So tough to pick in this round, 3 really strong contenders.
3. Brutus Beefcake - jacket, shears that move, and a bow-tie along with a great outfit and scan make this a winner.
2. Volkoff - sweater and cap, and a burly body and spot on angry ugly scan make this a strong #2.
1. Orndorf - what can I say other than this figure is truly wonderful? Love the robe, and the white attire, head is spot on and the body is appropriately ripped.

Loving it big time, it's all come together, would be nice to see a birds eat interview area for mean gene. Makes me wish I would've gone the glossy route with my background.

It was hard to get out, I was upset that the guardrail did not have the causation sticker, my nephew has one too and his also did not have that decal.
The minute I saw this display, I knew I needed it.
The Dr Doom is a select, I had to have the display stand, I plan on getting a legends version, but trying to decide in which.

They have them stashed for now, no way did they produce more Arn's than Tully's. It's not good business to release both simultaneously, so they listed Arn first and created a market for Tully, and the belt that comes with him.

But on second thought, the mattel ring is too childlike looking and does not give off the professional al look of the jakks scale rings.

I did not mean it as a slight, I just recommended going with a smaller ring to make room for larger announce area and crowd section.

You should go with the mattel tribute ring, due to space limits

One of the freebirds I believe, the one that wasn't hayes or gordy Buddy Roberts used a cw torso and thinner arms than this regal figure

Fantastic showing, June! An Lugers in the works? How about Muta/Gary Hart? Luger is in the back row, gotta redo his hair. He's in pink tights and white boots. Definitely want to get to work on a new Muta, not really liking the one I did years ago, may look into visiting Big Evil Johns headshop for a Muta, and Butch Reed since doom is needed.

The original poster is not too far off from most of the offers I receive in the classified section here.

For the past couple years I've focused soley on the WWF, but after watching the new Great American Bash DVD set, I have decided to dust off my badly neglected NWA collection. Some of of these are WIPs. I plan on working on these in the coming weeks. In the spirit of the NWA, I'd love to see some of your favorite NWA figs, and even better your collections.

Piper gets my vote. There was something about it that I always liked. This fig was great, and came with key accessories, his microphone, removable kilt and of course the IC title, what bothered me was the fact that we still did not have a ring gear Piper, Since the LJN, and Hasbro versions each had sculpted/painted on shirts.

3 perfect figures in this set:
JYD Duggan Santana
My vote goes to JYD, love the chain and collar, the scan, and iconic attire.

I think I have just re-written a bit of WWF history.
Rather than have Lucious Johnny appear as a jobber, or manager of the 2nd rate Dream Team, I'm going to have him lead the Original Dream Team.
Since there will be no Brutus "the Barber" Beefcake in my display, and since Piper will be a heel (as he should be) that pretty much makes flamboyant Adorable Adrain Adonis obsolete in that gimmick, which allows Dick Murdoch into my display along with the biker version of Adonis.
Now the tough decision of The Genious over Leaping Lanny Poffo.

I like the one where the fan is up close and personal with the entering wrestlers.

Has anybody ever tried to do a fix on repo man? like maybe smash arms on him so he doesn't have the coat arms? Thats one of the first fixes ever saw, never tried it, because I hate torso splits.
