Okay, so random thread time. Theres a lot of talk about people we wish Jakks would/could make, but lets see about what's already out there. If you was just starting out collecting Jakks figures (TNA or WWE) RA(RI) or DA(DI), which figure would be the first figure you buy? Alternative way to think about it, if you lost your collection tomorrow and wanted to restart, what would you buy (or atleast look for first)? Would you only buy figures from a certain era, just cs/lotr? only WWE, WCW or ECW or TNA names? Mine would have to be. RA(RI), start with the Hogan and Sting LOTR two pack and i would only buy CS/LOTR figures, due to so many RA releases  Love to hear all your answers. |

I'd buy, if we're talking starting and accessibility, the 5* jeff/rvd set. It's perfect and great to start with, plus I've always favoured he deluxe Jakks figures.

if I lost my current collection I would be pissed, But I won't not replace it. I would just find something else to collect.

I'd cry that I lost them, then I'd cry at how much it cost me to build my glorious collection, then I'd cry again at how much it'll cost to replace it, and how much time it'll take to do the customs.
The essentials I'd have to get would be:
Hulk Hogan CS 8 with red shirt
Roddy Piper WM 2 Ring fig.
Andre the Giant CS with navy blue singlet
Bundy, Sheik, Volkoff 3 pack
Bobby the Brain Heenan CS6
Mr. Wonderful single release
Big John Studd
Jimmy Snuka single release
If I got away with shelling out money for the essentials, I'd then add:
Ultimate Warrior CS1
Demolition 2 pack
Andre the Giant CS7
Hart Foundation 3 pack
Jake The Snake 1st release
Brutus Beefcake
Million Dollar Man
Thats 20 figs right there. My addiction would cause me to get the following 10:
Bob Orton variant ACE version.
Greg Valantine single release.
Honky Tonk Man black jumpsuit.
Junkyard Dog first release.
Tito Santana first release
Mr. Fuji manager
Gorilla Monsoon announcer
Jesse Ventura announcer
Rick Rude
George Steel hairy version
So there are the first 30 figs I'd get. The next ten would be :
Mean Gene
Vince McMahon announcer
Hillbilly Jim
Koko B Ware 1st release
British Bulldogs 2pack
Killer Bees 2 pack
Akeem
Big Bossman Prison Guard
So after the first 40, the final 10 for me would be:
Don Muraco
Bad News Brown
Rockers 2 pack
Mr. Perfect
Brain Busters 3 pack
Strike Force 2 pack
After coming up with 50, I just started thinking of other must haves, but I'll end up listing every other fig.

I'd certainly aim to buy back all of my MOC and Loose Rock's then after that aim to get my favourite loose Jakks figures.
