Continuing from Mattel Legends 7-10 here: Series 11: The Breakdown: Legends gets back on track here with a good lineup. Savage is the gem of the set, in both versions, but Bam Bam Bigelow is also a very underrated figure. Big John is fine, but Scott Hall has one of the worst headscans in years….
Defining Moments: Game Changers When Mattel took over the WWE line starting in 2010, there was plenty of skepticism of how they would handle the details and presentation of the wrestlers past and present.

A quick preview of the Target WWE Legends Series 18, due in Spring 2023. Also, Walmart Exclusive Ruthless Aggression Series 4. This is the best lineup of Legends in a long time.

Starting with Elite Series 63, Mattel began including Chase Figures into the main Elite lines. The main rule of thumb: The parts cannot be changed, just deco. Usually they would be current roster talent but occasionally they would be Legends/Flashback figures. This practice of including Chase Figures into the waves continued into the Target Exclusive…
The Jakks Pacfic WWF Bone Crunching Action figures debuted in 1996 as the successor to the Hasbro WWF line. Series 1 depicted the roster from late 1995, and series 9 covered early 1999. Today I’m going to list a few key superstars who should have gotten BCA treatment in that timeframe. Jim The Anvil Neidhart…
Recently, I was able to acquire two missing pieces for my collection, the Flashback Series 2 USA Ultimate Warrior, and a grail piece, the Defining Moments Wrestlemania 7 Ultimate Warrior. This got me to thinking, I need a checklist. As discussed previously, I have a need for filling the gaps in my collection. Hasbros: The…
Shortly after the launch of Bone Crunching Action (BCA) figures in 1996, the line was expanded to include 2 packs. These would feature tag teams, manager/client, or grudge matches.
