When I was a kid I collected hasbro figs. My grandmother would take me almost every day to buy a new figure at Toys 'R Us or Bradley's. After awhile I had a nice loose collection going along with the carrying case and a custom ring my Dad had built me. Unfortunately when we moved cross country my Mom had to sell them to get us some dough and she's felt bad about it for awhile. I give her a hard time about it every now and then but in a joking way. It doesn't bother me and I understand why she had to though I would love to have them all back. About two years ago I decided I would start collecting them MOC. I have about a dozen or so but then once the Mattel line came out I wanted to get some of those as well like the Legends so it's been a very busy last two years. I don't collect much Hasbro MOC anymore as prices can be crazy but when I find a deal I will get them. I'm not after a full MOC set anymore just a few of the rarer ones now but I am working on a complete loose set. Check out my wants in my sig Anyways I found two really great deals on eBay last week and they both arrived today. So without further ado... By far my best pickups yet and three of my all time favorites. My praise for HBK and Bret would take up too much time. They came out to less than $17 each shipped. I met Kerry Von Erich in 1991 when I was about 6 or 7 so great to have his hasbro fig now. Might be my favorite hasbro on card yet if not for Shawn. This one is the purple heart, is there a difference in rarity between it in the pink? Been trying to get this fig for awhile now and finally did at a great price. Aside from the price tags and residue I'm really happy with the pickups and can't wait til I have more room to display them all. Next up we have... Wrestling Buddies! I had Hogan, Warrior and Savage as a kid so it's great to have some of these guys back and they really bring back some fond memories for me. Like when I used to jump off my couch and drop the Savage's elbow onto them. I'd love some more info on Hawk and if he is rare or maybe what he is valued at. I don't see him pop up much on eBay. $26.95 shipped for the pair, not too bad I don't think. I'll try and get pictures of all my hasbro MOC up this week, like I said I only have about a dozen but it's a start. I need to dig them out but hope you guys enjoyed these.

Congrats fella, Hawk and Animal are by far the rarest Tonka Buddies the price you paid is a steal. Ive seen double what you paid just for Hawk!

Hey guys! I'm back with a HUGE update, earlier I mentioned I also collect Mattel but there has been nothing new at retail here since December so I kind of went on a little Hasbro spree and over doubled my MOC collection in the process. Enjoy! First up is one of my best looking cards. Hard to find any flaws on it at all which prompted me to buy more from this seller. Next up is Nailz making my yellow card series nearly complete. Just need Owen Hart! Someone help me out Ooooooooh Yeeeeeaaahhh the madness is running wild. One of my all time favorites, the Macho Man. Some people don't like this fig but I've always loved the colors. And the madness continues in the king version. My first and only SummerSlam card so far. Never knew the bubble was so much larger. Now we are starting to get serious. From the same seller who I got yellow Crush from. All in excellent condition, no creases, dings, tears or anything to complain about. My only gripe is Bret is not laying flat slightly, would a zoloworld case correct that? Black tights Shawn in near perfect condition to go with the yellow card I already have. And like Shawn a near perfect purple Razor to go with my yellow. Missed out on this fig at the last minute a lot so very happy to finally have him and in such beautiful condition to boot. Won this guy on eBay last week. My first green card! Snagged these two together from a Toy Shop in New York. One of my favorites as a kid, the Big Boss Man. Great condition except for that darn price tag Got a great deal and he is in very good condition. Had yellow so needed to go green Probably my finest piece yet. A friend of mine is an indy wrestling promoter and offered to sell me this. It's signed! And here are all my greens together, I need to get some cases for them especially signed Billy Gunn Got these for a great deal from fellow board member djloch. Warrior's bubble is sun faded which I knew up front so no biggie and Akeem is in really great shape minus a small tear towards the bottom. Both still display great and I didn't have to pay eBay prices for them My twin towers are now complete Warrior 1 to go with Warrior 2. Warrior 3 is next I hope? And lastly today another must have, Andre the Giant. HUGE thanks to board member Collectors Heaven. He really hooked me up and gave me an amazing deal on Andre. And there's my whole collection, sorry for the poor full pics was tough to get them all together. Hope you enjoyed these! I've got 3 more MOCs coming in next week that I will report back with. Happy to answer any questions.
