"I can't believe that made that guy" figs you'd actually buy

[zen411]

I was talking to a friend of mine who had been a long time wrestling fan with me growing up. He does not follow the mattel line at all and was really surprised that they made a figure of Who. He asked if there was one for TL Hopper and it made me realize if I bought Who, why not TL Hopper.

So who are those more obscure names you would actually want a figure made for? Ones you would actually pay 20+ dollars for and not let rot on the pegs. Not ones many have been clamoring for like Adam Bomb or Man Mountain Rock or Giant Gonzalez.

Mine tend to be Bertha Faye, Frenchy Martin, Damien Demento, etc.

Mike McGuirk
The Coach
Sean Mooney
Rene Goulet
Jamison

[Sting]

the title of this really confused me 😂

[darkprophet]

Does wrestling gear “Dangerous” Danny Davis count? I’d be up for him in the Legends line, with entrance jacket.

[danfdan]

A fee from the Who era-

Farooq Asad, the Goon, the Zodiac.

Surprised CL Mustafa got an elite.

Oh I hate a lot of the "one-off" silly characters that the OP is alluding to.....

But Jamison would be a Day One pre-order for me! How do we make this happen?

Scotty Flamingo/Johnny Polo
Christmas Creature
Charlie Brown from Outta Town
The Midnight Rider
Dizzy Hogan solely because the name is hilarious
Miss Atlanta Lively

[Crossfit Jesus]

Not me but I can’t believe they made an elite of that guy. James Ellsworth

[Fighter Hayabusa]

I was just thinking the other day how Rene Young got made. Commenrators and announcers rarely get figs and females at the time as well. And I believe Rene was just doing NXT and kick off shows when her fig came out. Like did Dean Ambrose have that much pull or did Bill have an Asuka level crush on her?

[Fighter Hayabusa]

But obscure wrestlers I’d buy:

Rad Radford/Louie Spicolli
Iron Mike Sharpe
Steve Lombardi/Brooklyn Brawler/Knuckball Schwartz
Missing Link
Killer Khan
Barry Horowitz
Ralphus
Coach (Mr Perfect’s manager)
Oliver Humperdink
Xanta Klaus
Haiti Kid
Little Tokyo
Lord Littlebrook
Little Beaver

On the Steve Lombardi end, I want Kimchee too.

Oliver humperdink would be great with the new Coliseum Bam Bam.

These come to mind:

Big Bully Busick
Sean Mooney
General Adnan
Outlaw Ron Bass
Black Bart
Shane Douglas (early WWF run)
Dean Douglas
Waylon Mercy
Johnny Polo
Kimchee

Yes! I've been a huge fan and have wanted a figure of his since the 90s.

[theberb217]

I think a Mordecai (Kevin Thorne) figure would be sick. In the all white attire. That was a pretty cool gimmick back in the day.

SD Jones
Iron Mike Sharpe

Ultimate Edition Max Moon is one of my top wants.

[Nivro™]

Anyone, star or jobber, that was from the '86-'93 Era is an automatic purchase for me. The ones that are hard for me to buy now are Attitude Era-Ruthless Aggression Era...Nothing about that Era pops. Its just same ol guys in same black tights/trunks.

So for actual names Id consider from the Era I shoot for, Brooklyn Brawler, TL Hopper, Freddie Joe Floyd, Rebel Dick Slater, SD Jones, Corp Kirschner, Boris Zhukov, General Adnan, Skinner, Jameson, any version of Lanny Poffo, Barry O, Iron Mike Sharpe (although my custom is pretty...Sharp!)
