    That Hasbro Ric Flair is one of the only Hasbro figures that I have no memories of playing with as a kid. I guess even then I knew to pass on that one. The Galoob Ric Flair is an absolute classic though.

    I was pretty young when Jakks Classic Superstars series 1 came out and I was pretty excited to get some older wrestlers to go with the modern (at the time) ones. That Andre was just baffling.

    Flair with a Jake body would have been more playable, but I loved this head sculpt! It always reminded me of the crazy look in his eyes after his WrestleMania 8 match, which is probably my favorite Ric Flair match (I know, Flair/Steamboat, but that was before my time). For whatever reason, this headlock-punch pose bothered me more on the Rick Rude figure than it did on Flair.

  • @mr.perksy
    @mr.perksy 2 роки тому +1

    On the flip side the best Flair figure was the 1990 Galoob, which may be my favorite wrestling figure of all time. As a kid I had both the Galoob and Hasbro Flair, but I only used the Galoob.

    • @mr.perksy
      @mr.perksy 2 роки тому +2

      I always felt the perfect LJN pose and body for Rude would have been Paul Orndorff. The Orndorff LJN was tall, small waist and legs, with the big double bicep. I don’t think it fit Orndorff himself, but would have made a great rick rude.

  • @kjuergens1985
    @kjuergens1985 2 роки тому

    I never saw the Galoob Ron Simmons in stores, but I did get the Butch Reed and use him as Ron Simmons (by then it was 1992 and I had never seen Butch Reed in action but Ron Simmons was a top guy), just as I used my Barry Windham figure as the Taylor Made Man. I remember being unclear about who Barry Windham was, despite the fact that he was part of "Sting's Squadron" in the 1992 War Games match. Maybe it was the beard and ponytail on the figure, which he had since parted with. The Galoob figure I yearned for most was Z-Man, so I could recreate his match with Brian Pillman, also from Wrestle War 92.

  • @TiVo67
    @TiVo67 2 роки тому +2

    I’m having a hard time thinking of a top 5. One that sticks out right now is UE WM6 Warrior. If you’re gonna make the same figure for a third time then you need to really make it special, especially if it’s an ultimate edition. The heads are so disappointing. Needed that really big teased out hair for the prematch look and that sweat drenched hair for post. The figure isn’t bad but it definitely failed to live up to expectations.

    5.Ljn's
    4.Wrestling figures that blended wrestlers with military and gangsters

    2.Hasbro ric flair

    I only had 4 figures, lol😆 My all-time favorite is Jake the Snake I got in 1991 because of Damien due to few facts: his left arm could lock heads in for the DDT and his right arm could be pointed up for his signature pose just before hitting the DDT. Very disappointing was the Hulk Hogan bearhug figure. I mean it looked great- huge and aggressive but it tipped over by the slightest movement. Koko Bware has awesome looks with Frankie the parrot but one day using his action move, his head detached and flew around😂 I managed to fix it though.
    I still have Jake and Koko with their pets and the jake figure would star in a hilarious music video which would win us a third place at the Britspotting 48h filmchallenge in 2005 😂😂 Great memories all connected to wrestling☺

    Even though flair should of had his own new mould for hasbro but as they were reusing old moulds they should’ve used Greg valentines upper body and maybe Jim duggans legs would have been a great figure. Atleast we had the galoob flair still the best flair figure in my opinion.

    Honorable mention: When Jakks did the first Jeff Jarrett figure when he cut his hair and went to short pants in late 98, all they did was recolor Owen Harts Black Hart figure and they even used the same head mold of Owen, plus a little spray paint of yellow to make it look like Jarrett's goatee. Look up Jakks WWF Shotgun Saturday Night Series 2 Jeff Jarrett. They also did a paint variation of this half assed figure for the WWF DTA Tour 2 in 1999 and they both suck!

    Never understood why Galoob went the little ljn plastic mold instead of articulated figures like hasbro. In a documentary of wrestling figures, I heard the dudes behind it wanted to do some payback after wwf denied those guys the right for the wwf superstars. But to me that a dumb kind of payback since the galoob figures didn’t sell well opposed to hasbro. Just wondering why they couldn’t go the route of hasbro.

    That Ron Simmons Galoob never bothered me as a kid. One of the most disappointing figures for me was the Defining Moments Great American Bash Sting. It was certainly a better figure than the ones on your list but it should have been much better. It had terrible body part choices, a subpar face sculpt, a stiff rubber jacket, and no WCW title belt. At first it even came with the wrong boots, but Mattel did do a running change to fix that. The figure was especially disappointing for me since Surfer Sting is my all time favorite wrestler.

    Tough call, I only had LJNs, Hasbros, and Galoobs growing up. Most disappointing 1. Macho Man series 5 I think? With the full suit. It was my first macho and it was my worst macho. 2. Rick Rude, never had it but horrible. 3. Ric flair hasbro to quote kyle "what are we doing?" 4. Trish Elite not sure what series 88? That face deserves better. 5. Hulk Hogan LJN I'm a lifelong hulkamaniac and dare say w/out him there are no LJNs or even figs today maybe but he should have been way more jacked! Side note I had the butch Reed galoob top guy in my fig fed and never realized he was butch Reed until later in life. Big doom mark myself.

    Thought of another but it’s not really wrestling but is wrestling related and that’s the McFarlane Andre as Fezzik. That figure with the raccoon eyes and five o’clock shadow goatee is just bad. Plus I know McFarlane scales bigger than most figures but he scales even larger. He towers over the other figs in the same wave.

    My most disappointing figures: 60% of Mattel's Ultimate Warrior figures (when you look close, the colors of his attire and skin are usually not right), "Hulkster Hug" Hulk Hogan (Hasbro series 2) - it was rare for me to get a second figure of the same wrestler as a kid, but after years of disappointing Hogan matches with that figure, I got his shirtless, not-tan figure circa 93 or 94 and finally had good Hulk Hogan matches, Hasbro Roddy Piper (head sculpt is not great, kilt gets in the way, figure can barely stand without falling). I'd say I felt much greater disappointment about figures that weren't made during the Hasbro and Galoob days, mostly from the WCW side: Rick Rude, Ricky Steamboat, Big Van Vader, Cactus Jack. I STILL want some Rude/Steamboat Galoobs so I can recreate their Iron Man match! In my mind, of course... 👀

Especially coming off of the Bone Crunchers that I loved. If I had to pick one figure, probably the series 1 Undertaker. For more recent figures, Britt Baker's first figure was a major disappointment. And Bret Ultimate Edition because of the same bad hair on 3 heads.
