It is engaging to say the least. Once I start on one guy I kinda nitpick the rest of my figs and how they look till like 45 mins has gone by lol. The right pose though can sometimes open up other posing options for the next figure due to shelf space and how they stand next to each other. Lots of Warriors reaching to the sky lol
I just recently posed an austin looking at his 'watch' like he always did in the rumble (when he cleared the ring). It looks AWESOME. Sometimes we did get screwed though cuz macho, cena, superfly even hogan etc would have looked better with some 'custom' hands. I gotta check if that marvel legends captain america's pointy finger hand will fit on macho...hmmm...

I just hope we get at least an rsc exclusive one... Can't we get that at least? That way it's not retail. Can mattel not get wwe's permission to release a hogan fig that way? I know a deal for just a few figs is prob stupid BUT WE DO WANT IT RIGHT? Maybe a (dare I say it?) POLL to show them that we want it? lol

You paid for the figure though and got it...I get that the smoke smell is off putting but do you wear it around your neck on a chain? Most people put smoke free home in their listings but still... I wouldn't say squat if I got my few favs I'm missing and they smelled like smoke. I'd just try to remove the smell myself not ask for a refund lol So you get the figure AND your money back just cuz the fig was smelly? Kind of seems dishonest to me. Wouldn't you just make sure each time (after the FIRST time) that they come from a smoke free home? Seems to me like you're ordering figs and on the side hoping they all come all smokey so you can get a refund lol And I can see how it works. If they didn't say 'comes from a smoke free home' then technically the listing was 'misleading'. Sneaky sneaky No. I have to send the figure(s) back. That's the point. I do not want figures that smell like smoke. It's damn near impossible to completely remove that smell. I guarantee you that i could still smell the smoke on any figures anyone has claimed that they have removed the smoke smell from. Cigarette smoke is a deal breaker with me in every aspect of life. I find it as disgusting as terrible body odor. It's like someone else said - as a smoker you don't even notice. But when you quit, GOT damn does that smell horrible. You gotta start making sure, cuz having to send stuff back gets expensive. I never understood WHY someone would even smoke around things...things that the smoke permeates. Take your ass outside or at least to a window. Smoking indoors is gross (aside from a once n while indoor cig cuz the weather is crap or whatever) so don't do it. If you do, just don't. There's a million reasons, just pick one. Or at least go to the mantle, look at the pictures and THEN pic one. Bad enough we're smoking period lol I actually just quit.

Im talking about paying somebody to use her likeness after her death. Pretty sure she got the check from JAKKS when she was still alive. Ah ok gotcha. I'm sure they'd be able to find relatives to sign off or whomever would have that responsibility. I'd love a moolah figure...did she ever wrestle in her gear from the cartoon? That crappy purple suit with a $ on it lol I love it.

I just want Elite Moolah and Mae Young I think because they are both dead and probably have no family left alive that might be an issue. Moolah has a daughter but would anybody even know how to track her down? wth are talking about?

This was his '70s to early '80s look. The era where he could actually wrestle and do dropkicks. He was more of an oddity in the late '80s when his movements became hindered due to his condition. You could tell he was in pain during his later runs as he was always by the ropes to hold him up. Funny how no one knew until nowadays where they spill the beans. Pretty good little gimmick though. No one knew (I mean fans). Now though, you watch his last couple year's matches and you see walk around holding onto the ropes... Andre had a back surgery before he came back for WM III (after P Bride). He was in 'tip top' shape after that. The next couple years' run though is what ruined him and eventually killed him. Like Russo said - Vince doesn't give a crap about you, your life or your family lol Just make him money.

Eh. I don't feel bad for him. It's kind of what you get when you post a pic saying you know what every figure is but you're too lazy to check ebay yourself.
Exactly. Doin a solid is one thing - but doing all your work for you is another lol

Thanks all. I'm enjoying collecting again. Good advice on pacing myself though! Funny you should mention Bulldog. I'm from the UK so he and Bret were my favs growing up but sadly he won't be in my loose collection (champions only) but I do have Bulldogs most recent elite moc. Do you mean champions the COME with a belt or champions general cuz bulldog is a tag, hardcore & d ic champ (maybe even a wcw hardcore champ)..?

Great start. You've made a wise choice sticking with the REAL legends and not today's bozos! So you still need Sheik, Andre, Dibiase, Macho & Yoko. Happy hunting!

Wish AJ was a DM. About to pay scalper prices Just wait it out Seriously...I can see the summer...and all the pegs are FILLED with an out of date Aj Styles. There will be plenty. Vince didn't put the strap on him and NOT make lots of merch. There will be plenty. Anyone customize that AJ yet? Give a diff color scheme? Even the japan black

Any time I get figures that smell like smoke, I request a refund, or I open a case with eBay. Most of the time, the sellers agree to a refund. The other times eBay has sided in my favor. You paid for the figure though and got it...I get that the smoke smell is off putting but do you wear it around your neck on a chain? Most people put smoke free home in their listings but still... I wouldn't say squat if I got my few favs I'm missing and they smelled like smoke.

If only they had made the LOD in black and red, and Sarge in camo, and Jimmy Snuka barefoot, the line would still be going strong today! Right, guys? SMH YEAH, because that's 4 crapty figures to start a line with. Why are syh'ing? The figures sucked so they didn't sell well. WTF is there to shake your head at? That's just stupid bro. Unless the amazing businessman that you are can't see the relation between bad product and poor sales... It's a mystery.... smh

I think it's just a matter of taste, because I was a much bigger fan of "Trust Me" Jake with the cobra, so to me his Legends attire was "the" attire. I have his All-Star ones too though and both are amazing. Yeah I loved the character too. It's not a bad figure at all. Just saying a more classic Jake with the green bag and Damien probably woulda been more recognizable than him in tights with flames and a cobra. No it's NOT a matter of taste, at all. It's not about YOU. The classic Jake is green tights. Period. That's it. Not a jake in an outfit he wore for a year. Green tights. THAT's Jake The Snake Roberts. Who cares if YOU liked the heel one best. Putting the heel outfit first was a DISASTER. There were jakes EVERYWHERE and TONS OF THEM. No one bought them cuz he's tights they dont remember holding a cobra. Now if you were someone who loved 80;s wrestling and decided you'd buy some of these figs and wasn't a fan really anymore - who do you think they'd choose 9 times out of 10? Classic Jake. I loved heel jake too but that's not his iconic look. I wouldn't say ultimate warrior is a better wrestler than ric flair JUST BECAUSE I like warrior better... Had that been all stars jake - who knows maybe they'd have all sold instead of being on clearance while the others were still full price. That's how well heel jake worked out.

The obscure attire is a myth. There weren't as many of these occurrences as people make them out to be. And Road Warriors weren't obscure. That attire is as iconic as LOD. Out of the 33 figures in the main retail released singles line I count 5 wrong picks for attire. Sorry bud, WAY more issues than just 5. Stone Cold Steamboat Dusty *Slaughter (shoulda been the HOF fig) Hawk NOT WWE Animal NOT WWE Rude ONLY WORE THAT ATTIRE FOR 5 MONTHS *Funk (shoulda been ECW) DEBATABLE *Snuka (shoulda been bare foot) Kamala *Jake (shoulda been Allstar Jake) Sheik FIGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SWAPPED Rock Pillman DID NOTHING IN WWE Perfect WRONG HEIGHT Bulldog SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLASSIC *Vader (shoulda came with Mastodon helmet instead of cape) WCW NOT WWE Duggan WRONG HEIGHT Warrior CRAP BLAND EXPRESSION Steele Wonderful FACE ATTIRE INSTEAD OF HEEL (yeah that's iffy but still) Hillbilly Ax HEIGHT Smash HEIGHT Savage Model Akeem Bam Bam NOT WWE Warrior Eddie Tornado Kerry NOT WWE Kevin NOT WWE AND YOU LEFT OUT ORTON AND (crapTY MISH MASH) PIPER. I agree with your list, except I would give Jake's attire a pass. It's iconic in its own way, representing a very memorable heel run. T The outfit thing IS NOT a myth. If it wasn't they'd have sold, case closed. People looked at the packages and the guys didn't look like how they remember. No myth, FACT. WAY too many oversights with the first line and poor distribution, etc etc... The road warriors COULD VERY WELL BE OBSCURE to those who never watched wwe. I couldn't give a about that black attire. The Red n black should have been first. There are lots of people who only watched either product and nothing else.
