hellpop Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I thought that might be Punk on the floor that Santino is attacking? Maybe Sandow? If that's Punk, then they've REALLY got some likeness problems. I'm pretty sure that's Sandow. The one I can't figure out is the one that's right next to Cena. I think it's either Randy Orton or the Miz, but he's so generic looking it's hard to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm guessing Miz based on that Titantron shot. Miz in a match with Cena, Orton too out of favor to warrant a figure, and no Daniel Bryan at all! I wonder how long ago those prototypes were made !

hellpop Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Have to say, the more I see, the less I like. Some of those playsets are seriously goofy. John Cena's garage? Santino's cobra cage? Those little holes in the side of the figures legs are really weird as well. They are kind of like the hex holes in the Batman Brave and the Bold toys. Ah, whatever. They are clearly aimed entirely at kids, so I'm sure they will do fine. Since, you know, every kid dreams of being able to build his own WWE production truck!

youbastards Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Not at all interested in these, except for 2 things: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 What's Sandow's giant ray gun supposed to represent? Pretty insane that there is no Daniel Bryan, of all those figures being produced. Obviously this is due to a major lag of, what, 7-8 months since the prototypes were developed? But damn. Shows you how much things have changed in that time. The old school Undertaker actually doesn't look too bad, but I think it's because all the black disguises the hideous figure design.

MisterPL Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Oh, look. Ghost Rider's chopper. If only I knew of someone with modeling skills and a 3D printer to make a flaming base for it. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiz Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Was any release date announced? I will be picking up atleast the ring and possibly the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Anyone got a good idea on who is on that blue bike? I would be surprised if it is and the likeness are very vague on these figures but that looks like Goldberg's tribal tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 My first thought was Randy Orton, but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDM101 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah I'd say that's Orton looking at the tatts. I'm actually gonna be all over these(if they make it to the Uk) Yeah, some of the likeness are a bit, shall we say, off but I'm really digging them. I love the Dolph Ziggler haha.

MisterMiracle Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Wow, these things are basically Minimates. Makes me wish we had actual WWE Minimates! How can they blatantly rip off the Minimates design though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDM101 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'd love actual wwe minimates... But as it looks like that's never gonna happen and I don't have the cash to buy multiples for QCs I'll pick up most of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Wow, these things are basically Minimates. Makes me wish we had actual WWE Minimates! How can they blatantly rip off the Minimates design though? Palisades came dangerously close to knocking off the Minimates body style, so close that they ended up modifying it before it was released. The hands are significantly different enough but the rest of the body looks awfully familiar. Given AA's past partnership with Play Along, I'm thinking Bridge Direct's boat could be rocked if DST really wanted to. I wouldn't want the body style to become generic.

JeffBohn Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Someone found some sets at K-Mart today on the Wfigs boards... http://wfigs.proboards.com/thread/290601/wwe-stackdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 @DDM101: Those Shield customs are pretty nice! I was just thinking about trying to do them after watching the big main event with them and Punk and Bryan. Reigns and Rollins are really spot-on (though Seth still needs his two-tone hair), but Ambrose's likeness isn't quite as close. Still, I think I'll be copying those!

DDM101 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks buddy. Yeah ambrose was a bugger to do. I tried many many hairs for him. I opted for that one cos it almost flops in his eyes like it used to. I may revisit it down the line lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Ok, found Kofi, Santino, Sandow and Sin Cara at K-Mart today, $9.99 each. Sorry for the bad pictures, just wanted to get some quick ones done. The holes along their side (1 rib on each side, 1 ankle on each side) and back aren't as bad as I was expecting, they actually help posing for slams and moves. Feet are angled, so they need 3 building block stud spaces to stand. It does make them pretty sturdy though, all stand well without their stands. Sin Cara is the same size as Sandow, no real size difference between the 4 figures I got. Pretty close in size to Minimates. WWE arms and pelvis fit into Minimate body pretty well (arms are a little tight). Minimate arms are very loose on the WWE body, and Minimate pelvis barely fits into WWE body. Heads don't work at all. WWE neck ball is way bigger. Other notes.... -Sandow comes with extra flesh arms, so he can be disrobed -The belt comes with Kofi, I just gave it to Sandow -building sets are iffy in quality. A little soft, don't lock as well as a certain 'Major Brand' -surprised to see the C3 Construction logo back Edited November 16, 2013 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks buddy. Yeah ambrose was a bugger to do. I tried many many hairs for him. I opted for that one cos it almost flops in his eyes like it used to. I may revisit it down the line lol I spent a good ten minutes trying to come up with a better Ambrose formula and failing. His hair is really not like any 'mate hair I can think of; the closest is probably the one that came with Kraven and the first Dr. Strange (which is, incidentally, what I used for my MITB '11 CM Punk). As far as heads go, the new smirky head that comes with TRU Superior Spidey may work for him. @JeffBohn: thanks for the reviews and photos! For ten bucks, I will at least pick up the Kofi one to give one of my customs a championship belt (Jericho, I guess, since he's Mr. Intercontinental).

DDM101 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah... Thanks for the pics. I deffo want to try and get hold of these. Hopefully they will make it to the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Picked up the Undertaker entrance set at Toys R Us. Still odd they are going with the ABA Undertaker there, but gives us a minimate sized motorcycle. Sadly, it doesn't have chrome parts like it showed on the box, just grey. I'll get a picture up tonight showing motorcyle scale vs a minimate. ABA Undertaker could almost pass as Stone Cold after taking his hair off. edit - Found the Sheamus/Mysterio set on the way home also. Sheamus does not come with parts to display with his t-shirt off. Austin from Undertaker and Sandow parts.... And the bike... Edited November 20, 2013 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 That really is a nice Austin bash. But figures in general look like the love children of Minimates and Palz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBohn Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Picked up the ring the other day at TRU, used the 20% off coupon and $5 rewards toward it. Haven't put it together yet though. Miz comes with flesh arms in addition to the coat arms, Cena doesn't come with anything extra, he's stuck in his t-shirt. Thrilled we get a referee so early!
