Hey there, not sure if I can post this here, sorry if it doesn't belong here.. Haven't been collecting for some years, now I wanna pick it up again, lot of figures I missed and want to have now. If I buy every figure I want individually online, will be a bit expensive, I hope to buy more at once so I can combine shipping costs (Im from The Netherlands, europe so have to buy on Ebay or a good website) You guys can suggest me a good site or seller on Ebay where I can find, for starters, the Hogan defining moments, and a Giant Legend or Elite ? Whats the difference between these 2 Giants by the way?
Cheers!

Its a recent figure so its still decently priced. I don't believe there are variations of Hogans, it should just be the "warm" yellow. Some colors Mattel doesnt get quite right though. That Macho Man should have much brighter pink trunks and not pale purple. Those were a WM4 match, not 3 like the robe and rest of attire. 98 Summerslam HHH, e42,43,44 New Day, and I think DM Razor are examples of Mattel not quite nailing color hues. Must be me then, when I google on Hogan Defining Moments, I really see 2 different types of yellow appear, but as I said, I guess it's the lighting and camera effect? I hope the one I will get have the warmer yellow.. I'm very perfectionistic, I hate color 'mistakes'. I always find Hogan's kneepads on most of his figures too bright red as well. British Bulldogs Classic Jakks 2-pack the blue they used is too light as well, Bulldogs always had dark navy-ish blue right?

Howdy, Long time ago that I been active on here, cause of other interests and priorities in life I haven't been following the figures at all anymore. I had no idea which figures came out the last years. Now I'm picking it up a bit again. Plenty of figures I want Not sure if Im posting this on the right place, sorry if it doesn't belong here.. Question, I hear here and there about discount codes if I wanna buy from Ringside Collectibles, what is it? Now about the color of figures. Seems to me, that when I see the figure reviews on youtube for example for the Hogan and Macho Defining moments figures, that on these review videos, the yellow seem a bit bright? or 'fluor' ? Sorry, my english is not perfect, hope you guys know what I mean? While when I see the figures on other sites and photo's, the yellow is more 'warm' and more accurate to the reality of how Hogan's pants and boots looked like. Now, are there different color 'shades' available or is it just lighting of the camera and such sorcery? I would really hate if I order a Hogan and the yellow is so bright and fluorish.. Also, that Macho defining moments seem such a great figure, but seems so cheap on Ringside, nothing wrong with those figures right? Last question if I may ask, years ago I had some great ebay sellers who had a lot in stock so I could buy a bunch all at once to save on shipping if I have to buy individual figures from different sellers. Unfortunately those sellers arent active anymore. Can you guys suggest some good sellers, or sites, that offer a lot of 'classic' wrestling figures? Cheers mates and greetings from The Netherlands

Show us good clear pics of his face then mate. Wasn't Wrestlemania 7 when Randy was re-united with Elizabeth? And you reunite him with Sherri? That's just wrong, lol

So many figures you don't care for. Some figures missing and you would like to be produced. Some figures you like enough, but with some flaws you'd like to change.
What is YOUR perfect collection?
I'd apreciate it if only Classic collectors would reply...

Maybe the belts aren't that much bigger, but they just 'fitted' better/smoother (my english isn't perfect but you know what I mean) around the waist. On figures these belts just look wrong..

Just wondering guys. Those Ralph clothes are praised a lot on here. Everybody is so positive about them. Now, I guess it's the best you can get out there, but aren't those clothes just too slobby and big for figures? Most custom clothes are too big when you ask me. I guess it's too difficult to make clothes even smaller so they are tight on a figure. But in real life, the wrestlers always wear that tight stuff so their musculur bodies still show...all those slobby clothes just make it look dorky and wrong. Just my humble opinion..

Also do not like the Charlie Haas head for Macho Man. Haha..everybody's entitled to his/her opinion, but this is 'madness' mate...that's one of the most resembling Macho heads I've seen... This one and 'rayferraro's Macho (Tank Abott head) are the best.. Way better than that Macho project thingy that's going around..

And that's my Bret from scratch - the sculpt is a little beat up in this image. Is that the CS 13 Bret Hart? My God...unpainted it looks soooo great!
