Does anybody have a picture of the Batista one? I can't seem to find a pic anywhere.  Main that is poor. I've never seen the actual product, only the proto pics - which showed Batista in red trunks. Street gear Batista? I'd be really disappointed... Also, my only moc bought set was that Eddie/Blly Gunn set. Loved it, but was confused as to why they called his finisher the 'Fame-er'. I was like "It's the Fame-Asser, geez..." Nowadays WWE calls it the 'Famouser', which at least sounds similar. |

The Billy/Eddie pack looks like Eddie is taking a massive T Bag

I think that Taker/Bradshaw 2 pack was the only figure of Bradshaw to have the post-accolyte, APA drinkin, smokin Bradshaw scan. I dont know that they made an accolyte version, and by the time an RA version came out, he had already cut his hair short. Same with Test if I'm not mistaken.
This series always gets made fun of, but they had super fun playability.

Does anyone know where we could find pics of all of these? I loved this f*cking series so much... I mean, hair aside, these were the best figures play wise at that point.

Compared to the other figs released when these came out, I liked these over others. Mainly because of the articulation. Other than that they were meh.

The best series ever for playing and doing moves -- way better than Deluxe Jakks and Elite Mattels. They just looked bad for displaying or posing in any way that wasn't doing a move... But then they're called the Finishing Moves series, not the pose for an 8 x 10 series so that's cool. The assortment of bodies was quite poor too, but that was true of all the Jakks lines. I like the little gems in this line, like the Hurricane with removable mask. I got a few of them in 2008 from a clearance store doing WWE bundles for £20 that included a ring, a big belt (usually the Rock one with the 3D bull), a two-pack, and two single figures all from that 2000-2002 timeframe. I think I have the leather jacket from the Triple H on my Entrance Greats Piper, but I can't remember if I tried it and it didn't fit. I think that Taker/Bradshaw 2 pack was the only figure of Bradshaw to have the post-accolyte, APA drinkin, smokin Bradshaw scan. I dont know that they made an accolyte version, and by the time an RA version came out, he had already cut his hair short. Same with Test if I'm not mistaken. This series always gets made fun of, but they had super fun playability. It's not the same head as the Double Slam APA figure? I can't tell from pictures but I assumed it would be. why??? were the figures hair so crazy up in the air? made no sense. It made perfect sense. Look at the picture of the HHH figure on page 1. There's a photo on the packaging of him doing the Pedigree. |

I have a couple of Kanes that I used with TTL figures in lieu of not having him in RealScan TTL form. The only set of Billy & Chuck with removable headbands, too!
They were fun to pose with, but were quite cumbersome when actually playing with them; they felt like you were handling cooked spaghetti.

I loved those figs, the poseability was ahead of everything else out there at the time. They measure up pretty good to DA figs, I only have one left that I used for a custom of myself. Its slighly shorter but not that noticeable

You might have been able to pull off any move, but the figures joints were far too loose for their own good. That, and the hair turned me off, even though I owned Eddie/Billy, Trips/Rock and Taker/someone (Kane? I forget) |

I have a few at my grandmothers. Rikishis leg broke off recently,Takers leg because of childhood stupidity and I think I broke Trips hair.

I used to have the Benoit/Jericho? I think. I thought they were pretty cool, I loved the hardy ones!

 Scotty 2 Hotty kind of looks like Test...and that doesn't look like the Baldo Bomb. Don't worry, that's not the Baldo Bomb. According to the package it's the BLADO BOMB |

I really liked the pants on the Hardy's and Lita. They looked great on the TTL litas!

Holy crap my childhood right here. Ditto. This was my favorite figure line when just was younger. Loved the Eddie/rvd pack. |

I remember my mom ordering the Trish Stratus debut figure which was apart of this series. She came with Jeff Hardy and I believe she was supposedly doing the "bulldog." Yeah this series was pretty much an epic fail. The only reason I was stoked was because there was finally a Trish figure. They weren't just horrid because of the flying hair and poses but the articulation made them look like a wacked out crackhead. The more they moved the more awkward they looked. Overall I'd say I like the series because of the hilariousness, cartoonishness and the nostalgia. Any kid growing up during this era has to remember this smdh series.
