I like your setups. I have a few questions: 1.) What's the source figure for the red elbow pads for Slaughter? Yours seems to be a little darker red and more accurate. 2.) Is the purple strap on Sarge's championship belt a custom job? When it comes to Piper, I highly recommend the Entrance Greats headscan. I think it also looks great with the Wal Mart Piper. You might also consider an acrylic case to put on top your display to keep the dust off. You can order custom cases of different sizes. Overall, nice photos and nice collection. If you haven't already, maybe you can start watching footage leading up to 1988 and become a fan of early 80's as well

If you haven't already, maybe you can start watching footage leading up to 1988 and become a fan of early 80's as well Hey man, sorry it took so long for a response. Thank you for the kind words. 1) The red elbow pads are actually custom and aren't elbow pads at all. I had an extra loose Lex Luger E30 that I used the kneepads from and painted red/maroon. I'm not much of a customizer, but occasionally I will add something minor and I do have a handful of different paint colors which leads to... 2) Yes, the purple strap on Slaughter is a custom job. I specifically bought a lilac/light purple color paint to use on a black, shiny Classic Winged Eagle strap just for the result of the belt Slaughter took off Warrior at the Royal Rumble 1991. I popped the plates off first, and then painted several coats of this lilac paint onto the black faux leather, let it sit/dry for an hour or so, then painted another couple of coats and touched up a few areas around the clasps. It was my first time painting a belt and because of the multiple coats, it came out rather thick but I didn't want any black to shine through. All in all I'm happy with the result.

Great collection man! You pretty much cut yours off where i start mine lol I think so. I've looked at several of your posts and pictures overtime and thought the same thing. If it means anything, some of your figures and poses have made me considered expanding my collection, they are done that well. The 88-98 was my favorite time in the WWF and while I was still a huge fan during the Attitude Era, including attending WrestleMania XV, I had to create a cutoff point somewhere. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't have even begun collecting in the first place since there were/are so many different figures that it was a bit overwhelming. My current collection is the product of about 4 and a half years of collecting Mattel, some months more active than others. Thanks for the compliments.

Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite loose setups that I've seen on this board.
I'm ALL FOR keeping things organized, this is what mine would look like if I didn't spend so much on all of mine to stay MOC.
Great stuff, brother !

Updated 10/19, added Bulldog/Sid/Custom Hogans/WrestleMania V Macho.
Running out of space on my two-shelf display, any suggestions on who to remove next?

Looks awesome, man. We have a similar display setup with the 80's flowing into New Generation.
