I couldn't find one, so care to link me? You seem to know a lot for your whoping 3 days on this board...

I mean post dont mean anything. So if you come off like a dick like that no one will help you. Literally if you just search anything hasbromaniac has posted you will find out each and every answer. If you even put "moon belly kamala wfigs board" into google you will find it. Not too hard to find the answers but dont come off like a dick.

I was about to apologize myself for coming off like a dick in my response. That wasn't my intention, but in the three days that I have been on the boards I've seen answers (and some really good educated guesses) to these questions come up multiple times, and I was just browsing. But just by casually observing with little or no effort I know more than I did before.

You didnt come off like a dick at all. You said it as nice as anyone else and you didnt say anything less than what I see people that have a thousand post on here say. It takes little to no effort to search it. Person was just trying to be a smart@$$ for no reason.

lol @ this fixedorbust poster also. You realised a couple of months ago when you signed up to this board, that it was a DISCUSSION FORUM right? If not, you always know where the door is. I have no idea who you are, nor does anybody else. You wont be missed.

[Hasbroandy]

This is not the right thread to fight...

[cdp]

100% agree Andy!

Like Andy said not the right place to fight over something so stupid. But at least I have the common sense to know how to use the search tool. Plus you might have 500 post or so but you are asking questions that have been answered numerous times. So in reality you are still the newbie to me. PEACE!

Awesome! Loved this post. Makes me miss my childhood. I need to finish my green card collection and the Mailaways.

[Tommycoholic]

I always wondered how many of each series were produced, i know the last series was quite rare but most of the others are still very easy to get. I haven't found any on german flea markets nowadays but ebay is still flooded. They must have been MASS produced, even more like any Mattel or Jakks-line, anyone got an info for me? Thanks!

[Glorydaysofwrestling]

Would anyone happen to know where I can find a pic of every hasbro MOC? My google results sucked lol. Also loved all the posts by hasbro maniac.

There's a thread on here, I think it's the Wrestling Rooms thread, there are pictures of a few different collections of MOCs by users here. If it's not that one it should still be easy to find.

I think we should update this post as it looks out of date with all the new Hasbro items poping up in the last few months...

we should have 1 thread with all the Hasbro information known with pictures of all the rare items known!

I have noticed there are only a few body types for Hasbro and they're just repainted. Does anyone know exactly how many body type/movesets there are?

[demolition1990]

Off the Top of my head I am sure there is 16 'body options' on figures used (that might even be less than this figure) but what I can gather there is about 16.

Cheers

By my count there are 15 different movesets.  It's not a definitive count, by any means.  Due to the similarity of some movesets, one could argue for as few as 13 or as many as 18+ different movesets.  As an example, some might consider Roddy Piper's uppercut to be distinct from the more standard uppercut they gave to guys like Smash and Ted DiBiase (s1).  

Here's a quick little rough guide.  I'm dividing move sets based on the series in which it was originally introduced.  If anybody sees any mistakes or wants to add anything, feel free to chime in!  All of the movesets were introduced by the third series; everything that came after that recycled an older moveset.  I'd also caution that there are more body types than there are movesets, so while the two are strongly linked together, they aren't the same thing.

Series 1

1. Body Bounce. With the figure facing a rival, you pull the figure's head back; his torso leans back and then springs forward, colliding chest first into his opponent and knocking it over.
- Akeem (s1), Andre the Giant (s1), Dusty Rhodes (s2)

2. Top Rope Attack. Pose the figure on one of the turnbuckle pads (or other hard surface) above and facing a rival. Pull down on the tab on his back; his torso compresses, then springs forward, propelling him haphazardly through the air at his opponent and, hopefully, knocking it over.
- Brutus Beefcake (s1), Ultimate Warrior (s1), Shawn Michaels (s2), Jimmy Snuka (s2), Koko B. Ware (s3), Road Warrior Hawk (s4), Ricky Steamboat (s4), Randy Savage (s5), Repo Man (s6), Kamala (s7), Headshrinker Fatu (s10), Headshrinker Samu (s10)

3. Uppercut. Pose the figure facing toward his opponent. Pull his right arm down; the spring action propels the arm back up, punching his opponent in the process and usually knocking it over cleanly. On most figures the arm is relatively straight, but on the Roddy Piper figure the arm is curved as you would typically see in an uppercut.
- Demolition Smash (s1), Ted DiBiase (s1), Roddy Piper (s2), Brutus Beefcake (s3), Shawn Michaels (s7, s10), Nailz (s7), Doink (s9), Marty Jannetty (s10)

4. "Hard Time Slam". Pose the figure facing toward his opponent. Pull either arm (preferably both) above his head; the spring action will pull both arms back down, clubbing the opponent and knocking it over most of the time. The arms used changed throughout the run (Big Bossman s1 has different arms than Savage s1 and Earthquake s3, for example) and some figures had hands facilitated to allow them to clobber opponents with their signature weapons.
- Big Bossman (s1; nightstick), Randy Savage (s1), Jim Duggan (s2; 2x4), Honky Tonk Man (s2; guitar), Earthquake (s3), Sgt. Slaughter (s3), Typhoon (s3), Nasty Boy Sags (s4), Rick Martel (s5), The Mountie (s5; cattle prod), The Berzerker (s6), Bam Bam Bigelow (s8), Yokozuna (s8, s11)

5. Gorilla Press slam. Pose the figure with his opponent already in his hands. Pull either arm (preferably both) up over his head; the spring action will pull both arms back down, causing the opponent to be violently slammed onto the playing surface.
- Demolition Ax (s1), Hulk Hogan (s1), Ultimate Warrior (s2), British Bulldog (s4), Road Warrior Animal (s4), Sid Justice (s5), The Warlord (s5), Lex Luger (s8), Ludvig Borga (s11)

6. Straight Punch. Pose the figure facing his adversary. Pull the action arm straight back; the spring mechanism propels it straight forward, punching your opponent in the face or upper body, usually knocking it down.
- Jake Roberts (s1), Hulk Hogan (s5), Virgil (s5), El Matador (s6), Papa Shango (s6), Ted DiBiase (s9), Billy Gunn (s11)

7. Headlock w/Punches. The non-action arm of the figure is designed to hold his opponent in a headlock. With the opponent in the headlock, pull the action arm back; the spring mechanism will propel it directly onto the head of the opponent. Can be done in quick succession as often seen in matches of the day.
- Rick Rude (s1), Ric Flair (s6), 1-2-3 Kid (s11)

Series 2

8. Stomp. My favorite action as a kid! Instead of one action, you get two! The intended action is thus; with the opponent on the ground, stand your figure over him. Lift up the right arm and you'll notice the right foot raises along with it; release and the spring mechanism forces the arm and foot back down, thereby stomping your opponent. Can be done in rapid succession. Because the arm also move, you can also stand your figure in front of a standing opponent, lift the arm, and clobber your opponent down. They should have used this one more IMO!
- Bushwhacker Butch (s2), Ted DiBiase (s2), Irwin R. Schyster (s5), Bushwhacker Luke (s10)

9. Buchwhacker Bounce. This one is basically worthless as an attack, but undoubtedly fun for all the little Bushwhacker fans that abounded in the early 90's. Lift one arm and other arm rotates in the opposite direction; release and both spring back in the directions from which they came, respectively.
- Bushwhacker Luke (s2), Bushwhacke Butch (s10)

10. Clothesline. Can be used as either a clothesline or a right hook depending on which way you choose to articulate the elbow (straight or hooked, respectively). Facing a standing opponent, take the action side and pull it back; the spring mechanism propels the figure back forward, causing it to lariat or punch the opponent, which should fall over. One of the most re-used movesets.
- Demolition Crush (s2), Randy Savage (s2, s3), Big Bossman (s3), Greg Valentine (s3), Nasty Boy Knobs (s4), Undertaker (s4, s6 MA, s8), Jim Neidhart (s5), Owen Hart (s7), Razor Ramon (s7, s10), Rick Steiner (s9), Bart Gunn (s11)

11. Bear Hug. Pull arms/fists apart and the spring mechanism pushes them back together. The intended move was to have the opponent in the bearhug, but as a kid I preferred to lean the opponent so that his head would get crushed in between the figures fists as the sprung back together. The only figure to get this was the Series 2 Hulk Hogan. In hindsight, I think this mechanism lended itself well to the later Crush figures. He used bear hugs and also used a ridiculous finish whereby he crushed his opponents skull between his hands.

12. "Rocker Dropper". Similar to the series 1 "Top Rope Attack". Place your figure on the turnbuckle pad (or similar hard object) and, while above and facing toward his opponent, pull the right arm down; this depresses the torso. When released, the figure haphazardly launches forward, hopefully hitting his opponent in the process. This mechanism didn't work terribly well (probably why it was never re-used), but you could also use it against an opponent face to face as a sort of headbutt attack. The only figure to get this mechanism was the Series 2 Marty Jannetty.

Series 3

13. Clobber w/suplex. The action is the same as the uppercut moveset, but I separated these because the non-action arm is hooked in such a fashion as to allow the heads of other figures to fit securely in the nook. This facilitates a vertical suplex and/or DDT attack on the opponent. Since these figures were advertised as having suplex based attacks, I prefer to keep this separate from the other uppercuts, but if others choose to lump them together, that's a fair and arguable point as well.
- Hulk Hogan (s3, s6 MA), Mr. Perfect (s3, s8), Bret Hart (s4, s6 MA, s8), Crush (s7, s11), Scott Steiner (s9), Adam Bomb (s11)

14. "Texas Twister". This action is a variation on the clothesline attack. Instead of one arm sticking straight out and with the articulation point at the elbow, however, both arms are. Additionally, while the standard closethline moveset only allowed the attacking figure to rotate back about 90 degrees, figures with the "Texas Twister" attack can rotate well over 360 degrees. When the mechanism is released, the figure rotates back however many degrees it had originally rotated. Not all that neat, but I'll give it a little credit because instead of just landing one punch or lariat on one opponent, this figure, once rotated, can take out several opponents at once as long as they are standing within range.
- Texas Tornado (s3), Tatanka (s6, s9)

15. Windmill. Completely new action, but based slightly on the stomp action. Facing a standing opponent, push down on your figures head. Like in the stomp action, the action foot and arm of the figure are connected.  In this case, however, both arms and feet are in on the action; when the feet go up (or the body goes down), the arms spring up; when feet go down (or body comes back up), the arms spring back down. This creates a sort of a windmilling motion that should knock over any opponents who happen to be nearby.
- Ultimate Warrior (s3), Skinner (s5), Giant Gonzalez (s10)

EDIT: #13 is incorrect; it isn't an uppercut, but rather a clubbing motion.  With the figure facing the opponent, lift the action arm UP (rather than down); the spring mechanism forces the arm back down, clubbing the opponent in the face or upper body and thereby knocking it down.  Just ran into one of my Mr. Perfect figs and that straightened me out!  Sorry for the confusion!

Can someone link me to hasbromaniacs history of series 1-10? I'm only seeing 11 and on.
