I got the bushwackers in a deal from affliction on here, an elite trader. I got them planning on making customs but after getting them in hand I have to say these are awesome figures. I guess no one bought them because they didn't know who they were and they didn't really do anything special that I can recall. But I was really surprised at how good these things look. Just wanted to be someone who put them over for once. xD

Glad you like them. I thought they were very underrated myself. I loved them growing up and Mattel did a great job with them in the legends line.

Man, I wish those legends 2 Packs where still at TRU, I started collecting last summer & completely missed all the legend figures at retail.

i've been looking to acquire a set of them myself. i am really kicking myself for passing on them. so. many. times...
seems like they're extra rare since so many of them were sacrificed in the name of customs. (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I hated the Bushwhackers, but had to get them because they looked perfect and brought back great memories of my late father when he used to march around the house like them trying to embarrass me in front of my friends.

They were nice figures, but nobody wanted to pay $30+ for them. I just wish I could find a set around here. They're the only Legends 2-packs that aren't shelfwarming after all this time.
I LOVE the half-eaten hats. Such a nice touch.

Yes he was a goofball. Now in high school I was 6'2" and he was 6' 3" and about 260 at the time and if I had friends over he'd make sure to start marching around the living room and grab me or a friend in a headlock and start pretending to lick our head like they used to do. Ah yes! Good times. lol ^Were they all Hitman fix-ups? lol No. lol 1 Hitman (RRH fixup) 1 Owen 2 Rick Steiner 1 Scott Steiner (unfinished) 2 Crow Sting (1 finished 1 WIP)

i wish i would have picked up some mattels in the beginning of the run. i was just not fond of them then, and was pretty upset all my WWE jakks were pretty much useless, lol. now i definetly regret some things. like E1 punk, all stars punk/austin, and all those damn defining moments and entrance greats that shelf warmed in my area. i could have had rick rude for $3 MOC from k-mart, and still passed! i came late to the game folks!

not a fan of the torso. But they understandably had to make the torso's useable for other figures.
But they should be shaped like cans of Fosters. Them dudes were built like little kegs. Alas Mattel pretty much makes every figure w/ a coke bottle shape (thin abdomens)

They did a great job on the figures but I found the wrestlers themselves to be too corny. They are wrestlecrap at its best. I loved them as kids but I really don't want their figs lol

I was more of a fan of them as the Sheep Hearders. I still need to find an extra Butch for customs.

They are good figures, but I used one for a sting custom and one for a kolov.

I only just recently got them for my collection, and they look great. The problem with the Legends line was almost exclusively down to the roster and attire choices, not the figures, which is a shame. Most all of the Legends have been awesome, and if the market were as it was 10 years ago, we'd have an amazing collection of figures to rival Jakks Classic Superstars roster. I love these figures personally. The unique parts look and work great. They're very poseable and the scans are very expressive. I actually wish more of the current guys would show the level of expression in their sculpts that the Legends line had. Everyone either smiles or stares like they're bored.
