The Figures By Era List

[lestial12]

Ok so awhile back i agreed to help make a list of Figures by Era. After close to a week i have come to my wits end because I dont know which era the Heritage series figures fit in for the most part. I have done well so far on my own with the WrestleMania Heritage figures, but as far as Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series im kinda lost. And I'm not going to do the PG era because that would just be to time consuming, because lets face it every non Flashback/Heritage figure made by Mattel fits into the 08- current criteria and thats just too damn many figures. So if anyone wants to add to this list, thats cool with me. But here it is for your viewing pleasure the Figures by Era list!

*NOTE* The figures in this list are categorized by attire. (Example Royal Rumble Heritage Bret is in 80s, RSC Bret is early 90s, and DM Bret is in Attitude Era.)

Yeah, i based the list off their attires. Dusty Rhodes is definitely a 70s/80s guy, but since he's in the polka dots, i put him in the early 90s era. Should have clarified this at the beginning, sorry.

I think Mattel was trying to cover all their bases with giving fans different looks consistent with the era they're best known from (although as I say that, I wonder why they went with a pants look for Jimmy Snuka when we all know him for his bare feet...same with a short haired Rick Rude, which is definitely a 90s look). I think had the Legends series continued we might have gotten an NWA/WCW/Mid-South era Dusty Rhodes rather than the polka dotted look he had. Still, Dusty is in a gray area since he's definitely best known as an 80s dude, he still debuted in 1989 in the WWF so he could go either way.

A curious thing in the case of Ultimate Warrior: if they were gonna give us his WMVI colors, why did they use that spot in Legends 4 for his early, slightly blander look? Same with Legends 6 Kerry Von Erich/Texas Tornado..one would have done the job (probably would have done well with just Kerry...he was much more successful in WCCW than the WWF) and that extra spot given to probably David Von Erich if they wanted to honor the Von Erichs in some way.

[lestial12]

With Kerry he was supposed to be in a two pack with Kevin and Texas Tornado was just going to be a single figure, but after the failure of the first line of Legends 2 packs at retail the Von Erich pack was separated and put into the final retail line of legends. But as for this list and i'll have to add a disclaimer in the OP, i based this list on the attire the figure portrays. I.E Legends 2 Jake was from This Tuesday in Texas (1991) hence why i put that figure in early 90s.

[Spear Guy]

Yay finally posted!

[Nivro™]

Bushwackers and Dusty could go both ways as they both debuted in the WWF in 1989 as mentioned before. Kamala, personally, is an 80s guy to me. Someone like Duggan could swing between 80s and 90s also.

[onleeone643]

Damn must have took a while doing this list.

[inkboy83]

Great List, hope you give updates as time passes

[DudeAbides]

For Attitude Era you could add SDCC Undertaker, and the (i think it was) Rumble Heritage or Elite ? Goldust. Also Elite 18 Undertaker in Ruthless Aggression. Excellent list!

Thanks everybody for the feedback! The list was rather time consuming but fun!, And these figures (as well as RSC Kane and Mysterio) have been added. Any other additional figures needing to be added can be posted here or pm'd to me so i can update the list. Also can this get stickied?

[BCizzle]

Very cool list!

One figure you can add is Elite 22 Giant - he's from 97-98.

Some of the figures from Basic 29 will be from these older eras, too, but we're gonna have to wait until we get more info or see protos to know which goes where.

Just thought of a couple more -

Summerslam Heritage Randy Orton - from 2004
Summerslam Heritage Rey Mysterio - from 2006
Summerslam Heritage Triple H - from 2007

AND the Rey Mysterios from the 6-pack. They are from 95, 96, 02, 03, 05 and 05.

[jmendola55]

They should sticky this

[Damien The Snake]

Great list. Thank you very much.

If you have time could you separate the 02-07 era between smackdown and raw?

But didn't a lot of those guys change brands?
