Hello everyone. Lately I've noticed that I've been purchasing a lot more Classic Superstars and TNA Legends of the Ring than usual and I was wondering which figures from these lines are your favorites and why. I tend to get some of the more "obscure" characters or some that Mattel wouldn't even try producing to fill in the holes in my Legends collection. Since I know a lot of you on here are mostly Classic Superstars collectors, which figures would you guys and gals recommend looking for?

CS 11 Hollywood Hogan, nearly perfect figure if it weren't for the molded/painted shirt. Another would be CS 7 Ultimate Warrior, one of my Favorite attires and it comes with the blue/teal strapped belt.

Depends on the era you collect. Personally, I like the Terry Funk, Sgt. Slaughter, Giant Machine (The Andre with fixed body) and Cactus Jack.

Some of my favorite CS Figures:
CS10 Mr Perfect
CS 123 Kid
CS Diesel
Bret Hart from the RSC Austin/Bret 2 Pack
CS3 Pack British Bulldog
Since it really struck me we aren't getting any more CS, I've started collecting pretty much only CS customs. I'll post my collection here one day..

Berzerker is an interesting figure, but definitely one of the best. Giant Gonzales is another great figure, pretty unique but incredible detail. Both the Godfather & Papa Shango are good, although Godfather is in clothes and not ring gear but the jacket he comes with makes up for it in my opinion.
The Montreal Screwjob is a must, and another set I'd recommend picking up is Road Warriors & Rockers Series 1. Two figures I think are better than their single releases is the Hogan/Warrior Wrestle Mania set.
If you can get over how massive the Paul Bearer is, then the Undertaker/Bearer set is one you should also get.

I have to agree. I still have him displayed in my collection. He's awesome. Also, I love Andy Kaufman, Nikita Koloff and the Hollywood Blondes. |

My favorites are as follows
Curt Hennig with orange singlet
Honky Tonk Man
Bruiser Brody
Rick Rude Deluxe Classic
Mankind
Ric Flair Deluxe Classic
Brian Pillman in Bengals tights
The classics are by far my favorite line of figure I regret that I wasn't a hardcore collector when they were first released.

I know this might be an odd one as its essentially not "classic", but the Wrestlemania 25 set with Cena, Big Show & Edge is brilliant. Maybe the best figures of all 3 by Jakks. The cena in particular is incredible. I just purchased one and it's the second time I'll have owned it. Highly recommend it.
