- 5:06figure podcast, Hall of Fame Lapping. Get ready to hold them that piss
- 5:15and uh, let's let's get right to it. Let's talk about what made
- 5:20us want to do this, what made uh what we did to get the
- 5:25votes? And I'm trying to say what I'm trying to say. The prestigious
- 5:27committee that we had, We had a prestigious committee. It was eleven members,
- 5:30I believe. Well, well, we'll spill all the beans right now.
- 5:32We're really gonna spell the beans. I just wanted people to know how
- 5:35that that this was a legit effort. I don't know if we to spell
- 5:39the beans. Okay, So what we did we had the committee, people
- 5:42in the toy business, people in the wrestling business, that we trusted their
- 5:46opinion, and uh we gave them. Okay, we said, okay,
- 5:49Hasbro, l j N, Jack's Mattel, pick your five favorites. Then
- 5:56we said miscellaneous of all the toy lines, uh, miscellane to and then
- 6:02I literally with a pen and paper. It was very confusing actually to keep
- 6:05track of all this, but I I wrote it all down and wrote,
- 6:10you know, and we got some winners. We had five winners. So
- 6:14let's let's go with the first inductee from l JN. The Macho Man o
- 6:19Ye, Randy Savage the best, in my opinion, best figure of all
- 6:26time. I know the best l j N for sure my favorite. It's
- 6:30as a kid, I didn't really know what was like Series one, series
- 6:33two serious, so to me, like Macho Man is like one of the
- 6:36earlier ones because I can't like demolition acts and all I got later, but
- 6:41in my mind, like Macho Hogan, they were all like they were just
- 6:45right. But technically he's Series three. I know, is't that crazy to
- 6:47think? It's weird to think of that. I love that figure because he
- 6:50does the elbow t we're really really young kids and these are coming out,
- 6:54so yeah, so it makes sense you can do the elbow with the left
- 6:57or the right. I do appreciate the stamp because obviously ljm's were challenged you
- 7:02to be very creative with your your your playing abilities, and his dance kind
- 7:06of opens him up for you know, give someone a body slam, an
- 7:09elbow drove me things? Are there, wide legs, you can take moves.
- 7:12Yeah, you know, so I appreciated that, of course. But
- 7:16it is a timeless figure. I mean so much that we have that shirt
- 7:18that might look like him the justless collect and I know, you know,
- 7:24it's funny like we're inducting him here today, but it's almost like we did
- 7:28when we picked out that shirt, because we were talking about what's a timeless
- 7:30figure and the pose that we can put in that sill a way, of
- 7:34course, I think anybody who's in the wrestling figure collecting community is going to
- 7:40go boom. We've talked about this on the pod before before our new listeners.
- 7:44You know, there's versions of this macho man in like this purplish pink,
- 7:47then a neon pink than a darker purple. But those are these are
- 7:50not true variants. Ryan Myers does not recognized these variants. Collection. I
- 7:56only recognize them because I'm a man and you're a lunatic. Yeah. And
- 8:00then there's also the big nipples Machra Man, but I believe that's the black
- 8:03card who's not technically getting inducted here. Okay, so swamp, so there's
- 8:07an asterisk, yes, okay, so Matra Man with the small nipples has
- 8:11been getting abducted. Big nips on the shelf, Yeah, okay, he's
- 8:16on the ballot for another year. And I actually have the hand painted resin
- 8:20prototype of this figure, which is beautiful and it has stars on the boots,
- 8:22which the regular figure does not have. Really, yes, that's something
- 8:26I did not know. And then I have an unpainted he did no,
- 8:31I'm sure that, I'm sure at one point. Definitely, at one point,
- 8:33I guess. And then I also have an unpainted prototype resin where he
- 8:37looks like a chocolate Easter bunny, you know what I'm saying. So it's
- 8:41cool to have all those hard hard, heavy and hard yeah heavy and heard
- 8:46they don't bend man that that the machra man is just so beautiful and with
- 8:50the Elizabeth, which you don't have, correct, No, I still need
- 8:54a good miss Elizabeth. That's something. I guess. What detoys me from
- 8:58buying that one being so quick to do it is the cloth. It scart,
- 9:01right, And I've discussed with you. There's like a soft soft one
- 9:05and a harder one. Ummm, no, I know obviously pink and gold,
- 9:11right, but there's one where it's like true l jan style like rubber,
- 9:15where you can like squeeze her legs if you want, like a ice
- 9:16we're saying, And I do know what you're talking about. Okay, Yeah,
- 9:20Rob Shamberger years ago made me a macho man painting of that figure.
- 9:26Really yeah, a little eight by ten painting. But it was nice,
- 9:28like like a water color? Is that what it's called? Yeah? What'd
- 9:30you do with that? I still have it. It's not on display.
- 9:33Wouldn't you put it like I should? You know? I guess the backdrop
- 9:35to your l jams And did you see the guy who got it tattooed?
- 9:39That was wild? I think I might have to do that this particular figure
- 9:43or a wrestling figure. That figure, I think if I were to get
- 9:45it, if I were to get a figure tattooed on me, it'd be
- 9:46that one. I think you should get the Macho has Bro Okay, that's
- 9:54more your generation. Yeah, okay, that's fair. Look at the wheel
- 9:58spinning on you. Okay, is that it for the Macho Man? I
- 10:01think so. I think we said enough, beautiful figure. We love it.
- 10:03We don't want to take up a lot of people's time, like Hillbilly
- 10:07Jim. You know, sorry, all right? Next up from Hasbro Series
- 10:13one, the Immortal Hulk Hogan. I mean, if this if the Macho
- 10:20Man l Jan figure is not the most iconic figure ever, this one certainly
- 10:24is. Of course when it comes crashing down and it hurts inside every kid
- 10:28who grew up in our generation, if you will, got to take a
- 10:33stand. Yeah, it don't help to hide. Uh yeah. I'd say
- 10:39it's probably a dead tie because my first memories of wrestling and wrestling a six.
- 10:43But there's a dead tie to me about this Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior
- 10:46from the same set that were like the two figures I wanted the most you
- 10:50know, I mean like my first oh my god, I have to have
- 10:54that wrestling figure. And these were the first wrestling figures that I knew of
- 10:58that had like articulation, cause I didn't have the A w A figures or
- 11:01a pope or a POPI I had the wh I had the l J N
- 11:07S and I was like, oh my god, and like you could do
- 11:09the gorilla press, you do all the different moves. I don't know,
- 11:13does this ever happen to you? I don't know. I set it up
- 11:16like that. But when I was a kid at hazards were like these massive
- 11:20toys and then you know, now they feel so small to me that I'm
- 11:24an adult. No, I thought they were small because I had I had
- 11:28the ljs. Growing up happen too, but like I don't know something about
- 11:31them, Like as I got older, like they really shrunk in my memory
- 11:35compared to like when I was a kid. I love the Hogan the Hulk
- 11:39still No, it's Hulk Rules, not Hulk Still Rules. Two body slame
- 11:46action, which was like so innovative at the time. You know, we're
- 11:48so used to seeing it now, but that was like, oh my god,
- 11:52you can body slam somebody you know, and then they later made other
- 11:56Hogan figures, but to me, that's the best one. And uh,
- 11:58you you can't have a Hasbro collection in my opinion without Series one Hogan.
- 12:03I mean, if you tried to brag to me and show off your Hasbro
- 12:07collection you didn't have this figure, how can I take you? Seriously?
- 12:11I mean, I I have not trying to be a bully. Yeah,
- 12:15no, I have this figure loose. I have it Mint on card.
- 12:20I also have the green standard tag Mint on card. Do you have the
- 12:24Baggie the Silver Vision Yeah, yeah, but that does that's not Series one
- 12:28in my mind, it is, but it's not what's different. There's nothing
- 12:31different his neon legs and stuff. But yeah, but that's not the one
- 12:35that's getting induct The Silver Vision Exclusive is not getting inducted. Asterisk the Bushman
- 12:41mark. Bushy has the handpainted prototype really and I've thought about buying it before,
- 12:46but the not that it matters because it's a prototype, but the paint
- 12:50application is all like smeared and messed up because it was I don't know if
- 12:54it was played with but banged around, so it's not like Mint. So
- 12:58I'm like, I don't want to spend dollar on this figure. You have
- 13:01prototypes that are kind of like that. Yeah, but those are figures out
- 13:03that never came out. Yeah what I'm saying. So if you want the
- 13:07whole Cogan prototype, hit the bush Man. I can see you. I
- 13:13thought it was ik. No, it's not. I can't go as I
- 13:16could see you two. Whatever. Yeah, screw you, Bushy. You
- 13:20get a lot of plugs in the show. The Hull Cogan Series one has
- 13:24bro an inductee to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Hall of Fame. Next up
- 13:33we will do the miscellaneous figure. This one he won with flying Collars by
- 13:39Landslide. It is the w c W Galube Sting. So to me,
- 13:46this one is so like iconic in the sense that I feel like my friends
- 13:52growing up, even if they didn't really have wrestling figures, they have this
- 13:56figure for some reason, Like everyone just had this, like it was it
- 13:58was a a mainstay in people's just collection, right, I mean, like
- 14:03I think it's because the thing was so larger than life. Is is a
- 14:05cool looking dude and the neon colors and the cool pose, yeah, cool
- 14:09post. It's jacked, right, And these were two scale kind of with
- 14:13the Hasbro so you can do some fantasy warfare if you wanted to. I
- 14:16always did, always thought that was cool. You know, he's always doing
- 14:20the Singer splash in my feds, you know, because his arms are as
- 14:24perfect going for this and then it Yeah, and they made some repaints,
- 14:28but it's the first one with the blue that's going into the uh the Hall
- 14:31of Fame. And then they have the is it fourteen inch? I always
- 14:35messes up the twelve inch fourteen inch It's very similar figure and the similar gear
- 14:39and designs and stuff. But yeah, that that Sting figure to me is
- 14:45so uh iconic, and all these figures are. But like, everyone was
- 14:50allowed ten votes and everyone voted for this. That's pretty crazy if you think
- 14:54about it, how wide the miscellaneous spectrum could be. It could have been
- 15:00any Yeah, yeah, and they voted. The committee voted for the WCW
- 15:03Sting. So congratulations, Singer, you are in stag Dang, you are
- 15:09in. My favorite wrest of growing up was you were going in the Hall
- 15:13of Fame. Next up from Jackson, this is one that I think was
- 15:18shocking, the Jacks Classic Superstars series one Ultimate Warrior. So truth be told,
- 15:24I did not vote for this figure. I mean, I love this
- 15:26figure and I think it's very deserving of this award. I guess what in
- 15:31the Jacks category, my mind went in chronological order right away, so I
- 15:35wasn't prepared to vote for I thought for sure Sean Michaels or Brett Series one
- 15:39was gonna win. Yeah. Probably my mind was in the bone cruncher realm
- 15:43in the early days and things like that. This figure is so important because
- 15:50this was during a time thanks to Jeremy Padouer uh, when WWE and Ultimate
- 15:56Warrior weren't on the best terms. I mean that that that, for sure
- 16:00is the legacy of it. He just opened the doors for I mean,
- 16:03I'm sure that, I mean almost what hundreds of guys to get signed by
- 16:07Jax to get classics eventually because he didn't. It didn't matter what your relationship
- 16:11was with, right, And so that's pretty epic in that sense. And
- 16:15this is in his WrestleMania six gear, which is your you love Russell of
- 16:18course. Yeah, he's got the Giants six poster in my player room,
- 16:22the logo painted on the chest. One thing I don't like about this figure
- 16:26is that he has a attitude Era title, which is that's so Jackson.
- 16:33Yeah, but he has the honestly almost forgot about that till you just said
- 16:37that. Yeah, but everybody in the whole set has that right, right.
- 16:41But he's got the tassels, he's got the the There was a lot
- 16:45of extra effort put into him compared to other Jacks products. At times it
- 16:48was really eye popping and it really opened the door also for these exclusive words
- 16:52some of the most rare. We talked about it last week of the pot
- 16:56I posted picture some of the most rare wrestling figures in history. Because The
- 16:59Ultimate War had exclusive deal with Jackson. He later did with Mattel where he
- 17:03got his own exclusive that he could sell on his own website. Another one
- 17:06of those gone off of eBay this week. That's crazy. It's the one
- 17:07you have, so I know you didn't buy it. I didn't buy blown
- 17:10away. The one of one is step there for like twenty five k or
- 17:14something. So the only wrestling figure I'm missing is the only classic superstar I'm
- 17:18missing is the Warrior America one of five. Five there's five. I always
- 17:23thought there was, So here's the deal. There's five. Okay, you
- 17:26and I we talked to Dana, worry about this. She says she has
- 17:30one. Yes, tugboat guy has one. Yeah, okay. Tugboat guy
- 17:34told me that he knows a guy who knows the guy who knows the guy
- 17:37who knows the guy who had it, and it got destroyed in Hurricane Sandy.
- 17:41Like, so is it loose thin or it's oh, maybe it could
- 17:44be loose. I don't know about that. It could be lose. I
- 17:45didn't think about that. But the mint On card was destroyed and Warrior had
- 17:48to write a letter to this guy's insurance company, like proving how valuable this
- 17:55was. Wow? Really yeah? So really there's Stata work the Yeah,
- 17:59that's all. That's Waror's a great guy. So Dana Warrior is never going
- 18:02to sell it. Trust I'm not trying to buy it. She should keep
- 18:04it forever. Yeah, of course, talk about guy. He's probably gonna
- 18:07keep it forever. We talked a little bit about it. But we got
- 18:10two in the wild that we needed. So there's two in the wat Some
- 18:15didn't have it. Maybe he did at one point, but I don't think
- 18:17JEREMYE No, I don't start talking to people. We had a brief conversation
- 18:22with Dana Warrior last week about these figures or just in general, and I
- 18:27for sure we're gonna have to get her on here in death about it because
- 18:30it's very unique, very very unique. And that Ultimate Warrior figure. I
- 18:37just opened one this week because I don't know if you saw. Oh I
- 18:38didn't post the picture yet. I'll post it today to go along with this
- 18:42pod dropping. Steel Cage Customs made us a Hall of Fame retro ring,
- 18:48and I put all of these figures in the Hall of Fame retro ring.
- 18:51So I had I had the Ultimate Warrior min on Card. I had to
- 18:53open them up him. So when you said that, I know you're saying
- 18:59you opened one of the Oh God though, one of these Warriors, Why
- 19:03on earth did you do that? Okay? That makes sense, Okay?
- 19:06And the final inductee to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Hall of Fame. It's
- 19:11a double win for the superstar. It's the Mattel defining moments wrestle Mania seven,
- 19:18Macho Man Randy Sat two times, two time inductee. Wow, another
- 19:23one that won by a landslide. It's crazy to think that it's only it's
- 19:29not even ten years yet, it's going to be ten years that figure might
- 19:33be. Well, I say it's already iconic. It's iconic. Yeah,
- 19:36it's the best wrestling figure Mattel has ever made in my opinion. And the
- 19:40story that we need to have Bill on here to discuss what went into this.
- 19:44Yeah, because Bill went to Macho Man's house personally, which I didn't
- 19:47know till recently, and I was like blown up. He tells the story
- 19:51on Sam Roberts. Yeah, so maybe they're in Sam's archives. Well,
- 19:52we'll get him on to get a good interview out of it. WrestleMania seven
- 19:56outfit I love. It's the purple and white, and there was no figures
- 20:00of them ever in that outfit, which is kind of crazy because that moment,
- 20:04that match, and that moment is so iconic to me. And then
- 20:07they made the Warrior to match, which which so okay, this explains how
- 20:14unbelievably perfect that figure is. In my shelves, I display everything pretty much
- 20:19when I get something new, Like everyone kind of gets pushed to the back.
- 20:22That Warrior and that Savager right up front and they just stay. Everyone
- 20:26else kind of files in behind them, like in their front and center.
- 20:30In my case, because I just think they need to be seen. That
- 20:32figure is so beautiful if I have one gripe with it, okay, is
- 20:38I don't even know what to describe this as the little silver material piece for
- 20:44the hat. Yes, it falls off, and stuff like why isn't it
- 20:45attached? We're glued or like a little drop of glue ski in the back
- 20:49there. Sometimes I've almost lost it. I almost lost it today taking the
- 20:53picture. Okay, I mean I understand. I know what you're talking about
- 20:57because in the handful of times that i've move mine, it's it's scary,
- 21:00it's card. There's no problem, of course, right, I mean I
- 21:04appreciate that effort that it's there, right, Yeah, it looks a little
- 21:07more securely. Yeah, and it is a scary thing to I'm sure God
- 21:12when people are trying to catch up and get that on ebil or something,
- 21:15I'm sure they won't even realize that that's not there or missing or you know,
- 21:19when I when I wrestled to WrestleMania at thirty two, my gear is
- 21:25WrestleMania seven Machra Man inspired. It's like wearing those colors, the purple and
- 21:30the white, but that's more of a blue the macha that's purple. It's
- 21:36blue? Are you Are you kidding? It's purple. It's more in the
- 21:38blue family than the it's purple. Do you really yours is purple? It's
- 21:45not purple, bro, are you colored bled? It's it's in the blue
- 21:48family. It's in the purple family. Oh my god, you're kidding me
- 21:52right right now? The figure it's more blue than purple. What dude,
- 22:00that's purple? That's blue? You were color blinde my friend, that's purple.
- 22:06It's blue. Guys tweet us what do you think this is? This
- 22:10is purple, white and purple. It's more of blue. That is purple.
- 22:15It's blue. When we were on the indies wearing purple and black,
- 22:18you think we were wearing blue and black? Hole time. This is purple.
- 22:19That was purple? This that restling seven Machoin's gear is more blue than
- 22:25kiddy by? Are you blind? That's purple? I don't think so,
- 22:29dude, Bro, this is unbelievable. That is purple? Right there?
- 22:36Am I color blood? Maybe? I think so? I think you are.
- 22:38But now looking at all these pictures, we need a Liz like this
- 22:44then we I feel like we discussed that already. You know they should make
- 22:45a basic version of this. Macho and uh and Liz, that would be
- 22:51easy, you think easy? Right, No macho and just the trunk,
- 22:55you know, the long tights and her and that. Well, that's it
- 22:59for the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all our winners and folks. That
- 23:06right there is what the Major pot is all about. History being made.
- 23:11And mean, you just witness history being made back in twenty nineteen when the
- 23:18Major I don't know if it's them under the Major brand, but it is
- 23:22the Wrestling Figure Hall of Fame. And we're talking about the Wrestling Figure Hall
- 23:26of Fame Class of twenty twenty four. I'm gonna I don't know if I'm
- 23:30allowed to do this or not. I fucking don't give a damn at this
- 23:33point. So I'm just gonna talk about the ballot. I'm gonna talk about
- 23:37what I got lined up, the people I voted for. Did I not?
- 23:41Where did it go? Oh? Hold on a second, because I
- 23:47got the pest winners here, But that's not what my ballot was, all
- 23:52right, So here are here's my ballot here, here's all right? All
- 23:57right, So here's the ballot, and this is some of my choices for
- 24:02this year's Hall of Fame. Of course, the first class, which I
- 24:06think has always been here, is the ljn WWF Rustling Superstars toy line.
- 24:11And here we go. We had five votes. I put in Series one,
- 24:17Andre the Giant. I mean, it goes without question, Andrea one
- 24:19of the biggest stars of his time and of all time. This one is
- 24:26a bit of a wild card. Here my second pick. But I do
- 24:29think when you look at what this toy line was and the figures that they
- 24:34had, they included, you know, managers, and they also included the
- 24:41legendary mean Gene Okerland. I mean, this guy was practically the face and
- 24:45voice of WWF programming at the time. You've got to have him on there.
- 24:51Then I go. I went with Series four Jacob Snake Roberts. I
- 24:53believe his Hasbro figure might have been uh yes, I think his hashpro figure
- 25:02was inducted a previous year, so why not the LD and you know,
- 25:07uh, then you got Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Of course he got the b
- 25:10RG. So there's kind of Italian there. And then I put Bam Bam
- 25:12Biglow because you know, I was looking at the figure. I was looking
- 25:17at the Bam Bam Bigelow and uh it's a pretty good figure. Uh you
- 25:22know they I mean they they nailed it. And you know there's a certain
- 25:25level of uh you know, paint like the I'm not fucking d freedom here,
- 25:30but you know the paint apps and just like the level of detail with
- 25:34the how colorful and eccentric of a character that Bam Bigelow was. It's pretty
- 25:41cool, pretty cool. His ww F run in there. I always like
- 25:44forget like he had that little weird run in the early uh not early,
- 25:48but the late eighties here, all right. So that's the my lj N
- 25:53pick. Let's we'll see who gets inducted in my If I had a guess,
- 25:57it would be that Andre that gets into that classics. He's got that.
- 26:02To me, that's one of my favorite andres as someone that like goes
- 26:06back and watches matches, that's some of my favorite stuff to watch is seventies
- 26:11Andre. That guy was just such a pro. He still had a bit
- 26:18of his mobility, so and then you also got a wide range because he
- 26:22would do these two or even three man handicapped matches on WWWFTV and they were
- 26:30always super entertaining. You could tell Andres having fun, and he would do
- 26:33that around different territories. He would do that in Canada and stuff. But
- 26:37then you also have his stuff from Japan where he's just he's going in there
- 26:45hanging with some all time greats, you know. So yeah, so seventies
- 26:49Andres has a fun place in my heart. And I also that LGN was
- 26:53what I used during the J George Open Challenge at the last FWF, so
- 26:59there's a little tie in. That's the thing. I did not grow up
- 27:03with. L jns are a little bit before my time, but it's kind
- 27:07of like I look at it the same way, where it's like I also
- 27:11didn't grow up on seventies wrestling, but I'm you know, you're able to
- 27:15go back and revisit it, albeit through different lenses. Right, These these
- 27:21other members of the voting committee all have most likely played with l jns as
- 27:26kids. I did not, but I still am able to appreciate the history,
- 27:30and you know, I've done my research on this. Obviously, I
- 27:36wouldn't be a part of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast if it wasn't for my
- 27:41adoration and love for all things wrestling and wrestling figures. So as we move
- 27:47on, we have the this is the Hasbro and the WCW galub category again.
- 27:56Now, now I don't have too much experience with the Globes or the
- 28:00Hasbros really, but last year they had a sting from I think the Series
- 28:07one was the was inducted. This year, Do we have a globe on
- 28:14the ballot? I do? Okay, Well, my first ballot here,
- 28:17I'm going with a figure that is actually kind of sentimental to me, the
- 28:21nineteen ninety three WWF Hasbro Series seven Razor Ramone. I mean, I mean
- 28:27it's a great figure and you got the accessory with the chains. I mean,
- 28:32that's pretty cool, right. I remember finding this figure at a garage
- 28:38sale once, and I remember, like, all, I even when I
- 28:41at the time when I got the figure, I was like, I'm first
- 28:45of all, I was like, this is a great figure. But then
- 28:47I'm like, I gotta you know, I'm gonna keep this thing, Mack.
- 28:48It's a Hasbro. You know, you gotta hold on to it.
- 28:52And I had it on my table, and wouldn't you know, my little
- 28:56dog Rocky he came up. He started biting the bubble and next thing you
- 28:59knew, Razor was off the bubble and then I also subsequently had lost the
- 29:04gold chain, so that was that was a fun time. I should I
- 29:08should try to like buy that figure back to replace it, and I would
- 29:15have paid what I would have eventually sold it for it if I would have
- 29:18sold it. My next pick here is going to be I keep losing my
- 29:27thing. Okay, my next pick here, I am gonna go with the
- 29:32Hasbro series to Roddy Roddy Piper, another A plus figure, great figure,
- 29:38iconic figure. I also got the million Dollar Man Ted de Biassi from series
- 29:44one. Another again it's like this is on the money. It's got the
- 29:47look of him at the time and the suit and everything, and you know
- 29:52what I'm gonna go here. I wasn't sure. I had to think about
- 29:57it. But honestly, if if you think about a figure, and I
- 30:00don't know what the rules are here with variants and chases and whatnot, but
- 30:06to me, when you're getting on the ground floor of learning about wrestling figures
- 30:11and you're on the message boards and you're learning all about you know, the
- 30:17scarcity and the rarity and the value of some of these older figures, then
- 30:22you hear about the legendary series seven Camala with the moon on the belly.
- 30:34I mean, how can that not be a Hall of Fame figure. It
- 30:40is like a fane of leg rounds out that ballot. And then up next
- 30:45we have one that's a little more near and dear to my heart a little.
- 30:48We have the Jack Specific BCA, the WCW Toy BIZ and the original
- 30:53San Francisco Toy Makers ECW lines. Now, like I said, this one's
- 31:00a little more near and dear to my heart. And I was just looking
- 31:03back at my ballot for this podcast, and I just realized I didn't vote
- 31:07for a single BCA figure, even though that was like my wheelhouse, that
- 31:12was my the ones probably I had the most as a kid, or the
- 31:18the BCA figures, and there's not a single one on there. I'm kind
- 31:23of ashamed of that. I was looking at it. It's a little bit.
- 31:30It's a mix of the toy bis and the ECW line. And I
- 31:33was looking at the past winners. You know, you had the series one
- 31:36gold Dust, the Series one HBK, you have the series three Mankind,
- 31:42and then you got the series one Raiser verm On. I feel like that
- 31:45whole first series is gonna get inducted. And you know, if you look
- 31:51past winners of the you know, in this Hall of Fame, there's not
- 31:56really a lot of do CW toy biz on there. And to me,
- 31:59those figs were, you know, they were a little bit ahead of the
- 32:04curve in a lot of ways, and they had more articulation than the bcas
- 32:09and the same The same could be said for my first ballot pick, ECW
- 32:15Series one Sabu. I mean, you couldn't get any more of a perfect
- 32:21Sabou figure at that time, and I mean I could. There's so many
- 32:25things I could say about it. My second pick was the nineteen ninety nine
- 32:30w CW Toybus Smash and Slam Kevin Nash with the red tassels. I mean,
- 32:37as a kid, to me, this figure was just it was badass.
- 32:43It was it was perfect. I mean it was it was right on
- 32:45the money. You know, it's got this tall, badass figure of Kevin
- 32:51Ash. You couldn't go wrong. My third choice is one I'm wondering if
- 32:55I picked it because of all of the hype surrounding Sting at the time of
- 33:02his retirement, with the time that the ballots came out, and I figured
- 33:07you know, if you're gonna have a WCW ToyBiz figure represented in this Hall
- 33:12of Fame, you should have a Sting figure in there. I mean,
- 33:15you had to do it for the glube. You gotta do it for Sting.
- 33:19I mean, dude, excudes, what it means to be toyatic And
- 33:25to me, this is one I think that kind of captures it. It's
- 33:30the two thousand and one evolution of Sting. It's a six pack and I
- 33:37mean I remember seeing the staying in stores. Man, if only I had
- 33:44the money to shell out at that time to get it. But I mean,
- 33:50it tells the story of this man's career with all these toyatic figures.
- 33:55You got Surfer Sting, you got early Croasting, you got wolf Packsting,
- 34:00and then you get like post you know, two thousand, you know,
- 34:05nineteen ninety nine to two thousand and one kind of Sting. This is like
- 34:08pretty rare at the time to see you know, these sort of like classic
- 34:14superstars a figure represented in its like retro form. You didn't really see a
- 34:19lot of that during that time in wrestling figures. You know, like you
- 34:22would have Jackson did that weird Legends line with Freddie Blast and all them,
- 34:28but not a character in his like earlier form. Right, you didn't really
- 34:34see that in resting figures at the time. So that gets Suxra points for
- 34:38me. That goes on my list. That's an iconic. That's an iconic
- 34:43set right there. Talk to me if you disagree, talk to me all
- 34:47right. Let me run through these real quick too. So then we got
- 34:52Sting, and then I voted for the two thousand toy Biz unleashed Vanpiro kind
- 34:58of similar reasons to it's a badass figure and it was kind of unique for
- 35:02its time with the flocked hair. And then I went with the nineteen ninety
- 35:09nine ECW Series one Taz, again a badass figure of a badass wrestler.
- 35:19Now we're moving on to Jack's Pacific non bcas, so you know, I
- 35:25figured this could be Titan Tron's R threes Classic Superstars, and that's exactly what
- 35:31I did here. First off, my first ballot Hall of Famer hear me
- 35:36out, hear me out, hear me out. I voted Series two Ruthless
- 35:42Aggression, Series two Bautista. Now, this figure to me at that time,
- 35:47it meant a lot having that figure in the collection, and it was
- 35:51just like it was the kind of the timing of it, because you know,
- 35:53obviously he had just been the Deacon and then he's coming up on Raw.
- 35:57But by the time this figure's coming out, I'm pretty sure Batista's like
- 36:00getting his way into evolution at this time. So having that that figure come
- 36:06out when it did, Man again, I'll say it again, badass wrestler,
- 36:10badass action figure. And not only that, but I'm looking at it
- 36:15the way, you know, these guys look at the series one BCA,
- 36:20right, you have to put a lot of these guys from that, and
- 36:23I wanted to put guys you know that. I wanted to put some people
- 36:29from those first two series, the ray mystereo, you know what I'm saying.
- 36:31But then again, it's like do I put that John Cena? Uh?
- 36:36He would have better figures, right, you know, So like you
- 36:39don't have to put the early John Cena figure. This, I believe was
- 36:44that series one or two where he's got the Jamie Nobles shorts. You don't
- 36:46got to put that on there. But you got some you got some some
- 36:50heavy hitters in those first two series, so you gotta show some some Honestly,
- 36:54I would even put that Jamie Noble on there now that I think about
- 36:59it, right, But that's my pick right there, Series two, Batista,
- 37:02that's my top pick. My second pick I went with Classic Superstars Series
- 37:09one, Shawn Michaels. Again, Uh, it's it's kind of and you're
- 37:14gonna this is kind of a recurrent theme as as as you see here,
- 37:20you kind of have to include in this Hall of Fame, right, you
- 37:24gotta include people who or sorry, you gotta include people from the early series
- 37:32because those are the things that kind of set forward the momentum of these toy
- 37:37lines. Right, That's why you have to have that Series one Shawn Michaels
- 37:42in that in your BCA, in your BCA wing of the Hall of Fame,
- 37:46right, and it's the same thing Series one, Seawn Michaels. Is
- 37:50it the best version of that attire? I don't know. That's up to
- 37:54Again, that's like, that's a de freedom question. It's not a J
- 37:58George question. From my heart. I remember when this came out. It
- 38:01was a big deal then, and it's a big deal now. We're putting
- 38:05that Shawn Michaels Series one in the Hall of Fame let's go up next.
- 38:12Hear me out. This is gonna be controversial. I'm probably gonna get a
- 38:14lot of heat for it. I'm probably gonna get a lot of backlash,
- 38:16little KB backlash for it. But I'm telling you once again, I'm speaking
- 38:21from the heart and I'm speaking from truth because if I'm not just gonna include
- 38:29Ruthless Aggression Superstars, it's any non BCA figures from Jack specific right, So
- 38:36I'm putting it. I'm voting my vocals right here. For the third choice,
- 38:39here is the R three for I didn't write down the series Big Show,
- 38:45but it's the R three Big Show. And I know you're thinking,
- 38:50what, but you know that that figure kind of stood the test of time
- 38:57and you go on to see it. Obviously they used for that Andre the
- 39:00Giant, which is like, what are you thinking? And that's so Jack's
- 39:04et cetera, et cetera. But think about that impact, man. They
- 39:07got that down when they said R three was real scan, real reaction,
- 39:13real Uh. I forgot what the third R was, real scan, real
- 39:17reaction, but I'll tell you what it was, real height, real girth,
- 39:21real size. They captured the Big Show perfectly, and that was a
- 39:25uh, that figure stood the test of time. You know, as I'm
- 39:30going through my fig fed and it's transitioning from from uh, you know,
- 39:34the TTL style to the R three and all of a sudden, now we're
- 39:37going to roofless aggression. The one figure that was able to hang in there
- 39:42was the Big show Man. I'm telling you. They they hit. When
- 39:45you talk about hitting the ball out of the park, that you know,
- 39:49that's what that AR three line was supposed to be. What it was all
- 39:52about, the unique body types and all this and all that. They hit
- 39:54it with the AR three Big show Man. I'm sorry. All right.
- 39:58My next pick TTL Series five Undertaker. This is the iconic Ministry of Darkness
- 40:05Undertaker, and it's kind of a two fer of you think about it because,
- 40:08like I said, you have to include people from the early lines,
- 40:13right, and you kind of get that with the Undertaker. Obviously, Titan
- 40:16Tron Live was a what do you call it? An iconic line and of
- 40:22itself. But they also again this is how this is what I'm talking about.
- 40:28They've re released this figure in the I believe Classic Superstar Series one,
- 40:35and that just goes to show you how iconic of that figure was that they
- 40:38had to re release it, so, you know, again not a decision
- 40:43I agree with. They were kind of funny in those early days of the
- 40:46of the toy line there, but hey, we did it, baby,
- 40:51let's go. Or it was that classic Superstar series three or maybe five.
- 40:55I just know that it gets re released, all right. And then here
- 41:00we go Rulers of the Ring rape. That's a badass figure of another badass
- 41:07wrestler and the head sculpted, especially at that time as we're just getting you
- 41:14know, this is early days of the real scan and you know, but
- 41:16still the TTL the Titan Tron figures aren't remembered for their head sculpes, right,
- 41:24but that figure nailed it and it's a it's kind of a work of
- 41:28art. All right, we're powering through this. We're in the home stretch
- 41:31here as we talk about one of the most iconic toy the best, in
- 41:36my opinion, one of the best toy lines to ever come out w W
- 41:39E. Mattel. And this one was a tough one for me because,
- 41:45uh, there was a lot of a lot of different ways you can go
- 41:50with it, and this is we're talking about a toy line you know,
- 41:53their Elite line is over over one hundred how many toy lines do you know
- 41:58that? You know what I'm saying, Hasbro got what six? This worked
- 42:04like a series one hundred and six with the Elite, So it's a lot
- 42:07of ground to cover here. I went with one. It's a ringside exclusive
- 42:14Straight Edge Society CM punk. At that time when this came out, I
- 42:20mean, this thing, this was like a supreme for its time with all
- 42:23of the accessories and all of the things that it came with, and it's
- 42:27also depicting a real cool moment in time in wrestling, and you know all
- 42:32that stuff. Seeing Punk was soon with the Straight Edge Society. It comes
- 42:36with the mask, it comes with a sling, it comes with I believe
- 42:40that was the first time they had seem Punk with the new headscan because he
- 42:45had cut his hair. Obviously that was part of that whole story. So
- 42:50it's it's you know, it's that that figure captures a shift and in time
- 42:55in wrestling and history, because that's you know, that goes from one version
- 43:00of seam punk and that turns into a whole whole other version as we would
- 43:04as history would show, and I'd even argue the that money in the bank
- 43:09seeing Punk could also be a Hall of Fame contender. My next choice Defining
- 43:16Moments, Ricky Steamboat. I mean this thing again, I'll say it again,
- 43:22a work of art and a supreme, an ultimate for its time,
- 43:28with all of the accessories that it came with, and it captured this amazing
- 43:34wrestler and it's like in his most toyatic form. And I remember having the
- 43:39all the pieces and assembling it at all, like the the wings and the
- 43:45head. Great figure. Again, that's just I mean, we're how can
- 43:52you go wrong with that? I think the Bret Hart if I'm not mistaken.
- 43:58Yeah, the defining Moments part Hard is in the Hall of Fame.
- 44:01I think that Steamba belongs in the Hall of fame. That's just me,
- 44:06That's just me. He's a hall of fame wrestler, is he not?
- 44:08And that figure is a hall of fame figure? Questioned me on that,
- 44:12I dare you question me on whether or not that's a Hall of Fame figure,
- 44:16and I will debate it and I'll fight for it, just like I'm
- 44:19gonna fight for this one. This to me was one of my most sought
- 44:23out figures. I remember finding it in Toys r US and being so ecstatic
- 44:29and just holding it in the weight of this figure in my hand. I'm
- 44:32talking about Mattel Elite Series fifteen Yoko Zuna. I mean, they captured an
- 44:43epic wrestler in an epic way, one of my favorite Elite figures of all
- 44:49time. Man, I just the memories I have of getting that Yoko and
- 44:54bringing it home and just you know again, and just the sheer size of
- 45:01this this masted on, this monster. I mean, they nailed it.
- 45:07They nailed it. They really did. My next choice, I mean,
- 45:10listen, this is the Major Wrestling Figure podcast, right, so you know
- 45:17that I gotta get this guy on here, bro, you know it.
- 45:22I'm talking about Elite Series nine Zach Ryder. Look obviously a little bit biased
- 45:30here, but let's not forget the a the height of brosky Mania, right.
- 45:37It comes down into its iconic look, the one leg of tights,
- 45:40it's got the molded on headband, and not only that, but they absolutely
- 45:45nailed his fucking sheer entrance jacket that he was wearing at the time, with
- 45:51the details on top of the mash. Mattel went all out and obviously you
- 45:57know what the figure means to Broski, But yeah, I mean, what
- 46:00else can I say? Are you guys gonna really question whether or not that
- 46:04figure is a Hall of Fame figure? To me, it is? To
- 46:07me it is. I don't know about Matt. I'm not even brown nosing,
- 46:12you know. I'm just calling it like it is because I remember getting
- 46:15that figure. And let me tell you something. I remember getting that figure
- 46:19right, and that was one of those like I was lucky to find at
- 46:22the store. Years later. I was like, you know, years after
- 46:27that figure came out. I remember I was like a Toys r us and
- 46:30I'm looking through the thing and I knew for some reason, I was like,
- 46:35I bet people are hiding shit in these shelves. So I started looking.
- 46:37I'm lifting up the shelves, and believe it or not, I'm starting
- 46:40to find a lot of stuff. In one of the figures I find covered
- 46:44in dust and whatever. It was that Zack Ryder not so mint in the
- 46:49box, but there it was. And obviously I already had the figure,
- 46:52so I was just like, I put it right back on the shelf,
- 46:55and yeah, I don't know why I did that. Should have bought it
- 47:00in retrospect, but it is what it is. And then we're gonna end
- 47:04things with Elite Series three John Tina. Again, it's like, if you're
- 47:08gonna have Series one, Hulkogan has bro in the Series one, Sean Michaels
- 47:15bca like, you gotta have the you gotta have the guy. And they
- 47:20got it down with that figure. Man Mattel nailed those John Cena figures.
- 47:24You can't tell me they have it. It's one of those things where like
- 47:30it's like, obviously you gotta nail the figure down, and it's you get
- 47:35it down, and it's almost like people are not as impressed with it,
- 47:37right, you know, versus going out of the box and doing someone with
- 47:42crazy attire. This is kind of it's simple, but still they get it
- 47:46down perfect. And it's a guy who that's your your standard bird. You
- 47:51go, how do you now have a John Cena figure in this Hall of
- 47:53Fame? Huh? Answer me. And finally, as we wrap this up,
- 48:01we got the miscellaneous section, all sorts of hot punch here, and
- 48:07I had some fun. This was the one I had the most fun with
- 48:09because I said, you know, I've seen some of the stuff people have
- 48:14voted in let's actually take a look. We've had Awa All Stars. The
- 48:20Road Warriors were in the twenty twenty Hall of Fame. We had the Tanka
- 48:24Buddies in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, and in twenty twenty three
- 48:32we had in the miscellaneous section. Get this, a figure that was only
- 48:38three years old, a Storm Collectible Juician Thunderliner. Now I was going to
- 48:47pitch I never ended up pitching this, but I was going to suggest this
- 48:51year that we have a modern wing, right, kind of like what the
- 48:55UFC does, They have like a modern wing, which I guess like how
- 49:00would that age? Would that just become a regular wing ten years from now,
- 49:07but you know, you have like figures that are out now that would
- 49:09be available, right. But ultimately they decided that I think there should be
- 49:15They said a five year rule where a figure can't be inducted unless it's been
- 49:20out for more than five years, which you know, I think it's fair
- 49:22because you did have some years where like the Juician Liger got inducted and he
- 49:27had only been out for a few years. The Ultimate Hull Cogan got inducted
- 49:31and he had just been out for a year or two so I get it.
- 49:36But I tell you what, I had some fun with this one.
- 49:40I wanted to go outside the box. I didn't want to put another buddy
- 49:44in the Hall of Fame. We got enough buddies. What about the figure
- 49:46line that started it all, I'm talking about the Popey series one hull Cogin
- 49:52come on now, holl at your boy. I mean this is also like
- 49:58a thing where it's like it's been discussed on the pod at nauseum to the
- 50:02point that Popies made a comeback. You know, it's been covered in vlogs.
- 50:08You gotta have a couple of Popeies in there. And another toy line
- 50:12that gets brought up a lot, or has been brought up a lot on
- 50:15the podcast throughout the years. I'm talking about the Kellyan figures, and I
- 50:20got a couple guys in here. At number two, I'm putting in Raymistereo
- 50:23nineteen ninety four. You gotta have this is Ray's figure. Bro, Come
- 50:28on, bro, and they nailed it too. They weren't messing around like
- 50:31it's not a little bullshit like they they nailed it. Next is a figure
- 50:38that is near and dear to my heart. I hope I didn't mess up
- 50:43by putting this in miscellaneous, but I'm pretty sure it applies. This is
- 50:46the WCW San Francisco toy Maker's LJN Style Series two Vader bow Now. I
- 50:57mentioned earlier that I didn't have a lot of experience with ljns as a child,
- 51:01But did you know? But did you know that one of my first
- 51:08like memories of playing with toys and one of my first action like figures that
- 51:13I had as a little kid was that Vader, that very same LJN style
- 51:20Vader. Again, you gotta put it in, man, I'm sorry.
- 51:23That's a hall of Fame figure for me, and it should be a hall
- 51:28of fame figure for you because it's it's the big Man, It's Vader.
- 51:30I believe that would be his first action figure. No, and I believe
- 51:35he was a Hall of Fame level wrestler, was he not? Next is
- 51:39a figure this is like this was a choice for me because this is one
- 51:45of the first toy lines I learned about outside of what was going on here
- 51:50in the States. I'm talking about the new Japan Chara pro figures. In
- 51:54my opinion, I'm going with this the Luxe Series three Great mooda it comes
- 52:00with the accessories and the mask and the detail on the figure itself is tremendous.
- 52:07Up next, I had to go back and show some love to the
- 52:12toy biz. But obviously at this time was they were like Marvel Toys or
- 52:15whatever they were. It was like, I call it Marvel toy biz,
- 52:19right, and what are you gonna argue with me? You're gonna send the
- 52:23Freedom after me to say, oh, that took you, That took toually
- 52:27Marvel Toys. Yeah, but it was still toy biz at It's hard.
- 52:30But the Jeff Jarrett was the same Jeff Jarrett that they released in a couple
- 52:35of years earlier, you know what I mean. And that being said,
- 52:38my choice series two Shark Boy. Again, you gotta have some people from
- 52:44the early series, and that Shark Boy figure was absolutely perfect. They nailed
- 52:49Shark Boy. They headed down. Was he like a Sting level guy?
- 52:53Was he like aj Styles? No? But one of the reasons I put
- 52:59Shark Boy and it was because, if I'm not mistaken, it was all
- 53:05new tooling, all new molding. A lot of those figures that they used
- 53:10in the early series too, were figures that like they had to use for
- 53:15w CW, and some of the guys still had like the action on them,
- 53:19which I'm not a big action guy. I don't like the action.
- 53:22I'll tell you a secret about me. Any figure that had a fucking lever
- 53:27sticking in the back that you would have to like press down to like throw
- 53:30his arms up, I would, I would chop that off. I would
- 53:35like cut it off so that I can like lay him down flat for the
- 53:38pinfall, you know what I mean. So, I mean that's just me.
- 53:43I'm not a big I'm not a big guy on the action. If
- 53:45I if I recall correctly, like the AJ had the action to the point
- 53:49where like his fucking jacket would have the hole for the lever, like come
- 53:53on, what are we doing? What are we doing here? And then
- 53:57they end up releasing like a proper JA styles. But he was like way
- 54:02taller than the other Toy Biss figures, so that was kind of a mess,
- 54:06but it is what it is. Toy Biz a great line, so
- 54:09much so that I also included Series one Abyss. I mean, come on,
- 54:15I know that one also had an action. I think you squeezed the
- 54:16legs, But the figure as a whole was like pretty good, a pretty
- 54:22good abyss figure, and it's again the start of something at that time,
- 54:29like it was like, oh wait, hold on a second, it's not
- 54:32just WW figures. We're getting these figures. And again just like toy Biz
- 54:38back during the Bunk Engineers, like a lot of these figures had a lot
- 54:42more articulation than ruthless aggression figures. There were you know what I mean,
- 54:46you could do your stuff with them, you know, especially for the wrestlers
- 54:51they had so toy Biz they got to get some love in this Hall of
- 54:54fame. And then we went with U seven Kellyan Official Conan K Dog.
- 55:04We just got the Conan major Bendy. Conan was the biggest star in Mexico
- 55:07at the time of this figure's release. So again to me, that's like
- 55:13looking at a Series one Hull cogin you gotta get the K Dog in there.
- 55:20Then I got San Francisco Toy Makers, CMLL Luke, George Vampiro kind
- 55:25of this in here, a Vampiro super Enconic super Toyatic and that's a great
- 55:34figure of him, his first action figure and some representation on there because you
- 55:37got Triple A. But hey, you also got CMLL on there, So
- 55:42that's you know, mix it up, and then we got Pope, another
- 55:49Pope series one, Antonio and Oki again. This is kind of like a
- 55:53four runner, a front runner of a whole toy line, a wrestling icon
- 56:00in his own right. And then we close it off nineteen ninety five San
- 56:05Francisco Toy Maker Tag team Wrestlers, Harlem heats TV Ray Booker t Holler at
- 56:12your boy, and that's my pick for the twenty twenty four Wrestling Figure Hall
- 56:20of Fame. Let me know what you guys think. That's a little inside
- 56:23baseball. I know it's a lot, but that's just how I feel.
- 56:27That's just how I move, That's just how I do it. It's your
