I want survivor series 89 sooooo bad. Axe already made me a custom of first match survivor series 1990 and the promo poster from summerslam 91 but I would buy official mattel releases of them anyways.

Badass figure! Going to pose this with Davey Boy Smith and recreate the powerhouse WrestleMania VII match. That's what I did on my shelf. Nothing super fancy but I put him next to Bulldog |

Sorry for the Balor mixup, still re-learning all the sets I guess :-\ Thank you everyone for your responses. Ive been looking at the figures youve suggested and I'll be pre-ordering the DM Macho once I come home from work today. Warrior is still; up in the air for me and I can't decide lol I'll probably be the only one but I honestly love the Ultimate Maniacs DM Warrior and you can find him pretty much everywhere still |

There's no way to display loose with both shirt and jacket on, right? I'm keeping the jacket on this one and putting the shirt on B68 |

Just the pic or are these trunks legit the same as the BP with Punk? I feel like this needs to be more pink-ish

My issue with Booker is that until Harlem Heat they have never made an elite figure that I wanted. King Booker was entertaining but never wanted it and definitely do not think that character warrants two different releases. No desire for GM/Announcer Booker either. I'd buy a WCW TV Champ or a 5 x WCW Champion Booker in a second. If I see HOF Booker, I will leave him on the shelf just like I did every time I saw E14. **Side note** A DM of Booker on Raw 7/30/01 when he won his 5th title with five Big Gold Belts would be visually appealing. That's how I feel. I have no need for anything after his WCW run, but I would probably buy an NWO Booker. I would love a blue Harlem Heat maybe in a two pack if/when Stevie Ray is inducted in the HOF and then a battle pack of them in black as well would be awesome. |

BCA_Bawstud - Great job on the Warrior fix-up! It is always worth investing in, and I'm sure once you paint it that it will blend in perfectly. ellisd - Feel free to take your time. I'm in no rush.  braaaaaaaapp - I like the direction you took. I'm with you on Series 2 Warrior as my overall favorite. Series 1 Bret and HBK together are a fun pair. I probably would have went with Razor and Diesel, or Series 1 Undertaker and Series 3 Mankind, as a grouping which holds significance for me. I do wish my choices were as colorful as yours, though lol. The primary reason I went with my less-than-colorful bunch (besides Luna) was to showcase the four figures I personally rate higher than any others. Others that almost make the cut for me (again, when it comes to looking at them objectively): Superstars Series 9 Ministry of Darkness Undertaker (also: DTA Tour Series 2), Tag Team Series 1 Henry Godwinn, 2 Tuff Series 1 Chyna (also: Live Wire Series 1), 2 Tuff Series 2 Kurrgan, Ringside Collection Series 2 Jim Ross, and Ringside Collection Series 2 Honky Tonk Man. So many of mine that I reviewed in the past are mere percentage points above each other, and there are countless others I would make mention of if I were to truly compile a list of the Top 25 or 50. Honestly the ones you picked are probably the BEST figures they made so I can't fault you on that. I just went based on which ones meant the most to me. I got away from wrestling when the Attitude Era took off and that's like the heyday of BCA's so my choices were pretty limited to the first few series haha |

I would buy all of those but Evil Crush, Adam Bomb are two of my top 5 wants and Kona Crush is probably top 10 for me

So I come on this board every once in a while and I just saw this post and love the idea so I figured I'd participate. I'm not super knowledgeable with all the series numbers and names and stuff but here's my Mt. Rushmore of BCA's: 1) Blue Ultimate Warrior  This figure is probably my favorite action figure of all time to be honest, simply based on nostalgia. When I was a kid, there was nothing better than this for me. He won more titles than any other figure by far and was always involved in the main event. Then one day my uncle's dog ate it so I tried to do some surgery with my Survivor Series green Ultimate Warrior and British Bulldog but I ended up just ruining both of those as well. One of the worst days of my life. Then a few years later I was reading WOW Wrestling Magazine and saw an ad for wr3stlingsuperstor3 and they actually had it MOC for $75. That's what I asked my Dad for for Christmas and still have that one to this day. Crazy how much it was going for at the time! 2) Blue Shawn Michaels  This figure is still one of my favorites and when Mattel decided to make their version of it I was stoked. The BCA articulation made his Sweet Chin Music so easy to do perfectly. This figure was back and forth between the IC and World title picture but was always involved in a meaningful storyline. I still have the original version to this day. 4) Black Top/Pink Pants Bret Hart  This figure goes hand in hand with the blue Shawn Michaels for me. Maybe because they were feuding in real life at the time. Maybe because they were the top two faces in the company in real life at the time. Or heck, maybe because they came in the same 4 pack that I got haha, but they were always tied at the hip. Whether it be fighting over the IC, World, or even tag titles. I had the reverse of this Bret as well (pink top/black bottoms) but for some reason this one stood out more to me. Sadly, his leg popped off and I had to superglue it on so it doesn't move anymore, but I do still have this figure today as well. 4) Series 2 Owen Hart  So here's where they start to get tougher to rank. Part of me wants to put the green Ultimate Warrior here but for the sake of not having repeats I won't have him here. But his main rival was always Owen and they always feuded over the IC title. While the blue Warrior was on top, the green one wasn't as cool to me so he was in the mid-card picture. This Owen figure though is the only Owen figure I've ever had and still have to this day, and to me he was a ideal IC champ. Again, the BCA articulation made his spinning heel kick perfect to do. Honorable Mentions: Green Ultimate Warrior- Multiple time IC/Tag Champ  White Trunks British Bulldog- Multiple time IC/Tag champ  Legion of Doom- Multiple time Tag champs and Animal World champ  The Rock (plain black with "THE ROCK" in block lettering on back- Multiple time World Champ  Ahmed Johnson- Multiple time IC champ  And while I feel like I could go on forever (and kind of have sorry), I have to mention the S.T.O.M.P. Series Kane and LOD 2000 figures. When the extra stuff was removed and they were just in their wrestling attire I treated them the same as the BCA's and I had them at the same time so to me they go hand in hand. Kane was an upper mid-card guy for me and I'm sure was IC/Tag champ and probably even World a few times and LOD 2000 are probably my most decorated tag champs of all time, and each were also mega stars as singles guys as well. I love those figures for some reason haha.   |

So about two hours ago I checked the inventory tracker and saw that my local Target FINALLY stocked the HOF set. So as soon as I could I race across town to get Lawler & Booker. Got there and all they had was two Edge figures. So I ask a guy in electronics. And he gave me the typical, what we have out is all we have. He didn't even know how many was on the floor. Thanks... I suppose. So I find another lady to have her scan them. She was a lil bit more helpful. She scanned them and said, nope the 4 out are all we have. I told her there was only two out. She then walks me and my wife over to the toys cause she think we were looking in the wrong spot. Once she sees there is only two, she tries to tell me that they are assortment cases. And tells me that the Lost Legends Y2J was packed with them and that they have the same code. I know they don't. So then she tries to tell me they may have been stolen. You just got them in this morning and you've been open a half an hour. So she tells us to call in later. Which was code for... " I don't know s**t, bother someone else". I don't know how to react in situations like this anymore... I want to get mad and let her know that I know she's full of crap because I know how the come in, but at the same time I don't want to be "that guy". There's no point, especially when I visit that store frequently and see the same employees. |

I know we've done these lists 100 times before but they're always fun to do and read as well. I find it interesting how some people list tag teams as 1 and some people split them as 2 different rankings. I feel tag teams are 1 unless they can be split up and still work as individuals. For example, Twin Towers can be 1 or if you do not group them together then Akeem and Big Boss Man can individually be 1 each. True that, bro. That's how I do it as well. |

All of the figures below my Andy Dalton rule, which for me is X-PAC. Any figure I like more than him is a figure I like. Anything below him is a figure I bought to fill a gap or was part of an era that I collect so I felt obliged to buy it. All of those figures help complete my collection however and I'm happy I have them

That render is pretty spot on to a Mattel render... I would guess that this has to be at least in process on the most beginning stages. Although that Paul Bearer one makes me question its validity because I'm not convinced we'll see another/different Bearer figure, and if we did I'd assume it would be a Battle Pack with Taker/Kane/Mankind with a less pale face and blue suit. I just can't see them making a totally new mold for him. Here's to hoping I'm wrong though.
