Does anyone still play with wrestling figures?

[Instant Classic]

I'm not judging anyone if they do, but I stopped back when I was like 13.

I do, and I'm almost 29. I actually stopped for about six months after Jakks started making the figures, then I caved and started collecting the Mattel line.

It's a nice way to de-stress, plus I love to fantasy book and then see the ideas happen.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

I still do, I love what Mattel has done with the line after seeing the figures always being muscular and the same height it got annoying. Its good to have the SHIELD almost the right size.

[slappy]

Yes.

When I played with wrestling figures I would sub in ninja turtles to fill in some roster spots.

Holy crap, a Twin peaks dancing dwarf reference !!! Didn't expect that.

I did the same with Hulk and DBZ characters. lol

I don't play with any of my figures any more... Usually I stand them upsome place...

But I haven't bought a figure in years... I think the last one I bought was the Earthquake Legends one.

I once had the Joker and Carnage team up to face Batman and Spiderman in a steel cage made consisting of my mom's oven racks. It was the co-main event under Giant Talking Hulk Hogan vs Giant Mandarin figure.

I think I stopped when I was 8.

The action figures are so much better now, it's impossible not to try them out here & there. The older "figures" I had wouldn't move. They were stuck in one pose each & it was complete ass, but I still loved it. Luckily I have a younger brother who also grew up a fan, so he would buy all the latest ones & ask me to play. Who was I to say no?

There's at least 3 Great Khali's in the collection. 2 Iron Shieks. & 5 Matt Hardy's.

Walmart doesn't have the ones I want, AJ Lee and Kaitlyn.

If you enjoyed that, you may enjoy the rest of my fed.

Complete episode list May be a bit (understatement) tasteless at times.

Also, episode 1 is completely different from the rest of the series.

Great, will have to check it out .

If I still had mine, I absolutely would still play with them. I stupidly traded all my figures to my younger cousin about 5 years ago and I've regretted it since.

Now I see these awesome new figures in the store of guys I didn't have when I still had some, and I try to convince my niece and nephew to start playing with them.

[MichaelMartini]

No, but then again I'm forty. I haven't played with any since those crappy rubber ones in the 80s. I do, and probably always will, play the video games though.

[What?]

My fiance would go out to run errands and I get the old urges to break out the hasbros for sure. I used to flip the blue ring upside down and pretend it was a steel cage match. I'd use ninja turtle figures like general tragg as a hoss monster heel to take on the hulkster.

In the mid-90's I shaved off warlords silver mask to make him Steve Austin, and I went through a gaggle of black sharpies and whiteout to make my nwo.

Anyone ever use red washable markers to make blood?

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

On occasion. It's usually when I'm cleaning my room, I'll find them and end up playing with them for a couple of hours, forgetting what I was supposed to be doing.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

I just have mine on a few shelves. I do have an arena set up for photo ops once in awhile, though.

I played with them like CRAZY until my freshman year of high school. Got a girlfriend and yadda yadda, interests change etc. But I absolutely loved it while I still had the imagination for it. I kept all my old championship linage papers, storyline branches, stable listings and all the other fun stuff that goes along with running your own little fed. I sometimes wish I was a kid right now so I could grow up with the kick ass product Mattel puts out. Their Elite line has seriously reinvigorated my love for the hobby.

When I was 11-12 years old, I used to make clay figures of WWE wrestlers. I base the rosters off of the video games I played. I even made a WWE ring w/ shoe strings for ropes, use nails for the placement of turnbuckles, Styrofoam for the barricade, shoe boxes for the crowd and one for the stage. I also used cardboard for a ramp, I used a box my fan came in for the arena. Plus, I used paper to make the sets for RAW, SmackDown, and the PPVs for whatever time period I chose.
