If your shooting for early 93, Bossman faced Bam Bam at the 93 Rumble, his last PPV till he left for wcw Every time wwe and 93 are mentioned together, the first thing the comes to my mind is this CurrentlyI have him in the 1990 display, but I want to get a network spotlight bossman and put the new elite corporate boss mans head on it. I feel like that sculpt looks kinda like the 92-93 era. ;Exactly what I'm gonna do. Gonna add extra hitman jacket and ball cap he used to wear. Love the new face. |

Is it just me or is my 93 collection in desperate need of some Stiener Brothers? If your a fan of this era who would you add to the roster Mattel has given us so far? Tatanka will go nice with this era. Owen,Headshrinkers, smoking gunns would be cool too.  Here is the full shelf  I want the steiners wwf way more than wcw. Really want these. Still want Crush, headshrinkers, Owen.& Mountie. You can add long haired piper up there if you want...white million dollar man instead of black suit. Goldust is coming, I'd like Warrior from this time too (even though we have enough of him for now). |

LOL I was just teasing. I get how cool the fig looks in the box - cuz that part goes right back to childhood. BUT just like childhood - I can't WAIT to open it. Like if I score, and get 3 figs (which is rare) I'll open one and save the rest...I open my figs when I bummed, to cheer myself up. Still though, I just WANT to open them. I just don't need two of each toy. I love the boxes cuz you can just stick them back in if you wanna display them that way, anyways. But don't forget - I'm Chevy Chase and you're not.  Haha I don't understand the Chevy chase reference but I have always loved that guy. But, usually when I buy a figure to keep moc I don't also buy one to have loose. I only keep my personal favorite wrestlers/attires moc and then I buy the another version for my son to have as a toy. I only like to have one version of the wrestler/gimmick moc and another version loose. Sometimes there is not an acceptable alternate attire so I buy two of the same, one loose and one moc (example Harlem heat). Please explain the Chevy chase reference....I feel like I'm completely missing the obvious When he was Anchor an SNL, he closed weekend update always with the phrase "I'm Chevy Chase and your not" instead of saying 'I'm so and so, have goodnight or thanks for watching'. I used the quote to mean your you and I'm me. Well all like different things etc, etc. |

The siliness of MOC 'colleecting'. Jebus, I have a hard enough time finding a FIG without QC issues...imaging worrying about THE BOX? LOL I don't understand you guys It's real tough. As you said with QC issues, the box must be mint too. It's a bother...but I am one of those guys. Seems like you understand me with everything but this,.. I am a moc and loose collector both LOL I was just teasing. I get how cool the fig looks in the box - cuz that part goes right back to childhood. BUT just like childhood - I can't WAIT to open it.

I'd buy his last appearance... in wwe with the white jacket. Loved that gimmick. THE Brian Kendrick LMAO - dude's awesome. I loved the way he did whatever on the way to the ring. That druggie dance he dis was hilarious. Especially with Big Zeke behind him...that should have gone on longer. So did he stop being a pot head to have come back to wwe?

Outside of the heads that were FAR too calm to represent these 2 stars,I loved everything about these figures when I saw them for the first time years ago. Really sad I didn't hang on to the Warrior though. His attire looks so damn good. I sold mine too. I was just gonna have one of each guy but then...later on I regretted it. Got him back on the bay just before the prices went up. |

I don't love that warrior,....but I do love that duster and his knee pads THIS. Post match duster for a relaxed and just chillen, sittin on the couch Ultimate Warrior lol This fig is all f'd up lol but Glad you got it. I'm glad to have it regardless of the flaws. This is still imo the best match ever. I never seen anything like it. The REAL emotion they got out of that crowd and everyone at home...never seen that before and never will again. This is wrestling on ALL levels at it's finest. A flawless execution. I mean they ALWAYS show the same clip of the homly chick cryin and then that nerdlinger ballin his eyes out but the sad thing that was everyone lol This is why Naitch can suck it in my opinion. That phony ass 'I love you' crap with HBK. Nah man THIS IS REAL EMOTION...but remember, Warrior didn't know how to work though... |

You think Vince still hates a guy who's dead just for a no sale on his last match anyways ALL these years later. Seriously? So much that he wouldn't make money off his dead ass? Why waste time hating a guy for that. I doubt it. For all the good he does, he's an incredibly vile and proud man. I agree it's probably far fetched but not impossible. He still hates a lot of 80s guys for pretty silly reasons Like who? When was the last time you and Vince talked lol ;P |

I suppose it's best to just keep updating one thread so I'll put all my WIP's here. Thanx for lookin and lemme know if any details are wrong on them - thanks. 12/4/16 not sure about the hair on Sid(s) yet... Still gotta paint ddp's finger tape  Updated 1998 SS Taker...I glossed the hair to give it that wet look but I'm not sure how it looks. I was also thinking of glossy some of the guys boots. I always remember the shininess of their boots...can it be replicated? We'll see... Oh gotta an eyebrow to fix I see lol Bulldog is just a test...still workin on him. gonna use decals for the sock line and I need another set of kneepads for him. And working on skin tone color...  TNA Hogan and Rumble 92 Piper...need a new brush to finish piper's boots.  |

Meeeeee too. I'll take 1989 to the first half of 1994 WCW over WWF any day. In small isolated pieces WWF had better things sometimes, but as a whole, that entire time of WCW I really enjoyed. Once Hogan came in, I was over it. It just had a nicer charm about it. Exactly ! Imo, WCW had better home grown and all around better talent. I wanted to be a wrestler so bad after I about 7 years old ... I set a goal and accomplished it, but when WCW went under, I think my ultimate goal ended. I'm not being conceited, but I think I would have made it through the power plant and hopefully could have at least made it to WCW main show, if just a jobber, but once WWE bought it ... I pretty much said f*ck it now. I hated to see WCW go ... The Hogan Era is best 84-93. 2nd is WcW in the nWo stage...it's basically WWF part 2. In Quality, I'd rank WcW 3rd. A/E comes in at 4th on mylist (it's of the times and while it had BIG stars, looking it back it's filthy and silly) for 5...I dunno never watched ECW and WWF's 'New Generation' was just sad. TO hell with it, I'll give it to early TNA - when Angle owns every belt! lol |

Although it doesn't matter now, back when you could only get classic tag belts with Arn and Tully, I suggested Strike Force w belts released as Elites. That way ppl could get the belts with figs that probably had low demand. And the figs would have had low deco, so they wouldn't have taken much from the budget for the rest of the wave. But too late now. Again, in a perfect world we'd get Strike Force with titles and headbands amd jacekts as a set. I'm surprised RSC doesn't put out (god forbid!!!) a poll for an exclusive tag team set. Probably be too pricey for anyone outside the us though... 'Girls in cars...I love girls in cars, girls in cars' ...so awesome. I Always hated how they waited SO long to get to their feud that is was moot at that point - but I did love the way tito and martel always carried their history with them. Like any survior series or rumble or tag match or battle royal etc etc THEY always had a reason to fight...loved it. Don't get it twisted though, Tito vs Martel for the wwf title would have been GREAT. Probably an all time classic. IF Tito was who Vince was gonna put the belt on (before Bret got the spot), it wouldn't have had maybe the same attraction to younger viewers but match wise - it could have great. I would have liked that just fine. Tito had such history. Everyone forgets HOW good Tito was (flawless, impeccable), it made sense to put the belt on him - unless you were changing it up. I'm down for SF and I'm down for another model and I'm down for an el matador. If you could switch hair on tito and martel - then put the tito head on fernando's body and just paint martel white, that'd be great. Just decal the red lightening bolts and BAM! Strike force (with yet another Tito)...and El Matador. |

2. I agree with no but I still think releasing martel - even if he is 1 in the case MIGHT help clear out some titos. I mean you see BOTH sitting on the shelf and BAM there's STRIKE FORCE bayaby! Add to that Tito's on clearance by then haha..might be sweet deal to some. 4. No demand? It's hercules all over the place. Ever since I've been collecting these figs I've seen wants for hercules on here. Plus he hasn't had a figure since ljn. I'll take TWO! Herc in blue and Power & glory version (SICK tag team they were). Merci beaucoup. Let me clarify, among adult collectors who never got a jakks Hercules, the demand is very high. In a retail market, there is none. He has never been acknowledged on wwe in the last 20+ years at all. Casual fans/kids literally have no clue who he is. And like I said his last televised appearances was getting squashed by Sid which he no sold and go up and walked out of the ring after a Powerbomb. It's a long time ago but I'm sure Vince still hates him. You think Vince still hates a guy who's dead just for a no sale on his last match anyways ALL these years later. Seriously? So much that he wouldn't make money off his dead ass? Why waste time hating a guy for that. I doubt it. |

1. More Rockers. Only one release from way back at the beginning of the line. With all their alternate attires, there should at least be a battle pack. 2. Strike Force Rick Martel. I lust for this figure. I would love an elite with a Strike Force t-shirt but I'd settle for a battle pack. 3. Bob Backlund. I don't care if it's 80's or 90's, hair or bald, so long as he has his towel. 4. Hercules. I'd love Power & Glory but since Roma seems unlikely, I would settle for heel Hercules with the chain. 5. Greg Valentine. As Gorilla Monsoon might say, he's "conspicuous by his absence" from the line. 1. Yes 2. Prob not, Martels more popular gimmick sold poorly and Tito is the same attire rotting 3. Yes 100% 4. No demand and left on awful terms 5. Yeah probably they are running out of 80s mid carders to make 2. I agree with no but I still think releasing martel - even if he is 1 in the case MIGHT help clear out some titos. I mean you see BOTH sitting on the shelf and BAM there's STRIKE FORCE bayaby! Add to that Tito's on clearance by then haha..might be sweet deal to some. 4. No demand? It's hercules all over the place. Ever since I've been collecting these figs I've seen wants for hercules on here. Plus he hasn't had a figure since ljn. I'll take TWO! Herc in blue and Power & glory version (SICK tag team they were). Merci beaucoup. In a perfect world, I'd make a DM Hercules. I guess from his only big moment when he was sold to dibiase (the sale of him originally to bobby heenan is one of the funniest things ever. Slick and Bobby going to the bank - if you've never seen it, it's GREAT. They're both hilarious. So I'd cave in and have him in black trunks, his big ass chain, and andre like hair oeace to give him him the longer hair and a rubber gladiator gear to put over him for the older look. Like Andre, the boots would be wrong...but I'd buy 2, paint the boots and writs tape(?)on one - blue tights on the other, and have both versions anyways lol I wants the crapout of Hercules, wife beater or not lol eh.... |

The only one i dont want is the strike force martel. Although i would like it to happen for others collections Personally i want the model again in pink or blue And i hope rockers hbk wins that dm poll I'd actual love (but don't think they'd ever make) a blue model. ONLY if it came with the sweater though!! Pink would be a good repaint if they do another lost legends line. without the jacket though to cut costs. I'd buy it, too. |
