Mini Review #1 - The Rest of DTA Tour Series 2

So, since I reviewed the Blue Blazer figure from the DTA Tour Series 2 set in a previous post, I thought I would get the others out of the way and make a miniature review out of it.

Essentially, this mini review skips all of the background and excess details and summarizes everything I would normally say.

Here goes nothing (almost literally!)...

Al Snow - 13.5/25

While I'm not that fond of the bleach blonde hair or inaccurate singlet top/arms with elbow pads, I love the text written on Snow's forehead, for one. Also, I applaud Jakks for creating Head, one of the best accessories produced by Jakks in the last 13 years. The trashcan and lid that were included contribute to a bulk of the score in the accessories department, but the figure itself is hardly worth mentioning (Head - 2.5, Torso - 2, Arms - 2, Legs - 2.5, Other - 4.5).

Steve Blackman - 17.5/25

A fairly good head sculpt and torso are used for "The Lethal Weapon", but the arms could do without the elbow pads. I absolutely love the detail of the boots covered by the pant legs, and a half-painted ladder is better than nothing. It is a very good representation of Blackman, for the most part (Head - 3.5, Torso - 3.5, Arms - 3, Legs - 4.5, Other - 3).


Edge - 13/25

I don't mind the head sculpt too much, but everything else is way too thick for Edge or just flat-out inaccurate. Everything above the waist needs to be less bulky, and the part choices for the legs (and for most of Edge's BCA figures) are wrong. There are some designs on the sides of his tights, but not nearly as many as he actually wore. It is a very disappointing figure from top-to-bottom, but it does come with a brown crate and silver chair for accessories (Head - 3, Torso - 2.5, Arms - 2, Legs - 2, Other - 3.5).


Undertaker - 21/25

Truly, this is one of the best overall figures that Jakks produced during the BCA era. It doesn't even matter that this mold for 'Taker was re-released so many times, because it is excellent. My only gripe is that the designs on the torso and legs are not to scale, but the sculpts of the head and arms are phenomenal. Not to mention, it comes with three different weapons, too(Head - 4, Torso - 4, Arms - 4.5, Legs - 4, Other - 4.5).

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett - 10/25

Don't make him mad, or else he'll turn into a terrible figure! ...Oh wait. The head sculpt is decent at best and everything else is pure garbage. There is very little detail on his trunks, and the accessories are the saving grace from this receiving a horrible score. Terrible, garbage, and horrible? I didn't know we were talking about Jeff Jarrett! But, seriously, avoid this at all costs (Head - 2, Torso - 1.5, Arms - 1.5, Legs - 1.5, Other - 3.5).

That's it for now, but thanks for looking and have a nice day!
