My first WWE figure ever: Fully Loaded Series 2 BCA Shane McMahon
My first WWE Women's figure: TTL Series 7 Stephanie McMahon
My first WWE Mattel figure: Elite 50 Shane McMahon (I swear I collect other figures, these were just my firsts)
My first WWE Non-McMahon figure [which I suddenly feel the need to list]: TTL Series 7 Kurt Angle
My first WWE Custom figure: Mighty Molly
My favorite figure overall: Either the custom WM14 Shawn Michaels that I bought, or the custom World Cup Shane that I made myself
My favorite non-custom figure: It's a tossup between the CS Luna Vachon or the Elite 41 Lita

First figures were either LJN Hogan and Hillbilly Jim or AWA Flair. I can't pinpoint.
Favorite is either a Hasbro red card Bret Hart or Jakks CS1 Shawn Michaels.

Although I had a lot of figures at the time as a kid, the first time I remember actually going to the store and getting some figures was at a toys r us. I got deluxe classic Eddie Guerrero in the green pants and 2002 Kane.
My favorite figure of all time is Elite 16 Cm Punk

My first figure? LJN Junkyard Dog. I told my parents I wanted some GI Joes for my birthday... I got JYD instead.
Favorite figure? Would be figureS actually. Jakks Classic Superstars tag teams Legion of Doom! Remember not knowing anything about them and then finding the set the very first time I ever visited the Toys R Us in Spartanburg, SC.
Let's all have a moment of silence for Toys R Us...We miss you TRU!!

I think my first figure was a Deluxe Aggression Randy Orton (long before I was actually collecting)
My favorite is DM Shawn Michaels.

My first figure was either the LJN Series 1 or the Remco Road Warriors whichever wasn’t released first.
Favorite figure is my Mattel DM GAB ‘90. That’s my all-time favorite match and I waited 25 years for an official figure to be released of that match. So even though it’s not perfect it’s still my favorite figure. The DM Starrcade’97, the EG Piper, L4 Mr Wonderful and the L6 WCCW Kerry round out my “Top 5” for Jakks my favorite is the CS Rick Steiner.

First figure, the whole LJN 1st and second series for Christmas '85. Favorite Figure. This I can't answer. It's like picking a favorite child. With So many from so many companies. I can't even whittle it down to top 10.

First figures were Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior Hasbro series 2
Favourite figure in collection is a tough one. I always loved the ringside two pack HHH & Stephanie, of Akeem legends series 5.

The first figures I remember having... They were a combination of Ruthless and Deluxe Aggression figures. I don't remember which one I had first. But the RAs were Benoit, Orton, and Kane. The DAs were Edge, Batista, Undertaker, and Kurt Angle. I still have most of them.
My favorite figure in my collection is the first Defining Moments "Macho Man" Randy Savage (the one based off of WrestleMania VII). I got it at Kmart in 2011. Went home and turned on the TV. The news was on, he had just passed away. I played with it for a few years but decided to stop because the jacket was kinda falling apart. It's currently on my shelf next to my other prized wrestling possessions. Those are and LJN Roddy Piper, the Mattel Legends Kamala, and two Rey Mysterio Masks.

I remember playing with hasbros when I was little but I think they were a friends or something. The first figure that I distinctly remember buying was a Bend-Ems Diesel. I had a pretty good Bend-Ems collection going until BCA came out.

What was the first wrestling figure(s) that you remember owning?
In this order: Smash & Slam Goldberg, then Hogan, then Sting, then BCA Signature Series 3 Austin (At this time I was given $15 a week or every 2 weeks to buy figures if I behaved at school) -Then SS3 Undertaker, Rock & breakdown in your house Austin & Mankind -Then SS 3 HHH, Fully Loaded Billy Gunn, and Fully Loaded The Rock -Then Superstars 8 Shane McMahon, Kane, Big Bossman -Then Road Rage 2 Test -Then Superstars 9 Big Show and Signature Series 4 X-Pac -Then Signature Series 5 Austin and Road Dogg -Various TTL's -Then eventually Superstars 9 Holly and Christian
In hindsight I'm not sure why I wasn't able to purchase more of the figures from Summerslam '99 that would've been of interest to me during summer 1999. I think maybe I was spending my money on pokémon and baseball cards instead?
Favorite Figure is Hard: Thinking back 10 years after I stopped collecting...I think TTL 3 Jericho, TTL 5 Kurt Angle, House of Pain Undertaker (first American Bad Ass) and The Rock, Rulers of The Ring 1 Chris Benoit, Rebellion 2 Undertaker (removable shirt and hat), TTL 10 Austin & Kane, ROTR 4 William Regal, UCF 1 RVD/Booker T/Flair, RA 1 Lesnar, Raw X HBK RA 11 Eugene, Summerslam 2004 Edge (at the time a perfect figure of really the only guy we hadn't gotten in current ring gear in RA), AD 22 Umaga, RA 31 Batista, RA 36 Kofi, PPV 17 No Mercy CM Punk, and Mattel Elite Series 2 Orton are among my favorites because at the time they were great figures that fulfilled long felt needs or that I had looked forward to owning. With the earlier years we didn't get figures as frequently, and especially didn't get new, non-main eventing guys for a while. So it was always a treat when we got a figure and he was a main eventer and he still looked like/wore the attire his figure was in (for example by the time we got HOP Undertaker he was wearing his Rebellion 2 attire...which was principally the same when we got that figure..just leather pants instead of jeans...which looked about the same for the figure).
On a yearly basis: '99: hard to say because I had just started collecting and switched from WCW to WWF after a few weeks 00: House of Pain Undertaker 01: TTL 10 Austin (we hadn't had a widely available real scan Austin in ring gear in like almost 2 years of TTL's existing) 02: UCF 2 RVD (he and Booker T were the main guys we desperately needed figures of at the time...the nWo Smash & Slam's worked well with TTL's and old TTL big show's were decent enough Kevin Nash's) 03: RA 1 Lesnar (I never was able to find KOTR Brock, so obviously this was crown jewel and most necessary acquisition) 04: RA 11 Eugene (this is probably the toughest year to pick because of the strides Jakks made...but again this was a guy who was absolutely essential and the true missing piece that didn't have other version that could stand in, however the AD 7 Orton/Batista and Jericho/Christian packs were also awesome and I'd consider to be the tipping point of when Jakks went from just making RA's to actually making great, accurate figures) 05: Summerlsam 04 Edge (in a year that saw Jakks release RA 12 - 17, AD 10-17, and so many other things...this was a hard choice. But this edge was nearly perfect for the parts available at the time...while RA 15 Carlito was probably the most needed, that stupid molded Hawaii shirt stops it from being #1) 06: RA 18 HBK (another seemingly perfect figure. Another year of mostly repaints with updated head scans. 07: Any Umaga or WM 23 Hardy Boys (a lot of great figures came out this year, this was when Jakks started to expand their parts offerings) 08: RA 31 Batista (perfect figure, perfect accessory), PPV 17 No Mercy Cm Punk (truly an essential figure after he cashed in his money in the bank in this attire on Raw), or RA 36 Kofi Kingston (2008 was Jakks last great year) 09: AD 37 Orton 10: Elite 2 Orton
In terms of figures I never owned, Elite 16(?) Punk from the summer of punk with the shirt is a spectacular figure that I would've loved to have own had I still been collecting.

Mine was a $1 bag of USA wrestling Team 2 inch flesh tone wrestling figures from the drug store. followed up with my brother and I finding the hasbro version 1 Brutus beefcake and ultimate warrior figures, along with the orange galoob sting from a flea market back in 93. I lived up north in a small town, so we did not have big department stores or Toys'r us like in other places. So finding anything wrestling related was difficult. It was terrible! being a kid and watching those old wwf vhs tapes with the commercials on them. Knowing all too well that we could not go out and buy any of those figures was hell! lol. Good times
