The TNF Bam Bam looks amazing imo
I think it's better than the legends but it's super hard to find in the U.K.(1 online) - not super easy to get in the states either compared to other TNF - were only a few made compared to others or is it because there's only a couple of mattel bam bam figures made so people tend to hold onto it?
No rumours of other bam bam figures coming so I'm gonna try and get my hands on one of the two
What are your guys thoughts on the best?

I'm my area it was the easiest to get off Wave 1. I saw it all the time until they sold out completely. Also, I feel like Walmart tends to stucock 1-2 times then never again. At least where I live. So they're always kind of a pain in the butt.

I have both but prefer legends 5 myself. Without the entrance jacket it looks pretty good on display. I am hoping we will one day get the purple flames.

It was never sold in the UK (surprise surprise) and if it was indeed hard to find in the US like you said then distribution must have been crap. Mattel suck.

I bought it but not a big fan of the choice of attire. He didn’t wear it that long and probably his least iconic other than his late WCW attire. I would’ve preferred purple flames, 87 red and yellow flames, or ECW grey BBB.

Tnf bam bam was the only figure I got of that set. I like it. I don’t have the legends one

Walmart is pretty terrible for stocking exclusives in my experience in multiple states. The only time I've gotten what I wanted was by compulsively checking the tracker and being the first one there. That's no way to live. I still can't get my hands on Syxx.

It's one of my favorite figures. They were reasonably easy to find here after the initial craze over the set. They were still available at all the stores in my area when TNF2 hit. But like with most of these limited release figures, once they're out of stores supply is definitely limited. There are probably around 1/10th as many of the store exclusive figures compared to main line Elites.

Anything exclusive for Walmart is hit & miss....some places get a lot, some dont...I saw him a few times but only once did I see it with a good paint job.
Im still waiting for an 80s Bam Bam though. It would by far be my favorite.

I saw him once at Walmart, which is why I have one. Maybe if I was a regular Walmart shopper I'd have more luck. I just really hate Walmart. Lately I've taken more trips to Walmart than I care for, in Hope's of finding Mean Gene. Seems like stores got an initial shipment and then nothing. I've seen them restock the Monsters basics twice now but no Elite TNF.

Especially the yellow being so thin. |

Tyler Breeze warmed the hardest in my area. I think I can still find him at one or two Walmarts in my area. The Rock, by far, was the one that sold the best around here. Rusev and Bam Bam warmed a little bit but definitely not as bad as Breezy.

I'll be honest it's my least favorite attire or the ones I liked. I like how purple flames, blue and also the grey attire he wore. Prefer the legends 5 as well, but a good friend of mine helped me get the figure and I'm very appreciative to have him in my collection.

I remember it came and went reasonably quick where I live, but then I went to visit my parents in Arizona a year ago and their Walmart had like 12 and 1 Breeze. We could use a new one, maybe a Fan Central poll?

I remember Rock and Rusev hanging around here the longest.

Bam Bam is one of those figures that Mattel absolutely knocked out of the park. Pretty much every bit of either one is spot on perfect.

Dude, there's a rural walmart on my travels that still had a couple of these last month.
I will be going through that area next weekend on my way to KC. I will stop and see if they still have one.
Are you willing to pay for me to ship it overseas?
