I remember the first one I got was the Taz from a flea market, loose, I don't think there was a belt. I was so excited. Still have it somewhere.

Awesome! I always liked these figs. I actually got mine signed by sabu a few weeks ago.

I had loose Taz and Dudleys I think. Or maybe boxed. I bought 'em at KB I think? Waaay back when. They were nice! I liked some of the old Toybiz WCW figures too a lot...had some neat ones for a long while.... I miss these old figures a lot.

These are my first three. $21 for all. |

Damn, not bad at all. I'm looking into collecting old Jakks, WCW Toybiz and other lines (basically just cherry-picking some random ones I had as a kid and some I never could find but are cheap AF now...like a Dennis Rodman figure hahahaha--I'm a big '90s Bull fan and from Chicago)....this line being one of those "other" lines. Hasbros too, when found cheap enough. I'd buy those loose and have a few already but sold some unfortunately and am kicking myself (I sold a really nice condition loose Rowdy literally a week before his passing and it even went up a tiny bit, but mine was great shape is the main thing, and I think I pretty much gave it away on the Bay for cheaps :/ )
I have lots of Jakks still and few WCW--mostly just loose or parts. I have a neat Nash somewhere around here but most of my WCW figures wound up falling apart for some reason (all were different makes and models it seemed, even some corny stuff like the Magnet fighters which I have a one-armed Hogan of ...which is wearing Jinco jeans right now and magnetized to a custom burger Jakks made too...ahh the old figures rule)
But yeah, Mattel is too rich for my blood as cool as they are + I hate a lot of the new wrestlers. So the Jakks Classic line may be the "high end" stuff I look to buy and stuff like this lower end. 3 for 21 is great. I also don't think I had them boxed in hindsight, at least not Tax, b/c I never remember having a title with him either. That's really neat. I don't know if the Dudleys came w/ tag titles or not...but yeah I dont recall having any with them either. I just used them with my WWF figures until those early early Jakks dudley boys came out and I was so excited. I regret selling those even if they were loose...hell I liked all of my Jakks dudleyz. Cool figures.... I really didn't mind Jakks at all until RA started.

Cool figures.... I really didn't mind Jakks at all until RA started. I remember those magnetic figures. Haha. I collect WWF Hasbro, OSFTM ECW, WWE Retro and want to start collecting WWF Bend 'Ems. I plan to collect all of the Retros, but only certain figures from the other lines. Basically the ones I had as a kid or wanted and never got. I had a ton of Jakks as a kid but have no desire to collect them. Only BCA Series 1 Bret Hart with black top and pink tights. I actually just won it on the bay and it will be delivered any minute. I only wanted it because it was my very first wrestling figure and Bret is my favorite of all time. |

Interested in loose Bend-ums at all? I have some kinda unique ones. I really liked them, and still do. But I opened mine and lost a lot of the cool cards inside. I do have an oldschool Mandkind in very nice condition + his card, which I find cute. "287lbs" and from The boiler room hahahaha. Those were so cool but most people I know HATE them, even now! I could find them in my local grocer even, back in the 90s (it was called Dominick's in chicago and had been around forever; now it's Mariano's, got bought out by a long-time employee...)\ I have some weird ones I was surprised they made or had gone long into the line enough to make... not sure when it ended, actually. I lost some, but have a ton of loose ones to this day. One being jeff Hardy which I found interesting. I lost Matt's. I have a couple other cool ones--a Too Much Brian Christopher w/ the card somewhere.... Sable... a few diff. types of Taker.... Doink somewhere, if i didn't lose him; Kane, somewhere, if I didn't lose HIM... haha. I love those though. I'd like to start collecting those mint on card, but my collection is already semi-large for loose. Billy gunn, Road dogg... Taka...some real random jobbers and stuff  |

I gave my entire collection to a younger cousin when I was 16, which I regret. I'm only looking to collect MOC, although I may end up getting a couple Retros loose for display and occasional fun. |

These are beauties.
And 27 is an amazing steal.
I'm looking to get back into them but I'm pretty torn because I have a few WCW and TNA figures left.
I forgot they made a Taz with a belt. I think that's the one I want.

Very Nice, I love these ECW figures and someday would love to have the whole set. I only have RVD you have loose with the TV title. Thanks for sharing and good luck to you with getting the rest of em.

I had a few of these figures when they first came out; may still have a Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten in my box of loose old non-Mattel figures. My favorite is Shane Douglas because the head works well, after some Dremel work, for Mattel fix-ups. I still use the title belts on my Mattel figures, repainted with gold leaf to make the "plates" stand out better alongside Jakks and Mattel VAC belts.

Also, since a few of you mentioned wanting to collect these, I currently have them up on the bay. I've decided to focus strictly on WWF Hasbro and Mattel Retro.

I saw an RVD just like this one without the belt and I'm wondering, did the person find a way to open and reseal him to get the belt or was there some made without belts?
A part of me would order the one with no belt if he'd reveal how he got into that packaging so cleanly!

It's so hard choosing which RVD I want to order. They're all so cool and just different enough. I wish they would have made one in light blue. |

I wish Mattel would do OSFTM Retro toys, that'd be the best, but it's a total pipe dream I'd say. I would love to see Paul Heyman, a referee and the ladies. |
