  Credit to @WrestlingDaze Welcome back all but if it's your first time visiting the site, thanks for checking us out, I hope you'll be back.  A while back, I did a blog giving a history of sorts of the BAF (Build-A-Figures) but this time I want to revisit the line and talk a bit more in depth. I am a big fan of the line, I don't have them all, not by a long shot but I have some of the rarer ones which I'll get onto as we go along. I think the idea is a very good one from a business point of view, as many have the same or similar moulds as the majority of BAF's are figures in suits there's not much new tooling that is needed by the factory, maybe just for the heads. As some come with basic sets it's another way for Mattel to get collectors to buy basics which they probably wouldn't normally do, I have done this myself to try and get parts for a particular one, and I have to say, the basic figures I needed to do this were very expensive but the parts were...

Welcome back everyone, hope you have all been well.   As you can see by the title, I am doing my top 5 Mattel Hulk Hogan list today. Inspired by Kyle Peterson's recent Top 10 overall Hulk Hogan figures list (find it on YouTube) I thought I would do this list. As you will know, I always do top 5's, I would do a top 10 but he hasn't had enough Elite style ones. I will also include his first Ultimate Edition too, as it stands, no one has his second Ultimate Edition and I don't have the recent Elite that came out in the Survivor Series line, I will pick it up despite the weird scan (much like the Bret Hart one in the same series). I will say, sorry for the spoilers if you have not watched it yet, Kyle had in his top 10 the original Storm Collectibles Hollywood Hogan which I do have and displayed with my Elite figures, but my list as previously stated, will be just Elite figures. So, onto my top 5 list. From what I could see, and I should know because I have them all, the ne...

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 ...

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...
