Figure Friday: WWE Network Spotlight Elite Bayley
Hey guys, Matt Goldberg here bringing you an all-new installment of Figure Friday!
Thank you to all who tuned in to Figure Friday last week and Figure 2 Photo earlier this week, I appreciate it! You can keep up with me on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter if you’re interested in keeping up with my wrestling figure photography and videography!
This week I bring you an in-depth look at the brand new Mattel WWE Network Spotlight Elite Bayley figure, only available at Toys R Us. She literally just started hitting shelves in the past week or so, so if you’re looking for her be sure to check your local Toys R Us, she’s not online yet, before she sells out! I have a feeling she’ll be one of the best selling figures from this series.
Looking at her in the packaging you can see she has the typical 2016 Elite style packaging, but a WWE Network color scheme with the black, red and white. This color scheme is kind of a throwback to the very first Elites released in 2010, which may be a subconscious reason why I like it. You can see the Network Spotlight logo on the front, her photo and name on the sides as well as a cool fun fact on the back talking about an episode of Breaking Ground where they scanned her for this figure, which to me is pretty cool of Mattel to acknowledge.
When you remove Bayley from the packaging be patient as Mattel is now using little price tag fasteners around her wrists to keep her from falling out of the bubble. It’s a little bit of a pain to remove. If you pull her out of the box quick enough you should be able to break them but if you choose to cut them be cautious you don’t cut the figure or the tassels hanging from her arms.
Looking at her up close I have to say it’s her best figure to date. Usually Mattel goes all out on the Elite women figures even though their Basics are also Elite, just less detail. Little fun fact if you didn’t know that. I’m not a fan of screaming/yelling head scans either, but this one looks much more like her than her Basic that came out in Basic 58.
