What was the first wrestling figure(s) you owned? Not counting my m.u.s.c.l.e. collection (this was before i watched wrestling, so i used them as superheroes vs villains), the earliest ones i remember having were awa remco figures of michael hayes, steve regal, and baron von raschke i got at a yard sale, and the first ones i bought new were the hasbro andre and akeem figures.

LJN Piper, followed very quickly by George Steele. Not too long after that, got a bunch of LJNs and Remco AWAs for Christmas.

I bought a 4-pack in 1997 of Undertaker, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, and Rocky Maivia. They all came with their belts. They were the $5 Jakks bone crunchers, which I still consider my favorite type of wrestling figure. From that point on my parents would allow me to choose one new one per week to add to my collection.

I remember having some NWA/WCW figures that were posed and would not move, specifically a Sting, Ric Flair and Sid Vicious.

Ripped and Ruthless 2 Kane. I searched high and low for one, because I wanted to see what "Kane really looks like under the mask" as the package boasted. My friend's mom worked at Toys R Us and helped me get one.
I was *kinda* disappointed to find that it really WAS pretty much what Glenn Jacobs looked like at the time (plus a tampographed scar on one temple).
From there, I collected EVERY Kane figure up through about 2004...with the exception of the S.T.O.M.P. figure, which I WILL find one day. Even if the rest of my collection remains gathering dust in my parents' attic half a world away.

Oh I am not sure. My older brother had loads and loads of Hasbro WWF figures and the ring with an actual bell attached, but I wasn't into them. I remember going to Toys R Us and getting the Jakks WWF Monster Ring, the absolutely giant sized all black ring with red ropes, and Steve Austin and STOMP Undertaker figures.  I never got a referee with mine, but it was the same box as this one.  |

My first 2 were LJN, both Hogan...
They weren't the same one though, so I still had them fight each other. One was yellow tights Hulkster, the other had a white t-shirt and red trunks.
It was a few months later that Ted Arcidi joined the party, making it those 3 for the longest time. --.--
I eventually had quite a few though.

Started with LJN Hogan and Big John Studd. I must've had over 50 of that line in the end plus the ring and steel cage. Spent a lot of my childhood playing with those.

The Killer Bees. My mom bought them since there were two, since didn't know they were tag partners and since I never saw them wrestle, neither did I.
I eventually had a whole slew of them, including the ref, Vince, Slick, Okderlund.

I think I must have had some Birthday or Christmas money saved up because I splashed out on the Hasbro ring with the soundboard and the weird selection of The British Bulldog, Sid Justice and The Nasty Boys.

LJN Piper, followed very quickly by George Steele. Not too long after that, got a bunch of LJNs and Remco AWAs for Christmas. I dont remember which I had first but definitely had Kamala, One Man Gang, and Mean Gene. I remember having some NWA/WCW figures that were posed and would not move, specifically a Sting, Ric Flair and Sid Vicious. I had almost all of those. Never got why Sting had his pose When that shoulda been Lugers. That just screamed torture rack to me |

LJN Hogan. I went to Wal-Mart to buy a He-Man figure and bought Hogan instead. I had never watched wrestling.
