Mattel Basic 33 Tamina Snuka

  Today I stopped into Toys R Us and happened to find one of my biggest Mattel wants, Basic series 33 Tamina Snuka, I finally am caught up on the Mattel WWE Diva collection.  So Let's get to the Basic 33 Tamina Snuka.
  Tamina Snuka is one of Mattel's best Diva figures that came out in 2013. Tamina is has different boots than most divas because she has plates on the front of her boots. Also Tamina's headscan is pretty accurate. Her hair sculpt is excellent. Her attire is based on what she wore in 2012 In addition her figure's attire is shiny just like the one pictured to your right.

 Also Tamina is packed one per case since she is a diva figure.

Mattel Shield 3 Pack

  Kmart is WWE Fan Central, that means they get exclusive figures and playsets. Some of those exclusive figures are 3 packs. 99.9% of the time the 3 packs don't make any sense whatsoever since some have three random figures picked out for it, such as John Cena Big Show and,  Sheamus, you get the drift. Anyway Mattel made one for Kmart that finally made sense, it''s The Shield, consisting of, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose.
  The Kmart exclusive Shield 3 pack is a great alternate to buying Battle Packs 24 Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns and B33 Dean Ambrose in stores since Mattel's distribution isn't the best in the world. The Shield 3 pack is essentially the same figures as the Battle Pack and B33 figures are, so they are technically First Time in The Line figures but they are straight up repaints being their "Second Release".
  Their tactical vests aren't removable at all. So if you are thinking of making an attitude era Big Bossman from one of the Shield members, you will be disappointed since none of them have the same body type as the E14 Big Bossman. All of the Shield's members headscans are dead on accurate to their real life counterparts. I think Dean Ambrose has been done perfectly. His hair mold is absolutely perfect. Seth Rollins scan looks just like him. And Roman Reigns scan is a perfect rendition of him. Also Each of their vests have different molds. I highly recommend this 3pack.

Mattel Best of 2013 Kaitlyn

  Today I finally got  my Mattel Best of 2013 Kaitlyn figure from another wfigs.proboards.com member for $15. It wasn't a bad price considering how Kaitlyn is really hard to find. Kaitlyn isn't a bad figure, her headscan isn't too bad since her figure's likeness is pretty accurate. A lot of collectors seem to complain about her arms being too skinny compared to Kaitlyn in real life being muscular. Anyway. her figure has a few flaws such as tending to have a loose head.
  You have to be careful with Kaitlyn since she has a loose head. She is also pretty hard to stand up for some reason. She can tip over if you are not careful with her. Overall Kaitlyn is pretty solid for her First Time in The Line figure. Kaitlyn is also the first Diva to have a Best of 20xx figure and is also the first Best Of 20xx figure to have a first time in the line sticker on it.

Useless Fact of the day Number 3: Gene Snitsky

Gene Snitsky Punting Babies since 2004

  Ok, it looks like I am on a roll with the useless fact of the day posts since I haven't bought any new WWE figures in a while. So I guess I am on a two day streak of writing useless WWE facts. So here is today's useless fact of the day.
  Gene Snitsky is the only person from Northeast Pennsylvania to wrestle in WWE. He was the only Superstar to punt a baby.

Useless Fact of the day number 2: Pat Patterson's Evening Gown

  Since I haven't bought any new figures today I thought I would continue with the Useless Fact of the day. Today's fact is a WWE fact. At the King of The Ring pay per view in 2000, the Corporate stooges, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco had a match for the WWF Hardcore Championship, however the match was an Evening gown match. That means it was a bra and panties match. Anyway long story short, Pat Patterson's evening gown still had the price tag on it. Jerry The King Lawler pointed that out in the commentary. 

You can see the tag just slightly below Pat Patterson's left arm

  Now here is the kicker, why would Pat Patterson keep the tag on his evening gown? Did he plan on returning it if he defeated Gerald Brisco? However since Crash Holly came out of nowhere with a referee and trash can, he stripped both Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco to their bra and panties, thus destroying Patterson's evening gown. So Pat Patterson couldn't have returned it to the store. Anyway Crash Holly defeated Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco, by pinfall and winning the WWF Hardcore Championship thanks to the 24/7 rule.
  On a side note, this wasn't the first Hardcore Evening Gown match in WWE History, even though Vince McMahon told Patterson and Brisco that they will be in the first ever hardcore evening gown match. Back on Monday Night RAW on July 12th 1999, Droz battled Al Snow in an evening gown match, that fell under hardcore rules.

Useless Fact of the Day Number 1: Freightliner Keys

  Today I thought I would start a new thing on my blog that will pop up periodically. I'm starting a useless fact of the day. It won't be a daily thing, maybe once a week or twice since my blog is mostly about Toy Reviews now. So let's start off the Useless Fact of the Day.

The Rubberhead Is a Freightliner Grille

  The rubberheads on the OEM Freightliner keys symbolizes the Freightliner grille.  So If you are a trucker who drives a Freightliner you probably wondered why your Freightliner key doesn't say Freightliner.

The Resemblance is shocking

  To the right is a picture of a Freightliner grille for comparison.

Once you see it, you won't unsee it.

Mattel Paul Heyman Build a Figure

  Today I finally received the final parts to complete the Toys R Us exclusive BoPPV Paul Heyman build a figure. I bought the head and jacket from another wfigs.proboards.com member for $15. They finally arrived today. I also got the legs and arms from another member in exchange for a B13 Vickie Guerrero. All I had to do is buy 1 figure in the store this time, and that was John Cena for the torso piece.
  Now onto the Paul Heyman build a figure. Paul's torso is much wider than John Laurinaitis' Michael Cole, Teddy Long's and Ricardo Rodriguez's torsos are. This is because Paul Heyman is huskier than the others that I mentioned in real life.  His headscan is excellent. It's dead on accurate to the real Paul Heyman. Anyway he will be getting a basic in Battle Pack Series 25 with Brock Lesnar. The BP Paul's headscan is just terrible from the prototype pictures.
   I guess I am now officially a Paul Heyman Guy.
