This was the first fig since starting collecting as an adult that genuinely gave me the same excitement going to the store to get it as I used to get when I was a kid going to TRU with my parents. This. I felt like I walked into toys r us for the very first time again when I saw Sting on that target shelf.

Finding E64 Pete Dunne in the wild. That was the first store exclusive I looked for on a near daily basis like a psycho. Finding it was a nice thrill.

E35 Earthquake E46 Harlem heat E47 goldust For some reason,..these come to mind Surprised it wasn't this one: Would have been if it came around that time. I’ve been less excited for figures this past year even though some great ones have come. Part of my thing with graham is how it was so long overdue and I was worried they would lose the rights

I get pretty excited for most, but I remember being especially excited as a kid buying my Hasbro Mr Perfect, British Bulldog and Yokozuna figures. Back in those days there wasn’t many reveals and those ones just appeared in the shops one day and I happened to have to money to buy them instantly.
There’s too many to mention for the Mattel figures.

Kamala and Giant Machine. I remember it being a Friday evening and an hour or so earlier didn't even know a Giant Machine existed and only discovered it by accident, so off to eBay I went and managed to score both guys.

E26 Road Dogg WM XXX Bryan DM Crow Sting Seth Cashes In Network Spotlight Bayley Ringside Wolfpac figures DM Savage and Warrior
And I just preordered Bayleys new elite....I get excited a lot. These are looks I highly desired in figure form and some of the packaging just adds to the hype. I remember buying my first elites, the WM XXX Bret and Shawn and being excited about how big the box was. Felt like a special thing. Still does, but like anything it fades a bit. I’ve been leaving more and more figures in box until I know exactly where to put them because I know I can always open them eventually and get a bit of that excitement that gets lost when you just buy and immediately rip open. Get to spread the love

For me it was probably finding the HoC DIY figures. Ciampa and Gargano are probably two favorite current wrestlers. But most figures in my collection were ones I was pretty excited to get.
Lately it doesn't feel like that same magic is there. I've had the chase Hammer for about 3 weeks now and haven't even bothered to open him up yet.

Undisputed Era 3-Pack (1st ever Ringside order) E64 Pete Dunne (Just a great figure) All 4 Sanity members (Took forever to track all these down) E74 Finn Balor (Just a great figure) NS Bayley (This was a grail for me, missed it's original run and found it at a flea market one day)

DM Sting. Sting was my childhood hero growing up and imo he’s hasn’t had many figures released throughout his career. I felt like there wasn’t a definitive one released in a major line. My soul dropped when I saw the DM proto and I felt like a kid again playing WCW/NWO Revenge again.

The fact they never had him in the regular elite line and only had 1 basic in the regular line to my knowledge is shocking to me

Most excited of like all time? For me was when Cena switched to green shorts in late 2006, then his DA6 figure came out & I was pumped....actually jakks released some samples of in actual camo that showed up on eBay early (the original figure had solid green) and I went nuts on eBay & bought both for like Over 200$ each....

Easily both of the NXT4 Aleister Black and E64 Target Exclusive Pete Dunne. Both are some of my top favorite wrestlers of all time and I needed to have them.
With Dunne, I remember driving around every single day and could not find them. I was ready to give up on finding them and then I randomly walked into Target one day and found Hawkins and Rollins on the pegs. Asked an employee that was close by to see if there were anymore in the back. Employee asked who I was looking for and I said Pete Dunne. The employee came back and I was hyped. Picked up Hawkins and Dunne and left happily.
With Aleister, basically same story except this series never showed up in the cities. This set was weird. Checked Popfindr everyday and they only popped up in 1-2 stores that was 30-40 mins away from me. Found plenty of shower time Rusev’s and Lekea’s, then one day someone on the forums said that they had a full set in stock so I went and grabbed a full set.

I remember when I finally found the Elite 12 Kane at Target. They were nice enough to pull it from the back and I was STOKED. Felt the same when I found the Walmart exclusive set with Austin, Race, Steamboat and Jake Roberts. And again when I found the Heartbreak Hotel set.
God, I'm so ashamed of what a child I am lol.
