So my local toy and game shop had a big selection of DA figures and it just sparked something in me that I hadn't really had before. A big wave of nostalgia just hit me and seeing these on the shelves and ripping them open and playing with them. I bought 4 to get me started.
- DA 3 Pack Edge in Blue
- DA 9 John Cena
- DA 15 Undertaker
- DC Ringside Exclusive Heaven and Hell Shawn Michaels
All of them were loose, so none of them had the accessories. But I think I may have dipped my toes into a new collection. Right now my eyes are on some more DA figures and maaaaybe I might dip into the TNA line, we'll see.
What are some favorites I should pick up?

The black singlet Kurt Angle, I believe it was Series 3, is fantastic. The HBK in red and the first John Cena were incredible! Controversial or not, the yellow Benoit is really good too. But the best from the whole line in my opinion is the Boogeyman, that figure is all kinds of awesome!!

The only two I have left is the Ringside Exclusive Kane and Undertaker from Wrestlemania 14. I won it from a giveaway (I was supposed to get the HBK/Taker set but this came instead) and I was at that Mania so they are a special part of my collection.

Nice. DA were great figures, but it just didnt catch on because all the wrestlers already made in RA/CS form. I regret not buying several figures, most notably CSDA Buff Bagwell.

The DA figures finally gave playability that regular figures didn’t have but also didn’t look nearly as goofy as the final count/finishing moves figures. I was only collecting CS at the time they were released but I ended up with a bunch of these just because of the movement they allowed for. There’s a great kofi fig I grabbed, one of his earlier ones. The CSDA was pretty good, the bulldog being one of my favorite figures (his 90s heart foundation look). The ringside exclusives were also all great. The CSDA DDP is one of my favorite figures still.

Sabu and Deluxe Agression 10 Orton are both good ones. Avoid the Kenny Dykstra figures lol. Big shelf warmers back then.

The big show, kane, and umaga are all incredible figures. I still put my kane and show with the rest of my mattel based for scale.

Love the DA figs. Underrated amongst collectors now, but I’m sure down the line they’ll fetch more attention.

As a young kid when this line came out, it was the best Jakks did. The playability was so much better than RA's, plus they always came with sick accessories! |
