Enjoying this podcast a lot. Certainly giving me the itch to collect again. I’ll stick with just getting an occasional figure here and there. But hearing them talk about the older stuff brings back memories.
Notably on this week they talked about S.T.O.M.P. Totally forgot about those. I too had the Brian Pillman. Like Hawkins said, he worked with the regular BCA figures because he was essentially in his ring gear.
Great stuff guys! Would love to see you touch on the WCW ToyBiz line in an episode

Just got done listening to the last two eps. Loved it. They were talking about running too long but I could have listened for five more hours lol. I connected on so much they were discussing, especially the figure federation thing lol. I did the exact same with setting up my shows and ppvs and trying to get home and keep a schedule for them. The part with Hawkins talking about having an after RAW Stomp action show had me dying lmao. Really glad to have another podcast to listen to.

I'm absolutely loving the show so far. They sound like they had alot of the same experiences that me and my best friend had growing up on wrestling and collecting figures. Hopefully VintageFigs1 and whoever Hawkins is on here keep them coming.

I also like the podcast quite a bit. I do a lot of driving for work and it’s nice to be able to listen to fellow collectors talk about collecting, even if they’re rich enough to buy whatever they want.

They were a fun listen. I’m a pretty casual collector, I only have a few figures, but I actually got charged up & took a drive to my local Walmart & Target to see if they had anything I wanted. LOL.

I have really enjoyed the first three episodes. The only thing I did not like was the call for us collectors to support the Retro line. Hey most of us would love to, but Mattel is making it near impossible for some folks to do so with their distribution and incredibly strange decisions regarding the line.

Just listened to the first four episodes, this is great stuff. Wasn't sure whether to dive in at first as I'm a Fully Poseable guy, but this is different enough for me to have two wrestling figure podcasts in my life!
Loved listening to the guys talk about their figure feds growing up, brought back so many happy memories.

They said elite 63,64 pics coming soon This may be old news but it’s first I’ve heard of it Also if I heard them correctly, the ‘2019 Basics line’ will also feature the variant figure (I assume per wave, like the Elites?) Really enjoying listening to the show though. Keep up the good work

What do you guys want to hear on the podcast? Honest opinions on Mattel figures (ala your talk on dude love) Memories of past figures. Good, bad and ugly. Obscure stuff. More about your collections and what you want to add. Basically more of the same.

What do you guys want to hear on the podcast? I’d love to hear hunting stories from the past too. I also imagine you guys would have some funny stories being recognized while hunting figs too. Also, I was cry laughing this week over the “fig bath”.

Talk of that Rulers of the Ring Tazz brought back memories. That was right before I had internet so I had no idea that set existed. I walked into KB and found Tazz and D-Von Dudley and was mind blown. Went on a crazy hunt for Bubba until I finally found him at TRU.

I went crazy looking for the Dudley’s after seeing them on the back of a package

Mercer was my heavyweight champion and Dial-Tone was my cruiserweight champion. Mercer and Zartan were always feuding over the IC with me. Roadpig was my usual champ.
