This was the essence of excellence of excecution. Am I the only person that read each move with Lord Alfred Hayes's accent?

June thats all fine its just multiples but if your gonna try Martel as a example thats to many different ties , Model , Can Am , Strike Force ect . IMO Haku is one of the best sculpts Jakks ever did Martel is a tough one, because I loved the early days of the Model gimmick, but he held tag gold in Strike Force, and was enroute to it with Can Am Connection. My impulse is to go with Can Am Martel just to include Tom Zenk into my streamlined collection.

It's insane that anything Jakks can be considered better . Don't get me wrong , the Jakks LOD are great figures but the Mattel ones blow them away . In the AWA that's what hawk and animal looked like they where young and built like monsters . So I belive the bodies are far superior to Jakks . Are they perfect ? No , nothing really is , but miles better than Jakks . They actually have a height difference , as for the scans they are perfect for that era . (Mattel) but the Jakks heads aren't too bad either always thought the Jakks Animal head didn't look like him as much as the Hawk head did . I agree, Hawk was wafer thin in the AWA, and Animal was mega ripped.

I watched Trips vs Steiner from the Rumble in 03, and was thinking how cool, and different a Triple H figure from that event would be. I don't recall jakks making a red trunked Triple H.

Steiner would need a unique torso and bicep mold, I can see them using the inaccurate Triple H, or Ryback singlet molds for Steiner figures, and that would make them suck.

Here are some examples I my dilemma: -Jesse "The Body" Ventura Color Commentator or Wrestler? -Don Muraco Heel or Babyface? -Tito Santana This ones a bit tricky, because since I'm stretching this to 92, I can include my El Matador custom to the pic below -King Haku or Haku & Tama "The Islanders"

It's hard for me to make exceptions, because I keep trying to make them for others, like having Strike Force because they were champs, and then still having Tito as IC champ, and Martel as the Model.

I'm a collector, but sometimes feel like a hoarder, especially considering the fact that as a customizer I started getting carried away with the idea of having the same superstar in various outfits, including obscure attires. Long story short, I'm in the process of streamlining, and I have struggled with the idea of having just 1 of each superstar in my collection, which is tough considering the time period of my collection 84-89 possibly to 92.
Issues I have are :
Adorable Adrian Adonis Jesse "The Body" Ventura Don Muraco Greg Valentine Brutus Beefcake Haku Andre the Giant (face or heel) Haku Shawn Michaels Macho Man (face or heel)
I'm sure there are many many more examples, I'd love to see some more, and also hear opinions, and suggestions.

It sucks looking at what's leaving, but admiring what's staying puts me at ease.

Gotta go with Eddie, even though the head is a bit small, the shirt alone wins it.

Carlito was the first jakks fig I ever purchased, I was a huge fan of his character when he debuted and when I saw this figure at target I just had to have it, soon there after I added my 1st classic superstar (Bobby Heenan) followed by Batista in maroon tights, and the big show in this set. Great memories.

But Mattel has accurate boots and and forarm pads, so that instantly makes their version superior.

The pencil arms are the biggest issue I have with orton figures.

I encountered a scalping target manager today, but it was not wwe related. For a year now I have been searching retail doll sections for Elsa dolls from the movie Frozen, to no avail.
Today they were putting items on the shelves, the stockers were putting the frozen dolls on the shelves and I got pumped when I saw a few Elsa's on their cart and as if on que some manager chick comes up to them and tells them they are not to put any of "those" on the shelves, I simply grabbed the toddler Elsa and the Barbie sized Elsa and put them in my cart, the manager said those are not for the flirt and they are only selling these "Ana" and Olaf.
When I went to check out they would lot allow the transaction. Total BS!
