I just picked up a loose Benoit and Eddie from a local thrift shop and was wondering why these figures don’t get alot of love. I didn’t even know the line existed until I found these

I had the Jericho/Angle Walls of Jericho set and actually got it singed by Jericho. He called them dolls and my wife has never let me forget that moment. Sadly, I have no idea where that is any more. Loved it because I was such a huge mark for both Jericho and Angle.
Also had the HHH Rock pedigree set and the Hardy Boyz twist of fate.
Loved loved loved this series at the time.

They were ugly and didn't look human. If anything they reminded me of puppets.
They did have more articulation but I believe in quality over quantity.

When i was a kid I remember my friend had the Hardy’s and i thought it was crazy how fun the extra articulation was for doing the highflying moves. I think the “flowing” hair kinda ruined them, and the inconsistencies in the line.

Loved them as a kid, that's about all I've got. They didn't age well in truth.

Fun idea but as a kid, I wanted my figures to have a more uniform look. A lot of these had that suspended animation hair or pose that kind of made it good for only 1-2 things.

Back in the day before 3D Prints I remember seeing a bunch of people using the Triple H hair for Bull Nakano customs. Outside of that, no, they don't get much love.
I remember some of the "action" heads being in other lines as well. There was this one Stephanie McMahon figure in a red shirt that I think had slapping action or something. I don't know, I ran out of room to put up most of my McMahon figures so she's in a drawer.

Dunno how I’ve only just seen this thread but I pretty much own most of them and make customs out of them over on insta @finalcountc
Defo one of my favourite lines of all time although I’m sure nostalgia has played a big part in that
