Hey all, it's been a while it feels, Covid-19 has attacked the household so all I can say guys is stay safe out there, shame others here didn't listen to me, if your eligable for a vaccine, please get one and the second when you can, I don't want to preach I just want you all to be safe. So as you can see by the title, this will be about my top 5 Kevin Nash/Diesel Elite figures realeased by Mattel, he hasn't had too many, but enough to make this list. He has been at the forefront of figure news recently as he was the first figure (Ultimate Edition style) announced with the Mattel Creations project of releasing a real scale New Generation ring and L.E.D. entrance. For this the project has to get 5,000 backers, if it gets 7,000 there will also be a Doink The Clown Ultimate Edition figure and 8,000 sees some retro ring skirts being thrown in including In Your House ones, strangely enough, one of my favourite WWF matches was at a IYH event and featured Diesel (IYH 7, No Hol...

Welcome back if you're a previous visitor of the site, and if it's your first time here, thank you for dropping by and I hope you return. Please go back a look at my previous pieces and share them with your wrestling figure collecting friends. Also, please check my links out at the end of the post for my social media channels and ways to support the channel. So, let's get onto todays blog, you would have gathered from the title it's me taking a look at the Mattel Elite/Ultimate Edition style figures of the late Ultimate Warrior.  Legends Series 6         Lost legends I started collecting wrestling figures in 1990, I had always collected figures of some sort from various franchises such as Star Wars, Karate Kid and the like so when I go into wrestling in 1990 it was inevitable that I was going to collect figures based on that genre. I bring this up because the very first wrestling figures I bought were Hasbro ones and they were chosen because of that summer's WWF...

I am a big fan of the figures in this style released so far. I am writing this just a few days after receiving the latest Flair figure, the Ultimate Edition one. I hadn't looked this forward to receiving a figure for a long time. We will get onto that later.   So, I am going off memory here, the first Elite style Ric Flair figure released by Mattel was the Defining Moments one that saw Flair come with the infamous 'Butterfly' black & white robe based on his WWF debut on All American Wrestling way back in 1991. I had a version of this figure when I collected JAKKS figure, I believe it was an RSC exclusive but could be wrong. I really wanted that one at the time and of course, really wanted this Mattel version of it. It comes with the 'Big Gold' belt, could be the first time in the line for Mattel figures. I like to go off on sidebars on these blogs, Flair actually didn't arrive with the belt, he had shipped it to Vince McMahon some weeks before ...

Hi all, it's a bit after the fact but I felt I needed to write about the recent WWE/Mattel reveals. We had seen leaked lists and even the packaging of one of the figures, front and back, so we knew what to expect for the Legends line at least. The Legends line, well the original Legends line, is my favourite line from Mattel, some of them are really outstanding. Since the re-launch with series 7 some have been very good and some have failed to impress. So, these latest (series 12) ones saw Billy Gunn based on the DX invasion of WCW, Kevin Nash in nWo WCW gear, Junkyard Dog, which will also be the chase and the final one will be 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.                     Follow me on twitter  @WrestleFigsUK The Gunn one is fine, it'll be the third Elite style Gunn released by Mattel, it's the first in a series of DX affiliated wrestlers that took part in the 'invasion' of WCW at the Norfolk ...

Earlier on today I watched a video on YouTube by Kyle Peterson, check his channel out and subscribe, always great content, and the latest video was on his top 5 Bret 'Hitman' Hart figures, I won't go into his choices as hopefully you'll check his video out but what I'll do here is list my own.   Bret has always been a favourite of mine, big fan of his no nonsense style of wrestling and over the years, he has had some excellent action figures. When I got into wrestling Hasbro had been releasing WWF action figures for a few months and I did have at least one Bret figure from them along with many other of their WWF figures. From there, JAKKS got the licence to make WWF figures. They did a series called 'Bone Crunchers' but I didn't have many of these and the ones I did have didn't involve Bret. JAKKS would go on to release what they called the 'Classic Superstars' range which, as it sounds, was a great line covering wrestlers, managers and annou...

Hey all, it's been a while since I have blogged, I have been in the wars so to speak, been off work for a month with back/leg issues, still not resolved but I am back at work now. I arrived back to a lot of figures which you would have seen if you follow me on social media, find the links at the end. So, I am not going to write about figures today but something I like talking about with anyone that is also interested and that is the Montreal 'Screwjob'. I was watching the A&E documentary on Bret 'Hitman' Hart and of course, this was going to be spoken about. I tweeted out when watching it about how I don't think there was a screwjob and I got a response by a guy I have known for many years saying "don't be that guy". I told him, it's my opinion, we all have them. So, I know there will be many of you reading this that will think I am being ridiculous, and would say if it had been, for lack of a better term, a work then it would have come out...
