Galoobs weren't exactly the most playable to a lot of people, but for me, they were brilliant and I played with them for years alongside my Hasbro.

From the list,Hasbro but my favorites were Galoobs. The Sting,Pillman and Steiners was my favorite wrestling figures I had as a kid.

Easily Hasbro.
But BCAs probably were the best for playing. Going from Hasbro and BCA to TTL was rough. Those were easily the worst style figs imo (well maybe the WCW vibrators lol)

Nostalgia - BCA for sure. Today, to go back and collect and for up coming releases - Hasbro style.

Hasbros by default for me as they were my first set and have aged really well, in terms of just how vibrant and fun they look (on my display, they usually are what people are drawn to, regardless of whether they're wrestling fans or not).
Honorable mention to WCW Toybiz though - I collected the BCA line at the time but when I saw the Toybiz figures on shelves, they just felt a notch above in terms of the likenesses.

Went with Hasbro out of the choices given, but I'd really have to say WCW Toybiz. I remember finding those for the first time and just thinking they were the coolest wrestling figures I'd ever seen. I bought pretty much the full first wave that day, and I was a junior in high school who hadn't bought wrestling toys in years. I have a soft spot for Toybiz. I remember seeing them on shelves for the first time and it was just a really good discovery. My first two were DDP and Wolfpac Sting. I still collect them to this day whenever I see some online that I like, though I've not got the ones I originally had back in the day. I absolutely love Bam Bam Bigelow's orange and blue Toybiz figures, I didn't have them way back when, but now I have both. |

Jakks RA for me, closely followed by TTL as those were what I grew up on. I'm surprised there's not more love for the TTL's as times went on, I don't see a lot of collectors buying them which is a real shame as there was some damn good figures in that line! |

I still think the Titantron that plays their music when you stand the figures on the entrance way is still the coolest  ing thing ever. |

I still think the Titantron that plays their music when you stand the figures on the entrance way is still the coolest ing thing ever. Ahead of its time. Still to this day you see peoples setups where they have a small tablet on their entrance way screen to play the music and videos. If a company made something similar, with today's technology, they'd be printing money. The cardboard sets are cool, but I'm surprised we haven't seen an actual tron set yet. |

Easily Hasbro but Galoob has a special place as well. Those were the days.

Hasbro by a mile. I got Ax, Smash, Bossman and the ring for Christmas in 1990. Easily my favorite toy line. This is why I’m so into the retros.
Although ljn was just a year or so before my time, I recently snapped and bought some. They’re pretty cool.

Hasbro by far I think that they are just so iconic and so inventive because if you really think about it you go from solid rubber statues to plastic spring loaded action figures

Even though I have most of the original Hasbro WWF figures from my childhood, I don't really think of them as action figures, they are just toys. I can't believe so many people prefer them over the other choices. You can't rally play with them like the others, nor do they look as cool on display as Jakks/Mattel/etc. Just my opinion.

The Galoob WCW figures would be tops for me. Followed by the LJN’s.
