I took noticed of Shelton Benjamin when he introduced as a member of 'World Greatest Tag-team' under the wings of Kurt Angle. As usual, Shelton Benjamin played the role of a villain for a start, like most other wrestlers. Shelton Benjamin later gained popularity with his agility and some really cool kicks like the 'Super Kick'. I didn't quite like the image of Shelton Benjamin as 'Gold Standard' with his hair dyed gold and wearing golden trunks, before he left WWE in 2010. This figure came together as a bundle with my other WWE figures like Rey Mysterio, John Cena & Shawn Michael. Well, they are really nice figurines thanks to Mattel's sharp sculpting. Now, I'm in search of another WWE figure, Rob Van Dam.
i had not said this before, but today i realized that is a bit weird that the WWF might have fans in Singapore (just the other side of the world !!!)... i guess is the mix of wrestling & entertainment... u know these figures have a lot of fans among children (much more than in the adult audience) although, incredibly Mattel (with direct representation here) doesn’t sell them, if u wanna get them u should buy from retail sellers... =)
ReplyDeleteWWF and later WWE, got their fans in Singapore through TV board-cast back in those days when we only had a single English channel. Then fans started renting VHS for 'pay per view' till the age of VCD & DVD. Ha! Ha! WWE live matches were in Singapore twice but I had missed it. Liking the characters in the WWE universe leads to getting the figures.
ReplyDeleteBro, this one looks good than the piece I bought. Mattel has not released Ron Van Dam yet. So, you gotta wait..Glad that you also collect some wrestling figures..We can share thought and opinion now..Haha!!
ReplyDeleteI remember you post on Shelton Benjamin figure previously. Thanx for the info on RVD figure. No wonder I only see Jakk version of RVD figure. Recently Channel 5 aired WWE Experience every Friday. I had tuned in faithfully.
