With the upcoming Broken Skull Sessions interview between Steve Austin & Chris Jericho airing on the WWE Network/Peacock, it got me thinking, what are the best figures of each guy?  I was listening to the Pyramid Wrestling podcast before writing this and they were talking about the upcoming interview and that gave me the idea to write this piece and then the guys had their own discussion of both guys and their thoughts/memories on figures as it is a wrestling figure podcast, a very good one indeed so give them a listen, find them in the usual podcast places. I am more concerned with their Mattel figures, but both had a number of JAKKS ones too and Jericho had maybe at least a couple before that while in WCW, yes, I had the infamous 'Lion Tamer' one which you can see pictured above.  Let's go with Austin first, there's not too much you can do with Austin figures because he just wears the black trunks and boots but still, he's had a few variations, like the Mattel...

Hi all, seems like a long while since I wrote something on the blog when in fact it's only been a few days. Anyway, today I want to write about the Entrance Greats, the first run was before I was collecting Mattel figures, so they had been and gone before I started to collect and to be honest, despite most of them looking great, the fact they were basic figures takes the shine off a little and they are not figures I have tried to track down. So, they were released in series, the first featuring Triple H, Rey Mysterio & Shawn Michaels. Triple H was based on his look from Wrestle Mania 22 where he faced John Cena, Triple H in this one, as you can see by the image had somewhat of a Conan The Barbarian look. It looks pretty decent and like many in the original run of Entrance Greats, would've been great as an Elite, I am sure, like with many in the line, people have taken the entrance gear and added it to a future Elite figure. Next up was Rey Mysterio, also based on his look f...

Welcome back all, I've been ill this week so that's why there's been a bit of a delay on the blog front but today I am back with a look at a series of figures I am very much into, a line I have yet to complete but not far off, yes, today, I'll look at the Ringside Collectables exclusive figures. So back in 2010, Mattel started to release figures of WWE wrestlers and Legends. And Ringside Collectables (RSC) have worked with WWE for years and this led to them being able to get certain figures that you could only purchase (initially at least) through their website. For the MOC collectors these figures stood out more as they have that little sticker on the box that stated they were exclusive to RSC. I as a loose collector of course am not too worried about this but many, not all, of the figures in the RSC exclusive line are great. So, let's get cracking. The first one released was a Ringside Fest exclusive first, Rey Mysterio which is billed as Rey Mysterio Flash as the...

A Mattel line that didn't have many figures, just the 4 in fact, were the Best of Attitude Era . I think this line had more legs in it, it was an Amazon exclusive line and 3 out of the 4 figures were in casual clothes and just one in wrestling gear. I have them all and a big fan of 3 of them, 1 of the others, not so much, so let's talk about them. The first one released was Chris Jericho, he was the only one out the 4 that came in wrestling attire and it is a really good figure, not many better Jericho Elite figures out there to be honest. As you can see by the image, comes with a great RAW is Jericho t shirt, microphone and tremendous head/hair sculpt. I think this hasn't been released on any other Elite figure, please let me know if it has. I know it came out, well a similar one at least, in the original Entrance Greats and basic lines. And I have to talk about the tights, gave me ECW vibes with the barbed wire detail. A real good figure and if possible, get it in your co...
