Introduction to Adventures in Collecting
00:00:02
Speaker
Are you ready, kids? Get your parents' permission, check your mailbox, and grab your shopping cart. It's time for the Adventures in Collecting podcast. I'm Eric. And I'm Dave. Welcome to Adventures in Collecting, where we talk toy news, culture, and halls, along with our journeys as collectors.
00:00:35
Speaker
And then...
WrestleMania Toy Gear Focus
00:00:42
Speaker
Hello again, everybody, and welcome to Premium Toyetic Event. I am Dave, and it is later in the week, as promised, so that must mean it is time to take a look back at the second night of the Premium Live Event, WrestleMania, the biggest WrestleMania of all time, and I think we can confirm that that's the case now. So we're gonna look back at WrestleMania Sunday, not who won the match, not who lost the match, not even if it was a good or bad match,
00:01:11
Speaker
but whose gear looked the best and should be made into a toy. So of course we're gonna be looking at what we think, or what I think, Eric was still on vacation for WrestleMania, and that didn't change. So we're gonna look back at, or I'm gonna look back.
00:01:28
Speaker
WrestleMania Sunday and take a look at what I think should be the next either Elite or Ultimate or Ringside exclusive or whatever the case may be for four matches on the WrestleMania Sunday card and we are going to start with the opening match of the show or at least of the Sunday show and that is
00:01:51
Speaker
the WWE World Championship between Seth Rollins, Seth Freakin Rollins, and Drew McIntyre. And Seth, in a very It's a Philly Thing thing, since that's the saying down in Philly, in a very It's a Philly Thing thing, came out with the Momers.
00:02:13
Speaker
and the Mummer's Parade, very big thing in Philly. Seth came out dressed up as a mummer with the big kind of blue and white hat and the long flowing blue and white I guess jacket cape cloak scenario. They did a little mini Mummer's Parade around the ring and Seth
00:02:34
Speaker
I mean, Seth hit a home run with that gear. So we're gonna look at Seth Rollins, Seth freaking Rollins in the blue and white mummers gear as pick number one. I guess this would have to be an ultimate because of all the deco. Yeah, yeah, it would be an ultimate because of all the deco. So that's the first pick. Now an honorable mention for this match was that Damian Priest came out and cashed in.
00:03:00
Speaker
Cashed in no longer Senor money in the bank. He is now Senor world champion because after Drew beats Seth
00:03:08
Speaker
Damien Priest cashed in. Damien Priest had really cool black, red, and purple gear. The kind of black, red, and purple was a really good theme, running theme for the Judgment Day all weekend. Not just black and purple, like usual, but there were red touches thrown in. It felt a little bit cane-like to me, to be honest. I don't know if that was Damien Priest's inspiration, but that's kind of what it looked like.
00:03:35
Speaker
But definitely, if we're looking honorable mention, Damien Priest gets that honorable mention.
Humor in Wrestling: New Elite Figures?
00:03:41
Speaker
Match number two that we are going to look at is the United States Championship match. The three-way between Logan Paul, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. Now Logan Paul came out in the prime truck, and that's really cool, but there's nothing cooler than Kevin Owens and Randy Orton making fun of him by coming out in a golf cart with a KO sticker on it.
00:04:07
Speaker
So we have Kevin Owens, of course, every year that he's in WrestleMania. We have a new KO mania shirt. This year was no exception. So we've got the KO mania shirt, which is definitely Toyatic, definitely should be on an Elite. And then, you know, since Randy Orton's comeback, we have a comeback Randy Orton. So we'll get a new Elite for Randy too. I think that's cool. We could also get a Reckon golf cart, I think.
00:04:33
Speaker
I think we can get that wrecking golf cart, right? So that way they could drive out in it. KO can be behind the wheel. Randy Orton can be standing on the back. Everybody's pointing and laughing at Logan Paul, even though he got the last laugh and won the match. But the winners of the match as far as who should be a figure,
00:04:52
Speaker
Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. So they are my picks, kind of a double pick, but hey we're going for it. They are my second match pick for WrestleMania Sunday. My third pick is going to be for the Women's Universal Championship match.
00:05:12
Speaker
Bailey versus EO Sky. Bailey came out with like Pharaoh wings and like it was really cool, really cool like Egyptian themed entrance. There were pyramids on the trons and she had really cool blue and gold gear, was carried out, had the jacket with the wings like we were talking about and
00:05:38
Speaker
as said by, I think it was Michael Cole and Corey Graves on commentary, that the gear was inspired by a park and a museum, an Egyptian park and museum in Bailey's hometown of San Jose.
00:05:55
Speaker
if I remember correctly. If I have that wrong, let me know in the comments. But I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly, that was the theming of it. And it was awesome. It was really cool gear for Bailey, a very different look for her, as opposed to like the suspenders and the kind of cargo pant look that we're used to. Still very Bailey, but still very cool. And I mean, we've got to get Bailey and Ultimate at some point, right?
00:06:22
Speaker
I think this is going to be the perfect case for her to get that ultimate and have that big WrestleMania moment represented in a figure. So Bayley is my third pick for WrestleMania Sunday.
Cody Rhodes: Iconic Gear and Wins
00:06:36
Speaker
Last but certainly not least, I think we would need like an 11 to 15 pack to fully represent
00:06:44
Speaker
the just sheer insanity that was the main event of the evening. The story was finished. Cody was able to finish the story and win the undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns finally after a year.
00:07:04
Speaker
just building back up and winning the Royal Rumble for a second time. Main eventing WrestleMania for the second straight time. Cody finished the story. Now there were a lot of appearances in this match and that's what I'm saying, like an 11 to 15 pack. I don't think one single figure could represent the awesomeness that was like the video game action movie feel of this match. And I loved every second of it. I was on the edge of my seat. I loved WrestleMania this year.
00:07:33
Speaker
And I especially loved this main event match for night two. But Cody had the skull mask.
00:07:40
Speaker
the entrance. We had Brandy out with him so we might be able to get a Brandy figure too. We could get that, right? Like a defining moments two-pack for Cody and Brandy. Cody had some extra like almost like scaling or feathering on the shoulder pads of the jack entrance jacket. I mean it was a standard red white and blue but I feel like there's no bigger defining moment for Cody
00:08:04
Speaker
then finishing the story and winning the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. Being able to hand the belt to his mom after the match was over, everybody celebrating in the ring with him, all the speeches and all everything. Like just what a great main event, what a great close to WrestleMania. So Cody Rhodes and Brandi, we're gonna put Brandi in there too. But that is my fourth and final pick
00:08:35
Speaker
for WrestleMania Sunday.
