My first ever BCA was Diesel. I had given up on figures midway through the Hasbro days, but my cousin had continued collecting. He eventually picked up Diesel, Goldust, I think Bret, and the ring. I don't remember how we worked out a deal, but I know he ended up giving me all 4. I think I traded my WCW Barry Windham for Diesel first.
After getting him, I went down to TRU later that week and got Owen as well as Ultimate Warrior. Great time to be a collector. Seems so ancient to imagine these figures costing just $5.

If I remember correctly, it was an LJN Hillbilly Jim. But it was over 20 years ago, so my memory is fuzzy. i know I got it be before thePiper, but I don't know if it was before the Bendums or thumb wrestlers.

I think it was probably an old wcw scott steiner with the button on the back for punching action.

The first figures I remember getting was the Mego Batman with removable cowl & Aquaman back on my first kindergarten. I remember that after school my mom took me to Rockaway Sales in West Caldwell for the two figures. Then we went to Roy Rogers for lunch...where I got a plastic sheriff's star and cardboard cowboy hat.
Ahh those were the days! Of course that Rockaway Sales along with the movie theater that was next to it and A&P are long gone. They are now part of the CVS strip mall. CVS was an A&P supermarket...the Movie theater is were the "Block Busters" is now. And Rockaway Sales is now the stores where H&R Block to the back corner are. And Roy Rogers is now a Wendy's.
Anyway back to the question my first wrestling figures were either all of LJN Series 1 or the Road warriors from the Remco AWA line. Whichever line was out first was the ones I bought first. I bought them from the same shopping center but from a small toy store that was next to the CVS which is long gone now as well. I think it was called "Winnie toys." or something like that.

Hello to another Mego kid. Man, these kids today don't know what awesome toys are. I still miss my Chips and Dukes from Mego. LJN Rowdy Roddy Piper. Although it wasn't my first figure it was my first wrestling figure. I still have it too. Although the Hot Rod is a little worse for the wear now. My second wrestling figure (LJN Hogan) and I beat the hell out of him. Ahhh the good old days is right.

I like the small Chips (3.75") figures from Mego. I never had the larger figures of them. Do you remember the commercial for the Chips dolls? The one with the kid on his bike with them. Or how about the Spider-Man web blaster commercial? Where the kid would launch a suction cup dart with a string on it to the wall from his wrist and then have the Mego Spider-Man doll slide down it? Man I had hours of fun in the backyard/house/car with my Megos. To me they were the greatest toys ever. I had most of the Worlds Greatest Super Heroes, Teen Titans, Star Trek, PotA, Action Jackson, Starsky & Hutch, Legends of the West Davey Crockett, Robin Hood, LJN SWAT, LJN Rookies & LJN Emergency. I still kick myself for giving them all to my cousins. The only ones I kept were... Batman - (masked & removable cowl) Robin, - (masked) Aquaman Green Arrow Superman Kirk & Spock LJN SWAT (all five Hando, Street, Luka, Deek & McCabe) LJN Rookies ( Terry & Mike) Here's a pic of what I kept - (Crowded because I had to move the stuff from their normal spot and put them in there for Christmas)

Especially the Bats with removable cowl. I know that was pretty sought after some years back and I'm sure it still is. I'm getting a kick out of the old Starting Lineups too. Is that Andy VanSlyke? I still have a few of those laying around. I remember all the commercials and I had that web shooter. I remember getting it one time when I was sick. My Dad always bought me something when I was sick to cheer me up. I think he gave me the Remco powerized Spidey that day too. Remember those? I never had the the 3.75" Chips but I had the 3.75" Dukes with the General Lee. I played with it until the wheels fell off. We had all the cool stuff. Hell, we had all the cool stuff period. TV shows, movies, and toys. That is why everything we grew up with is being rehashed today. Too bad some genius at Mego thought it was a good idea to pass on the Star Wars license. Had they done Star Wars they would probably still be here today. Thanks for the little blast from the past.

WWF Superstars series 3 Shawn Michaels with the aqua/teal zebra-striped tights and white boots. Man what a figure! I thought for sure that Jakks would remake that attire in the Classic Superstars series.

I liked wrestling a little but when my Mom took me into Consumers Distributers (anyone remember this crazy place?) I looked through their catalogue and knew I had to have Hasbro Ultimate Warrior with green trunks and bear hugging Hulk Hogan. My uncle built me a crappy little ring out of wood so I chipped off so much paint but they are still the basis to my large Hasbro collection.
