That barbed wire looks amazing, did you make that yourself? These figs were such a great upgrade by Jakks, too bad it took so long to try again with the DA line Here’s a JC Bailey I recently finished

JJ Dillon, just need glasses if anyone has a set "Ichiban" Hulk Hogan WM IX Doinks. makin kids cry, brah Gotta have his loaded arm and sling I made a WM X Doink, just need to get my hands on a fig for Dink.

Very nice, i wish I could find some good Jakks-sized vehicles. Im thinking of the Mattel ambulance since thats probably the best there is for that, but finding a car that fits and has a roof and at least working doors is becoming a pain

the detail is amazing, but the ends of those belts looks terrible, especially the WWE belt, they look so skinny its quite ridiculous

Jakks is what I grew up with the most and honestly will always be the best out there. Between the different lines that they put out, none of which were as silly as some of the stuff that Mattel has created, and the different sets made there is so much out there to make an awesome collection. Not to mention Jakks gave us so many figures of guys that will NEVER be made now for one reason or another, as well as their scale rings actually being to correct scale to a real ring. Jakks can never possibly be dethroned.

Currently trying to track down all 80+ RVD figures to make a history of Rob Van Dam Figures video! Good luck. Before Mattel Elite 91, what RVD figures came with the 2 thumb hands. I have a Jakks RA one in a green singlet, but were there any others? 👍👍 Some of the Jakks TNA figs had them i believe

Does anyone else feel the Mattel/Jaz articulation in some spots is really lacking? I'm noticing it more with the female wrestlers, the guys are more or less capable of bending at the hips and less so the midsection to be standing bent over, but Shida and Nyla rose don't have a lot of range of motion in the midsection especially compared to the Jakks DA ab joint, and there's not a lot of movement in the hips as far as raising a leg straight out without it going out to the side.
Feels like the range of motion is being sacrificed in exchange for the figs being easier to take apart and customize, or maybe it's just the designs themselves are flawed. I'm a Jakks guy first and foremost so I may be biased but to me its pretty blatant.

These days Im mainly buying up figs to make into DA customs. Ive got WM IX mirror Doinks made with the extra arm and now I just need a Kona Crush if I can ever find a head. And I have a WM X Doink that just needs a Dink.
Once in a while a fig pops up that ill add to my collection, like the TTL Stephanie in the blue dress who may become an interviewer or additional announcer in my figfed, as well as an RA Bischoff that i put an nWo decal on the shirt

my local store carries some. Ive seen Archer, the ?latest? Bucks, Jungle Express, SCU still pegwarming, and even Nyla recently. I picked up a Nyla but am thinking of using her to finally make a Bull Nakano, the face sculpt looks like it came off the Jokermobile.

Dry brushing or a stipple sponge would work best.

the mattel ring is too big so the cage would pretty much be against or inside the ropes

I've never tried it but it does sound interesting. Looking at my figs the parts seem to be similar sizes according to my calipers so it could work, if it does definitely let me know

selling as a lot is a good first step rather than trying to split it all up. Once you hit 50 posts you can access the classifieds. Theres some good groups on FB too
