00:00:39
Speaker
Play anything then.
00:00:46
Speaker
Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Premium Toyetic Event. In case you forgot, that is the show where Eric and I discuss, by the way, Eric's here this time, where Eric and I discuss the latest WWE or AEW or Impact or whomever, which is Premium Live Event, and discuss not who won the matches, not who lost the matches, not even who had the best matches.
00:01:14
Speaker
But which gear was best? Who should be the next figure? In this case, because we're talking WWE Backlash, which happened from Lyon, France, which I was just in Paris, which was like two hours away. So nowhere near there, but
00:01:32
Speaker
We're gonna talk about who should be the next figure from Mattel, whether it's, you know, a main event series, an Elite, an Ultimate, whatever the case may be, just who should be next.
Feature on WWE Backlash Figures
00:01:45
Speaker
And so, I'm gonna kick it off today, and I'm gonna kick it off with the opening match. And the opening match was a wild
00:01:58
Speaker
No Holds Barred, Street Fight rules match between Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and kind of the new bloodline of Solo Sokoa and in his first WWE match, Tomatanga. Now, Tomatanga missed out on a New Japan figure, but I think he's due a Mattel figure. Now, of course, he was in the familiar red and black of the bloodline, but
00:02:28
Speaker
What better way to get Tama into the Elite Line than to have a figure from his first match here at Backlash. So I'm going Tama Tonga with my first pick. Now my second pick, I'm going right into number two here.
00:02:47
Speaker
My second pick is from this same match. And of course, hey, you know what, let's get a main event line figure. Maybe we can make an elite out of it, but I have a feeling Tongoloa is going to have his own first match coming up. Of course, Gorillas of Destiny reunited in WWE in the bloodline.
00:03:13
Speaker
Let's get Tonga Loa a figure. Yeah, it could be a main event figure of Street closed Tonga Loa, but you know what? Maybe we can make an elite out of it too. Hey, let's get everybody in the bloodline out there. Let's get the new bloodline cooking in the figure realm. In the Mattel figure realm, let's go with it. Let's make that canon, figure realm.
00:03:43
Speaker
Why not, right? Or the Mattel figure realm. It's like Marvel Cinematic Universe, isn't it? So anyway, my first pick, my first two picks? Yeah, my first pick. Maybe I'll have two other ones here. My first pick is going to be from the first match. Tomatanga in his first WWE match and Tonga Loa
00:04:13
Speaker
in his debut form in street clothes. Coming in similarly to how Solo debuted at an overseas pay-per-view. Let's go with it. Premium live event. Pay-per-views aren't a thing anymore. I'm wearing the CM Punk shirt so I'm like remembering old words kind of like he did during the pre-show.
00:04:36
Speaker
That's my first pick. All right, so my first pick from WWE Backlash 2024 France is going to be, drumroll, Jade Cargill. So Jade and Bianca had an incredible match against the Kabuki Warriors. They picked up the tag titles. So what better way to introduce Jade to the Mattel WWE Elite
00:05:04
Speaker
line than with a figure rocking the attire that she won the tag titles with. So I loved the pink and gold, the redish pink and gold, the matching attire with Bianca, the short cropped hair,
00:05:22
Speaker
just absolutely iconic look for Jade and what a kind of coming out party, if you will, for Miss Cargill. So, absolutely awesome, awesome, awesome look on her. Very toyetic and I think the team would do a great job with it.
00:05:44
Speaker
Again great great introduction to to a wider WWE audience seeing her You know on a on a premium live event pick up the tag titles. So yep, that's my first pick. My first pick is Jade Cargill
00:06:03
Speaker
So I guess I kind of cheated for the first pick. I said it was kind of going into the second pick, but we'll call it my first pick. We'll call Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa my first pick. My second pick, pick number two. Two. Pick number two of the afternoon, evening,
00:06:26
Speaker
What's funny is I knew what time the show would be because I was just in France. So it was a six hour difference to New Jersey. I knew I'd be watching at one o'clock today.
Discussion on WWE Championship Figures
00:06:36
Speaker
I wouldn't have known the math had I not been there. So pick number two, going with the
00:06:47
Speaker
Going with the Women's, I guess Women's Championship, Women's, cuz the World Championship is on Raw, that's Becky. So we're going with the WWE Women's Championship, which is Bayley's belt. And hey, the champ, she had the blue and purple hair, she had the kind of bluish gear. Let's go with Bayley as my second pick.
00:07:15
Speaker
Hey, why not for the first title defense in the triple threat match against Naomi and Tiffany. Tiffany just got a figure.
00:07:25
Speaker
I think Naomi was one of our picks from the Rumble. I'm sure Naomi's return figure is coming. Let's go with another figure for the champ. It's been a while. Let's get Bailey into the line. If we're going Ultimate from WrestleMania, let's just keep it as an Elite for Backlash. So Bailey is my second pick.
00:07:46
Speaker
And a bonus pick for the special premium Toyota event episode. I'm going with the Dark Horse, somebody that has been a rock for WWE for a very, very long time and continuing maybe the trend that we're seeing with the build figures. I'm going with classic, iconic, legendary referee,
00:08:13
Speaker
Charles Robinson. So Charles Robinson, of course, uh, you know, present at this, at this event at backlash, present at most WWE events most recently, um, to, you know, it was the ref at the, the as Cody finished his story. So we already have a really great referee body, modern referee body. We've seen it on, um, you know, with John Cone, uh, as a build a figure in the, in this year's summer slam set. So let's keep the trend going. Let's sign some more referees. Let's reuse some of those parts in a smart way.
00:08:42
Speaker
and let's get, and let's get a little nature. Let's get, let's get, referee Charles Robinson into the line as a build a figure. Let's get more refs, make that figure of photography even better. All right, so it's time for the third pick of the evening. Pick number three. It's a bit of a cop out, but I liked the entrance jacket and you know,
00:09:10
Speaker
The American flag colors, same colors as the colors of the French flag. Loved the entrance jacket with the kind of title plate with the American Nightmare logo. I think I just gave it away. Cody Rhodes, my third pick, the red, white, and blue gear, universal for the United States, universal for France, because
00:09:34
Speaker
Both countries use red, white, and blue for their flags. And like I said, that entrance jacket with the kind of center plate with the American Nightmare logo with the Universal Champion kind of text below it, I thought that was really cool. Really cool like kind of golds.
00:09:54
Speaker
Uh, I guess gold trim would be the word. Yeah. Gold trim would be the word. Um, I mean, it was just cool looking gear. Cody's been doing like kind of more kind of dark blues for his gear and blues lately. So it was cool to see like white be the primary color. Um, let's go with Cody for pick number three. So that's going to be it for today.
