We've seen a list of the best now let's do one for the worst.
Series 1
Ultimate Warrior (his other 2 figures are so much better and I really hate jumpers but this one makes him look really small)
Series 2
Marty Jannetty
That Rocker Droper was the worst action of all time.
Series 3
Macho Man 3 I don't have this figure I don't remember ever seeing it in stores but how lazy was this?
Series 4
Hawk. Another jumper making someone look far too small
Series 5
Skinner, hated the action back then and still do
Series 6
El Matador
Just a blah looking figure all around
Series 7
Kamala, another figure ruined by a jump
Series 8
(my favorite series so this was tough)
Had to pick Bret...I'll blame the tan
Series 9
Ted Dibiase
Already had two figures of him and even though he is in ring gear no million dollar belt
Series 10
Samu hate jumpers and I like Fatu more
Series 11
Yokozuna (sure I want one, but it is just a lazy repaint)
What do you guys think?

I guess I should preface this by saying that I don't think many of the Hasbros were bad, and I definitely don't hate the jumpers. They were a ton of fun to play with as a kid, but they just don't look as good as the other figures. There were a lot of series where every figure is iconic and well-executed, but that mechanism just makes them the default "worst" to me.
"Worst Hasbro" is a lot like "least-talented Beatle," because even if it's the worst out of that group, it's still very, VERY good.
Series 1 - Beefcake (jumper)
Series 2 - Snuka (jumper)
Series 3 - Macho Man (too little difference from previous version)
Series 4 - Ricky Steamboat (jumper, molded head gear)
Series 5 - Hulk Hogan (too light skin tone, body choice doesn't fit Hogan)
Series 6 - Repo Man (jumper)
Series 7 - Kamala (jumper)
Series 8 - Lex Luger (this whole series was good, but this one impresses me the least)
Series 9 - Tatanka (straight re-release)
Series 10 - Tie: Samu/Fatu (jumpers)
Series 11 - Bart Gunn (both Smoking Gunns lose a lot of points for the awkwardly painted cowboy boots, but Bart's vest just makes the reused Razor mold too obvious)

I'll base most of my choices on inaccuracies such as a white skirt on Kamala when he wore tan.
Series 1: Ultimate Warrior with lime green workout belt. The lime green was a nice choice for tights since he just wore them at Summerslam and in the promotional photos for Survivor Series but no such green workout belt.
Series 2: Don't remember Duggan with black boots but my choice would be Dibiase in green since he wore that before the black suit which was released in opposite order.
Series 3: Macho is a re-release really but with re-painted Macho Man so it's a new figure. He hadn't worn the purple trunks in years and needed long tights like the mini Rumble toy.
Series 4: Dragon just because he had been gone from WWF and in WCW for a while and was still released yet Brutus in Mega Maniacs wasn't because he was no longer with WWF.
Series 5: Virgil-OK figure but he had been wearing the striped long pants for a while.
Series 6: Tatanka because he wasn't wearing the cloth that draped over his trunks. Berzerker had the awesome cloth outfit so why not Tatanka? Also Papa Shango with BLUE tattoos isn't right.
Series 7: Kamala b/c he wasn't wearing tan skirt and had the star on belly and not usual moon.
Series 8: I should say Undertaker which wasn't different aside from darker beard than the 1992 figure BUT Bigelow with BLUE and BLACK tattoos bothered me.
Series 9: I won't even count Tatanka because it's a re-release but Rick Steiner with less of a design than his actual outfit wasn't right.
Series 10: Both Bushwhackers with outfits they never wore. I'd rather see a grey top with re-released camo legs.
Series 11: Crush with half the side painted, a basically a purple repaint of the first one.
Hasbro did give a lot of variety though. They were a top notch company making wrestling figures.

Series 1: Million Dollar Man - figure was out of proportion with the others
Series 2: Hulk Hogan - the hulkster hug made it hard to play with i felt
Series 3: Sgt Slaughter - i wanted his hat to be able to come off
Series 4: L.O.D. - would of preferred them without spikes (or at least removable ones)
Series 5: Hulk Hogan - skinny, no muscle. Wasnt realistic
Series 6: El Matador - Would have preferred Tito Santana in white in an earlier series
Series 7: Kamala - i think he would have looked better bigger (maybe having earthquake/typhoons body)
Series 8: Undertaker - same as the earlier version apart from black beard and coat
Series 9: Doink - hair shouldn't have been made from a different material
Series 10: Bushwhackers - no thought went into this surely!!
Series 11: Yokozuna - identical to the other one but painted different

Series 6: El Matador - Would have preferred Tito Santana in white in an earlier series Series 10: Bushwhackers - no thought went into this surely!! I wonder if Tito in white was planned but scrapped in favor of El Matador. The card photo has a Strike Force outfit Tito picture. Hasbro had to have been just putting out what they could by the last few series' with the Tatanka rerelease and the Bushwhackers repaints in outfits they never wore. They would wear green tops and tan pants in 1995 but I doubt Hasbro was given advance notice to make those figures. |
