I must be really old as I had no idea who Harley Quinn was until this post and a quick google 😀. Maybe you aren't old enough! I am 49 and know who Harley is, but then I am a huge Batman fan. The X-Men cartoon was good, but nowhere near as good as BtAS/TNBA, StAS or JL/JLU. I did like that it was a continuous story, but at times I didn't like the story and or the artwork. Of course it was 100x better than their original cartoons from the 60's/70's. Who can forget these theme songs? i sure can't. lol "When Captain America throws his mighty shield...All those who chose to avoid his shield must yield..If he’s lead to a fight and a duel is due...Then the red and the white and the blue’ll come through. When Captain America throws his mighty shield." "Doc Bruce Banner, Belted by gamma rays...Turned into the Hulk. Ain’t he unglamo-rays...Wreckin’ the town...With the power of a bull, Ain’t no monster clown...Who is as lovable...As ever-lovin’ Hulk! Hulk! Hulk!" "Spiderman, Spiderman, Does whatever a spider can...Spins a web, any size, Catches thieves just like flies..Look Out!Here comes the Spiderman. Is he strong? Listen bud, He’s got radioactive blood....Can he swing from a thread...Take a look overhead...Hey, there, There goes the Spiderman...". Although that Spider-Man cartoon was good. And I had that Spider-Man theme song on a record in the 70's. It was a Spider-Man origins story record. I used to listen to in while playing with my Mego Spider-Man. lol I'm 43, but not much of a comic collector anymore. I stopped probably around 1983 or so. I don't keep up on cartoons either. Unfortunately my kids were never really into superheroes for some odd reason, so I couldn't even keep up on them through that. It does look like a pretty cool character.

I still have my AWA Remco guys from when I was about 11 years old or so. I wouldn't call my self a collector back then though.
I honestly didn't start until Mattel made their first Ultimate Warrior and Road Warriors figures. So what ever year that was. I'm not a big collector as it is. I'm still only around 30 figures at this point as I only collect a handful of guys.
I do enjoy looking at people's collections along with visiting this board despite not being a huge collector.

People complained about that version of the Road Warriors, but that was the version I had wanted. That was my favorite of Hawk's facepaints. The only thing I would have liked more is if they had yellow writting on the tights instead of the red. I wanted that version the most as well. I was just disappointed in the size of Hawk's arms. Then once we got the Red LOD and they also corrected the size of Animal it made we wish they came out after the correction. I still want the AWA version with the spiked vests and AWA tag belts. Hopefully we will get a Paul Ellering since he is now in NXT.

Since I do not like these thread titles, I'm going to assume that when you say "loaded magnum" that you mean its in reference to the condom. You nasty. I think they mean the gun not a condom 😄

Those Road Warriors were my first Mattel purchase years ago at TRU. Great figs. I did have to change out Hawk's arms though due to how small they were. They did correct that issue in the Red LOD ones thankfully.

Some of those I don't collect, so I can't give an opinion on. The following I can:
Warrior - L6 or HOF Savage - L5 or HOF ( This is a Macho King fig that looks great) Undertaker - Elite 23 or Debut version ( sorry, I don't know the number on that one).

I am very particular about proportion & scale. As my DM surfer sting was quite an eyesore due to its massive torso and chicken legs, I felt compelled to modify it. End up using a LOD Hawk body with Animal's calves. Now it looks more balance and accurate in scale. Its still a WIP, hence the tights are unpainted yet. Lex looks really cool. That's the Lex I want to see them make next with the U.S. Title.

At GameStop in Chicago Ridge Mall they an Elite Kofi and an Elite Bret. I probably would of bought Bret, but I kind of want to buy Bret and Anvil at the same time. That is the first time I've seen Bret at retail though.

I picked other. I want to see Demolition or the Rockers rereleased. I passed on them the first time and regret it now. Hopefully they would fix Shawn's hair color as that is the reason I passed originally.

He's a nice guy, kind of quiet though. I met him a few years ago and had him sign some magazine covers that he was on, along with taking a pic with him. The magazines look awesome framed in my gym/mancave.

I like opening them. I do have a few MOC. I have zero intentions in keeping them that way, I just haven't gotten around to opening them as I only display about 10 figs at a time. When I want to make a change they sometimes get opened them depending on my mood. I do keep the boxes around for storage purposes.
It also really depends on how much room you have and how you like them to look. There is no right or wrong answer. Totally personal preference.

The only 90's team or at least what I would consider 90's is the Steiners for me.
All the other teams I want are 80's.

Wish we got these tights That or in yellow. I think IC tights is a must for a future Rude figure. I agree. I hope we get that one and WCW version.

If I remember awhile back someone working at Tru on Cicero told me all shipments come in Wednesday but they could be bsing Well I know where I'm going Wednesday. Even if it isn't true, I need to check. If you find the Legends Taker please let us know if Mattel corrected the purple. I've asked Ringside several times and they never answer it. I presume they haven't or they think it's a troll question or something. I would really hate to buy it again if the purple still looks blue. Thanks

I was very pleased with savage moc. I will be passing completely on warrior. I didn't need this team, but I must have every elite macho (except e23). I agree about Elite 23 Macho as well. I passed on that one as I just didn't care for it either.
