As a companion to my favorite Hasbro WWF figures list, these are my least favorite Hasbros. As usual, these are in no particular order. Series 3 Macho Man Randy Savage. I’m a big fan of the series 2 Macho King figure, it was a great version of Savage. But this was a cheap cop out…
This is a checklist of the Original San Francisco Toy Makers (OSFTM) WCW figures from the mid 1990s. These figures popped up in 1995, bridging the gap between the WWF Hasbro series, and the WWF Jakks Bone Crunching Action series.

Continuing a tradition from 2021 and 2020, here is my annual ranking of the Hot Wheels Regular Treasure Hunts. As always, it’s a mixed bag of quality and interest with these.
