Out of that list?  Gorilla Press Warrior!

Probably the first series Macho Man. I was so excited to get him because I never had the LJN version. My LJN Macho Man was a Hulk Hogan with a blue ink pen beard.

[Slingshot Suplay]

The Texas Tornado was my all time favorite hasbro fig. I still have Owen hart, the rockers and demolition as well.

[PrimeTyme]

All of them. Honestly it is my favourite toy line to this day. I would love to have a complete collection but I don’t have the funds for that.

If I had to choose a Top 5 it would probably be Hulk Hogan 1, Andre The Giant, Bret Hart 2, Ultimate Warrior 2, Mr. Perfect 2.

Demolition Smash was awesome. He was always my go to.

I had my Hasbro pink shades Bret sitting by my bedside table for years. I'm sure he's still in storage somewhere in my parents' house

All of them. Im short a 123 Kid and series 8 Taker away from a complete set, and best part is I’d say 60% of my collection is the ones I played with as a kid. Im lucky I got most of mine before the pandemic inflated the market. Three years ago you could have got the Kid for $175, now its $650 minimum, and we’re talking loose here.

As far as particular favorites, I always like the ones who’s sculpts were never recycled. The Warlord is one sweet figure. The detail in the abdomen of the Anvil was a true to life representation of Neidhart’s roid gut. Series 3 purple Warrior is iconic of the line.

But by far the worst Hasbro is the Ric Flair. A terrible head sculpt and they just painted his legs into trunks despite having been sculpted to have ripples to show long tights for Rick Rude.
And releasing Earthquake in his blue singlet but Typhoon in his Natural Disasters attire in the same series always frustrated me.

It's really hard to narrow it down. I love all of them.

Warrior 3 (purple trunks), Bret Hart 1 (pink sunglasses), Piper, Slaughter, and Macho King are some of my top picks.

The Hasbro figures are my favorite wrestling figures ever. As far as my favorite Hasbro one, gotta go with Doink. The green hair was epic!!!

When the Green cards came out, my grandmother got them all for me at a Hills in PA, when she was in town for her mother's funeral. Kid was probably $3 or $4. A year and a half later I was buying figures to keep on the card, the original Kid I had was loose, and my parents were furious I wanted to get the Kid for $65 from a trading card show dealer. But I got it and thought I was so smart selling it for $100 on ebay in 2012. It's worth more now? DAMN!!!!!

I personally liked the LJNs better than Hasbro, maybe because they were bigger, maybe because I didn't collect them during the original run and it was harder to get to a complete set in the 1990s. I can see why Hasbros are more popular though. And some of the sculpts were spot on. I think the reason why Earthquake was in his pre-Disasters outfit was because he was supposed to be a single and Typhoon was originally supposed to be Tugboat. Most of the 1992 series guys are based on late 1990, early 1991 outfits but with being a repaint of Quake, Typhoon could be made easily to catch up.

One thing I didn't like as a kid with the Hasbro's was the hats wear sculpted on. LJN almost always had hats as actual accessories. What's stranger is that Hasbro did G.I. Joe and I think every Joe figure had lots of accessories. It's also strange they could do so many Joes per year while they were pretty limited on WWF toys until really 1993. They stepped it up in 1992 a little though.

Akeem-I loved his belly flop action move. Made playing with him more fun.

Ultimate Warrior 2-Warrior was my favorite growing up. His first figure's sculpt kind of stunk and didn't fit him well I thought.

Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, Brutus Beefcake, Big Boss Man 2-I always liked guys who had sculpts where you could do their finishers with them. All of these fit that description.

Legion of Doom-I always liked LOD and I remember finding them at a Toys R' Us long after they were gone from the WWF and my Dad bought them for me. Just kind of an unexpected thing that I thought was cool.

Bret Hart, British Bulldog, The Dragon, The Undertaker-I remember going to Toys R' Us with my Mom and all the figures on the shelf were guys I had already. My Mom asked a stocker if they had any more figures in the back. Sure enough the stocker came out with a box with all of these guys in it and my Mom bought all of them for me. Definitely a good day.

Demolition Smash for me. His epic feud with Yokozuna for the WWF title was legendary - culminating in his victory in a casket match (ice cream tubs work surprisingly well as a makeshift coffin).

Smash was my third Hasbro, after Hogan and Savage, and it was a long time before I was able to get Ax, so Smash was a main event singles star for me as well.

Ricky Steamboat, Clothesline Bossman so you could do his finish, Macho King, Bearhug Hogan (which should have been the body for the Crush figure, perfect for the head vice) later on the Yoko figure just for being such an absolute unit.

That Rick Rude/Ric Flair body was the worst, so skinny you couldn't fit most of the other figures in to do the action.

[Aceorton]

Going strictly on which ones looked the coolest, I would say:

The Warlord
Papa Shango
The Model
Tatanka
Rick Steiner

[fw91]

HBK white pants black shades

Bam Bam Bigelow

Heel Crush

Mr Perfect Blue with Yellow Back

[J is Justice]

I have absolutely no idea why, but my favourite figure as a kid was the Greg Valentine one. Yokozuna, Doink, Bam Bam, Giant Gonzalez, Papa Shango were top tier, too.

The paint on the Steiners was solid and never wore off. Fun fact, they used Demolition Crush’s lower half for Rick Steiner. Has the studs for Demolition on the trunks. Go have a look

And the tattoos on Shango! He is also one of the figure molds never reused, although the rumored Orange Card series would have seen a Diesel using that body as a base
