Does anyone know? cos I cant recall ever seeing it stocked anywhere. Would have liked to have had it, even tho it looked ridiculous. Would like it now too, even tho it looks ridiculous.

Yeah a SummerSlam ring would have been great, but seeing as though the KOTR one was yellow, it probably would have been orange or something. I never believed the Goldust rumour either cos like you say he was there too late on. Im still looking for the elusive yellow ring too, just to complete my collection. An Anvil repaint would have been great

I think the last time for me was in a downstairs market in a shopping centre around 2002. There was Anvil, IRS, and the 2nd version of the Bushwackers. There were one or two others but they are all I can remember.

I thought about Yokozuna, maybe they could have fit a new bottom half on him or something. That would make Mo perfect size next to him for Earthquake too. Another figure possibility is Bob Backlund I just thought of him

It does look a bit strange, I wasnt sure if they losed their colour on card or not. Ive seen a few yellowish IRS figures on eBay before, or in other peoples collections, I personally have never owned one though.

oooh this is interesting. Also, say if Hasbro were lazy and didnt want to produce new parts for the figure bodys, what would you use from past figure moulds for the parts?
1. Diesel (used from Papa Shango body. Not sure bout the bottom half though). 2. Bret (WrestleMania IX attire, without shades). 3. Owen Hart (perfectplex mould) 4. Made in USA Lex Luger (repaint) 5. Jeff Jarrett (Jake Roberts mould) 6. Mabel (Earthquake or something). 7. Mo (Fat big splash, like Kamala).
If I had my way a lot of them would all be new, but Im basing these on what they would likely be. How bout you?

I remember when I had Doink in 93 or whatever I was gonna take a spare figure, take the arm off, paint it white and have it as the cast he used to attack Crush. Never did though. A big sceptor for Warlord would have been cool, and possibly a bottle of arrogance for the Model.
I'm lookin at the entire Hasbro colection now in my living room. My wife let me put them on display cos we had spare space on some shelves. I would have loved for some figures to have had their in-ring attire instead, like Piper, LOD, Honky and Dragon. The Mountie is probably my least favourite too, with the outfit and black cattleprod.

Morning all, I'm nearly complete on my loose hasbros, just waiting for Kamala to come throught the mail then I'm done, but I was wondering if any Hasbro loose collectors bother with getting two Tatankas, two Smashs or the series 3 Macho Man? I do have two Tatankas, one of which came with a batch but I never intended to get two when I originally began collecting. I'm not bothering with mailaways just getting the standard releases. What do you other Hasbrothers do?

Some of those figures look awfully familiar! They obviously went to a good home yor collection rules

I voted Ax and Smash although the Nasty Boys were a close second. Worst for me are the Headshrinkers and Smoking Gunns.

I just got my first one ever the other day, a Hogan. I never had one as a kid, but I decided to splash out and pay £12 for one. It looks cool next to my Hasbros I dont think I'll get more tho

Righty ho old fruit here goes...
Series 1: HULK HOGAN. Sentimental about this one its awesome.
Series 2: ULTIMATE WARRIOR. Simply a cool figure. Probably my favourite Hasbro.
Series 3: BRUTUS BEEFCAKE. A lot better than the first series in my opinion.
Series 4: BIG BOSSMAN. Great likeness.
Series 5: WARLORD: Bored of explanations
Series 6: PAPA SHANGO
Series 7: CRUSH
Series 8: LEX LUGER
Series 9: DOINK
Series 10: SHAWN MICHAELS
Series 11: LUDVIG BORGA

I've noticed a lot of little changes like that in the pictures. The purple series promo pic had Doink with green and red legs which looked a lot better than the actual fig

I thought my Dusty was yellow boots but I wasnt sure if it was just discolouration. I was looking closely at it the other day and am still unsure.

I had quite a few of these rings back in the day. I hated that fact that the ropes were so loose and the two posts that didnt have any actions to them (not the big corner spring or the pull back post) would come out of the hole if one of the figs hit the ropes hard. I also wound up my parents when I used it in the living room while they were watching TV cos it was louder to play on.

I wasnt much for the stomp figs (ted, butch, luke, irs), but they werent the worst. Rude/Flair/Kid were horrible to play with though.

Its a combination of things really
a) I've only seen Bart a few times in the last few months, going for a lot more than £10
b) I'm intrigued to see if I can get the arm transplant to work
c) Im extremely impatient and want my Hasbros finished NOW
d) Im only collecting them loose so if he is slightly rebuilt that is fine with me he doesnt need to be in total prestine condition.
e) plus sometimes its not good to hunt figures after one too many drinks of Alchyhol

I paid £18 for Billy, which im sure other people have got for cheaper. Im awaiting Bart which I got for £10 because his right arm is missing, but I got a Razor for £2 so im going to sort that little problem out somehow. I have seen them together for £40 i think they are the least rare of the greens
