Wrestling Figures Thread

Didnt know they did this every few months. Will try keep an eye on it.

Generally, the older a series of figures gets, the less Smyths want it gathering dust on their shelves, so will gradually discount it until it's at giveaway pricing.

You'll notice a lot of the figures that are cheap and cheerful can be had easily on most store's shelves. Macho Man is a great rassler, and popular, but there's just too many of his figures around, so the Mega Maniacs one has been sitting on shelves for months (hence it's now €3).

I snapped up the Attitude Era Big Boss Man for €28 when I seen him first, assuming there'd be no chance of getting him again, but it looks like he may end up in the €10 pile soon, too (typically enough, the Retro version of him is nowhere to be seen, and i didn't go for that one! bah!).


I haven't bought figures in years, but have been getting drawn into certain figures on shelves, but will only buy them at discounted prices. the guts of €30 per figure is too rich for me, as they are pretty much ornamental shelf pieces to me, and I have most of them in Jakks form anyway.

That said, I did fully expect the Mattel Elite Dudley Boys would still be sitting on shelves at €3 each, and unfortunately no such luck. Would have happily paid €10 each for them, but they disappeared from my local Smyths before ever going under €23-24. Would've like them, but not for €50!

Smyths and their feckin' sales. Haven't seriously bought figures in years.





Mind you, 8 figures for €31 including postage is pretty decent!
