Thought you guys might appreciate this story.
I will say that my wrestling figure collecting days are generally behind me. However, there are certain exceptions. About a week before Christmas, my wife and I were in Target doing some final shopping, and I happened to see the Classic Moments Randy Savage figure sitting on the shelf, the only one in stock. The combination of the incredibly detailed figure combined with the fact that it portrayed one of my favorite wrestlers from one of my favorite matches was mind blowing (the effect of seeing it in person was much more powerful than video).
I showed it to my wife, who has become a huge wrestling fan over the last year. Thanks to my love for old school WWF, she could instantly recognize how cool the figure was. We both marveled at it for a bit, then left it at that.
Fast forward to Christmas morning. I open this big package that turns out to be a shoe box stuffed with the very same figure! She was kind enough to brave the store at Christmas one more time to pick up a toy for a grown man. Incredible. So, all in all, I not only have one of the coolest wresting figures ever made, but an awesome wife. I will love both forever.
