Finally ran into the Elite WCW Throwback Rey Mysterio for all you wrestling fans. Was super tempted to get this one, but without an Elite throwback "Lionheart" Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, or Ultimo Dragon for him to do battle with, I didn't see a point. If those figures eventually do end up coming out at some point in the future, I know I'm gonna regret passing on this one for sure.



I also ran into the new Superhero Mashers style Ninja Turtle line today. Aside from new ball joints on the shoulder and hip sockets to remove the limbs, these don't offer any other new points of articulation over the figures already available, so therefore, drew little interest from me. I would have grabbed TigerClaw and Shredder for sure if they at least would have added elbow and knee articulation.




I also ran into the re-issues of the movie figures in their newer packaging. I'm glad that Playmates decided to do this, so people who may have passed on them in the beginning can pick them up. While I'm not really sure if there is a difference in the figures themselves, I did notice that the ones in the newer packaging tend to have MUCH cleaner paint apps than the original figures.
