I like it the way it is now. If they didn't do Flashbacks I would pay even less attention to what is coming out than I do now as I don't collect current guys.

That Mankind is based off the time he ate chocolate donuts with JR in a backstage segment. That's totally accurate!
In all seriousness that does stink when they are $20 a pop. Just when I thought their QC lately has been getting better.

I picked up a DM Macho Man at a Walmart in Shorewood, IL. this morning. There were 2 left at the time. And yes, I immediately reported this to the Illinois Findings board. Damn. I just drove by there yesterday and didn't check the board obviously. I'm sure there gone now, so I'll check closer to the Chicago area later this week.

When I saw the title of this thread I got really excited Now I'm so disappointed I want none of these Me too. What a misleading title. I thought it was for Superstar Billy Graham.

1985 era Road Warriors would be my choice that they will probably never make. With the Animal lawsuit and that look not being their most well known. I would love it. As the spiked vests are just as iconic for me as the shoulder pads. Maybe throw in a Paul Ellering as well.

Target in Crestwood has nothing. Section is getting really small. Almost not even worth going here.

I'm on the WCW train. Would like to see more from that era. For me though it's not the usually guys. I want to see more luchadores. Psicosis or Juvi with masks. A WCW Eddie would be cool as well with the singlet look.

Walmart in Bridgeview has Elite 47.5. They had 2 Rock, 1 or 2 Kane, 1 Goldust, 1 of each Asension and 1 Pillman which I bought.

NWA black shoulder pad Road Warriors for me. I remember reading that WWE switched from Jakks to Mattel and those were two of the figs shown. Since they are my favorite team of all time I had to buy those. Still two of my favorite figs despite the Red pad version having more accurate molds.

Probably finding the NWA Road Warriors at TRU or both Kerry Von Erich figs at Kmart discounted to $5 or something ridiculous low like that.

Berserker has been a want so I'll pick that one up at some point. One of those wrestlers you just knew would look good in fig form and Mattel didn't disappoint.

I only own the Wolfpac Sting, but I voted the NWO Macho Man fig. That one looks really great and I do regret not buying it somewhat. The others I don't collect.

I only collect Legend wrestlers that fall into my top 10 of favorites. Put it this way I've been collecting since Mattel took over in 2010 and I only have 45 figs. I have zero interest in collecting every wrestler or any modern figs. I don't even display all 45 at once. I currently have 10 displayed which is the most I've ever had displayed. Usually it's only 4 or 5. I'm not into the Congo line displays. Too cluttered and nothing really stands out. Obviously everybody is different and there is no right or wrong way to collect or display. I like that you stick to your rule - out of curiosity I would love to know the 45 that made the cut - any pics of your set up? No pics at the moment. Unless you go to my IG page @prowrestlingmagsandphotos. The 10 that I collect are Warrior, Sting, Savage, Undertaker, Rude, Lex, Kerry, Hawk, Animal and Hulk. I originally bought a few others as well that I have pics of but I ended up giving those to my kids. A few I even sold like the latest Papa Shango.

At the end of the day there toys. I'm not going to overpay for them unless it's like $5 or something.
If there is a fig from the past you really want you just need some patience and you will find it for a normal price eventually. Might be an Indy show or EBay.

Out of that list I'd go with Summerslam 89 and WCW debut.
Another huge want for me is the yellow singlet he wore against Flair. There's quite few pics of that match of him wearing that. I know many don't like the singlet look, but some of those were really cool.

I haven't been in college since 1993 but the reason I never got into the Hasbro guys was I felt too old and didn't want people seeing me collecting action figures. People always knew I was into wrestling and that was an never an issue, but I didn't want people think I collected toys. Obviously everybody is different and you could do what you want. I personally would put it on hold.

Surfer Sting, Rude, OWN and the Steiners would top the list. Maybe on Ellering and RNR.

I'd like to see 1989 WCW US title with Lex or 92 WCW US version with Rude.

I personal wouldn't buy any of those, but I can see why people would want the NWO version made. That would probably be the most likely out of that list as well.
