I know there have been a few 'Your favorite figure' etc threads, but I don't recall this one.
What was the first wrestling figure you ever bought or received as a gift?
Mine was a Larry Zybysko/Ric Flair AWA Remco two-pack.

I barely remember getting them. I was probably 3 and my brother was 6. I also remember owning the AWA Remco ring, but I think that got destroyed pretty early. I may have gotten that at the same time.
I know my brother and I picked out the wrestlers and since I didn't have a job and my allowance was like $1 or two a week, I'm guessing my parents bought them for us. I still have them, but I don't have them displayed with my other figures. They are in a toy chest I had when I was a kid with my MUSCLES and He-Man toys.

Either a couple Remcos or Hulk/Sheik LJNs. I would have been about 3-4 at the time so I couldn't possibly be able to tell.

I still have all my muscle men figures from when I was a kid. And some heman figures.

I can't remember exactly, but it was either Nikolai Volkoff or Hillbilly Jim from the WWF LJN series.

Jakks BCA Series 1
Me & my brother were at Wal-Mart and saw them for the first time and we talked my mom into putting the entire line on layaway for us and she let us buy 2 and bring them home: Razor Ramon & Bret Hart. I still remember how excited I was when I first saw them.

LJN Strike Force. My brother and I had to share it. I got Tito, he took Martel. Someone had already stolen the belts (even a problem in the 80's!!)

I remember someone left a Killer Bee LJN in a playground at school but that was before I knew it was a wrestler. The first one's that I got from a store were Hasbro Jake Roberts & Ted Dibiase in suit.

My first figure was LJN single carded Dynamite Kid I got for my birthday in November. He was Followed by many more LJNs at Christmas including a single carded Davey Boy. I wish I could've told 9yr old me to leave them in packages! Lol
