Brian is by far the funniest lowkey, always brings up some good perspective as well. Matt is classic diehard and has the greatest collector mentality. Mark is a great middle ground guy with nice opinions all around. Keep the trio goin

[@Johnny82Utah]

It's funny you say that, I only started watching this pod when covid began and I can't get enough. They all bring something to the table and feed off each other when together.

[@michaelweech6432]

Good comment, but I can name superstars who should have had Hasbro figures - Colonel Mustafa & General Adnan (though there’s nothing wrong with the Sergeant Slaughter figure that Hasbro did make, in series 3, especially when his file card at least makes two references to his heel ‘Iraqi sympathisier’ gimmick - how long he reigned as the WWF champion, and fans regarding him as an American turncoat), Big Bully Busick and (even though these are wrestlers of the late 90s era) Goldust & Kane (how much fans would have loved a figure of Steve Austin).

[@deadbrothers8348]

True story...Virgil was my last and final fig fed heavy weight champion...it really was a heart warming moment

[@davidwilcox9649]

I was today years old when I found this KZbin channel! I'm from the UK and juat spent the last 4 and a half hours watching this. Potentially the best thing I've ever seen on KZbin! I've got the whole collection myself but it's not so big in the UK so it was great to see such nostalgia from 3 other guys my age! Well done on the show guys, heres to the next video! X

[@patcostello7556]

I wonder if Matt has the most complete set of Hasbro figures. If not, he’s gotta be super close. Some of the stuff he has is remarkable

[@MattAustinonYouTube]

Maybe the first 4 hour anything that i didn't want to end...these figures WERE my childhood...me, my brother, our friends were obsessed with fig hunting these every weekend and then playing with them on through the night...damn where's my childhood? thanks for this guys

That Hacksaw opening was awesome, HOOOOooooo!!!!

[@MatthewMS.]

wow!! I am 41 and haven’t watched wresting since late 1990’s but in 4-5th grade these things to me were absolute Gold. Id search stores and save to get a new one. The only toy I liked as a kid, and to this day still love… was not expecting the algorithm to give me this!! I’ll be watching this several times I’m sure, thank you. (Edit, I also liked GI Joes now I remember, but WWF hasbro figures are in their own tier). Thx 🙏

[@MichaelMartinezLLO]

This is my favorite youtube video ever.. I had so many childhood memories listenings you guys. I'm glad to be part of the hasbro family/collectors. Thank you ALL!

[@andrewfanelli666]

Honestly, with the large number of people who get the name of the show wrong, it's astounding Hacksaw got it right each time he said it.

[@YaBoyShaneSmith]

Wow what an absolutely EPIC episode. 4 hours and I genuinely could of watched 4 more. I would LOVE to see something similar with the Jakks Pacific line.

[@owen800xl]

Back in like 2012 I sold a Nailz figure on ebay. The buyer I sent it to was called Kevin Wacholz and based in USA.... I've always thought it must have been the real Nailz that bought it. I regret not messaging and asking.

[@megomego-likemaven4650]

I think that your buyer was definitely the real Nailz. Not exactly a common name and since he bought a Nailz figure, I'd think it'd be a safe bet to assume that it was him. It's possible that someone with the same name wanted it because they share the same name, but I think the aforementioned assumption is more likely than the latter.

[@RetroPillowcase]

Seems legit.

[@EdillColon]

Out of nowhere, a month ago, I started stressing at work, and my mother found my old Hasbro from childhood; I started collecting my favorite loose figures. Oddly calming and satisfying. Great show. Does anyone know where to get custom figures?

This video is just pure nostalgic joy injected directly into my veins.

[@diggerfan5493]

The BEST figures ever released. Such charm to these.

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

I think that's largely people's nostalgia. I never had or cared about these and I can see why. I mean, I get why people are attached to them, childhood memories are very strong. I guess I just never favored cartoony versions of things.

[@r.josephgrundy1706]

I have all of my originals, in great condition. I'm very proud of them. I was 14 when they were 1st released. This was also what made me start collecting seriously!

[@theryan4255]

Right off the bat I was happy to see Jim Duggan is still alive and doing well. I don't know anything about him in real life but every time I see him he comes off as a genuinely good dude. We've lost too many legends too early. HOOOOO!

[@davidmace7452]

This video bought back so many memories from when I was bought these when I was younger. I think I still have them somewhere. I counted along and I think I had 67 of them. I used to use the cards on the back and shuffle them to make the matches! By Series 10, they were harder to find where I lived and Samu was the last one I ever got out of those 2 sets.

[@guardian08527]

Samu and Giant Gonzalez were the last two figures I ever saw in a Toys R Us. I had originally fallen out with the figs in 93, but in the Summer of 96 while traveling with the family across the mid west we stopped in at a TRU and they had Samu and two of GG on the shelf on discount for $2.50. I bought all three, one of each to open and I kept the other Gonzalez sealed. Between 1996 and 1998 you could still find the yellow card guys at Kay Bee outlet stores. Wish I bought more of them when I had the chance.
