The Mandarin Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 (edited) Bret. Copy and paste/drag New set of action figures made by Jakks Pacific, entitled "Classic Superstars". To see the rest of the set: Ultimate Warrior Old School Undertaker Andre the Giant WM 12 Shawn Old School HHH Edited December 12, 2003 by CM Funk
Damaramu Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 What warrants a classic HHH figure?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 classic HHH? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA maybe a ringmaster Austin or a Rocky Maivia... but that's stupid.
Steviekick Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 The Bret figure is so mine. The Andre figure is actually just the Big Show fig with a different head.
The Mandarin Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Posted December 12, 2003 What warrants a classic HHH figure? He's banging not only his bosses daughter, but the respective daughters of Hasbro, Lego and Jakks Pacific too. Oh, and he's also holding down RVD's figure.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 That Warrior figure is pretty bad ass though I think I'll buy both and let old school Warrior no sell old school HHH's finisher and pin him clean in under a minute.
DerangedHermit Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 I like the Woyah, HBK and Bret figures. Andre's too small, Taker's too thin and HHH's head is too small and it's HHH. Ones I want to see: Yokozuna Owen Hart Macho Man Ricky Steamboat Roddy Piper British Bulldogs Rocky Maivia (Blue Chipper) Gobbledygooker
The Mandarin Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Posted December 12, 2003 Note: You can only purchase them online. Blah, sucks that they're not gonna be in stores. At least there's a pretty awesome Haas and Benjamin, though.
Damaramu Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 I was a big fig collector and customizer in the days of the Bone Crunchers....but these days....bah.
Guest Indy Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 uH.....from what I read from Figures.com, it seems that they will be released in March 2004 ready for Wrestlemania XX.

Huh, I just read that too. I heard that it was an internet exclusive for February, though. Well, hopefully it's true. I'd snatch up all o' dees babies.

Karnage Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 A neat fact, Bret Hart is the only wrestler to ever be made into action figure form by every company who made wrestling figures. There's those big rubber LJNs, the little Hasbros, The short-lived Playmates, Bone Cruncher Jakks, San Francisco Toymakers (WCW, ECW), Toybiz (The one where he looks like Howard Stern) and now another by Jakks.

Are you sure Hogan wasn't to?
cbacon Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Did HHH even hold that incarnation of the IC belt? And Andre was never officially recognized as WWF champion was he?
Guest DVD Spree Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Isn't the Taker fig all fucked up? Admittedly, by the time he'd gone purple I was actively trying to blank as much WWF from my memory as possible, but shouldn't his boots be purple to match the gloves? And when the fuck did he start wearing a stripey school tie? Fig looks like Rob Zombie, too. Bret's all messed up too. Where's his pink tape? And why does he look like Andrew W.K.? Most of these look shite, and they're really missing the boat by not doing figures of Doink and Demolition. And since they're doing "classic" workers, it sure wouldn't hurt to put Owen in there.
Perfxion Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Triple H did hold that IC title at Summerslam 98 Taker was WWF champion in the deadman suit in 91 and 97, both times wearing the grey outfit. Warrior is badass. HBK looks real too. Andre was a world champion, all of 30 seconds. Would have been shorter if the man could breathe. It is hard for a 500 pound man at that size in that stage of his life to around, much less wrestle and do an angle. But he looks like Show in WCW with a fucked up head.
DerangedHermit Posted December 12, 2003 Report Posted December 12, 2003 Bret's figure looks like they took off Stevie Richards' head and put it on Bret.

Are you sure Hogan wasn't to? Don't think there was any Playmates Hogan. These figures were from the near bankrupty era of the WWF.
EdwardKnoxII Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I think I'll buy both and let old school Warrior no sell old school HHH's finisher and pin him clean in under a minute. I bet that even HHH's action figures don't even do the job.
Bruiser Chong Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I had heard about these being a possibility a while back and I must say, I'm disapointed. The only figure I'm going to buy is the Warrior because he's the only one who actually, ya know, looks like his real-life counterpart. What the fuck happened to Jakks' Real Scan they were using on all their figures? Warrior will look great loose on a shelf, but everything else sucks. The Taker figure is okay, but the color scheme is messed up. It's either purple or grey, not both. And Andre's figure is just awful. As someone said, it's just Big Show's body with an Andre head on there. And would it have killed them to make an Andre head that actually looked like him? Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember Andre's lips ever looking goth. And he never wore god damn black wristbands. Petty? Yeah, a bit, but c'mon, these should've been great. Don't even get me started on HHH, whose head is a frickin' pin compared to the rest of the body.
The Metal Maniac Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 'Taker always had a tie in his deadman outfits, though he took it off before the match. Though to be honest, I can't rightly recall if it should be striped or a solid color. I wanna say solid, though. Some of the figures on this page are very well-done though, I must say....
Bruiser Chong Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 He did have a tie and it had stripes, although I don't think they were as wide as the ones in that picture.
The Mandarin Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 Don't even get me started on HHH, whose head is a frickin' pin compared to the rest of the body. Not only that, but Triple H figures never come with the right accessories. Where's the bonus weapons of Lucy the Dog and Stephanie McMahon's hooters?
Bruiser Chong Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 If HHH warranted a place in this series, the least they could've done was made his body look like it actually did, give him the IC title he actually had when he was using that gimmick and finally, made his head some what proportionate to his body.
The Mandarin Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 Pictures of the awesome new Christian, Ultimo Dragon and Rosie figures (plus more) are up on RingsideCollectibles.com
