A question of y'alls favorite figure

[thep1]

While I see so much nit-picking on figures, and on some that I think are fantastic, I am curious if anyone wants to chime in on what y'all consider to be a perfect/pristine figure/figures.
To me, the HBK Takeover UE, the Batista Target UE, and the Hogan UE 13 are as good as it's gotten for Mattel.

***Please no bashing or questioning others' opinions on figure choices

[jumpinjefffarmer]

Hbk takeover is a good pick, but for me the ultimate edition kane will be taking first prize. They used the right bodyparts, and managed to finally make a good mask scan. Gonna take ultimate demolition to knock him outta 1st!

CC “Rowdy” Roddy Piper - to me this is easily the best figure Mattel ever made in the WWE line. And it’s one of my all-time favorite wrestling figure.



And while there are problems with this figure it’s still a figure of my favorite wrestler from my all-time favorite match. So the GAB ‘90 Sting is a favorite of mine. Because up until this release I would make a custom of it with every line that had a Surfer Sting in it. So to finally have an official one after 25 years of wishing was a dream come true.



Elite Series 78 “Superstar” Billy Graham - this figure is perfection.


Elite Series 30 LOD -


Sting DM Starrcade ‘97 -


Legends Series 1 Road Warriors -


Legends Series 4 “Mr Wonderful” -


Legends Series 6 Kerry Von Erich (WCCW) -


UE “Nature Boy” Ric Flair -


Hall of Champions (?) Eddie Guerrero -


I am going to stop there at a “Top 10”

Touche on that Piper Coliseum!

Jakks R3 Kane. OK the articulation is mediocre, but other than that it's the best masked Kane figure ever made in my opinion. The headscan in particular absolutely nails it, and being an actual SCAN (not just sculpted, as is unfortunately common for Kane figures even in the modern era) it is accurate to the shape of his real mask, not just vaguely similar like all the other efforts, and it really looks like Glenn Jacobs is under there. Plus it has a decent torso build, not too skinny looking - Kane was ridiculously huge built during that era. And has plenty of SCULPTED attire details, not just painted-on.

I hope one day Mattel can do another Hardcore era Kane, with accurate shape SCANNED mask, multiple hair options perhaps, a HUGE built torso and THICK arms, with plenty of SCULPTED attire detail (not just painted on). I'd also send it over the top by including an unmasked head matching that era (i.e. with a full head of long hair, a goatee, and eye makeup), and a separate mask accessory with straps, to recreate his occassional unmaskings (e.g. by Undertaker, by X-pac, etc) during that era. But for now at least, R3 Kane has yet to be topped IMO.

Puhhh I think there are so many great figures.
If we go back in time, the Rockers 2-Pack, the All-Stars 2-Packs and SES/E11/E16 Punk are probably some of my favourites.

The Elite 28/29 Wyatt Familiy as a set is also insane, too. I think they nailed it with many of the early lines, E7 Hart Dynasty are also one of my favs.

Batista is probably my favourite Basic figure, he was in the EC line early on.

I think Doink was also close to perfection, especially with changeable hair.

Early Legends line was stacked, too, this is one of greatest buys back then: (I think I bought him while I was in the US)

Last but not least, my E1 MVP that he signed around 10/11. The packaging was absolutely perfect for this figure. Definitely standout figure of E1:

There are just too many figures I love, I would never be able to decide on one.

[Sting]

My favourite of all time has to be the Ringside exclusive DX HBK.
I mainly open my figures, but that's one I'll never open.

The Flair DM figure packaged always looks really special to me as well, I love the headscan.

[darkprophet]

For me it’s the whole package, including packaging. So I’d go Coliseum Collection, with Piper being my favorite so far.

But my favorite loose figures, as beautiful updates to the LJN form factor, are the Demolition Big Rubber Guys. Amazing figs and amazing line, as an “LJN guy!”

[jt]

The Coliseum Collection has been killer so far, Rude, Piper, and Roberts especially have been perfect but all 6 figures are some of my absolute favorites.

WCW Cactus Jack from the 3 Faces of Foley pack is one of my favorite figures of the year so far.

Samu and Fatu are both perfect, you get a bunch of one off accessories and pretty accurate bodies and head scans.

Fan Takeover UE Shawn Michaels is amazing, it's definitely among my favorites figures.

Ultimate Flair is pretty spot on minus the belt being slightly inaccurate.

Recently got it in but I love Legends 1 Hawk. I assume Animal is just as good

[sandeep]

Ultimate Kane 🔥🔥

[thep1]

I am a MIBber/MOCcer through and through! And I cannot believe that I didn't shout out the CC Jake/Hogan/Piper! Duh! And I got into the collecting game hardcore in 2020, so I am behind a lot of y'all.
Pretty awesome submissions and pics so far, though!

[LA Times]

It varies from time to time but

1) Legends 6 Kerry Von Erich
2) Walmart Flashback 1? Ultimate Warrior
3) Elite 30 Legion of Doom

[Mongo Bears]

Favorite and best executed are two different things.

My favorite is Retrofest HTM

Best is either UE13 Hogan or UE Kane or L4 Orndorff maybe

[Old Zeke]

Mine is the 2002 Hogan from the new 3-pack. I've wanted this figure for years and it turned out great!

[MKSavage]

E78 Superstar Billy Graham - younger head version.

Favorite Mattel figure is a Jakks figure?

Anywho, mine is SDCC Undertaker. Would love to choose e26 Road Dogg or DM Sting, but a couple small things knock them out.

[Crossfit Jesus]

I have so many
I really like SS Jeff hardy even tho the tattoo is missing
