Titan Tron Live: The series that almost ended my collecting days. In 1999, Jakks Pacific made a huge decision. Their Bone Crunching Action (BCA) series of WWF Figures was a success, with a good roster of characters, and a good release schedule and frequency. However, their parts choices started to become questionable (Ahmed Johnson legs…
The WWE Legends line at Target has been a good outlet for Legends and Classic talent to be released in updated attire, or even a debut like Greg Valentine. In this post, let’s look at who should be included in future waves. Note: I’m going with the current pattern of using mostly signed talent for…
