What is everyones favourite and least favourite Hasbro figure - and why?
Favourite was Macho Man #1 - I think this figure was brilliant for his famous elbow drop from the top rope
Least favourite was Ravishing Rick Rude - Too small and you could hardly do anything with it (then they followed it up with Flair)

All that the Flair and Rude figures could do are headlock and punch. By the way, was the Hulk Hogan series 2 figure with the Hulkster Hug action the only figure made with that mold?

too many that i love to name a #1, but dusty rhodes, texas tornado, yokozuna, bret hart are all tops....but, i'll tell you with absolute certainty, the worst figure is brutus beefcake #1, while the likeness is spot on, the body is horrably disformed, and that action, i always thought that was dumb too!...oh and not to mention, there's like billions of this figure, way overproduced  |

Favourite - Macho Man #1. Just beautiful Carded and loose. Least favourite -  Hard choice. Maybe Rowdy Piper. The hand and leg sculpts are quite poor. |

Favorite: Macho Man series 1 (I prefer wrists painted in white along with his knuckles), Ultimate Warrior Series 2 (I could paint green over the orange between his eyes to match his paint job), Ted DiBiase in wrestling attire, I could never find that one. Hulk Hogan version 4 (No shirt) would go better with a series one or two head! Hulk Hogan series 3 or 4 head would go great with a series two body.
Least favorite: Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

All that the Flair and Rude figures could do are headlock and punch. By the way, was the Hulk Hogan series 2 figure with the Hulkster Hug action the only figure made with that mold? The rude fig could do other things. Suplex, rear chin lock, hip toss, fair enough clothes line, million dollar punch, drop toe hold, arm bar. Even could do one of the best attempts at a figure 4 that a hasbro can do. That being said it is limited. My least favorite are generally the jumpers but specifically Marty Janetty 1. This figure was god awful. I never knew if it was supposed to jump, fore arm smash off the ropes, or hand assisted drop kick. My favorite is a toss between Hulk Plex Hogan #3 and Razor Ramone. Hogans figure was great. Suplex, head lock, sleeper, Had a rubber arm which made those moves easier to apply to any figure, clothesline, decent slam. And cool likeness. The smash feature figures were quite playable as well. |

Favorite is tough. The Warrior in white is probably it though, most as it was my first.
Least favorite is easy though. That awful Marty Jannetty takes the cake. Most of the jumping figures were bad as it was hard to get them to actually jump. but his was impossible. Rockers Shawn was also not good, the poor face sculpt is almost bad enough to equal Marty's move.

with a bit of imagination Rude could even do the neckbreaker

One of my favourite figures was always Hulk Hogan #3. I just think that was the best Hulk figure Hasbro made. Warrior #3 also. I liked the stomp action as a kid. A lot of good ones to choose from.
My least favourite figures are the Rockers. They could have been much better. I'm not really a fan of Billy Gunn either.

This is a tough one.
My favorite was that Hogan. I still have that one.
My least or worst one is probably like someone said Ricky Steamboat. I would hurt myself on those sharp forearm thingys.

favorite: Macho Man #1 and Ultimate Warrior #1.
least favorite: 1-2-3 Kid. I hate that scuplt plus you throw on a head with a mullet? No thanks
most disappointing: The Berzerker. I saw a prototype drawing of the Berzerker's head on the Texas Tornado's sculpt and it looked like a great fit. I will never know why they chose to make him do a thumbs up with Duggan's sculpt

even as a kid-the wrestlers who weren't in their wrestling "in ring" attires kinda disappointed me.
The Road warriors are my fave.....but I couldn't use them back in the day.UT,steamboat & Smokin Gunns were the same because of their friggin hats.
and I have to say I didn't mind the Rude sculpt too much.you could manage a Rude Awakening at least....and a decent Shoulderblock from the top rope.with Flair it was a touch more problematic.I would have preferred Flair to have the Macho Man 1#,Jake Roberts or Bret Hart mold.
he was a glorified manager of my WCW invasion back in the day.Sid,Luger and The Steiners were great....ol Ric not so much.

I never really thought of that. If that were the case, they still could have found a better sculpt. Though I think it's incredibly over used, perhaps the press slam from figs like hulk 1, sid, bulldog, warrior 2, warlord, and animal. |

Favorite - a tie between Macho 1 (still the best Savage likeness in figure form) and Hogan 2 (an awesome figure in a signature pose)
Least favorite - Rocker Marty Jannetty, not only a jumper, but couldn't even stand up on his own.

Least favorite definitely Rude. Flair too, but at least as a kid, I could use his legs to pretend he was putting on the figure four. My favorite would have to be Bret Hart and/or Mr. Perfect since he could do anything.
