Not sure if this is the right place to post this....but I just wanted to thank those out there who have helped me build my hasbro collection. Before really collecting them, I had a broken hogan, earthquake, typhoon, macho king, piper, jake roberts and hacksaw. now I have about 40-50 of them, and only missing a few. And it's all thanks to the people on these boards; elmsrock, mo4sho, and docfairday come to mind right now, but there are others helping build my collection. Soon I shall post pictures of my collection once things come in the mail. But I'm even getting two, working on the third green card figures loose! (yoko and ludvig, and maybe bart gunn!) Also, if it weren't for the wf'ers that were on this thread, I wouldn't know much about hasbros. But now I can say I know just about everything there is to these little wrestlers. They've actually become my favorite part of my collection! I thought this would be a great thread for me to let people know I'm trying to fulfill getting a FULL collection of hasbros. I also plan to create customs and share my formulas with all. Like I said, Pictures will come soon of my collection  Oh, if you can help me with my collection, please PM or post here. But I thought it would be fun to post a nice story about my search for these figures. Also a special shoutout to Billgatesmark ("wrestlingfigure" new name?) thanks for the tip on magic erasers! these things can clean up an action figure without harming the paint! These things are truly "Magic"
1st post of GDubs quest to find the holy grail of a complete loose hasbro collection:*Wishing that he had taken pictures, he seeks his digital camera, but also seeks a very rare item; the bootleg mannix hasbro DIESEL head! After posting in his sig that he needed it, GDubs was confronted by an old friend of his, plasticsuperstar. Plastic says he has it, and possibly other figures!  *G Dubs neerly pees his pants with joy, and starts to create his diesel custom. However, GDubs will need the black bushwhacker luke and big bossman wth clothesline action first.... *He also stops by a going out of buisness sale....Office Depot that is, and purchases a buttload of metal racks that work perfectly for GUARDRAILS! Once he spraypaints them silver and alters them to his liking, he may have a few extra for trade... *In other news, he has found a brotherless scott steiner, tan butch, and texas tornado figure! He could really use that other brother for scott... Soon, I will post Pictures of my collection. Stay tuned! |

aright mate!, glad to see your getting your hasbros sorted. Im a huge colector and have completed it lose, i also have 100ish seconds that i use for customs, some of which i may not need but maybe willing to trade for stuff. i may have 3-4 of your 'needs' in a bag, not sure exactly what i have. Some of the 100+ figs have marks and dodgy action, some are perfect. Give me a shout if interested and we can go from there. P.s, i do live in the UK, so shipping costs are a bit of a nob, but if you have anything im interested in, at least you can save via trading. Just to add to that, i do make customs... heres some of my older work, i take orders, blah blah www.myspace.com/foxethcustomsanyway, good luck in the hunt |

Here's the new update for all of you following this amazing story! (well, the two of ya. lol)
* I have been talking to an old friend on these boards about the mannix diesel, and he is interested in possibly getting rid of a bunch of figures, a good chunk of them I need! (red yoko, nailz, doink, bam bam, 2 RICK STEINERs! man, I've been waiting for just one! now I can make steiner customs too!, and a bunch of others)
ALONG WITH M.U.S.C.L.E. Bootleg Hasbros!
these are the one solid color shrunken hasbros. Kinda like plastic army men, except with spandex tights....lol
If this goes through, I will only be missing 15-20 in the ENTIRE COLLECTION
* Also, I almost bought an Adam Bomb Hasbro on ebay, but someone bid at the last moment, winning it for only $23!
oh well, can't win them all.
Stay tuned!

Well, I finally got some stuff in for my collection! Unfortunately, the white yokozuna I recieved wound up with a broken foot  here it is, my collection! you will notice the purple undertaker and green macho man customs I created (on the top shelves and bottom shelf on the far right.  Now I need just a few hasbros to complete the entire collection. If I can get another white yoko, I'll try to fix up the old one and give him the red pants, black band look he never got, and might add the ol' beard! Plus, I just decided to start collecting more of the old stuff. I've decided to collect the wrestling buddies made by tonka. ;D so if you got any of those, PM me please! Thanks again for the help tracking these down. What started as 5 or 6 hasbros has turned into this impressive collection! Plus, there's more to come, including a DIESEL Custom, along with Legion of Doom in wrestling gear WITH REMOVABLE SHOULDERPADS! |

Don't think you have the right snake for Roberts: it should be darker and with spots.

Now I'm getting somewhere. Well, Repo Man isn't my most wanted, but he's missing so I guess that's still a good thing. Speaking of hasbro stuff (of course! ;D) I'm working on an Owen hart custom figure! I also finished legion of doom in entrance gear with BCA shoulderpads, which work great. I also got MANTAUR in the works. ;D Let's see, what's next.....perhaps BattleKat and Max Moon? I've also considered making Haku, but unsure which head to use. Also, thanks to STOM, I'm trying a hard plastic glue to repair my broken yokozuna leg! Let's hope it works! Well, that's about it for me right now. Stay tuned, as I'm recieving a Ludvig Borga in the Mail! ;D (too bad it has one broken finger; typical finnish.....) lol jk |

Hasbro is by far the best wrestling figure line out there. What I like about Hasbro is that they didn't overdo it with re-releasing the same wrestler 10 or more times. I'm hoping to own the complete WWF Hasbro set MOC someday. |
