Wrestling Trader: Sad To See You Go

Yesterday as of writing this was a sad day in the UK figure collecting world, one of the best independent wrestling figure traders, Wrestling Trader, announced he was ceasing trading as of 19/3. I am not 100% sure as to why this decision has been made, family issues could be a reason but that's none of our business. I just wanted to write a little bit to say how much Michael will be missed in the figure community.

There are a handful of independent figure traders here in the UK who sell figures and other merchandise as a full-time job and I know no different, but I think it was a full-time job for Michael. The reason this hits home for me is because I have dealt a lot with Michael since I started collecting Mattel figures and he has always been fair, will always help out where he can despite having a business to run, he'll go the extra mile for you.

I hope the reasons he had had to quit are not too serious and all is well, I hope whatever he does going forward he is successful.

If you're reading this Michael, thanks for everything, stay safe and all the best.

    Since this was written, Wrestling Trader has resurfaced, the name that is. Michael passed on the name and stock and is now a flourishing business once again so please, check them out and give them your business.

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 ...

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...
