You sir have an awesome collection and great taste! I see a mish mash of a couple different eras there but I detect a strong Golden Era vibe, which IMHO is hands down the best era of wrestling (sorry I am biased . I see several of the guys I am still looking to add to my collection- Andre, Jake, Sheik & Volkoff. Looking at this picture brings a big smile to my face seeing how many different guys from this era Mattel have been able to make figures of- excellent work Mr. Bill!! I hope somehow Bill is able to convince TPTB to squeeze a few more 80s guys into the line- Greg Valentine, Haku, Koko B. Ware and perhaps an unexpected surprise like a Hercules!! (I know Apocalypse would flip out if they released a figure of him- as would I ) Also, Bill please find some way to include Mr. Fuji & Sensational Sherri into the line before the contract expires. These two managers are a must IMO and both of them fit into a variety of different collections (80s, 90s, WCW in the case of Sherri), which should help with sales. I don't see Bam Bam Bigelow, Razor Ramon and Ric Flair- the latter two would be essential for an early 90s collection IMO. It appears as though that is the DM Steamboat figure, based on the head and bit of the tights that are visible. Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that figure came with a different torso then the legends Steamboat?!

My only complaint is that I dont think Yokozuna should be there as he is more of a New Generation guy. You shouldve put the HOF Barry Windham and pretend he is the Widowmaker.

Awesome collection. The ring with the risers inside works perfectly. Did you use the Matty Collector riser stands or something different? They are indeed displayed on the Mattel deluxe stands from a while back

Your collection is great. Mattel needs to fill these glaring omissions:
Greg Valentine Don Muraco Ken Patera Haku Superstar Billy Graham Koko B. Ware Outlaw Ron Bass One Man Gang Slick Mr. Fuji
