First: LJN Strike Force (my brother and I had to share it. I got Tito, he got Martel)
First Hasbro: Macho King Randy Savage (he was the first wrestler I ever saw on TV, the point the obsession began). Still have this figure.
First Jakks: Bone Crunching Action Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Ahmed Johnson, Mankind, Vader, Hawk and Animal. I was in my first year if University. Back at home I had a large duffel bag of Hasbros and LJN's that had survived the terrible teenage purge of toys years but had collected a lot of dust since. I was down in the States with some friends and saw these new WWF figures. I thought they looked kinda ugly and cheap, but just for fun I grabbed that lot (they were only like $2.99 at the time). When I got them back to my dorm I realized how fun they were to play with...and the love of wrestling figures was reborn with a fury.
First WCW Toybiz: really thought these guys were cool. A little less playable than the BCA's, but close enough in scale that the nWo (first figs were Jall, Nash and Hogan) invaded my Royal Rumble that year. This was close to the end of my time playing with my figs as the video games were getting pretty good (No Mercy and the Smackdown Series) and I started using them instead to sim my own federation.
First Jakks TTL: Ministry Undertaker and $100 000 shirt Rock. Saw the new Real Scan Technology and was blown away by the likenesses. Up until that point the TTL figs had been fairly underwhelming in my eyes (perhaps even uglier than the BCA's and way less fun to play with). After Real Scan though, I was hooked.
First Jakks RA: Can't remember. It starts to get a little foggy here cause I was officially obsessed at this point, and buying up as much as I could see/afford.
First Mattel: Santino Battlepack. I was NOT thrilled that Mattel had taken over the license. I thought we had returned to the dark ages of ugly figs when I saw that first Undertaker. And they were SO expensive. I decided that day I was done. Then I walked into a Value Village three months later and found this Santino (the one that came with Beth Pheonix). He looked amazing, a little skinny, but really cool. I dropped $.99 on the guy and put him with my CS/RA collection. Every time I liked at them he caught my eye. Then I was in Target a few months later and found the Rpad Warriors and American Dream and I caved. It was off to the races from there!!

For Mattel I got E14 Del Rio, E13 Ziggler and Extreme Rules 2011 Cena on the one day so I guess they all count as my first

My first overall figure was either a BCA Ultimate Warrior, Shawn Michaels, Goldust or Ahmed Johnson. Not certain which one it was exactly.
My first Mattel was WMH Randy Orton, though I also picked up Edge, Steve Austin and the Legacy on that same day.

First WWF: Hasbro Brutus Beefcake (purple tights) First Mattel: EG Triple H
I had a few different non-WWF wrestling toys before Beefcake, but it's hard to remember exactly what they were. I do know (thanks to an old photo) that my brother and I had an AWA steel cage match playset that was pretty cool.
