Favourite character:
HBK/Macho 1 was my personal favourite - Macho's elbow drop was perfect with that figure, and HBK was more of a "DDP" character for me, the Superkick wasn't his finisher, he did a "Diamond Cutter" like move (called the Heartbreaker) which was perfect with that figure
I can't understand all the Rude/Flair/123 Kid hate.... they were perfect for carrying out armdrags and half Boston crabs against clothesline figures like Owen and Neidhart (their legs were perfect for the crab!)
Least favourite character:
Bushwackers - both of 'em! Neither character had any purpose, apart from a forearm shot or two which was just crap!

I don't know why the Dugan sculpt but i am guessing they went against the discus punch body as the cloth shirt would probably interfere with the action? possibly. 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. Well think about it. After doing the Huss. Everyone knows Berzerker always liked to give a big thumbs up! Huss hoooooooo |

I was never a fan of the Snuka figure, either. For some reason, his pose always reminded me of those toy birds you balance on the end of your finger.  |

Favourite Figures have to be Macho 1 and Mr Perfect. When they came out I couldn't wait to rip the packaging open.
Hated Figure is Bushwhacker Butch for the same reason AmPie69 gave, but then the Bushwhackers tended to punch and kick their way through every match.

Favorite: Yokozuna or The Nasty Boys...Yokozuna is just so different from the rest of the figures. I just like the Nasty Boys and I don't know why. They just stand out when my collection is displayed.
Least Favorite: The Rockers #1...Shawn Michaels doesn't look like himself and I've yet to find a Marty Jannetty that doesn't want to tip forward from standing at an angle.

I agree with the first "Macho Man" as my favorite. I also like Earthquakes and Ted Dibiases.
Worse would be the first Ultimate Warrior. Hated those spring jumper ones.

Yeah, I loved the first Macho Man. It was just a great figure overall. Great paint-job and likeness. Worst would probably be the first Ultimate Warrior or Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, due to their stupid springer action. That probably goes for all those spring action figures. Just didn't like them at all.

Favotite... hummm, oddly enough I think the Bam Bam Bigelow was awesome. Its hard to pick a favorite. I was collecting these in my early 20s so it was all about the top of my entertainment center's ring wars! On the left side was the WWF Hasbro ring, on the right was my WCW Galoob ring (modified with a custom made painted wood platform to raise it up, no bouncy ring post. I have pictures somewhere, I gotta dig em all out!
Fav tagteam was Nasty Boys just because the figures were too cool. LOD should have been but the stumpy not sharp spikes & Hawk with the jumping body sucked. (I actually bought an extra set off the shelves & used the Animal body with the Hawk arms and head in my set up)
Least fav: Rockers of course. Akeem as well, but just because I wanted a One Man Gang instead!

This is a cool thread, it's a shame it hasn't been active in a while.
My favorite Hasbros are typically the unique ones, the ones that there are only one wrestler made that way. For instance the Yokozuna could only possibly be Yokozuna, he definitely doesn't look like Earthquake, if that makes sense. I tend to not like the generic looking ones, the plain ol regular figures, such as Tito Santana and Rick Martel and Ric Flair. I also don't really care for the hoppy ones. That being said, here are some of my favorites:
Legion of Doom
Bam Bam Bigelow
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Doink The Clown
Adam Bomb
Boss Man #2
Honky Tonk Man
I like all of them because they're colorful and really detailed, just super interesting looking figures. My figs of these guys are all in good shape (I don't own Bossman 2 though), and it looks like a lot of care was put into these. Taking nothing Away from Savage #1 of course. I agree with a lot of people here that his series 1 figures is just fantastic.
Here are some of the boring, uninteresting figures that I will probably NOT buy on cards unless I really like the wrestler:
Brutus Beefcake 1
Sid Justice
Virgil
Bossman 1
The Rockers. God. those figures are really the effing worst.

Texas Tornado is the all time favorite mainly because he was the closest to his finisher except for the call.
Jake The Snake Roberts is gotta be 2nd cause it can ddt.
Always thought Jerry Saggs was unique.
Least is Ric Flair he looked constipated. Wasn't a fan of the Rockers Piper and Warlord cause they barely stood.
My main disappointment with hasbros is the constent reuse or poor use of the bodies.
Bezerker should have been gorilla press.
Macho Man should have been more color full. And several people
were released to late such as Tito mountie etc.

My least favorite would have to be snuka. I dont really like any of the spring ones I feel like they could of made a better action for them. I do like my kamala but its mostly because of design and not action.
Hard to pick a favorite. Too many of them design wise I like. Action wise would be a little easier to narrow down.

Snuka isn't so bad. I like the look on his face. And his not safe for children tiger striped attire. |

Its like well we dont know what else to do with these certain figures. Add the jump action. Which I just never really liked. |

No, I totally agree. The jumping action is awful.
