My parents both watched wrestling during the 80's, my dad probably being the bigger fan. Being born in '89 I was young in the early 90's, but I can remember vividly, watching WWF on USA with my brother on Saturday mornings. Continued into the attitude era, and eventually stopped around 2005, and have not watched since. I never had any WWF or any wrestling figs for that matter as a kid, too involved in Ninja Turtles, but I remember thinking the Jakks CS line was cool. My first Mattel figure was HOF 1 Ultimate Warrior, he was always one of my favorites. Yeah we can say he lacked in the actual in-ring department, but he was so "larger than life" and committed to the character. With his recent passing, at the time, It rekindled my interest in the brand. My girlfriend works as a librarian and has access to most of the WWE/WCW DVD compilations, etc, so we have been binging a lot of those. And now she has a better appreciation for it, as she casually watched during the Attitude era. I think I have done pretty good at getting older figures, thanks to retail for having old stock(thanks?), ringside, and ebay has helped a lot. There is a point where I just can't justify a price though. This is my current set up, which is going to have to change soon, my authentic scale ring is just chilling on the floor. Only collect flashbacks, mainly sticking to mid 80's-early 00's.

Welcome to the boards! Great looking collection so far dude. That HOF Warrior is a really cool looking figure. It's actually probably my favorite that Mattel has done of him.

All I got from this post was librarian girlfriend. Kind of a childhood fantasy.
Sweet collection

Awful collection. Worst I've ever seen.
JK... awesome collection. I'm jealous of several of your figs. Welcome to the forums.

Awesome collection! I just started collecting again over the last month. I have to admit, doing so reminds me a lot of collecting when I was growing up!

Amazing collection, I love it. I've said it a million time but I'll say it again, those red LOD really are brilliant figures. I love the Royal Rumble ring too, it looks brilliant.
