I've always liked Tyson but I've gotten more into his career recently. That first figure is going for a hefty penny nowadays. I'm unaware if they fixed anything with the later versions.

I still remember growing up in the 90s and his PPV's were so fucking huge. Truly the last heavyweight anyone truly gave a shit about.

Tyson was a force of nature in the ring. He was an absolute beast that was genuinely terrifying to his opponents. I wish he’d kept his head straight later on in his career. He only lost to Douglas because he was distracted by all the bullshit in his life, and he just spiraled downward from there.

I don't think he raped Washington either. He HATES her whenever confronted with it in interviews. You're telling me this chick unwillingly went up to the hotel room with at the time the greatest fighter on the planet? Please.

Overconfidence and his yes men surrounding him made him lose that fight for sure. It's a travesty he lost those years in the ring. He had unlimited potential.

I love that he completely turned his life around. He seems so much happier. He hates seeing himself back then. I was watching an interview on Arsenio with him, Sugar Ray Leonard and Ali and Mike looks at Ali with such awe.

It’s been out a month or so. Looks good in hand here. The film wasn’t bad either if you haven’t seen it yet.

It's a better Manga adaption from all the ones I've seen. I just hate how the story was crammed all into one film. It should of been a trilogy.

I was surprised when I heard they had so much in the film. I don’t know why they felt like they had to do it that way.

It doesn't end the way the manga does either. They designed it to just be a one and done film with no possible continuation, so even if it did well, they wouldn't even be able to follow the old plot.

That’s crazy. Seems like they’d want to make a couple to get more money.

HEad sculpts are horrific at best. The smiling head gets close but the overall shape is bad. Admittedly, I'd buy it for the clothing alone. Fingers crossed this doesnt mas the 150 dollar mark.

:LOL: The smiling face is barely serviceable but I can see the likeness. The other head sculpt is a dumpster fire. I do like the clothing set, but I really wish they'd included a Superman shirt.

What were they even thinking with that surprised look? He hasn't made that face the entire series. :ROFLMAO:

That's probably his coitus face.

I just ordered the Undisputed version of Tyson for $215 shipped from someone at the other place, so I just saved nearly $100 from just about everywhere else. I want to grab that Olympic version too since it looks real snazzy. The youngest champ Tyson I may pass on since it's rarer and the price has really gone up. And the Undisputed version is like a 2.0 anyway.

The tattoo 1/12 Tyson is apparently the last of that line for him unfortunately. I don't really care for it as it doesn't look like him much. I think the 1/6 is better but it's not amazing. They need better paint. His fade is overly sharp too.

I might get that 1/12 Undisputed version down the line. I'd like to have at least one Tyson squared up without fear of destroying the arms.

I was thinking about getting the 1/12 figures for the same reason, but I think I’ll stick my 1/6. I really only need one Tyson figure anyway.

That seller was able to ship it today so it’s coming Saturday. Cannot wait. I’ll have him with all the titles on my shelf.
