So I know we've discussed on here about non-wrestling figures we’ve used WITH our WWE/WWF figures back in the day. But, have any of you guys used strictly non-wrestling figures for a wrestling federation back in the day? Personally, I had a very long running Marvel ToyBiz figure fed with all the top Marvel talent. It was a good change from normal wrestling figures, and mixed two of my favorite things growing up.
How about you?
(P.S. To this day, I still throw some wrestling poses onto my Marvel Legends for fun.)

GI Joe and the GI Joe style Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter figs were my go to before Jakks Pacific.
E Honda was always my go to Yokozuna. I could still look at them and recall who I used for each specific wrestler. Glad I wasn't the only one! That gap between Hasbro and Jakks was tough for me!

Had quite a WWF fed with a bunch of Power Rangers and other random figs in a secondhand Hasbro ring. Once did a tables match by cannibalizing some cheap hobby planes.
Created my own fed using Beanie Baby knockoffs. Had an entire faction of dinos.
Heck, I've put together knock-down, drag-outs by puppeting tree limbs in my backyard. Couldn't do long-term plans due to breakage lol

In my childhood (Mid 1980's), I had a pretty large 3 3/4 GI Joe Fed. Those figures were so versatile with articulation, they were a lot of fun to play with. Until the rubber band inside snapped.  Then I got pretty good at replacing the rubber bands and started frankensteining ones I didn't like as much to create new characters. I wasn't really a GI Joe fan, so I never really kept the accessories - Save for one that came with a cool black cape - or cared about the actual names. I'd create new names, stories & factions for my NAWA. I think I had probably 60-70 of them I regularly played with. Made belts out of scotch tape and construction paper. Once I grew out of that phase, I gave toys away and didn't think about it for years I got into E-fedding years later and ended up reusing a bunch of the names and stories I had thought up when I was 10 or so. Saw on here a while back someone who turns those 3 3/4 into actual wrestlers, and got super nostalgic for them all of a sudden. Been peeking at what they go for on eBay these days. :-O Wish I'd had the foresight to keep them instead of giving them all away back in the 90's |

I mixed a lot of my figures when I was a kid. I remember in the Hasbro era, I had Mr. Sinister from X-Men beat Bret for the title, lol. I remember X-Men making their way into my fed the most. Probably because that was the line I had the most of, outside of wrestling. I vaguely remember making John Connor from T2 a high flyer. Can't remember clearly, but think there was some Captain Planet crossover too. Never had my MMPRs in there though, for whatever reason.

Seeing you all mention GI Joe's it brought up my shirt lived GI Joe fed. I pushed Duke like he was the John Cena of the company basically. GIJW (GI Joe Wrestling, I know I was so original haha). I had a little printed out belt for them too wear of an Attitude Era belt. I mixed a lot of my figures when I was a kid. I remember in the Hasbro era, I had Mr. Sinister from X-Men beat Bret for the title, lol. I remember X-Men making their way into my fed the most.

Can't remember clearly, but think there was some Captain Planet crossover too. Never had my MMPRs in there though, for whatever reason. I think the X-Men were THE stable in my Marvel fed. I treated them like an nWo type group. |

Kind of, save for two banged up hasbro figures of Ultimate Warrior and Typhoon from my two eldest brothers, and a WCW Lionheart Jericho that I got on holiday that year, it was around the time I first got into wrestling during the Invasion storyline back in summer of 2001, a friend introduced me, my brother and sister to wrestling, Survivor Series 2001 was the first full PPV we watched, had to beg my father to record it.
Christmas was still about a month away so in the meantime, me, my brother and sister just gathered a bunch of random figures we had and tried to replicate what we saw on tv using these random figures.
The ring we had was a square plank of wood, we'd just imagine the ropes and turnbuckles.
Our Survivor Series main event ripoff consisted of.
Team WWF:
Big Show (Mumma Ra from Thundercats)
Undertaker & Kane (two of the Street Sharks, I think it was Kane = Big Slammu and Undertaker = Rox) Chris Jericho (WCW Lionheart) The Rock (FF8 Bandai Squall)
vs
The Alliance:
Shane McMahon (FF8 Bandai Laguna) Booker T (Some figure from a Happy Meal, don't know what movie it was from)
RVD (Not 100% sure, might have been White Ranger)
Kurt Angle (Hasbro Typhoon)
Stone Cold (Hasbro Ultimate Warrior)
We made up tag teams such as the Street Sharks and Power Rangers
Another match was FF8 Bandai Rinoa vs Pink Ranger
We made little cardboard belts for them and wrapped them in tape for the shine effect.
Didn't last long though, got my first wrestling figures and ring that Christmas, followed by a European Championship 10 pack from Argos a few days later using some Christmas money, so all the randoms went ignored, looking back at it, they were good times, wish I still had that level of creativity.

I used non-wrestling figures as wrestlers really
Like FF8 Quistis was Stacey Keilber, FF8 Edea was Linda McMahon, one of those Karate fighters was Booker T, Marvel Legends Captain America was John Cena,
All place holders till got the normal figure except Edea.. she was Linda the whole time lol.

Talk about a creative mind! I could never see the figures past what they were. Unless I did some head swaps or something to change them up a bit. I wasn't as creative haha. |

G.I. Joe 3 3/4" figures are the greatest wrestling toys of all time.
