I only buy figures of wrestlers I really like, but Facepaint Weirdo Jeff Hardy is a gimmick I can do without. Love Jeff. Love his early work. I have a few figures of him. But the weirder he got the less interested I am.

There's very few that I actually would get now. I usually get Hogans, but the Fan Takeover was an example where I don't want any of them. I also am not interested in a Havoc 95' Hogan without the mustache and with the weird Taskmaster paint on his forehead.

Bray Wyatt/The Fiend is overrated. I just really don't care for the gimmick.

I grew up in the 80s, I loved the Rock n Wrestling era as a kid, so I basically only collect that era. As a teen I detested the attitude era and haven't watched a single match since, so basically any figure of a wrestler past the mid 90s has no place in my collection.

I have the Classic Superstars Eugene and Shockmaster figures on my shelf, and lowkey have plans to someday own the entire RA series of the Spirit Squad, so I think it's safe to say that damn near anything gimmick wise would work. Actually, beyond that, the more absurd the gimmick, the more likely I'd be to buy it. I usually don't have interest in anyone pre-AE, but if they made a Repo Man figure? I can absolutely see me wanting one. Even absolutely insane things like Beaver Cleavage and the Oddities. (Especially the Oddities). Give me the most insane gimmicks you have to offer, I'm there.
Now, instances where the PEOPLE are d-bags, like Lars and such (good riddance, btw), then no. No figure of them will ever have a spot on my shelf.

I always despised Biker/ABA Taker. Speaking of, since Undertaker has been opening up lately in interviews, I don’t understand all this talk of how he “kept in character for 30 years”. He didn’t. The ABA gimmick was essentially a full break of character for four years... four nauseating years. Aside from his theme song saying dead man walking, there was nothing “Undertaker” about his character at all. I love you. I'm in total agreement. Anything after Ministry Taker is not The Undertaker I love. I remember how hyped I was when he was coming back and we got a guy in black pants and a tank top. |

It's hard to pick ones I wouldn't want. Between the guys that were great but had bland gimmicks and the really terrible guys that had gimmicks that would make great figures, hard to say what figures I'd pass on. I'd probably skip most of the "New" versions of anything (New Rockers, New Midnight Express, New Foundation) but I would get New Blackjacks or LOD 2000. Techno Team 2000 I would pass on. Jobbers like Barry Horowitz and Iron Mike Sharpe wouldn't make very exciting figures, but they would have some novelty in actually having figures of them made.

I only buy figures of wrestlers I really like, but Facepaint Weirdo Jeff Hardy is a gimmick I can do without. Love Jeff. Love his early work. I have a few figures of him. But the weirder he got the less interested I am. I'm surpised you dont like Jeff with the face paint. Hes the same Jeff (wrestling style and attire), he only added face paint. |

But the weirder he got the less interested I am. I'm surpised you dont like Jeff with the face paint. Hes the same Jeff (wrestling style and attire), he only added face paint. I still like him as a performer, but I have zero interest in figures from that era/with that look. Partly because I keep a lean collection. I was stretching calling it a gimmick, sure, as it's not a fundamental change from Hot Topic Jeff or Team Xtreme Jeff. Most people are just naming gimmicky wrestlers they don't like, and while I could say Bastion Booger or Headbanger Mosh, it's not like I'd buy figures of either of those performers in other gimmicks either. Jeff's the only one I can think of that I buy figures of, but avoid certain looks/eras. Dancin' Lance Storm? I thought it sucked, but I'd buy one. Big Money Matt Hardy... probably would skip that, not that I recall it in WWE. Does Gregory Helms count? The absence of a gimmick kills my interest there. |

I will buy any new mid carder to the line at this point. I don't care who it is.
