As I mentioned in another thread, Bobby Heenan's single release in series 6 is the figure that started my collection/ addiction. What was yours?

CS 1 Ultimate Warrior.. I was not a figure collector but as an Ultimate Warrior fan as a kid I just had to have it.
I then didn't start collecting CS till like Series 4. The more I saw these things roll out the more I was like man, how awesome! now I have probably 600+ RAs ADs and CSs. and I am still going...

The more I saw these things roll out the more I was like man, how awesome! now I have probably 600+ RAs ADs and CSs. and I am still going... Very similar to my start of CS collecting! I hadn't been a collector until I finished my Hasbro collection. I collected some BCA figures but eventually faded away from the toy scene. But then I saw CS 1 Warrior proto pictures, I HAD to have it. But I wait a bit and eventually I saw CS 2 and CS 3 roll though. Thus my first CS figures were CS 1 Warrior, CS 2 Ric Flair, & CS 3 Ted DiBiase as they were all purchased from RSC in what would eventually become A LOT of CS orders! |

I Pre-Orderes Classic Series 1 from Ringside, so I originally received the entire 1st series.
My first EVER figure was Hasbro Hulk Hogan from the Purple Card Series (I Think). My parents gave it to me for xmas, but the 1st figure that I ever purchased for myself was Series 1 BCA Shawn Michaels and received the rest of the series 1 for x-mas that same year....man the memories!

Before buying that Heenan figure, my last Wrestling figure purchase was when I spent my allowance on Hasbro's in like 92. I had seen the BCA figures and thought they were crappy looking, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw RA figures at a TRU while shopping for a gift at a kids party. I think the first RA I saw was the Benoit toothless aggression figure.

Classic 3 DiBiase and Warrior maybe? I think he was in the same series...Its been down hill from there. Ive probably spent a 3rd world country on wrestling figures.

I was alittle late to the game. The first CS figure I owned was CS 5 Brutus Beefcake. I just happened to stumble down the toy section of a store, don't even remember which one, I look down and see it. I thought, that it was strange to see a "classic" guy like Beefcake being made. I read the box and seen all the figures and started collecting them.

CS 1 Warrior, that WM6 attire n face paint is classic. Didn't become a serious CS collector, just got a few here n there; Funk, Shango, still prefer DA/CSDA figs

I collected a little when I was a little kid. The usual gift from a parent every now and then. However, The figure that started all of my "collecting" was CS 2 Ric Flair. I remembered my dad telling me stories about the great Nature Boy. How he was the greatest of all time. I couldn't pass it up.

The first CS superstar I bought was Triple H and Bret Hart at the same time. Then I waited a while to get the rest. I had all of series 2, and had to buy up all of series 1.
I counted today actually. From the 1-28 series... I am missing 18 figures... including all of series 28.
I loved the CS series. I think I need to sell it off thought..........

I can't really remember, it was either CS1 Warrior and Bret (I ordered both at the same time) or CS1 Triple H.

To be honest, I don't have a clue anymore.
I think that it could be the complete series 1, but again, I am not sure. I was never able to buy any Classic Superstars figures myself in a store or such (well, I did end up finding series 17 in a German TRU back then), so I basically had to get everything online.

Cs1 ulimate warrior from woolworths happy days I remember seeing all these in Woolworthes around 2005 maybe but I'd just bought my first place so money was tight and I thought my collecting days were over. Big mistake! My first weren't until 2009 when I ordered the following: Demolition 3-pack Hart Foundation Limited Edition Honkey, Valentine, Hart Sycho Sid Hall & Nash Ringside Exclusive Nash, Michaels wfigs Exclusive So these were my 'first' as they were all all the same time. My last was LOTR Sting. |

CS4 Roddy Piper started it all for me. I bought Hot Rod, Eugene and a Stunt Action Ring from Target with my '04 Christmas money, and I've been hooked ever since then.
