After writing the last blog where I said I would be selling up I have still not made a move to do so, I know it needs to happen but I am STILL buying new stuff, serious issues here guys. So, no one off topic to write about today I just thought I'd write about a few things in the wrestling figure world at the moment. First off, people on both sides of the pond are receiving their New Generation rings from Mattel Creations. I am yet to receive mine but I believe it is in the country and I am waiting for a letter off Royal Mail to pay my customs charge. This charge is ridiculous, I am reading the charge for those here in the UK is about £63 and with this on top of what has already been paid over a year ago makes it very expensive. Some people are saying it's understandable as the value of the item is so high, this maybe true but doesn't help the bank account does it?  I have no space to set up rings and I knew this when I purchased it but, I did want the figures that come with...

We have all been waiting for it and it finally arrived, the autumn Ringside Fest WWE/Mattel figure reveals. These are not in order to how they were announced but anyway, let's get on with it. First off, Ultimate Editions, there had been some rumours about upcoming releases and it was confirmed about some of those rumours, we will be getting a third Ultimate Edition Hulk Hogan following on from the Hollywood Hogan and the Amazon Exclusive Fan Takeover Wrestle Mania IX one, many people will probably have this new one before getting their hands on the WM IX one, been a right, mess up on that, I, myself have had to resort to seeking one out on the secondary market. Anyway, this new reveal will be a Hogan based on his 1985 Wrestle Mania I look and you can see pictures of the colour renderings here but will actually come with more accesories, well, at least a entrance vest. And at WM I, Hogan teamed with Mr. T and yes, he is coming too in Ultimate Edition style. I believe he will have hi...

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, I have decided now to take a look at the Hall of Champions, Elite line, there were some basics released in double packs but I am going to focus on the Elites. There were 3 series, all consisted of 4 figures each. I have some of these figures in my collection but not all, I'll talk about this as I go on.  Series 1 consisted of Batista, Eddie Guerrero, Rikishi & The Undertaker.  Batista is based on his match with Triple H from Wrestle Mania 21 and comes with the big gold belt, contract and pen. Theres a decent number of Batista figures on the market and for me, this is one of the better ones and I do have it in my collection. Eddie Guerrero was a great figure, based on his 1995 look from his WCW days, it came with the cruiserweight title and a stand to use to pose the figure. I knew when I saw this I had to get it. The Rikishi figure is one I don't have, I do have a figure of his but not this one. This one comes with a black robe and oval IC title belt, it is based ...
