Advent Calendar 20: Eddie Guerrero's car comes with Rey Mysterio?


I
t's a bit weird that Mattel makes a Lowrider and puts Rey Mysterio on it when the lowrider guy was

I guess that Eddie Guerrero being dead might be the reason. But he's gotten a few figures released way after his death. 

This is the lucha lowrider. Seems that Mattel is moving away from the wrekkin action features... Now they're doing normal vehicles...
We need a Limo and Kurt Angle's Milk truck. 


First let's take care of Rey Mysterio, el vato cabrĂ³n de San Diego. He's a basic figure... but with decent hip articulation. He can do the splits. In fact, he has Orogons level of arti culation except at the ankles, where the shoes are 1 piece. He comes with 3 accessories:
Necklace
Crutch too tall for him
Wooden bat painted silver.
His overall score is 4.17 so let's do the car.

*sigh* where to begin.
Mattel cut corners making the vehicle not as practical.

Lack of paint apps is not the issue. Look at those cheap ass seats... also notice the back seats being literally on the floor with no room for any passenger.
Nick: So whaddya think? Old Man bought one of Eddie Guerrero's card from Rey Mysterio.
Alicia: No one cares about big sweaty men groping each other in a huge ass mattress. 
Barbara: WAIT! DID YOU MEET REY?
Ashley. No, we didn't see him without his mask... Dingus! Show em what this baby can do.
Nick: Play some funky music, Ash!

Not even Wonder Alice fit in that backseat, much less an actual wrestler... or Roclsteady and Bebop... in fact it barely fits 2 Foot Soldiers...

I won't lie and pretend I didn't get this to become a Foot Cruiser. Like the failed Foot Tenderizer... So, this might become something else.
I know this is a WWE vehicle and not a TMNTU vehicle, but if I wanna have Rikishi, Yokozuna, Rosie, and Jamal riding, I should be able to. I could barely fit El Torito and Hornswoggle in the back.

My vehicle has an issue. The back left "hydraulic" doesn't want to stay in and I have to try multiple times until the hook hooks the leg. The spring loaded action features (hydraulics, trunk flinging) are on hair triggers. 
It's good for play features, but for display features is a pain. 

Ashley: Lucia we better get in scissor position because... whoa!
Alicia: Niiiiiiiiiiiiiick you asshole!
Barbara: Wooo!
Nick: I'm gonna call this car, the titty...
Barbara: Let me guess, because it bounces?
Nick: No... yeah...
Alicia: Fine! All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!

Personally, I feel the car should've been a smidgen wider. The car is slightly wider than the ATV.
Barbara: You heard Little Smoke, Nick!
Nick: Licia, Ash, how's the bounce on the back???
Alicia: Kyaaaa!
Ashley: Don't you dare stop, I'm this close!
Nick: That answers that.
 Barbara: I wanna sit in the backseat! Don't you dare, Ashley!
Ashley: Too late!
Nick: Its Friday! Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!


I also would wish there were more paint applications. To make it look less cheap. It's not bad, but it could've been better. We need a Limo. Or Kurt Angle's Milk truck...
