Same here. I've got atleast 30 or 40 old WWF figures. I remember my Andre the Giant is missing an arm and my Texas Tornado is missing his head. I also have the full set of NWA/WCW action figures including Sting, Lex Luger, Brian Pillman, Tom Zenk, the Steiner Brothers, Doom, Barry Windham, Ric Flair, Sid Vicious, and Arn Anderson.

For the big rubber ones, I got Hogan, JYD, Hillbilly Jim and Nikolai Volkoff for Christmas when I was 3.

 

For the smaller ones, it was Roddy Piper and Ted Dibiase.

My first ones were the big bulky non moving Greg Valentine and Ricky Steamboat.

 

I have those two and something like 80 different ones .

I guess it'd be the first LJN Hulk Hogan, although that just came in a big bag full of toys that my cousins didn't want anymore and I wasn't even into wrestling at the time. The first one I got after I started getting into wrestling? The Hasbro version of Hulk Hogan. I recall my brother getting the Big Bossman shortly there after so we could have "matches." I ended up getting pretty much that whole first series of Hasbro figures within the next few months, although Andre the Giant eluded me until three years later. For various reasons, Andre was kept out of my grasp the five or six times I had a chance to get him. The last time I saw him in a store was in a Toys 'R' Us and I passed it up to get a fuckin' glow in the dark Swamp Thing. Man, buyer's remorse defined, right there.

 

I would later get my first "real" LJN figure in 1992 when I bought Adrian Adonis in the clearance aisle at Toys 'R' Us after finding no new Hasbro figures. The LJN's would end up being my favorites.

I remember some off-brand Hulk Hogan rubber figure with articulation (so it wasn't LJN unless they did this specially) a friend of my mom's got me when I was very young. Hulk is wearing the ultra rare white tights. Then I got Jake Roberts and Brutus Beefcake for my birthday a few years later.

Mine was Vader. I don't know why, I guess I just thought he was the coolest looking.

My first LJN's were Hogan, Studd and JYD.

 

Hasbro's I can actually recall the order I got most of them in for some reason. I got Hogan and Savage along with the ring from a JC Penny catalog. Then I got Rude and Robert. Akeem and Warrior on the same day, Demoliton and Dibiase on the same day...so on and so on...

 

I've got tons of figures. Of course working at Wrestling Superstore also helps my cause :).

I think it was the old LJN Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat figures, although I had over 20 of those when it was all said and done. Why the hell I bought that old SD Jones figure I'll never know though.

My first three were Hasbro figures and they were Hulk Hogan,I'm ashamed to admit this....Jim Neidhart and the Mountie. I got them all at the same time at a K-Mart somewhere in Vermont(Yes I'm as surprised as you are that they have K-Marts in Vermont)

A Hasbro of Hogan (the yellow tights, with the "Hulk Rules" shirt)

 

For WCW, it was a Sting AND Ron Simmons figure. In cause you forgot, their figures were stiff as fuck (no "action" move like the WWF figures). BUT... possibly to make up for the figures, the WCW ring sold in stores was awe-inspiring. Not only did it have a catapult outside of the ring, but it was accompanied by a red "steel" cage. (Not to mention, one of the turnbuckles had a "springboard" effect.)

Ravishing Rick Rude and Ultimate Warrior. I always tried to put Warrior in a Rude Awakening, but that large push down thing on his back made it look awful. Good times.

Steve Austin, in late October 1998 for my birthday. And you want to know the first thing I said when I got it?

 

"Oh! This should be worth money now that he's fired!"

 

:lol: The days of being a mark.

I bought a WWF "King Of The Ring" ring with a Razor Ramon action figure (both Hasbro) in Summer 95

 

Shortly thereafter, I thought, "Hey, Razor needs an opponent!" and I found a Roddy Piper figure (in 95!!!!!)
