Was there going to be a Goldust and Dlo Brown TTL figure? no. Goldust gone for the TTL era. He left in 1999 and returned in 2002. By the time he could have been in production, they were already moved on to R3 and working on killing it off. D-Lo was in the going no where Low Down tag team for most of 99 & 00, before eventually just being ignored all together and eventually released. His biggest "angle" of the TTL era was earning a Royal Rumble spot and then having it taken away and given to Drew Carey. Not something figure worthy. |

Any other old timers here remember Rikishi in Wrestlemania 2000 packaging? And Lita with shark accessory?  |

I remember wanting the RTC Steven Richards so badly. My friend had it and said he would sell it to me.
So, with my mom's permission, I gathered up every last penny, nickle, dime and quarter I could find and gave it to him and I got the Richards in return.
Eventually his tie broke off and I didn't want to use Richards without a tie, so I gently took his head off and replaced it with a SCSA head and used it as Jesse Ventura the referee.
So I do hope one of these days either Mattel or Jakks (if they are able to) make a Steven Richards with black pants, white shirt and tie.
I want my Steven Richards back. I have two RA Stevie Richards, but I don't want Stevie, I want Steven.

Oh man TTLs were awesome back in the day. Remember my first fig was the comissioner Foley, was awesome. Kept buying and buying, sure in retrospect they are the best figures (of course not the pre real scan ones) but they were awesome for the time and had great attires. I remember how good it was to finally find an undertaker figure, was the best. Same with Kane TTL 10, the attire was fully molded! One other TTL i really liked was Albert, way better than any of his RAs too, the scan was awesome and the attire was great. Rikishi stands as one of the best TTLs to date as well, better than any of his figs that have come after! |

I remember having the Albert and I hated his attire. I also had the steven richards and my tie broke as well but i still used it as a weapon he would bring to the ring with him

I loved Albert.
Him and Big Show were another of my huge feuds.
I think one of the two most personal feuds I had was Jericho/Blackman.
They were just having a match and Jericho put Blackman in the Walls of Jericho and I pulled on Blackman's legs a little too hard and the crotch piece cracked open and one of his legs popped out, I tried getting it back into place but it just wouldn't work. So I played out the feud that Jericho had damaged Blackman's leg so much during the Walls that it had to be amputated.
Hard to wrestle with one leg, Blackman lost a grudge match against Jericho and I retired Blackman. That was until I got another one years later. The feud happened not too long after Blackman's figure came out and it wasn't until maybe 2-3 years ago that I got another TTL Blackman and he came back and he had two legs so I said during his retirement he got a prosthetic leg and has been cleared to wrestle.
He faced off against Jericho and beat him. And I really haven't used him since.
The other personal feud I had was between Myself (Rebellion Jeff Hardy with greyish/white shirt and black cargo pants) and my boyfriend, the head ref (Billy Gunn head, TTL Ric Flair Evolution shirt and t-shirt arms and grey pants from the Vince that came with the Titan Tron) against HHH, Stephanie and Earl Hebner. HHH and Stephanie wanted to be the power couple in the company, but me and my boyfriend were since I owned the company, ECF, which put Vince and the WWF out of business. That is how the storyline ran was that I put Vince out of business years prior. And Hunter and Stephanie wanted to install Earl Hebner as the head ref. Well, I didn't want to take the job away from my boyfriend, so they had a match and HHH interfered and Hebner won and my boyfriend went on to be a low level ref for the rest of his career, he was tragically taken from us when my dog went into my room and chewed him up. He promptly retired.
Another ref I had was Jack Foley (Mick Foley in a white jacket and arms with tye-dye shirt from a 2 pack with Taker). He played Mick Foley's brother. I never called Mick, Cactus, so I took the Jack part of the name and gave it to his brother. Sadly, he too was taken from us as one day his arm snapped off and well, you can't ref without your counting arm so he had to retire.
Earl's arm eventually snapped off too so now I have one TTL ref (Jesse Ventura as I mentioned earlier), an RA ref, a head on a RA Joey Styles body without jacket and Teddy Long as my refs.

Very fond memories of TTL. I remember being incredibly excited for Real Scan, and my first Real Scan figures were actually the Hardys.

I've never owned a Tajiri figure, TTL, RA or otherwise.

I've never owned a Tajiri figure, TTL, RA or otherwise. Nor have I. But you were talking about Steven Richards, I used him as a commentator alongside JR in my pic fed JWF during TTL's run. I never did get a Jerry Lawler fig until very recently when I bought an RA one. |

So many memories, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I had a full arena set up in my wrestling room complete with backstage areas. I would make full storylines and pay per views, full entrances, matches, interviews, segments, heel/face turn, title win celebrations.
I remember having Austin win the Royal Rumble, go on to a match match for the belt at WM and he had a full celebration: his music playing loud over the speaker, confetti, Sparklers attached to the titantron for pyro etc, it was really cool at the time. Also have great memories going to town with my dad to buy figures.

TTl is what got me collecting. sure i have WCW Galoob and WWF Hasbros but i never collected them. I remember going in to the store and picking up a DS4 HHH/BABG and was just blown away by them. I frantically searched for the Hardys to no avail.

Any other old timers here remember Rikishi in Wrestlemania 2000 packaging? And Lita with shark accessory? Was that the backwards Rikishi? If not, then do you have a picture? And I remember hearing stories about Lita with a shark, but I don't recall ever actually seeing it. I remember the thread over at AFR about that. Someone claimed that they emailed Jakks, and a Jakks rep told them the line-up for TTL13, and their accessories. Everything was pretty normal, but for some reason they listed Lita coming with "a shark", and that confused the bloody hell out of everyone. Who knows if that person was lying or maybe it was just a misunderstanding or something. Pretty funny, nevertheless. |

I loved TTL, was really the time where I was young, and really enjoyed figures, playing with them daily, I had everyone, and everything, I loved them.
