Favourite Wrestler(s) of all time

Benoit or Sting

Favorite wrestler of all time is Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. So many great memories of him feuding with Jake "The Snake" Roberts, the Macho Man, and Flair.

I think Mattel has done a good job on all three of Steamboats figures. Especially the DM one. His basic with Jericho isn't the best, and I don't own it. However I think I'd like to pick it up simply to have all the Steamboat figures.

Had the privilege of meeting him at Wrestlemania this year and having him sign a poster that use to hang in my room as a teenager. Great guy.

Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar. Mattel nailed them both.

The Rock. Always has, always will be.

Since i first started watching wrestling in early 98 i immediately favored Rock. He was just so damn entertaining on the mic, in the ring, whatever. One of my fav matches ever is the Halftime Heat Empty Arena match between him and Mankind, basically cuz you can hear him trash talking the entire time and i crack up. I could watch it over and over. I got rid of most of my Jakks figs long ago but still have a couple Rocks, and i have 26 (and counting) Mattel Rocks all in dif attires. Ive also got t-shirts, posters, Rock sunglasses, elbow pads, etc. Was even lucky enough to find 3 of his electrifying silk shirts (as seen in my sig). When he returned to wrestling in 2011 i thought it was *finally* time to go out and get the tattoo i had always wanted. I got his People's Eyebrow brahma bull logo, but colored and shaded like his actual brahma bull tattoo, on my arm.

I think Mattel has done great Rocks so far. E22 is excellent for current Rock and the DM is great for classic Rock, but i can still dream for a better classic. Perfection would be WM27 base with the black suit pants, dress shoes from BAF legs, new head or EG head, molded gold watch/bracelet/necklace, and one of his long sleeve electrifying shirts. With sunglasses and a mic of course.


Others favs would be:
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Undertaker
CM Punk
Dolph Ziggler

All of which i feel have been done very well by Mattel as well

Here's hoping Mattel can knock a few more off my list!!

Kevin Nash and Diesel I am so happy that I was able to get both figures in one set.Hopefully one day we will get a Scott Hall/Razor Ramone in the same set.

At this point, I'd say my favourite is Edge, though Cena's coming close. Mattel has captured Cena perfectly. Edge, not so much. The first headsculpt that was on Elite 1, WrestleMania Heritage 1 and TLC, that one was great. The other headsculpts for Edge were bad (that one they used on most of his basics, and the even worse one they used on Elite 8) to mediocre (the Flashback one). They screwed up the tattoos on most of his later figures too. And this one isn't Mattel's fault because it was a year or two before they got the contract, but I really wish we'd gotten an elite Edge in the camo tights he was rocking in 2007.


I know you're joking, but imagine if they did it! It wouldn't even be an option for Jakks really of course, but perhaps the company that put out figures of Ed Gein and John Wayne Gacy would consider it. I don't think many places would carry a thing like that, no supermarkets or department stores would touch them. Did comic book stores sell those serial killer figure lines? I know McFarlane's Monsters line had a bunch of killers and criminals, but they were all historical. I think Benoit is way too recent a monster for even comic stores to be comfortable stocking a toy celebrating him. And more importantly, it'd jeopardise Jakks' relationships with their big brands. They probably have a contract with Disney that has behaviour/reputation clauses, which would result in contract breach and lawsuits if Jakks did start putting out dolls of real-life murderers.
