Vince Russo Watches His Beard Grow » Superstars http://www.vincerussowatcheshisbeardgrow.com Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:22:56 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Uh, Mattel? You missed something… http://www.vincerussowatcheshisbeardgrow.com/2010/01/16/uh-mattel-you-missed-something/ http://www.vincerussowatcheshisbeardgrow.com/2010/01/16/uh-mattel-you-missed-something/#comments Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:52:03 +0000 ThinkSoJoE http://www.vincerussowatcheshisbeardgrow.com/?p=142 So I hit up Target this morning with one thing on my mind – “I want the Mattel Elite series 1 CM Punk figure.”  Ok, that and I needed batteries for my camera before I head out to tonight’s Empire State Wrestling show.  In any event, I got my figure.  I wanted it because it has virtually the same articulation as the Jakks Deluxe Aggression figures, but with way more attention to detail.  I’ll tell you, this figure looks phenomenal.  Now, I know what you’re probably thinking.  “Oh, he’s going to complain because the Pepsi and Cobra logos and the word ‘SPITFIRE’ are missing.”  Well, you’re thinking wrong.  Those are understandable omissions on an otherwise flawless figure.  No, it’s not my new CM Punk figure that I’ve taken issue with – it’s the FlexForce figures that come with tons of accessories.  You see, they had CM Punk and The Undertaker in that series with a glaring omission from each.  The following is a picture of the CM Punk FlexForce figure.

Look ma!  No tattoos!  None.  This is a CM Punk action figure that costs over $10, and there are no tattoos at all.  I didn’t snap a picture of The Undertaker figure from this same series, but it’s also lacking arm ink.  Interestingly enough, the ForceFlex series that didn’t come with any accessories had sketches of their tattoos – not nearly as detailed as the Elite series figures, but at least on par with what Jakks had given us over the years.

The Elite series figures are awesomely detailed, and I definitely plan on trying to pick up the Edge and Undertaker figures when I have the extra cash.  I definitely won’t be earmarking any money towards inked Superstars in the FlexForce series anytime soon.

The priest, B. Bunny, said that the wedding could be summed up in two words. Simply Priceless. However the vowels Cody Rhodes had written for the love of his life, were long and boring, much like any promo he cuts inside a WWE ring. Father Bunny also went on to mention how DiBiase will carry the relationship and he will have to do all the work and earn the big bucks, as he is the only one of the two with any ability. Father Bunny also noticed that Rhodes had either just recently went through puberty, or he has been ‘eating his spinach’ so to speak. The two are reportedly happy together, but will still be Randy Orton’s bitches.
