anyone here collect wrestling figures

kentonbomb

well i have nearly 40 but IMO the Classic Superstar ones are the best i have Honky Tonk Man, Rick Rude, Sensational Sherri, DDP, LJN Austin and Demolition, I Don't know if anyone read the article in the WWE Magazine (The One with Lashley, Cena and Taker on the cover) with a guy called Tim Ash, His Collection is Amazing, I Buy my Collection out of Wrestling-Mania in St.Stephen's Green S/C in Dublin, What about you, who do you have?

P.S: If you don't like Wrestling Figures don't come here and Bash other people and say '' Figures are For Babys'' or something like that, if you don't like this thread don't write in. simple

i dont collect them but theres a few of the classic superstars i wouldnt mind having,i do still have a mint hardy boyz WWF two-pack from around when wrestlemania 16 was on,this one: i might stick it on ebay cos its just sitting on a shelf

i don`t collect them or anything but I used to have a JYD figure when I was a kid... Now that was cool!:D

krudler

i did used to have all those old ljn versions the ones that had "slamming action!" which mean hogans hands went up and down when you squeezed his feet,now those were toys!

I've never owned any, but my mate had a Randy Savage figure that I thought was cool, he had a big bulge coming out of his back so you could press down on it and make him do the elbow drop. Looked really stupid but it was cool all the same

I think it was the Ultimate Warrior actually. You could press him down and make it look like he had short legs

Back in the day, around 1990ish I guess, the figures they used to have were twice the size and they weren't made out of the shiny plastic stuff today, they were made out of some sort of hard plasticine or mala.

Anyway, all I ever wanted when my mam would come back from town would be a Hulk Hogan one. I never got one but I had like 3 Hacksaw Jim Duggan ones which frustrated me greatly at the time. I've hated Jim Duggan ever since!

My brother has a couple of hundred has probably been collecting for over ten years from classics to current

I actually remember having one of those which was a lot like Hulk Hogan but I can't remember if it was a real one or one of those fake knock-offs.

I only have one wrestling figure and it's of The Rock. It's from the WWF days and he's wearing a 'Know Your Role' t-shirt.

I'd say it was the real thing. If it was a fake knock off I probably would have got one!

I still have that one someplace was it a rubber one with red pants and white boots? sadly mine only has one boot though cause in fairness those figures where fairly chewable

At first I wanted to make fun of this thread, but then I remembered that over ten years ago I had a Hulk Hogan and an Ultimate Warrior, both of which could body press, a Macho Man that could Double Axe Handle, and a Jake Roberts that could Short-Arm Clothesline. I have no idea where they are now. I'd love to find them again.

Anybody know any stores that sell TNA wrestlers in Ireland? I'm in Tipp and they are not to be fouond on the shelves anywhere I've tried. I think Forbidden Planet in Dublin sell them but that's a bit far to go for rasslers!
I got the first four series off the internet but shipping costs can be crippling from most sites. I wouldn't mind being able to pick them up off the shelves myself.

being honest here, i'm only a babby (13). i collected loads of wrestlers about 6 or 7 years ago, i had every one i could find in Smyths, back when they were 8 quid a pop.
none are in their packaging but i realised the other day that wrestlers could be worth something someday, so i bought the Honky Tonk Man and Mr. Kennedy wrestlers and im gonna keep them in their packets and wait and see.
id say of the one i had collected a few years ago, id maybe have about 50/60 alot of them in perfect condition and i also had one of those hogan ones with the hands going up and down when you squeeze his legs that the other guys are talking about

Not really a fan of them usually, but the new TNA 12" Collectors Series has really caught my eye. There not out yet, but the detaile on them is amazing. Christian Cage and AJ Styles will be the first on my list.
