Just an aisle? Try 4 aisles of wrestlers at KB toys. Honestly, maybe it was the one in my local area, but if you wanted wrestling figures KB toys was the place to go IMHO. But sadly, they are both gone. Adapt or parish, and neither would adapt. 4 Aisles? Wow. Was this around the "Attitude Era"? 2004-5, soon as you walked in to your right bam right there.

Distribution for anything Jakks in Australia was also tremendous, plenty of stores carried the CS line and also some grocery shops here stocked the RA line. I would also say wrestling was still popular around this time period but that's around the time I stopped watching WWE completely. I feel Jakks had the best distribution when it came to product, price and the amount of names it put out at retail.

I was allowed to go into the store room on truck day. Cracking those JAKKS boxes was a great feeling. On another note, I had to resort to the bay for Piper and Brett. Got them at an okay price, and I was tired of the fruitless searches.

If I spent on Jakks', what I spent on Mattel these days, I would have 20 times the amounts of Jakks' probably

Just quoting this to say those were the good old days. I remember a whole aisle at Toys R Us of classic superstars and more. Just an aisle? Try 4 aisles of wrestlers at KB toys. Honestly, maybe it was the one in my local area, but if you wanted wrestling figures KB toys was the place to go IMHO. But sadly, they are both gone. Adapt or parish, and neither would adapt. Not sure how I missed this, but man, KB Toys was my jam from 99-06 (when my store closed). By my store I mean literally, the store I worked at. Best job ever (if you don't mind making peanuts). Never had more fun on a job than at that place. And yes, totally took advantage of cracking open the cases first, getting the figures I wanted with my employee discount.

But sadly, they are both gone. Adapt or parish, and neither would adapt. Well mine would have a full aisle of WWE/WCW stuff.... THEN like three giant mesh bins of all clearance JAKKS WWE stuff, what was it? 3 for $10? I have so many JAKKS Classics that I paid just a few bucks for! Those were the days! Was that when KB Toys went out of business or did they just have regular clearance sales of old stock even when business was doing ok? I remember when Mattel got the license stores all around me started putting out these random old Jakks figures out to try and get rid of them all before the new Mattel WWE stuff started rolling in. Saw like a CS5 Nikola Volkoff and Iron Sheik sitting on the shelves of this Walmart in December of 2009, always found that funny

So...... You're now admitting that you're a liar..... I wonder if you lie about your Hogan collection too? There's one way you could prove it...... Agreed. Why in the world theman would you tell us this? No one is going to think it was cool. Tbh I’m assuming that post and the entire account in general is just rage bait at this point

DO Teddy and Cone share the same legs? everything I’ve seen Teddy has the old style and Cone has the newer crotch piece. I’d guess Teddy is shorter too, but I only have Cone.

BAF Vincent wave is a Best Of MNW wave with re-releases of prior figures from other lines that fit into this line. One figure included in this wave is the BoAE HHH.
