So I started collecting wrestling figures in 1994 when I was 7. I stopped collecting wrestling figures when I was 16 or 17 and I'm 23 now. That was a solid 10 years of collecting. I stopped because I started to really get into the UFC, which is my favorite sport. I have EVERY UFC to date and plan on getting every UFC figure that gets released (Although I wish Mattel made the UFC figures because Mattel's quality is amazing). Around November 2010 I asked my little brother what he wanted for Christmas and he told me he wanted some wrestling figures so I got him some. Once I got him a few I'm like wow these are way better than the Jakks ones I use to collect. So I'm like I'll get a Shawn Michaels (he's my favorite wrestler) and that was all I would get. I wanted the DX 2 pack and of course I seen it when I didn't want it, but as soon as I wanted it, I couldn't find it. I eventually found it. Once I got it I'm like maybe I'll get all of Mattel's HBK (which I have). Then it kind of spread to a some legends, the defining moments, some elites, and guys that I thought Mattel did a good job on. Now I am looking on here everyday to see when certain figures are hitting the stores. Just like when I was a kid. I figured I share my story with fellow figure collectors. Also a funny note, my friend always says d-bags wear Affliction clothes (which I do) but he couldn't classify me as a d-bag and couldn't figure out why.... he eventually figured it out... because I still collect figures (he collects DC figures) . Sorry for the long story. MY 100th POST! ;D
