The Jakks WWE Classic Superstars line is iconic. It was the first serious attempt at a “retro” series of figures. In 26 waves, plus 2 and 3 packs, and exclusives, Jakks compiled a huge roster of talents from all eras. However, not all of the releases were hits. These are my personal worst of the…
My main focus on Wrestling figure collecting right now are the Mattel Elite Legends and Flashbacks. I have skipped a few so it’s not a complete set, but I’m proud of the assortment I have put together so far. This is not my complete collection but the ones that are on display. I have a…
