Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 The Bret figure is so mine. The Andre figure is actually just the Big Show fig with a different head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mandarin 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedHermit 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karnage 0 Report post 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.

cbacon 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DVD Spree Report post 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 0 Report post 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.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Metal Maniac 0 Report post 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....

The Mandarin 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post 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.
