Wrestling Toy Thread

bombidol

Had a quick search and didnt see a thread. If there is let me know and we can merge. I used to collect a LOT of wrestling related toys up till about 10 years ago. I was recently digging around in my mothers attic and found these. There are LOADS more unboxed and boxed that I will get around to photographing.

They sure are. I have a bajillion rings from WWF, WWE and WCW somewhere too. As well as hundreds of loose figures.

Think there was a thread, seem to remember Kane-n-nite or someone like that having a huge collection can't quite think of its handle though and as it's not been bumped for ages so this will do fine for now. Nice collection and welcome to the boards.ie PW

If you had this you had an awesome childhood. I used to love it!

those Hardy figures were the bane of my life when I worked in Smyths donkeys years ago, there was only 2 in a box and everyone wanted them, funny seeing how the figure likenesses have progressed over the years.

some of them figures are brilliant! am actualy on the lookout for any old figures of the undertaker or the nwo if anyones selling any.havent got many boxed figures myself but have hundreds unboxed and want to start collecting again

Very cool collection. I have always wanted to ask wrestling figurine collectors though what is the actual point of collecting them? Im not for one minute judging anyone who collects these figures or saying its right or wrong,only I struggle to understand the excitement or point is all. There seems to be tonnes of collectors around especially on youtube etc. I mean I totally relate to collecting say dvds as they actually have a more practical purpose obviously in that you get the hours of viewing entertainment. I gave it a thought once to maybe get into it but cant comprehend the idea of basically what seems to be just hoarding and stockpiling all these figures in their plastic or on the wall. There also doesn't seem to be an end in sight with all the different companies, series' and variations etc. Not to mind the money!

I was going to single them out too.

I had/have four of those guys; Rock, Jericho, HHH and Angle. They were easily the best ones I ever had. Aside from a weakness in their right leg that seemed to cause it to snap off easily, they were fantastic, in terms of flexibility and what you could do with them.

And yes, that means I never could be bothered keeping them boxed up. It was all about the playing with them for me

The WCW figures used to come with such **** extras. A water cannon???

Those RVD figures in the first post look hilarious to me Kinda looks like Billy Kidman, and one has weirdly shaped pecs.

I dunno to be honest, I just went mental for a few years and bought everything and anything. Now im getting around to taking pics of it all and getting it together to sell it all!

Only had Hall,Michaels and Bret Hart figures in the mid 90's,used to book them against the blue and green Power Rangers and the black Ghostbuster lad.Had a poundshop Doink knock off too,but his arms broke off the day I bought him.

Stopped playing with them when we got a Megadrive.
