It's been a while since I've actually posted on here, but having just set these up not too long ago, I wanted to share. Forgive me if this isn't the place...I'll move it if need be.
Listening to Major Wrestling Figure Podcast has got me thinking about Hasbros and recently I just got these out of storage and gave them a place of honor in my collection, so I figured I'd share. My best friend Chris was a big WWF fan growing up and was into the Hasbros. As we got to be friends, wrestling became one of the things we bonded over, so I'd go over to his house a ton and play with his wrestling figures. We'd lay out our PPVs and have some crazy matches when I'd stay over and these were always just pure fun for us.
Unfortunately, a few years ago, my friend committed suicide. It's been hard without him, but looking back at stuff like this just makes me smile. His sister found these (still in the Ninja Turtles zip bag that they used to be kept in) and said she wanted me to have them. Now they're in a place of honor in my collection. I've actually considered trying to track down a few of the ones that I know that he wanted and add them to the collection, but I haven't fully pulled that trigger yet. One day, though, Razor, the Steiners, and that third member of Demolition (maybe some of you can tell me which one I'm missing...I haven't sat down to figure it out yet, sadly) will sit alongside these guys. Anyway, here they are:
