That Y2J pick is so underrated. I've kept it MOC and it still looks as great as when I got it.

[PJ]

1. GAB ‘90 Sting
2. Starrcade ‘97 Sting
3. Bret Hart - Canadian Stampede.
4. Triple H - MSG Return.
5. WrestleMania 3 Macho Man (even though those weren’t the trunks he wore at WM they were the color trunks I associate Macho Man wearing most.)
*6. Cactus Jack - RSC 3 Faces of Foley.

[Fighter Hayabusa]

That Mega Maniacs Warrior, especially paired with Macho, is a very underrated figure. It may be my favorite DM of all time.

[oldschoolfool]

Only picked up the Warrior DM..paid like 80 for it a few years back.

[Flair Forever]

1. Ric Flair Retirement Attire (Blue Wrestlemania 24 Robe)

2. Crow Sting - one of the best figs Mattel has done.

3. Macho Man Randy Savage - Wrestlemania 7 attire - possibly Mattel's finest figure to-date. Certainly the best Macho Man to-date.

4. Undertaker (Series 4) - this is my favorite Undertaker figure. Just perfection.

5. Ric Flair (Butterfly Robe) - This falls to number 5 because it's a "mash up" as Ric Flair didn't commonly (or maybe ever) wear the blue trunks with the black Butterfly robe. Still a great figure, though!

Dis-Honorable Mention: GAB '90 Sting. This was a swing and a miss - the face scan looks goofy, the plastic jacket is annoying, and they initially screwed up the boots (they had laces) and had to make a running change. Sting did NOT wear laced boots at any point in his career, that I can recall. I like this figure but they really missed the mark on the details here.



NOTE: I also really like the "new" series HBK (cowboy hat & red RR '97 attire) and Mankind, but I don't own them so I'm not ranking them. I'm strongly considering pulling the trigger on that HBK soon....

1. WM7 Macho

1. Mega Maniacs Warrior

I remember seeing an end cap at one of my Walmart’s completely full of that figure for weeks, must have been 30 or 40 of them for $10 each & they still weren’t selling … it warmed extremely hard in my area

Warmed hard (for years) in my area too. I kept waiting for them to reduce the price and they never did. Then one day they were just gone. I only just bough it a few years ago on the secondary market. It is a great fig!

Just think, some poor designer at WWE went to all the trouble to design these stunning, matching attires...... and they never had the match. Warrior left before Survivor Series & was replaced by Mr. Perfect.
