Who here likes to play with wrestling action figures?
I grew up with Hasbro's WWF figures. I had a bunch of Jakk's Bone Crunchers and collected Jakks from Titan Tron Live through their present TNA offerings. Mattel's WWE line are the best wrestling action figures I've seen to date. What say you? |

I got my start in wrestling figures bashing the hands of my best friend with those big rubber LJN figures.They weren't much for playability, but still fun.
I collected Hasbro too. Never did get very many, but I did have the ring with the belt and the flag. I'd pretty much use whatever figures I had as wrestlers. Also collected Jakks, some of the bone-crunching stuff, more so when they got going with the Classics and Deluxe lines. I haven't really gotten into collecting the stuff from Mattel, but their figures look SO good, and their in scale too. It's hard not to collect. I'm sure I'll cave. |

I'm pyched for the new Randy Savage figures on the way.
With Hogan appearing in All Stars do you think he'll make it into the Mattel line? What about Andre? The classic ring was cancelled but maybe an All Stars 2 pack? |

Had the LJN figures when I was younger. Found Hogan and Andre at a Flea Market for 10 bucks and couldn't pass.

I have most of the Hasbro you speak of, all of the bendies from the mid 80's, some thumb wrestlers from mid 80's, quite a few "Classics". So ya....I like wrestling figures!
I recently got the 'Classic ''Ring Entrances' Macho Man at K-mart. Been waiting awhile for them to get over thier dispute and finally release a Randy Savage 'Classics' figure! |

definitely loved the Classic Superstars line, didn't like the Legends Of The Ring line so much, was psyched for a Sting figure but it wasn't the one I wanted

I have a question for you guys. I can't stand wrestling and wrestling toys but thats for another thread. If I look at the aisles TRU has a whole aisle for wrestling figures that don't seem to sell (or atleast they are restocked constantly) target and walmart similiar story. but just by looking at that wrestling figures would be selling twice as much as Star Wars and GI Joe combined. Do these figures have that big a following?
