as a kid i remember a couple Thumb wrestlers and LJNs - very vaguely. But i got Hasbro Brutus Beefcake, Hogan and Jake the Snake along with the Hasbro ring for xmas one year... it was awesome.
as far as collecting goes 98/99 - ECW - the OG ones, I picked up a Lance Storm and an RVD (series 1).
WWF(E) - TTL 7 or 8 - whole set (Hardyz, Buh Buh Ray, Rock, Road Dogg & Rikishi) in 1999ish. (started w/ Jeff & Buh Buh because they came with a Ladder and Table respectively - went back the next day and bought the rest of the set - at media play of all places. anyone remember media play?)
i'm a casual collector - but i've been die-hard for a decade... BCA, TTL, R3, FM/FC, Fatal 4way, Unlimited, Ringside Rebels, RA, CS, DA, UMF, MA, BnB... pretty much every type of fig Jakks did (beside Maximum and Vinyl Agressions - S.T.O.M.P.) is represented somewhere in my collection.

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) Nice stuff PJ. 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. Yes, those are the Andy Van Slyke Starting Lineups. I still have my Howie Long figures as well. I had the General Lee as well. The 70's & early 80's had some great toys. But nothing beets the Megos. Yes, that was a good idea as Star Wars will never catch on. What were they thinking.

my first figure was Ahmed Johnson for my 6th birthday. sadly 2 days after that the head broke off & my mom threw him away. but 2 years after that i got Undertaker & Kane pictured here And in the same year those were soon followed up by a WCW hogan(which lost his leg in a freak power rangers in space mega zord accident) & WCW Goldberg which i still have but cannot locate at the moment And 2 years after that on my 10th birthday my collecting days began with these 3 wrestlers The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, & Triple H im now turning 19 & still going strong

I think the first wrestling figure I got was the first Hasbro Bossman. It might have been Macho or Andre, but I think it was Bossman. Man, I used to love playing with the Hasbro figures. I remember taking all of my figures on holiday with me and meeting another kid who told me Ric Flair had just won the belt from Macho Man and I couldn't believe it.
About a year later, I knew all the wrestling figures I was getting for Christmas (it was the series with Flair and Nailz) so for weeks beforehand I was planning my big Christmas day event, which had a name at the time but I don't remember it - probably something lame like the Christmas Day Bash or ChristmasMania. Happy days... I wish I still had the imagination/mindset for that sort of stuff.
I don't know if anybody else ever did this, but back in the Hasbro days, I really reduced the roles of guys who had sucky figures like the skinny little Flair body and Slaughter/Mountie etc who had hats and coats and stuff. I rarely put them into matches even if they were a main event guy.
