Hey y'all. I spend so much time on these boards and I don't think I've ever posted pictures of my display. Figured I'd finally get on that!
Some quick background ... I was lucky enough to get back into wrestling right around the time WWE switched from Jakks to Mattel. I was never a huge fan of Jakks figures the first time around, and once the first couple Mattel series came out I was all in. Hasbros were my figure of choice as a kid and the Golden Era is my favorite wrestling era, so that's my main focus. I collect current roster elites too, even though I'm pretty down on the current WWE product at the moment.
This is just what I have on display for now ... I'm 32 so I try to keep the size of the display within reason, lol, though as we all know it's tough! I have a full Legends set both MOC and loose, every flashback loose and doubles of my favorites to keep MOC. I'm just starting to get more and more involved in the autograph game ... luckily Ringside helped out by selling some signed figures in the past (RSC Bret, DM Flair, RSC Cactus Jack ... thanks, guys!). I posted about it last week, but I was lucky enough to meet HBK and Ricky Steamboat recently and those signed DMs are two of my favorites of my entire collection. I'm hoping to get more DMs signed like some of the more esteemed members on here have shown ... really love the way they stand out. I bought the Roddy autographed EG off eBay before he passed away ... came with a PSA, etc.
Before I get to my current display, here's what my "restrained" computer room display looked like as of a few weeks ago:
After sticking with that for a while, I felt like breaking out more Legends/Flashbacks in a bigger display that I have elsewhere. For space purposes, I stick to one per wrestler, as much as I love my favorites -- Bret/Macho/Warrior/etc.
Warrior statue/print, along with some random current buys/favs:
Another room:
Thanks for looking!
