Post by WWE Fig guy on Jul 25, 2014 7:52:19 GMT -5
I'm 31,been a fan of pro wrestling, and collecting since diapers. Was getting my feet wet and a taste of the industry until my foot /ankle injury. I've collected every line (wwf/wwe) I thought I was done with figures after jakks lost the license...however my sister jokingly got me a Mattel Orton for my birthday. The figure was amazing to me...the scan, tattoos , I still have it moc to this day. I got into heavy collecting Mattel the winter of 2013.theres a few figures I missed and really want, but what ever.this years comic con I'm thinking will pull every one out that walked away into Mattel's open arms. Im still blown away from everything

Im 29. Been collecting since the BCA era. First figures I ever bought were a BCA Hunter Hearst Helmsley and a Bendems Steve Austin. All of my best friends collect toys of some kind (wwe, marvel, mmpr) so we usually go on hunts together or call each other if we find something the other is looking for.

I'm 41, and been collecting since the 80's. had the original LJN WWF figures as a kid,and even some of the Remco AWA stuff. the naround 1987 I got "too old" for toys anymore. but in 1990 I was 16,and the Hasbro WWF figures came out,and I was done for!! then right after the Galoob WCW ones hot as well,and were relatively the same size, so I had dream matches of Flair vs Hogan, Sting vs Warrior, Doom vs Demolition, Luger vs beefcake,etc. all the time. around 1992 I stopped again,because I was 18,and,again,I was too old to buy toys anymore. not to mention how scarce the WWF line started to become around here for some reason. never,ever saw guys like Hart,Taker,Tito,Bulldog,Skinner,Savage V.3,Perfect,etc. around here,so my interest kinda died out...
so I was done with them for about 4 years. then I walked into a K-B Toys here one day in Spring 1996 ans sitting on the pegs was one lonely Jakks Series 1 BCA Diesel figure! didn't even know more stuff was coming out,and I loved Diesel,so I grabbed it. then about 2 months later I went to a house show in Scranton,PA. and theywere selling the figures there as well,so I picked up a Jakks BCA Series 1 Hitman as well,and after that I was off to the races again! I collected a ton of Jakks stuff up until about 2005,when my interest with the modern WWE product was waning. but then the Classic Superstars line started,and I was hooked on them.
I didn't plan on doing much with Mattel,and even tried to quit twice. but they're so frigging great,I found myself pulled back in again,even though I said I was done after Jakks!

I'm 28 and I always loved wrestling. I had hundreds of figures when I was a kid but they got played with on a daily basis. I didn't start really collecting until the Jakks Unmatched Fury line. Then I sarted collecting just Edge figures I think I have close to 150 different Edges. But when Mattel started producing all the awesome figures I started collecting a bunch more plus I went and started buying all my favorites I had as a kid from ebay. Now I have like over 800 figures all MOC in my collection.

I'll be 20 in September and started collecting when I was 9. My family know that I collect and so does my best mate, and they're all fine with it. I stopped collecting for a few years, then I bought E10 Kane and have been buying Mattel's ever since!

I'm just turning 36 and I remember watching hulk hogan and mr T and roddy piper when I was little. I loved action figures too but mostly Star Wars and GIJOE, never wwf figs. I followed wrestling all through college and then stopped. Now I have a son who wants action figures and I think elite flashbacks are the coolest action figures I ever saw. I am very happy now that with wwe network, I am able to enjoy watching old matches with him and buy him these sweet figs! I keep some MOC for me sometimes

I am turning 16 in December. Ive been collecting since i started watching wrestling, around 2 years old. I always had my parents buy for me off ringside. But now i am old enough to collect on my own. I make alot of money selling limited sneakers from Nike. Thats how i buy my figures. I tear all out of the package, then play with them right away. I dont tell people except family about my hobby, because high school is a rough place, especially because i am in "the popular" group. Thats my story! Thanks for reading.

I'm 23 and I love long romantic walks on the beach. I became a wrestling fan in 97 and became obsessed with collecting figures since then!

I'm 30. I became a fan at about 5 years old. By the time I was 8, I was obsessed. Growing up my father wasn't around and my mom struggled enough as it was so wasting money on toys wasn't a regular thing. As I grew, wrestlers in general inspired me to start bodybuilding etc.. I wanted to be a wrestler or at least look like I could be one. One day out of curiosity I walked into a TRU and came across jakks CS series 1 and couldn't pass them up. I bought them all and have been hard at collecting ever since. I make a decent living so I can afford to buy what I want. I like being able to have any toy that I want lol As for telling people that I collect, sure. Why not? Idc what they think about it and I challenge them to test my manhood over it

I'm 27. I had a boat load of BCA figures when I was a kid but stopped once I hit like 6th or 7th grade. I never got back into collecting until about 2 years ago or so. I am fortunate enough to have a job that pays me really well so I can afford what has essentially become an addiction. i was looking for a toy for a kids birthday party in target one day and I saw the mattel lines bought one figure and was hooked. I spent the next week going to every store in the area looking for figures both basic and elite. now I'm settled into just elites unless someone will never get an elite (dreamer, hurricane, etc) and I usually only keep one of characters I'm not a big fan but for guys like Foley, Shawn and Bret I get their different attires.

25. I got into WWE figures via a handful of Jakks figures.
Things really took off when the Mattel figures came out. My apartment was a mile from TRU and I checked so regularly for Mattel WWE figures that a good chunk of the staff knew me personally. Such a magical time! lol

Old as dirt, and I don't care who knows I collect. Hell I'd wear a t-shirt that said so if it was available.

31, self-employed, fan since 1991. Loved Hasbros as a kid, collected Jakks on and off. Been collecting hardcore since Mattel series 1... As soon as we saw the first prototypes, I knew what a huge step up these figures were and I was on board. Everybody I know knows I collect wrestling dolls.

I am 15 my family comes out of West Philly all though I live down in New Mexico since my birth. I been watching WWE since 2005, when I was 6. But I been collecting since 06. Although I didn't really become heavy collector till 2008. I love Jakks and Mattel figures and have over 30 Edge figure's alone. I have like 150 figures all together. My favorite figure in Jakks is 1 of 3000 Edge and my favorite mattel figure is the Ringside Exclusive Kane with the removebal mask or the 30 Years of wm elite hbk. My favorite pro wrestlers all time are Edge,Y2J,HHH,HBK,Cm Punk, And The Undertaker.
