I played with these wrestling figures everyday, and long after the series ended, and I had a great fricking time...💯✔ Bret Hart was my favorite wrestler...👍🏼

I know today’s figures are MUCH more detailed, but to me these captured the characters so well. They were cartoony but got the character expressions so good.

We never had this as they were too expensive for us back then. So what we would do is use some cheap He-Man & the Masters of the Universe action figures to play wrestling. We even made the ring ourselves.

Very creative! If you can't afford, make do with what you've got and your imagination is endless! 👍 We had these figures in the U.K. too in the 90's and they cost about £6.99 ($8) each new but we managed to find them second hand with a second hand ring so we got lucky. I probably had about 8 in total but now I see the value of them has gone up.

[@TombstoneChris]

I have all these. And I may be 37 but I still have a figure fed and I use these against the brand new ones from Mattel. It's like two different companies but they compete against each other. You may get old but that doesn't mean you have to stop having fun.

I didn't know they made these in the form of current wrestlers like "The New Day", and attitude era wrestlers like Kane. I remember the big rubber LJN figures as a kid, but the Hasbro figures are the one's I remember the most. I had the ring as well. I didn't have all the figures I wanted, but I remember putting He-Man, Ninja Turtles, and Ghost Busters in the ring against wrestlers.

Lol yes. I also had a Batman figure from the 1989 Batman film to add to the mix 🤣

[@doomedhuh]

Papa Shango, El Matador, Bezerker, Repo Man, AND Ric Flair were actually all out of the WWF by the time their figures came out. I don't remember finding any of those until fall or near christmas time of '93. In the height of the line it was always easy to get Hulk Hogans, Macho Mans, and Ultimate Warriors, but in 93 it was hard to find any Bret Harts or Undertakers, even though they had figures.

[@imawakeareyou7082]

Titan Sports made the best WWF figures go look them up, what a Christmas that was for all the boys across the World that year. Kids today will never understand what toys and bikes meant to us, so glad i experienced that.

​@@FigureCollections hey can you get a singed WWE figures without the box

[@johntziannis1134]

These were really big back when i was in elementary school. That's when i started watching wrestling. My favourite was the Ultimate Warrior (with white trunks). Back in the day the toys were better and so was the wrestling. I miss that era.

[@johntziannis1134]

@Shaun Isaacs I beg to differ.

[@johntziannis1134]

@Shaun Isaacs They were better considering the technology they had back then... They were ahead of their time. I am not just talking about wrestling figures. I am an 80s and 90s kid and used to own a lot of toys. I have seen the toys they stock today and they don't even come close.

[@viciousblissvideos]

Used to fanatically try to chase these down. Even in a major metro area and checking Toys R Us and some other places on an almost weekly basis, some of these guys were impossible to find. Tornado, Purple Warrior, Owen, Yoko, Koko, Crush, Borga, Adam Bomb, LOD, Nastys, 123, Smoking Guns, and Nailz,. I had to order the ones I really wanted from those through Figures Inc in '95. TRU would get these in waves and after a few weeks, you'd never see the figures again. That was especially true around the end of '92 when they had Bret, Bulldog, Undertaker, and whatever from that wave. Never saw em again after the initial release. Someone I knew somehow got the purple Warrior and Tornado. The only time the figures were plentiful was when series 1 and 2 were new. Even Dusty and Andre were easy to find. Everyone wanted the LOD figures but none of us could find em. Really great line of figures but a real pain to collect. Thanks for the video!

[@brophymusprime593]

Damn. I had the LOD figures. I collected but was only like 4-5 years old. We lived in Rhode Island at the time and exactly as you said, figures were impossible to find later on.

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

Really enjoyed watching this video! I grew up playing with the LJN WWF figures so, by the time the Hasbro WWF figures were released, I wasn't playing with toys anymore so I never owned any of them... Until now! I found the 1st series of Hasbros and the standard ring on eBay, for a decent price, 'round 2 years ago and have purchased most of the series since then. I absolutely love these figures and look forward to completing the entire collection.

[@ThePhilVideos]

Love the video. I had almost the entire line...and I too sold them all. At the time I was moving into my first place and starting a new life. Now I have my regrets but they ended up with a collector who paid me top dollar. I have one single figure left, first series Ultimate Warrior.

[@lexgoogleplay8381]

I collected pretty much all of the figures up to series 8, still have them packed away safely in storage. At times I used to set up a video camera angled towards the ring to film the matches, I still have the footage! I even made an entrance curtain for the figures to come out of and 'walk' (aided by my hand) to the ring. I slightly hesitantly told a couple of mates at the time who weren't that into wrestling and once they saw the setup they couldn't wait to join in, LOL! It got them into following the WWF. My dad made me a slightly larger and stronger wrestling ring to the plastic one released, which was great for Battle Royal events! Those years were a great time for WWF fans, glad many of you also have fond memories!

[@iliketocomment8144]

Those wrestling action figures will always be my favorite line. With the blue iconic wrestling ring. Classic!

[@alanjames3346]

Takes me back to my own action figure universe. Writing cards and putting together dream matches. I had most of the Hasbro figures up until that final series. Broke so many of them and the wrestling rings. WCW figures at the time had the edge because you couldn't break them. It was tough to get good matches out of some because of the design. A guy I knew had them but he would not take them out of the packaging. I clearly wasn't thinking business back then. Good times.

As a kid growing up in the Philippines and only seeing tape delays of months-old WWF footage before cable came around in '92, the only toys that were sold here were Series 2-7. I never saw a Series 1 toy until I went to Clark (the old US Air Force base) where servicemen were selling their kids' toys hoping to make a bit of money before moving back Stateside. Those toys were my childhood. I never saw Series 8-11 toys in all the toy stores in Metro Manila, only in the WWF magazines.
