MY Rankings of the Monday Night Wars Ultimate Editions

Image
I  saw a post on Instagram mentioning all the Monday Night Wars Elites we have had, and I thought it would be good to do a blog with me listing them, I don't usually like doing ranking lists unless i personally have the figure myself and as it stands, of all the ones in this series that have been released I still don't have the Lex Luger (hopefully should have him Tuesday as of writing this) but i think I have seen enough images to  be able to add him in this list as of now. In the comments on that post someone suggested including the Outsiders, I can see the logic as of course, they were a big, no huge, part of the Monday Night Wars but the figures weren't actually released in that series, so I don't think I'll include them. Of course, if I did there are others I could then include like a couple of Rock's figures, Eric Bischoff or my favourite UE of all, the re-released nWo Hollywood Hogan and maybe there are others too so I will just stick with the six that ha...

My Top 5 Coliseum Collection Figures

Image
Some people have them already but most of us should have them sometime in February, I’m talking of course of the sixth wave in the Mattel Creations/Amazon Coliseum Collection and these will be Bam Bam Bigelow and the Big Boss Man. As I said, I don’t have them yet and even if I did, I can’t say any of them would definitely make this list but it’s hard to say right now without having them in hand. So, with that said, let me give you my top 5 Coliseum Collection figures we have had so far, don’t forget, the list is not wrong as it’s my list, feel free to hit me up on X or Instagram (@WrestleFigsUK) or whatever Facebook page you may see this shared. 5. Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat   This figure came out in the last wave and although pretty plain in its presentation over all it’s a very good figure. The head scans on it are way better than those that came on his Elite figures. Any long time collectors will know after his LJN and Hasbro figures that was it until deep into the Mattel line...

My Top 10 Ultimate Edition Figures List

Image
Hi all, welcome back, and if it's your first time here, thanks for giving it a read. It has been a while since I last wrote a blog, apologies for that. We are coming to the end of the year, and a lot of people will be doing posts, blogs and videos on their favourite figures of the year, I won't do that but since I last wrote about the Ultimate Editions many more have been released so I want to do a top list of my favourite UE's, don't forget, the list can't be wrong because it's MY list, you may agree but chances are, you'll disagree, which is fine, it's all about opinions, feel free to let me know wherever you see this posted on social media what your choices of the top UE figures are to date. Anyone that has been following me for a while will know that I don't include figures in my lists so as it stands right now, I don't have CM Punk or The Steiners and from the last set that had a general release as such (Dominik Mysterio, L.A Knight and Rey ...

Ranking the WWE Legends figures Part 4

Image
So I have covered the original run of Legends figures, I am not sure how many people are reading them so I could be wasting my time but for now, I will carry on. So after a long hiatus, the Legends series was brought back by Mattel, I was happy at the time as it was my favourite line but I knew I'd be hit in the pocket big time. Series 7 was announced and they were Razor Ramon in blue, Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan in a weasel suit, Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine and chase and a different version of Sting as 'The Crow' character. However, before the series hit retail, it was announced Sting was being pulled as his legends deal with WWE had expired, that was a shame because it looked very cool and I imagine one day we will get it when any deal he has with AEW finishes and he comes back under the WWE umbrella. The Sting we didn’t get Razor Ramon was a decent figure, the blue attire looked good, I have since swapped the head on mine with one of the spares from the Ulti...

Ranking the WWE Legends figures Part 3

Image
  Here we are with the third part of the series ranking the Legends figures from WWE/Mattel, today it will be series 6 and the Matty Collector figures. As it turned out, this was the last series really of the original run but they went out with a bang, some real cracking figures in this set of 5. We had the Ultimate Warrior based on his look from Wrestle Mania VI when he won the WWF world title from Hulk Hogan, came with a winged eagle world title belt but it had a yellow strap, of course, the day of that match, he was IC champion and that belt had a yellow strap (it was many years afterwards until we got an IC title with a yellow strap) so the world title belt with this should've had a black strap really as Hogan's belt was with a black strap, nit picking really, but hey. We had the figure re released some years later in the 'Lost Legends' series but there was a slight difference, the orange tape/strapping on his wrist was in a different order to the one on the origina...

Ranking The WWE Legends Figures Part 2

  Not sure if you all read the first part of this series, I guess if no one is interested I may as well just stop doing the blogs altogether. Anyway, incase there is anyone interested in what I have to say, here is part 2 of my blogs ranking all the WWE legends series figures. In part one I covered sets 1-3, today I will carry on with the Toys R Us exclusive 2-packs and the 4th/5 th  sets. So here we go, yes, TRU back in the day had the exclusive rights to sell the set of 4 tag teams that came under the WWE Legends series line. These teams were 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper & 'Cowboy' Bob Orton, The Bushwhackers, The Rockers and The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff. This series saw the ONLY Marty Jannetty figure from Mattel, this alone makes it stand out. It also was until very recently, the only set of Bushwhackers elite figures, they came out with extra 'Doink' heads in the last Survivor Series set. We have had a good amount of Piper figures however, the face scan o...
