Steering this thread back on track a little… My Grapplers and Gimmicks collection is growing faster than anyone else’s but all companies are causing my collection to expand rapidly. Right now I am cleaning up my office/toy room and trying to decide how to display my collection. Out of curiosity, do you guys mix everything together or does each company get its own dedicated space? I keep my hasbros on one shelf then everything else mixed until there's too many then I'll split them up by company. Got a special spot for my Rush figures...it's called the recycling bin.....lol |

I do really like the Bulldog in the 2 pack but nearly £60 is a bit steep considering I really don't need the Diana. No offense to her! I dunno, maybe one day I'll bite on that. Trying to decide if I need the gold tassels version, I'm assuming it's the Hart Foundation jacket again. I've not gotten the 97 version and I'm unsure if I will. |

Out of curiosity, do you guys mix everything together or does each company get its own dedicated space? Unfortunately I just don't have the space to display everything I have, wrestling or otherwise, so some stuff is "put away" for now, but I regularly get them out, especially when my nephew is over as he likes looking at all the crap I hoard, from Super7 stuff to Kenner's Marvel legends, to the wrestling stuff, etc. But the wrestling stuff I've got displayed is a mix of Hasbro, Galoob, Charapro and Epic/Chella. I just rotate different guys from time to time. |

My "playroom" has gone through so many changes since I started building it 5 years ago that my collection having "dedicated spaces" is a stretch. All of Jakks' TNA line doesn't fit on one shelf for me, nor does my ToyBiz WCW, so my shelves are kind of a mess, with one shelf having half of my WCW ToyBiz on it, and the other half of the shelf having a Hasbro ring full of figures. All of my Mattels are in one shelving unit, but I am 100% out of room at this point. |

Just opened my 92 Bulldog and wife. Good figures other than Davey Boys arms are too short! The anti Zombie Sailor. I think Mike Awesome may have stolen the rest of his arm. His elbows are at his shoulder when he puts his arms up.

He's supposed to be a match in terms of sculpt and stance to the Hasbro Beefcake v2 I'm assuming, Brother Bruti arms weren't that short! |

Great detail on it all over. |

Companies doing banger in stock drops and zombies still like, let me sit on a pile of your money til the middle of next year Bought a bastion booger of his recently to build up what would have been the orange series, I’ll be honest I wasn’t impressed at all, the head is way too small and the figure overall could have been a lot better and more in scale with hasbros. Won’t be buying any more of his |

My 95 and 96 Daveyboys were waiting for me when I got home from work this evening. Well packaged and the cards are pristine...
My plan was to open them but now I'm having doubts, lol.

No, just a video teaser with Jake’s music and “trust me” text and stuff like that. I hope the "trust me" text is a hint that he's going for heel Jake over babyface Jake. Heel Jake was sorely missing from the original Hasbro line. If he could get him in his blue or black flame tights with a king cobra accessory, that would be amazing. I so hope we get the blue or black flames heel version right away. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait a bit and we get a '96 revelations or WM8 version first. I had hopes he would nail a propper '90-'91 Macho King but still waiting. |

Stumbled across this photo from a FB group and it gave me mixed emotions. I kind of want something larger than Diana but slightly smaller than Wendi  |

I may end up selling Dianna and Sherri if they are to small. I just don't understand why these companies can't get women right. Dianna is not a short woman either. If you watch Summerslam she was nearly as tall as Bret and Davey. I don't even display Luna with the other figures because it's so small, it's terrible, Dianna doesn't look much bigger. I know Mitch has in the past paid close attention to the details like the feet size, what happened here? |

Right now I am cleaning up my office/toy room and trying to decide how to display my collection. Out of curiosity, do you guys mix everything together or does each company get its own dedicated space? Personally I display all mixed together. My goal is to display as if Hasbro kept making figures and in chronological order. This is pretty outdated by now, but show how my last few shelves which were heavy on modern retros. And same for me, my collection from Mitch is multiple times larger than any other company besides Mattel or of course Hasbro at this point. He just keeps pumping them out way quicker than other companies and he's mostly doing the guys I want. Would just like some WCW though, but otherwise spot on.  upload image |

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but the release of the Diana Hart figure and the desire we all have for an Owen figure got my wheels spinning.
Since Mitch is in with the Hart family to some degree, how would we feel about a Bruce and Keith Hart 2-pack with their Survivor Series 1993 attire?
It would be multi-faceted because sicko completists like me would actually want those figures, plus Keith could be used as an Owen custom.
His Survivor Series 1993 singlet is basically just the same as Owen’s. Boots are different, but maybe Mitch could just make them black. And then all you have to do is swap on an Owen Hasbro head.
It feels like we’ll never truly get an Owen retro from that era, but that could be the closest thing to it IMO.

This is going to get interesting.
I always thought Mattel never cared about Mitch and other companies because of different figures. But now Mitch and Mattel are doing a Sherri...
I think Mattel's Sherri is a big miss -- but the proportions of this one by Mitch don't seem great
