Favorite hasbro in each wave and why

Do you mean favourite hasbro from each series?

Well before this thread dies I'll put my list up.
Series 1. Andre the Giant, great looking figure, one of my favorites in the whole line.
Series 2. This was tough, came down to Ultimate Warrior or Macho King. Sided with macho king, cus hitting other guys with the scepter was cool.
Series 3. Sgt. Slaughter. Another great looking figure. They really got this one
Series 4. British Bulldog (over Undertaker? seriously? Yeah just like Slaughter over Perfect because UT and Perfect both had better versions later)
Series 5. The Model. Was always a big martel fan, warlord would be second place, the silver paint that chipped kept that figure from being perfect
Series 6. The weakest series if you ask me. Hate head lock figures, hate jumpers so I guess I'll pick Shango
Series 7. Crush...Man crush was cool. Both michaels and razor had better figures and it was tragic we never got the orange card Owen
Series 8. My favorite Series, whole line up was pure gold. Loved the narcissist and mr perfect so calling this a tie
Series 9. another weak wave. Give it to Doink cus why not?
Series 10. Michaels barely over razor, razor loses because of the gold paint flaking...
Series 11. I only have Billy so this is hard but Borga is too cool looking not to pick.
Tag Team 1. Crush...I hate the bushwackers (nothing but jobbers) and the rockers both had better figures later
Tag Team 2. Animal, only down side is the pads not being removable

Let me know if you agree or what you think

1: Hulk or Jake. Hulk was my fave from the series as a kid, and Jake was just cool w/the snake draped around him. Loved hitting people w/Hacksaw's 2x4 too, though.

2: Warrior or Macho King. Warrior looked WAY better than in series 1, and Macho was awesome w/the accessories

3: Hulk. This figure was so badass. Side note, I also love Koko, Mr. Perfect, and Warrior 3 but I never found either of those in stores. These were the first figures I was unable to find. Up until this point I had them all except Texas Tornado and Bossman 2, which I didn't particularly love. I preferred Bossman 1 anyway. Not sure what I didn't like about TT but the figure itself is pretty solid! Earthquake was close too, his mold and tattoo were sweet. Now that I think about it, Honky was great for hitting people with a guitar.

4: Bret. Could never find Bret or Taker in stores, and obviously those were the must-haves. I did have Bulldog and didn't buy Steamboat. Both were fine figures though. Bret was just too cool at this time, and by the time I really knew it the Taker w/the coat was out and was more impressive.

5: If I had to pick now, maybe The Mountie is the neatest.

6: Shango. I remember running to TRU while my mom was shopping a couple doors down, being surprised at seeing Shango there, and running to beg for $5 or whatever to get it. I loved that character. And yes, I got it

7: Razor, Shawn, or Crush. Ugh, I can't choose. Razor and Shawn were such hot characters at the time, and since I never had the Mr. Perfect figure (or Steiners, yawn) the Crush body was new to me. I suppose he's 3rd place because he was too short, though. I remember getting Owen, Kamala, and Bulldog 3/$10 at KB at a certain mall. Incredible how we remember such details.

8: Another impossible series to choose ONE. Bret, Mr. Perfect, and Taker I never saw in stores. What was it with those figures!? Same with Yoko, and he was so unique. A friend down the street had them though and I eventually traded for at least Yoko.

9: Tatanka or Doink

10: Again, Razor & Shawn were awesome. I never saw either repaint in stores but they were both really, really cool to me. The rest were lame, I think the only one I even bought was Giant Gonzalez just so everybody could kick his ass.

11: Never saw em in stores, but had them all a few times over later. I'll think out loud as I type: 123 Kid was cool for obvious reasons, but the figure itself almost sucked. The mold fit him much more than Rude or Flair, so that made it much better than either of those by a mile. Billy Gunn, meh. Bart Gunn was cooler because he at least looked big and tough. I liked his attire better, you'd think they would have made them match but knowing what we do now the reason why is apparent. Crush was OK but again, too short for him. Yoko was still really cool, I liked the colors a lot. Adam Bomb was killer, but damn it all he was too short. They should have made a new leg mold for that body because everyone that wasn't Mr. Perfect or Scott Steiner looked ridiculous. Bomb was the bomb otherwise. Borga I guess would be my #1 pick. He was a big, bruising dude whose figure was exactly that. It may have exaggerated his stature a bit, but the large arms a la Warlord were great. Cool attire as well.


Tag team: Tie: Demolition & Nasty Boys. Demolition because they were always a 1A/1B favorite with the Hart Founation. Nasty Boys were another pair I couldn't find in stores, and I got them much later on after Hasbros were done. I like the uniqueness of their sculpts a lot.

Mailaways: Hulk, because he was the most different. I had 'em all bagged years ago, though.

1. M$M- first one I ever got as a kid so it holds a special place

2. Piper - love the attire choice

3. Mr Perfect- my all time fave wrestler

4. Bret- probably my favorite body mold/action move

5. Mountie- loved him as a kid, great guy in real life

6. Flair- why not

7. Razor- such a great likeness for the time

8. Lex- in the interest of not choosing repeats like Perfect and Hart this Luger was awesome

9. Scott Steiner- loved having my hasbro Steiners fight my galoob Steiners

10. Giant Gonzalez- meh, bad series

11. Sadly never owned any of these but I've always wanted to find a moc Borga

Definitely all of them!

1-Andre, he was a classic for the time. Even to this day he has this mystique about him. The figure was larger than the others, could do the headbutt and a one handed choke.91-2-Dusty, cool sculpt, nice form for bionic elbow
3-Hulk, I'm not a big Hulk fan but liked this one more than the other figures of him. It was a dead-on sculpt and better move than the bearhug
4-Bossman, both sculpts were great and feature his body size at the time. This one was really cool because he could do the slam
I could never find Steamboat and Bulldog in stores (opposite Mansonozz with Bret and Taker). I stopped watching WWF/collecting around the time so that could be why
5-Anvil (at this point I realized I really probably could put "All" for every year but I especially like Anvil despite it not being his more famous Hart Foundation it def. captures his likeness
6-Skinner, didn't really care for Model or IRS bodies, Macho and Hulk (by 1993 were boring remakes for me)
7-This is a tough one. I'm thinking Berzerker. Shango looses out because of the BLUE tattoos (this is a Jakks-like move IMO), Tatanka looses because of the lack of skirt (why cheap out on him when lower card Berzerker gets a cloth). Flair is too small, Repo too large, Tito was good likeness but body is a Jake repaint.
8-All are awesome. I'm thinking Nailz because he was a cool but short lived character and the toughest to find.
I wonder why Nailz was tough to find. Also wonder why we never found the yellow cards until 1995 KB (some of us).
9-Mr. Perfect, it was a repaint but with all his colorful outfits, you can't go wrong. Bam Bam is cool but again, the different color tattoos kill it for me. Luger is good but past his Narcissist period.
10-Dibiase, this series was pretty boring but I choose him because he was post-ring gear and I could do that cool move he did sometimes when he would dump a guy neck first on rope
11-Giant, again a series that was pretty boring. Hasbro pulls another Jakks move by making Bushwhackers in gear they didn't wear. Giant was better than the rest though. A more realistic looking one with fur would be better.
12-A pretty cool series since it was the last but basically all repaints they put together because they needed to make one more series. I honestly can't think of any one I like particularly. I'm thinking Ludvig for the head sculpt.
Tag teams-1991 even though Rockers outfit was outdated I did like the color and the bottom portion of sculpts. 1992-Nasty Boys were spot on. LOD was killed with the black hair and attached shoulder pads.

I will do 2 lists of favorites, don't forget I'm in France so not all the series were available here.

As a child :
1 - Jake the Snake Roberts : because I love the sculpt even with that kind of action feature, He came with series 2 as series 1 never was available
2 - Hogan 2 : because he was my Hogan as a Kid, Hogan 1 never arrived here
3 - Warrior 3 : same reason than Hogan
4 - The Undertaker : my favorite wrestler at the time
5 - The Mountie : Big feud with the Big Bossman !
6 - Shango all the way : always loved that gimmick
7 - Never saw them
8 - Bret Hart was the only one I got because of a trip to London, it was awesome to see new ones ;D
After that nothing until ebay

Now that I own them all :
1 - Macho Man : Love that one so much ! I own a signed MOC version too
2 - Warrior 2 and Macho King : Awesome representation of the warrior, just hoped it would be green like the future mattel one ! And Macho King for all the accessories
3 - Hogan 3 is the best representation, always hoped the mail away had that skin color
4 - still Undertaker
5 - Sid Justice : my favorite hasbro I love that sculpt used it a lot for custom
6 - Shango : it's voodoo !
7 - Shawn Michaels : I loved him as a wrestler and loved Macho 1 so good combination
8 - Bam Bam : Awesome big Man, the colors, the tattoos, everything was great !
9 - Rick Steiner was good but not my favorite wave
10 - Giant Gonzales because of his size and costume but pretty bad (same as the wrestler)
11 - Borga because of the sculpt, Adam bomb would have been my pick but I really hate the perfect legs and arms...

Best accessory : Draw : Ring Belt and Demolition mask

I guess being released twice is what made them so common. Series 2 figures were also repacked into Series 3 casepacks too. I think it was Piper and Duggan. I know you can see which ones it was in the Hasbro Toyfair catalog pictures.

1. Gotta go with Hogan, my first and my favorite. Great series, I'd put Smash, Andre, and Macho as close seconds
2. Honky with the guitar, followed closely by Macho King and Demolition Crush
3. Toughest choice by far. Best series. I have to go with Hogan again, as it was easily the best Hasbro Hogan. He was my champ forever. Earthquake was very close second, and they feuded off and on for as long as i played with them. Beefcake and Bossman are right up there to the point that it could be a tie. ..but I loved that Hogan so much, he just barely edges them out.
4. Bulldog, with Bret and Taker very close behind...LOD also get special mention
5. Virgil believe it or not. Virgil got a really good push in my fed.
6. Shango easily. Tatanka and Berserker also got pushes
Mail away. Hogan
7. Razor followed closely by Michaels. Kamala was also up there
8. Another awesome series. Love them all, but Yoko just barely edges out Bigelow as the favorite (in spite of blue splotch head tattoo)
9.Doink by default. Not a great series
10. Jannetty, who also got a major push. Gonzalez is a close second.
11.thankfully the final series was a good one. I have to say Borga slightly edges out Bomb and Kid. Bomb mightve gotten the win if he were taller.

Macho king did not come with a belt came with a crown and sceptre
