I had the 2 pack of rikishi and hhh. Possibly the most crappy set of figures that jakks put out. Or maybe tied with those flex rubber ones. Those both sucked.

Those figures were really ahead of the curve at the time. I remember seeing the Hardy set at K-Mart forever in the early 2000's.

These were my favorite line back when they were released, but I kind of got bored and stopped buying toward the end. HHH's hair was always ridiculous, even more so in the single pack when he's posed doing a pedigree.

I absolutely LOVED these things. Used to be so good to play with. Some amazing times with a Rock figure I had. Used to call them "squishy figures" when I was younger.. God knows why!

I loved these figures! They were so fun to play around with. I loved everything except the hair. I understand what they were going for with the hair like that, and they looked awesome while posed doing their finisher, but they looked ridiculous the rest of the time. Despite being one of my favorite wrestlers at the time, poor HHH never wrestled much in my fed.

These figures we awesome! I wasn't a big fan of the sticking up hair but they were pretty much the real predecessor to deluxe aggression and eventually mattel elites.. Mad props finishing moves

The pack that was...Christian and Test(?) Was totally awesome. As was Scotty 2 Hotty and the Hip Hop Hippo, Albert.

this line was bad...but not that bad. it did have the flexible midsection which seems to be a common thing now in most action figures. one thing that really sucked about them is the Something About Mary hair. why??? were the figures hair so crazy up in the air? made no sense. But they did shelf warm FOREVER at the Kay Bee toys near me before it went under.

I had a few of these back in the day. I was interested in them because of the poseability. And, for that, they were fine. But most of the early ones were not conducive to displaying with ttl/ra/r3 figures. So, for the most part, i sat out on the majority of waves. However ,i did pickup the Mark Henry vs Batista set. Technically it came out before RA 2, so i got a Batista a little early, and there had been no Mark Henry to put on my shelves since the BCA era. Plus neither figure had the ridiculous posed hair ,so they fit in fine. I kept that Henry on display until we got our first RA version. I thought that one held up really well. If all the series were like that one from the get go, i probably would have collected them more frequently. If only DA style could have been kept to the same scale ,height wise, like these figures were ,i would have been happier with them too.

They're some pretty awesome ones:
Kurt Angle in Black Tights for some reason
Scotty 2 Hotty kind of looks like Test...and that doesn't look like the Baldo Bomb.
For some reason...This one was called "Slam" Not sure why.
This....
I don't quite know how to explain this one...
I used to have the Billy Kidman from this set. Wish I still did.
A rather irregular interpretation of The Clothesline...and The Last Ride.
Here is a few anyway. Hope you like the comment!

How tall were these compared to Jakks DA figures?

Final Count sets always had really cool head scans at the time that were only available those particular sets. The Hurricane had a removable mask (only Hurricane to have this) and Scotty 2 Hotty had a new scan, and I'm pretty sure Rey Mysterio, Batista, and I think Kidman all had their debut WWE Figures in that line (before Ruthless Aggression). They must have been incredibly limited or people like to keep them because I RARELY, if ever, come across some of those

Before Mattel released Legends Eddie Guerrero, I was using the Finishing Moves Eddie headscan on Chavo's Mattel body. Not very accurate, but at the time there was a limited amount of Mattel parts. It was an okay stand in until we got an official Eddie.

I remember buying HHH/Rikishi & took them back the next day. I hated these figures. I think I got a Lita/Bubba set years later for a dollar MOC, so I thought why not? But overall, I wasn't a fan.
