What really breaks my heart is not collecting from the start there are so many figs I would have walked right by without a thought to collecting them later on!!!! Oh my God, THIS! I walked past elite Honky Tonk Man, Yokozuna, Mankind. Dude. What I wouldn't give to go back in time to that K-Mart with Ricky Steamboat on clearance next to the Von Erich brothers, Steele, HBJ, etc. Sonovabitch.

I got elite Cryme Tyme for $5 at a flea market. I don't think the lady selling them knew the market for such an item. Both figures. $5 total. One of my favorite adrenaline rushes is getting a good deal from a seller that doesnt realize what their item is worth. Last year i got a loose metal vengeance arena and a hardcore ring on ebay for 20$. The lady selling it just threw it all in a box. Snapped a picture and labeled it 'wwf playset'. I'm always hoping a seller does this to me with his/her car, ala Joe Dirt.

Sheik and Volkoff 2-pack. I didn't have any reason to purchase such an item at the time but something about that was telling me to get it. I didn't. A short time later, I saw Ricky Steamboat and I didn't hesitate. Then I saw Macho Man and jumped all over it. I started buying figures from my past but I never got that Sheik. I eff'n loved the Sheik. Why did I put him back?

M$M tuxedos.
Macho Man Randy Savage robes.
Ric Flair robes.
Ken Shamrock robes (had to throw that in there).
More cloth t-shirts ala, Hogan, Piper, etc.
Basically, a clothing line for your figures. If you build it, we will buy it.

The "Hogan" era should be referred to as the "Rock N Wrestling" Era That's what I always refer to it as. The inclusion of Wendy Richter and the albums they made and, lest we forget, it's what they actually called it.

When I was a kid, I painted my LJN Ricky Steamboat's pants white. It turned out great and he was my favorite wrestler so it was a total victory. Fast forward to the year 2013 when I attempted to do the same with legends Ricky Steamboat. Yeah, no, it was an epic fail. In my defense, I didn't try very hard so I got out of it what I put in. It's terrible.

My wife hates when I correct her grammar and now my 8 year old son is correcting my 6 year old daughter. My wife says, "That's your son". I was all, "Do you mean, that's YOU'RE son?". That's when the fight started. Woman at work always uses you're. I try to explain to her she is saying "you are escalator" Most of the people in my inner circle think I'm in "THERE" circle. Nails Chalkboard

I'm a toy atheist and don't believe in toy gods - because they never answer my sad cries for figures! I used this forum as my mountaintop and shouted for a Ken Shamrock over and over. I mean, that's all I ever did. Looks like it may have worked. Once Shamrock is officially announced, I'll work on WMIII Ricky Steamboat in elite form...over and over.

One of the absolute best. It's a crime they didn't give him a run with the HW title. If ANYONE deserved it, it was Rick Rude.

Randy Couture's UFC HW Title Victory Post-fight pose with a JAKKS figure and when Ken Shamrock is finally made available, and depending upon his attire, I'll have him ankle-locking the appropriate victim.
If/when WMIII Ricky Steamboat is made in elite form, I plan on re-creating the ring, the driving cart that brought them to the ring, Macho Man and Liz, Steele and Steamboat all posed in their victory/defeat poses.

Dean sets the line back I think. They need to hit hard after him. Debut Kane re-release (with laceless boots). DX IYH HBK. WM XII Warrior with duster. 2000 Triple H. Something along those lines. You can't make enough HBK's as it would appear and this one would be outstanding for the line.

With Ken Shamrock slated for Elite 52, I'm actually getting back in. I've recently purchased the NOD and as soon as I find McMahon I'll get him, too. DM Macho Man from WMIII is coming out. Gotta get him. This gives me hope for WMIII Steamboat as an Elite so I'll get him.
I was out. I'm back in it.
