These all look like Fire Pro sprites with just as much, if not less, facial detail. And someone used Giant Baba's head for RVD. Haha. Exactly.

I never quite got the point of those action figures that could sweat. Seriously, who's going to buy an action figure based on the selling point that it sweats? To say nothing of the fact that they all looked like a boob job gone horribly wrong. The commercial with the yodeling was the icing on the cake. I thought it was disturbing that the Val Venis one came with clam chowder

The "Your uncle Chuck has started going to the gym a couple times a week to walk the track because his doctor warned him he's at risk for diabetes" figure. I... I had this figure when I was a kid. I think my aunt gave it to me on my b-day when I was 6. I had no idea who it was. I can officially say Dr. Death Steve Williams beat Godzilla, the Red Ranger and a knock off transformer toy in the most epic fatal 4 way in history.

It's supposed to be Dr Death Steve Williams. I think this is when he would wake up on a Saturday morning. Looks like "Middle Aged Lifeguard" Steve Williams.

If we're throwing WCW in the mix, this one is one of my... "favorites" Those are Crispin Wah proportions.

Jakks' "attempt" at Too Cool in Classic Superstars from later '00s. Most people don't even know these exist. The first Too Cool figures from the early 2000s in the white baggy pants were among their best figures. These cost twice as much as those ones. And it should be noted that Scotty has the same torso they used for Brock Lesnar: Jakks' final year included many figures that they decided weren't worth painting details on. Here's a rare image of the original Christian/Swagger 2-pack. Christian is jacked to all hell, but otherwise, it's solid: Here's how it came out at retail: Here's a bonus John Cena from the same year wearing his trademark plain red shirt: And an Orton (sorry for pic quality, these were from my old cellphone): This is Owen Hart's first attitude era figure. His old ones all had longer hair from '96. Pretty great figure: Here is the Jeff Jarrett they produced a short time later. Notice any similarities? Like...the fact that they reused the entire Owen body and thought painting a goatee on would hide that? They even just left him in a blank tanktop he never wore to save money. There are several Jeff Jarrett's like this. Another fun fact partly related: they reused The Patriot head for Owen Hart's Blue Blazer figure. This was already posted but it deserves another look. Like...wow. What was the attempt here? Shawn wore white pants. These are Lance Storm's ECW tights. Classic Superstars 3-pack, featuring Giant Paul Bunyon and open-mask Kane because they were too lazy to make a new head mold for him. It's baffling how this stuff even got approved: Best for last - whatever the f*** this monstrosity is. From the dirty pants, to Triple H's biker hat, to the backwards shirt, to that terrifying head, it has to be one of the most messed up figures I've ever seen. By the way, not a bootleg.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler} I actually had the Taz, RVD and Sabu figures. The only moves they were good for were the action features. Really, I had more fun twisting Sabu around than actually using him to punch. The chairs look incredibly stupid, but they were actually some of the best chair accessories I owned because they didn't break into so many pieces after one chair shot spot.

Ladies and Gentlemen - The Rockers..... That's not Marty Jannetty, that's Ernest friggin' Borgnine. I was just thinking they look like the movie Garbage Pail Kids. But then, so does Ernest Borgnine.

This one was pretty lame. Another one of those "what am I supposed to do with it(?)" toys. You squeezed his legs and his arms separated. You couldn't really wrestle with him at all. i gave that to a friend for his birthday back in the day and his head came off within the hour it was out of the pack after giving the Undertaker a diamond cutter

I once broke Kevin Nash's leg off simply by squeezing it to do the action it was designed to do. My DDP is still in good condition, though still as useless as ever.
