Here's my advice on three figures to either BUY, CONSIDER or AVOID.
BUY: DTA Tour Series 2 Steve Blackman
This figure was included in the first mini review I did back in 2009, and as you can see it finished just second to Undertaker's excellent re-release in the series.
If playability is a major deciding factor in the figures you buy, there is no better BCA Blackman figure than this one-and-only retooled repaint.
His debut Superstars Series 6 figure strikes a MEAN pose, but nothing quite compares to this one actually being able to move his arms and legs in any given match.
CONSIDER: Grudge Match Series Vader vs. Mark Henry 2-Pack
It was the topic of this past week's "Do You Know It All?" sidebar and it almost never was (at least not for Henry, whose spot was originally scheduled for Goldust).
If you're in need of the Vader repaint from DTA Tour Series 1 or you missed out on Henry from his initial Superstars Series 6 release, take a second glance at this pack of behemoths.
I'm sure some people would like to forget the feud these two had midway through 1998, but the rest of you who want to relive it can ONLY by purchasing this set.
AVOID: Shotgun Saturday Night Series 1 Savio Vega
Somewhere there is a lone Los Boricuas fan who cries him or herself to sleep each night knowing that the greatest Hispanic heel stable of late 90s WWF (umm...) never got the respect it so deserved.
Right? Well, don't give up hope just yet as there was a repaint made by Jakks of the group's leader, Savio Vega, in what could be considered a quarter-assed (not even half-assed) attempt at his Los Boricuas attire.
The catch? It's still Savio Vega and the figure still sucks.
I don't suspect Los Boricuas' remaining fan would ever dream that the group's legacy in figure form is that of a short, stiff man in awful threads, but...hey, that sounds about right!
Take it from me, I know my BCAs and so will you.
Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!
