I mean, I'm pretty sure Jeff Jarrett never wore a shirt that said, "Don't Tick Me Off!." He should have. It would have been like owning his lame personality instead of looking like such a tryhard.

The Ron Simmons figure with "Farooq" on his t-shirt instead of "Damn". Yes, they misspelled "Faarooq".

Oddly enough Hasbro was spot on with the first Yoko. He must have wore that right before going switching to the more common red/black and white/black. He may have even worn the outfit from the second Hasbro. It seems like WWF didn't know what to really do with Yoko originally, whether he was from Polynesian Islands or Japan and some didn't even pronounce his name right. And of course his original saying was "Yosh" and shown by Hasbro rather than Banzai.

Did anyone else have the Christian figure in his entrance pants and wish he wrestled in something like that at some point? Lil me did.

He did wear the outfit from the second Hasbro at least once (I saw a pic of him vs Taker from PWI, this was pre WM9, and he had the red strap and black tights).

The funniest blunder from this time period was Mark Henry in a tight little speedo: They were using a cloth singlet for him at the time since they had the body made already, so that's why he's just in his drawers. He technically wore a speedo once on tv, but it was a red one for a backstage hot tub segment. I'll never forget that memory... Never forget:

I kinda think he wore these but unlike his rubber version, the real Rick Rude could keep his thumbs out of his f***ing pants.

I don't think the Nasty Boys wore the yellow shirts from their final San Francisco Toy Makers figures.

I had the Wrestlemania 21 Steve Austin where he's wearing his classic "Unleash Austin" shirt

I mean, I'm pretty sure Jeff Jarrett never wore a shirt that said, "Don't Tick Me Off!." I had a slightly different version of Jarrett that had nothing on his shirt and his guitar said “Don’t Make Me Mad!” Also when Billy Gunn starting having “Mr. Ass” written on his tights, I remember getting his figure and being eager to see what it said on his tights. It said “Mr. BA”

Rick Rude wore those LJN tights I think in early 1988. They were pictured on a WWF postcard set I believe. It was Hasbro who tried unsuccessfully to replicate the pants leaving out all the colorful details.
I remember Toymakers making a bunch of repaints with the Nasty Boys and Harlem Heat but they really wore those outfits, except the yellow Nasty's as mentioned. The micro toys had them in their last shirts which was a blue/green combo and those would have been cool for the 6 inch figures.
I'm surprised no one mentioned the Toymakers ECW set featuring guys in colorful outfits like Tommy in yellow, New Jack in blue, Tazz in purple. I thought that was pretty weak and not representative of the hardcore ECW.
Also Figures Toy Co which had a pretty awesome Legends series started cutting corners in their last few sets (sets of two of the same guy) with Tito wearing bright orange trunks, Bob Orton wearing neon trunks and a few others.

wtf was this I believe this is what's known, in "the trade", as having a load of leftover Big Show bodies and just using them instead of making a new one. or Bundy but yep exactly

Also surprised no one mentioned the LJN Warlord with just trunks. Some years ago cited it to mean WWF was planning his singles run but that's BS. The LJN was planned like August 1989 at least. It was probably Grand Toys who took over the line cutting corners which stinks since Rude and Haku and Bossman were pretty detailed.
