I'm assuming all or at least most of us grew up as wrestling fans. How many of you collected wrestling action figures? Who was your favorite? Did you have a fig fed? What was it called?

Y'know, with all the stupid stuff I was into at one point or another as a kid, I'm really surprised I never ended up with any wrestling action figures. The only one I've ever bought (and still have somewhere) is a Dude Love figure I picked up as a closeout and left in package hoping to get Foley himself to sign at some point.

I had some of the rubber wrestling figures (approx 10-12 inches tall) that were made in the 80's. I had Junkyard Dog, Jesse Ventura, Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan.

Still do, baby - AEW figures (one of every character and the exclusives that look cool/all of the Codys) and WCW Smash n' Slam figures (4 to go for one of every character)
Back in the day, I had a few Hasbros, but the BCAs were went the collection really popped off. I probably stopped consistently buying before I graduated high school. I had a few Elites here and there, but started all of that too late and the ones I really wanted had exploded in price.
ETA: I now have all of the Hasbros minus the super expensive mail-aways. If I die, please do not let my family sell them in a yard sale. They're probably triple in value compared to what I paid for them

Growing up I had a Hasbro Undertaker I was fond of. I also had the original Jakks figures and my Bret and Owen Hart figures were personal favorites.
Nowadays I actually attempt to make customs on occasion since I enjoy detail work. Currently trying to get back into it after a few years away from it - working on a Stardom style Io Shirai and possibly Momo Watanabe and AZM.

I never had any of the classic LJN figures, but I had a handful of Hasbro WWF figures and Galoob WCW figures. Like Scott, my collection exploded when Jakks took over with the BCA and Ruthless Aggression waves. I also have all of the ToyBiz WCW figures that came along until they went into limited production with later waves and became impossible to find.
These days, I don't really actively collect any particular lines. I just cherry pick folks I like when the figure actually looks good. I've got most of the CM Punk figures that have been released, and I try to stay on top of any joshi figures that come along like Asuka, Shida, Riho, etc.
The most recent male figures I've picked up were Hangman Page and a couple WWE Elite Roddy Piper figures.

I don't collect wrestling figures but I know that I tried to move heaven and Earth to try and get the first Kenny Omega figure.
I paid way too much to a reseller for it but I have #noregrets

I had the large rubber WWF figures growing up. I chewed the noses off of all of them because I was a weird fucking kid.
I collect the current AEW figures. I'll post pics tomorrow of both said collections (the AEW one and the noseless rubber figures)
