The last wrestling figures I had were the WWF giant rubber ones.. man I loved those. The Rumblers look really fun, though... I might try to start picking them up  Sold off most of my rubber guys. Saved Savage, Jesse Ventura, & Hogan |

Right now I've the only wrestling figures I own are a handful of Micro Impact TNA figures I got as a gag gift from my wife. But I think I'll be picking up some Hasbro Legends here soon.  This from the guy who has the Dusty Rhodes figure as his avatar.  I haven't posted the results yet, but I was this close || to having to change it to a Stevie Richards figure. I don't know if those even exist! |

I don't know if those even exist! There's a few Stevie Richards figures. I remember the Right to Censor one from back in the day and how the prototype looked a lot different than the one that got released. |

That was a good angle... RTC. Too bad Stevie never got another push.

Not gonna go out and start collecting the members of my roster... Mainly because I don't like my chances of finding a DJ Peterson or the Armstrongs (beyond Brian).

Don't think I don't appreciate it. So, anyone got any love for the TNA figures from Jakks? |

Jakks figures are terrible. Overly muscular, few body types, scale is non existent. Their UFC figures are good, but the TNA figures are god awful.

I picked up the classic Sting figure. He looks great and looks good with the WWE figures on the shelf.
The UFC guys have a LOT of joints, so they look kinda different, but gotta show love for my favorites. I have a few of the Round 5 guys (Wanderlei Silva, Rich Franklin, Tito Ortiz, & Chuck Liddel) who look really cool.

I love the Round 5 MMA figures. I've seen them at K-Mart and Toys R Us a number of times, but never the figures of fighters that I wanted. Wasn't a big list of people I wanted, either: Big John, Gina Carano, Wanderlei, Big Nog, Lesnar, GSP, Rampage, Matt Hughes.

Bought the TRU Exclusive pack of Rumblers yesterday, along with the Punk / R-Truth 2-pack (just to get Punk in the orange outfit). Pretty cool little guys. They remind me of the ads for WWE Kids magazine.

I got a subscription to WWE Kids Magazine for my friends son and the issues definitely have those types of characters on it's covers and inside regularly. And, even though adult collectors are buying these toys, they are ultimately aimed at that age group.

Jakks figures are terrible. Overly muscular, few body types, scale is non existent. Their UFC figures are good, but the TNA figures are god awful. Say what you will about Jakks (and I had plenty of complaints with their WWE line), they still had more hits than misses with the Classic Superstars line. Mind you, when they missed they missed big. I believe they use a better quality plastic than Mattel, and it holds the facial details a little better as far as I can tell. The only TNA figures I've seen in person where the "Ruthless Aggression" style I saw at Walgreens around Christmas. At that all they had was Jay Leathal, so I can't really speak to the quality of Jakks TNA stuff. I do like the Mattel Legends and you can really tell the people at Mattel have gone the extra mile to make sure all of the details and outfits are exact, though. I haven't seen any real glaring omissions or errors yet. |
