Whether you collected them as a child or discovered an attraction to them later on/today.
Keeping it Pre modern articulation.

I grew up with all of the major wrestling action figure lines produced here in the U.S. after 1990, and to this day Jakks BCA remain my personal favorite.
Collecting the early Jakks figures during the rise of the Attitude Era was a special moment in time for me and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.
With that said, it's unlikely that I would be the collector I am today were it not for the Galoob WCW, Hasbro WWF and OSFT WCW figures that came before.
It would be foolish of me to say that I cherish them all equally, but it's true to some extent; they all mean a great deal to me even now.

I was too late for LJN but I grew up as a child with the early hasbro series. So hasbro remains my nostalgic favorite but I remember in 98-99 loading up on a ton of BCA and playing with my younger brother. So fond memories there too

I have no doubt that Hasbro is going to win this, but I voted for LJN.

I had all 3 types of toys when I was a kid/teenager, but I found the BCAs to be the most fun. So many variants were made of guys, and they moved easier and were just over all fun to play with. Plus that was a great time for wrestling too. It was just mega fun!

I have no doubt that Hasbro is going to win this, but I voted for LJN. Same here. LJNs were my first through the mid/late 80s and time seemed to last forever back then. They were easily on the top tier of my favorite toys, and wrestling was huge in our family (Grandma got all us cousins into it). Hasbros would be next, and of course there was a time where my LJNs sat while Hasbros got most of the attention. But they were more available than many of the LJNs were, and the scarcity of LJNs was what raised my appreciation of them when I began hunting them down online in the '90s. Never had any Jakks. Disliked them immediately and I just kept playing w/my Hasbros and LJNs through the years. I was still a huge wrestling fan, but just didn't like those figures. |

While I certainly appreciate LJNs - especially the bendies - they were never available in stores in Belgium. Hasbros were so when I started collecting, Hasbros were my first licensed figures. The fact I dislike Jakks is no secret.
My vote went to Hasbro as those figs also represent the era I like most. I started watching WWF in late '86 or early '87.

Hasbro for me. A part of me loved the LJN figures, but I have a lot of great Hasbro fueled memories!

I have great memories of all those early lines but the amazing playability of Jakks BCA really set it apart for me. Some of the most fun I've ever had with figures and I think I was like 15 when those started hitting lol.
