    All pictures are from Ringside Collectibles It only seems like I was here the other day, oh yes, I was. So, the reveals keep on coming, some figures we knew were coming and some that were a bit of a surprise, so where do we start, I know, Elite 100. These are ones we did know about but we have images of the actual figures, there are some grumblings about the choices for this series with it being such a milestone one. this is always going to be the case, there's always series where you think, well I'll buy that but leave that, unless you are completionist like good brother Kyle, if you haven't yet, give his channel a look, he has many wrestling figure related videos a long with videos on other toy lines too.

  I recently watched Kyle Peterson's video giving his top 10 Defining Moments figures from WWE/Mattel, had many of his top 10 in my list, maybe not in the same order but he did have some in his list I wouldn't and so, had some not in there that I would.   Before I get onto my list, I urge you to check out Kyle's channel on YouTube, loads of wrestling content, Mattel/JAKKS mainly and other bits too and if you collect or are interested in action figures from other genres, he covers loads of them too, Marvel, Masters of The Universe and so on, HERE is a direct link to his channel So, it's easy for me to pick a top 10 of DM figures, it's not so easy to put them in order, but I will try. First off, the ones that just missed out on the top 10. It was hard to leave certain ones out but I want to stick to a top 10 list so I had to make these decisions. Razor Ramon, this was a great figure, all in purple with the IC title belt, wonderful figure. The Rock, Roc
