A few months ago, I thought about doing shows with mine and posting them here c-fed_style, but:

a) I don't have a digital camera
b) I don't have the time

Maybe sometime down the line...

Hey, you do it, and I'll help you write 'em, if you want.

You know, to make up for the fact that I said I'd do it a long time ago and never did.

I absolutely love the Hasbro figures. I think they're some of the best ever made. I have all of the Hasbro line, except for Andre and either of the Mr. Perfects. I also have the yellow Hasbro ring [with the flag and the belt :) ].

I remember getting the green carded series of the Hasbro figs (Yoko, Adam Bomb, 123 Kid, etc.) at a collector's show once when I was little. I had went with my grandparents, and they got me the set. I opened them up and played with them, etc. - and now they're worth like a fortune on the card :( However, looking back on it, I am glad I opened 'em, because at least I have the memories of using the figs, and I'd never sell 'em anyway :)

Also, to me, the other cool thing about the Hasbro figs was that they didn't get wear and tear on them [unless you absolutely played with them like a psychopath - like my friend, who smashed his together as if he were trying to break them]. I literally played with them every single day, sometimes for the entire day on weekends, and all of my Hasbro's are brand new [except for 2 Demolition figures that I bought used].

None of them are missing paint, none have any chips, etc.

Yea, I played with them for like 5 hours straight sometimes when I was little. I broke a few arms and legs though :shifty:

I jobbed Duggan so many times. haha

I think everyone stopped collecting before the green cards came out (including me :'()

I had the yellow tights mr perfect (I think the US version they released had blue) cause I got him in Florence, Italy.

I loved those figures, I even used to make up my own rankings for the world, ic, and tag title divisions.

Mr. Perfect became world champ many a times. He even beat Hogan if I remember correctly, heh.

I had the blue ring with the belt and flag.

Unlike KFM, mine had a lot of problems. Hulk Hogan lost a finger, Ted Dibiase lost a thumb, both of Rick Rude's arms fell off, as did one of Jake Roberts' and Smash's (fortunately, I had two Smashes, so the two-armed one got used and the broken one didn't), oh yeah and El Matador lost an arm, too.

I guess I was pretty rough on them.

You betrayers! When my toys lost limbs I still played with them! Like that Footsoldier who ironically lost his foot! I mean... after losing a leg he became a bigger threat than ever! :shifty:

loopydate
04-24-2005, 11:16 PM
Oh, I kept using 'em. Rick Rude became a martial arts expert when he lost the use of his arms. And Hogan could still press-slam someone with one less finger.

But while I waited for my mom to hot-glue somebody back together (which inevitable resulted in the body part falling off again anyway), I would push someone else up the card.

My best story ever involved the Berzerker and Papa Shango and a face-turn for Shango. Awesome stuff.

Rude was the only Series 1 guy I didn't have. :(

Oh and my Perfect wore Yellow.

I have a few still on card, i used to have over 50 still carded but sold the majority of them.

The only breakages that happened to my wrestling toys were that the spikes would snap off the LOD's shoulder pads. That and the gold paint all scratched off the little belt that came with the ring. Bret Hart won the WWF title as soon as I got the figure - and was undefeated until such times as I was made to give all my wrestling toys to the charity shop (grr!)

I had the blue ring with the flag and belt. A friend had it with the sound box, which was way cool - I really wanted that! There were loads of other figures that I wanted, and a friend of mine had (he was a little spoiled - whenever a new figure was released he'd cry to his mummy and he'd get it within a day, on one occasion he was bought about five figures :rant: yes, I was jealous! :lol: ). Razor Ramon, the Nasty Boys, the Rockers, HBK, Mr Perfect, Doink, Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart, Demolition, Ted DiBiase,Yokozuna to name but a few. I also really wanted the Hulk Hogan figure in the red singlet, red tights and yellow boots - but I believe this was a limited edition, mail order one.

Still I got a lot of enjoyment out of the toys I did have and I wish I still had them - not to play with necessarly :lol: but to have on display.

I didn't have any, If I ever get a few hundred dollars spare I'd love to buy all of the current WWE "action Figures" with the bending arms and legs, none of those stand in one shape that should hardly be called "Action" Figures.

It would be good to place a ring with a few wrestlers in it in a royal rumble-like model, it would look cool I think.

04-25-2005, 10:32 AM
I have loads of them up in my loft, about 3 big boxes worth. I would still play with them if I didn't feel guilty after :$

Got a couple of injuries, Macho King's arm broke off (:'( he was the first figure I got), LOD's spikes broke off their shoulder pads and Hollywood Hogan's leg broke off, but that was a new crappy figure. Red and Yellow Hogan lives on strong :cool:

I also have this mini Hulk Hogan and mini Iron Sheik who literally have holes in their asses for you to stick your finger up and use like a finger puppet or something.

Those were "Thumb Wrestlers." I have those, too. Plus, I have Hillbilly Jim and Big John Studd.

Those figures were awesome!!!

I still have mine on top of my wardrobe!

One thing that I hated was when, if you played with a friend and they would do a stupid splash from the top rope. That really fucked me off! I mean MY matches were masterpieces of technical wrestling full of ring psychology!

Anyway, I had...

2 Hogans
Duggan
LOD
Undertaker
Yokozuna
Doink
Earthquake
Typhoon
El Matador
Big Boss Man
Papa Shango
The Rockers
Shawn Michaels
Tatanka
Lex Luger
Mr. Perfect
Ric Flair
The Bushwackers
One of the Headshrinkers
2 Macho Mans
Jake the Snake
Ultimate Warrior
Brutus Beefcake
Koko B. Ware
Ricky Steamboat
Bret Hart
Roddy Piper
Bam Bam Bigalow
IRS
Warlord
Sgt Slaughter
Texas Tornado
Stenier Bros
Berzerker
and probably more that I can't remember.

I had the ring as well.

Another thing that annoyed me was when they stopped doing tag teams as dual sets and sold them seperatley for twice as much!! I was not a happy young man!!

I remember coming rond yours and getting them all out of the box after you had just put them all away.
Sorry dude :)

NoRoolz
04-25-2005, 03:07 PM
Yeah I have loads of them, and I have plenty of new ones too, well, like 2000 series. I even have a Batista and Brock Lesnar squidgy series, my bro got these about a year ago and it reminded me of old times so bad.

It's cool having a younger brother, because you can use him as an excuse for playing with them again :D. Even though I'm the one who mentions getting them out lol.

I always preferred playing alone though, because you can talk to yourself and things :cool:. And when you played with others you get annoyed at how the wrestlers can magically fly, and people like Earthquake can do moonsaults :roll: lol.

04-25-2005, 03:11 PM
-LOL I just looked in my box of figures, and the WWE title is round Triple H's waist, I don't even remember giving him the title! God damn Trips, even in the world of wrestling figures, Triple H still rules :(.
