You can add 1 figure to your collection right now for free, who would it be?
Feel free to say why, tell a story etc.
For me it would be Commissioner Michaels BAF easily
I never saw that wave in stores and it’s beyond expensive online. I love that period of HBK as commissioner though and never expected them to make a figure

Hall of Champions Ultimate Warrior.
Same reasons. I love collecting Warrior figures, I never saw it in stores and its expensive now. I would rather have a figure I never found in stores than a figure I did see and passed on.

Harley Race
Shocked we didn’t see one today. Hoping it pops up in the reveals over the next few days but thought we’d see it in the panel considering the demand

There's not much that I missed out on. If I dont have it then its because I didnt want it. I guess maybe Texas Tornado. I have the WCCW Kerry so didnt really need the WWF version. But I have multiples of a lot of people now when at the time I was trying to only do one of each so I guess I could make some space for Tornado.

I haven’t missed on any figures I wanted. But my mib L4 Mr Wonderful got crushed so I opened it. So maybe I would replace that.

I found it around Christmas last year, I had no intentions of finding it but there it was at Target haha. I saw it once and I never saw it again. |

Oh geez, just one?
Yeah, I'd probably also have to go with Commissioner Michaels. I know that any Corporation set I make will be incomplete now because that figure isn't getting remade and I will never have it.
I have fond memories of that one pre-taped promo with Stone Cold...
"So we've been looking through the ol' WWF Rulebook..."
*Puts bottle of whiskey on table in front of them*
I laughed my a** off at that.

Harley Race Shocked we didn’t see one today. Hoping it pops up in the reveals over the next few days but thought we’d see it in the panel considering the demand Sam Roberts putting his Harley Race figure in the back for everyone to see was his way of pointing and laughing at you. |

I’m so bitter about that entire line...it’s borderline cruel that they did that to us haha They made ‘96 Jakes which is only second to the Rumble ‘92 Jake for my favorite attires for him. They made early Austin with the star on his vest which is my favorite era of Austin, and to cap it off you build commissioner Michaels. They better re-release those. It’s such BS, it’s such a void in my collection knowing they made those and I don’t have them haha. |

Can I say the recent early Crow Sting from Legends 7?
I know it never officially came out, but thats the one figure in my time collecting that I've been like "I gotta have that!!!"
Everything else I been able to get my hands on for the most part

This is a tough one. I didn’t start collecting until Elite 47.5 and that was cause my mother-in-law got me the Bret Hart as a gag. I was blown away at how far wrestling figures had come since I was a kid in the Attitude Era.
The one figure I would get is the Legends 3 British Bulldog. Huge Hart Foundation fan!!!

Everything else I been able to get my hands on for the most part That’s another figure...I swear it’s like they know what I really want and won’t let me have it haha. I have wanted ‘96 era Sting since he signed, and the last time we even got that version was those awful rumbling WCW figures from back in the day. That’s my #1 Stinger. I’m convinced because they never use that Sting in ANYTHING...I’m convinced their is legal issues with that version and they can’t use it. If I remember correctly, he changed his paint in ‘96 to the more squiggly lines because of legal trouble over the likeness to him and the Crow movie. I swear that’s why that figure got cancelled out of the blue, they must have been worried or told they can’t make it because of a lawsuit. This is a tough one.

I’m with you on that. I absolutely love those jackets. I have all the Foundation w/ the jackets in Mattel except Anvil, I can’t find it. I have Bret, Davey and Pillman. Weird little story. I have a Authentic Hart Foundation ring jacket just like Brets that I wear in the winter. I met a guy through doing artwork years ago who did ring gear for the wrestlers. Instead of paying me for the art he commissioned I asked him if he could make me a Hart Foundation jacket like Bret wore in ‘97. It’s awesome but I’m afraid to wear it to shows because Brets was stolen in WCW and I must be the only other person in the world that has that jacket haha |

I’ll be honest here and say it’s whatever figure I can resell for the most money.
No figure I missed would be worth the few hundreds of dollars I’d have in the end.
I already resold my king Harley loose for $235 and the commissioner Michaels arms for $50..but I’d do it all again if I see him on the shelf for $18
Sorry guys

The ECW RSC Punk. A great looking figure (even with the mashup on the back of the tights) from an era that there’s no other representation of.

Either the nWo Savage or the Target Paul Bearer. Had opportunities to get em, but wasn't sure if I needed them till it was too late.
