articulated version of Ram Man ever.  I do wish they would have put a slit in his "skirt" that comes down over his legs to allow for deeper poses, but everything else works like a charm.  The extra head looks awesome and almost makes me wish I had picked up an extra to display both versions.

Fang Man is the first Filmation figure that has been released in the Classics line and hopefully is a sign of things to come from the new Filmation sub line.  This guy looks amazing, another example of the price increase at work here.  The paint apps are great and the added details all over the figure really make him pop.  It's hard to believe that this figure is made on the standard MOTUC buck, the new neck piece makes this look like a completely new upper torso.  I love this figure and I only hope that the rest of the Filmation figures are as great as Fang Man.

Cy-Chop is one of the new figures created for the 30th Anniversary of the MOTU brand.  He's not the worst new figure created, but he's not the best either.  I like the idea and most of the figure I actually like, but I just can't get over how ridiculously huge his choppers are.  I know that's the whole idea, but it's just too over the top for me.  If the choppers were a little smaller and he had included regular hands as well I would like this guy a lot more.  I really like the blue hair and the clear chest with the organs, but the hug choppers and kind of blah head sculpt ruin the figure for me.
