The retro looks like Kane when he was Diesel. Absolutely, one hundred percent. I'm with you on that one.

Voted DDP. Triple H would be awesome but the lack of knee pads ruins it. Maven is surprisingly good.

Awesome collection. Honestly, while the Mattel legends and flashbacks are technically more accurate, to scale, etc, a lot of these Jakks CS figures are so much cooler.

the only improvements to be made to that bossman would be his hands painted black and a hole drilled in the fist hand to hold his nightstick. otherwise, looks way better than the official bca figure. which was regarded as one of the best figures of its time As far as likeness and detail, and all new parts it's fantastic, but the playability is terrible. Still, I think I used that Bossman quite a lot, but in hardcore matches.

Voted DDP. Tough decision though, that's a fantastic series. Quantity and quality. Some great choices, scans and attires.

A NWA Harley & a manager Harley/Vader 2 pack. Am I the only one that wants a Luger/Mr. Hughes WCW 2 pack? I'd love to see a Mr Hughes figure. I wouldn't buy it, personally, but just the fact that it's out there haha

That's really cool, I love it. Such a simple build but it works so well. Is it pretty sturdy or have some movement to it? Also, what did you use for the mat to get that sound?

I got these delivered today I still feel I was ripped off by an ebay seller the last time I bought the Survivor Series set. He said it was opened but in new condition. I could see the bubble was yellowed but I planned on opening it anyway. Turns out Shawn and Bret were also yellowed, Shawn had what looked like melted paint on his leg and Warrior was missing one set of tassels. The worst part was when I went to pose Warrior, his torso ripped right off his lower body like it had either been glued or melted together. The seller said he posted clear photos and would have taken more pics if I had asked him to. Not sure how to prove any of this now. Guess I'll just eat the $160. Also pretty annoying and fishy he didn't respond to my first several emails until I threatened to leave him a bad review Sorry to hear you got cheated on the Survivor Series set. On the plus side, that NOD set is epic!

Those Wrestlemania sets are so lazy. Essentially the same boring design with slightly different colouring.

They don't look any better than the Elites to me. Worse in some ways with the extra articulation.

I always wanted this ring. I had the one that says WWF Attitude and cam with a cage. Was that cage any good? Always looked a bit flimsy.

That Metal Vengeance Arena was so damn cool! I'm gonna vote Austin on this one. Don't normally like street gear figures but this one is great.

The one I just got today was the original one they put out. Never opened. This thing is beautiful. Now I have my original hardcore ring from when I was a kid all refurbished and fixed up, as well as this new one which is beautiful. I love the Wrestlemania XVII stickers which was a completely made up logo but still really nice to look at. What did you guys do with tour WWF Stickers they came with? There’s one big one and two smaller ones. The big one looks like it should go right in the center, and maybe the smaller ones on opposite corners ? I think that's where the stickers are meant to go. I usually would use them for stage set ups.

Didn't the Hardcore ring come with a Jim Ross figure? There was an exclusive that came with him and the announce table There was also the 'Ring of Turmoil' that came with the announcers table and a Chris Jericho figure. Edit: And a Triple H Figure. Just googled it, it's actually a really cool set.

I think it could be considered the best ring once it had all the necessary accessories (deluxe turnbuckle posts, steel stairs, ring apron etc) It also seemed to be the most accurately scaled ring too, the Real Scale Rings were far too big but just look how perfect the setup in the top left corner looks? On a side note, did Jakks release barricades prior to the Metal Vengeance Arena and were the non-RSR Hell In The Cell/Money In The Bank playset rings the same size as the Hardcore Ring? I ing love that picture of the setup. I have that Smackdown Stage as my entrance stage , and the Smackdown Hardcore ring set up just like that as well. I would always look at the floor mats and barricades as a kid and wish I had those, but they never came out as far as I know. Got another Hardcore Ring MOC on the way The only barricades and mats I saw was on the metal Vengeance arena. But the mats didn't look as good as in the photo. Just a big piece of black vinyl.

Those rings were slightly larger in area but smaller in height from the floor to the canvas if I remember correctly They were different dimensions indeed. I found this out when buying a used ring, thinking it was the same size as the hardcore ring. It's a shame Jakks didn't keep releasing more of the ring gear and make them more available. The ring posts and certain ring skirts and ropes were quite hard to come by.
