For a moment of levity, I thought we could remember the Rumblers line. I recently found my collection in a shoe box and remember how pleasant it was getting two-packs for around 7$ and being able to build a whole roster and use the doubles for customs.
The line abruptly ended in 2013
and there are so many wrestlers who would have been great to make.
My first thoughts were the Shield and the Wyatt family might have become the first three packs for the line or that one person from each group would get paired with a different wrestler altogether.
Basically if you had to think about who have been the most important wrestlers each year from 2013 to now, who would you think would be in the Rumbler Line if it was still going.

The Rumblers were a favorite in this household. They went with our our Justice League figures and Super Hero Squad figures. We still have a full set.
Of course the Wyatt family would have been a great 3 pack. The first couple of playsets were awesome too, so something like that would have been fun.
I'm glad Kane got 2 different looks in the line, as well as Undertaker.

Remember the rumblers?! You must be a sadist. Some of us liked not needing an entire table to have wrestling matches and enjoyed the general iconography of characters. |

I loved them. Eventually stopped being able to keep up, and missed out on a lot of the later series. I liked the Rumblers Rampage too, at the time they were the closest thing to the old Hasbro WWF figures.
I guess the lineups wouldâve been similar to the kind of figures that showed up in Slam City and Stackdown.
Sandow, the Shield, the Wyatts, Batista, Sting, Hogan, Andre the Giant, Rusev, Goldust, Stardust, Kalisto, New Day, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Nakamura, Ric Flair.
I would expect weâd have seen a Chris Jericho or two.
The Bellas, Ronda Rousey, Paige, Asuka and the Four Horsewomen seem like pretty safe bets.

Speak of the cheeky devil đ We did get a Goldust(Managed to score him) and if there any youâre looking for Iâm happy to help. I personally prefer the rampage version of Undertaker for my Figure fed because heâs posed more dynamically and taller. I gave him purple gloves and knees pads for stylistic effect. And all of those choices would likely have turned out really well. Whatâs weird is they made a game for the figures and Jericho was in it but we never got a physical figure of him. |

Ah yes, I forgot about Goldust! I had it. I haven't looked at my collection in years. I liked the Rampage figures for the big guys too, it was kind of a super-heavyweight division. I didn't like them being bigger when it came to guys like Rey, Sin Cara and Kofi though. I wish there was a current subline of minifigures now that I liked. I never got into Slam City or Micro Maniax. |

I never got into Slam City or Micro Maniax. They just arenât the same! They never should have left. Especially considering the target demographic got a fresh crop of new fans every Christmas! Young kids I mean. I know they would have done a âThe Cellâ playset, or elimination chamber as a Christmas piece. Then Styles vs Nakamura, The Hardy boys, Usos, maybe the Dudley boys. Hopefully Neville and some other mid careers like Prime Time Players to fill out more rosters and more custom fodder. Del Rio came with so many sets I ended up selling them or customizing them into announcers. |

I would not mind at all if they came back.

Only love, HH When you see a tan muscular silhouette wearing yellow and red with a handle bar Stache? Thatâs iconography. Hoganâs iconography specifically. Smoking Skull for Austin, ski glasses for savage etc. When you focus on capturing the essence of a character in a depiction, the ODC stress of making it super realistic goes away. None of the rumblers are meant to be hyper realistic but all the best ones capture the iconography of the wrestler theyâre supposed to be and you can look at it and immediately tell who itâs supposed to be. I just prefer that most of the time. |

Never liked those things.
Only ever had 2 - Rey & Del Rio, because they did a deal at Big W where they packed a set with PPV DVD's. They only had 1 Summerslam 2011 left so i got it.

I loved the look of the Rumblers. I have two Punks on my Pop Vinyl/Mystery Mini/Micro Brawlers shelf right now. I would love to see Gargano, Cole, Ciampa, Owens, Asuka, etc. if they were to ever return.

I LOVE Rumblers. I would always have a few on my desk and knock them around to pass some time lol. They were just small & convenient. I bought the MITB ring/case and displayed them all in that at the time. I've since moved, but I still have them all in a tote somewhere.

I thought they were really cool. I have a few. If I ever was itchy to buy something and none of the regular figures caught my eye, Iâd grab a tumblers pack. 7 bucks for two really cool/small display pieces was sweet.
