To this day, they are still highly sought by collectors new and old, likely due to the era represented in figure form. Who can forget that Series 1 Macho Man Randy Savage Hasbro figure?? With just over 100 figures produced, with this episode of figure history we give you a complete look at Hasbro's WWF line covering all the names from Andre the Giant to 123 Kid!

I played with these wrestling figures everyday, and long after the series ended, and I had a great fricking time...💯✔ Bret Hart was my favorite wrestler...👍🏼
Fancy seeing you here bro! 😉👌🏼
Back in 3rd grade the school would let us bring 1 toy we got for christmas into class to play with during recess.
I'll never forget my Jake Roberts fighting with a classmates Randy Savage.
Memories.
Same here, 👍
rubber ones were the best
These Hasbro figures simply were(and still are) irresistibly awesome.
My childhood. This is all I wanted every Christmas
And birthday, TBH. Literally all I ever asked for 😆
Or the latest SNES game
I know today’s figures are MUCH more detailed, but to me these captured the characters so well. They were cartoony but got the character expressions so good.
Usually the devil's in the details but this is the exception
They don't make them like that anymore it was a great time
Because these are toys to be played with as the figures today are for adult collectors that’s why they will never be as popular as these and other toys for our childhood

@@qudsianadeem4934 True, I loved the spring loaded Warrior LOL. Today's figures stay in the box.
These are the best style of wrestling figures ever made...i need all of these
Kaz Senova no way bone crushing figure line was the best
My favorite two so iconic
@@dustyvaughn528 We have our Own Opinions Guys ,Stay Cool😎
@n/a Exactly ,that's all I am saying. Much Respect that's all
I like how back then they didn't oversaturate the market with 100s of figures of the same character.
You act like it’s a bad thing but what if there was only one REY MYSTERIO figure and it was in an attire of his that you didn’t like or you wanted to recreate an iconic scene but the outfit was wrong
I’ve had dreams of going to garage sales and finding these, only to wake up and be super pissed off.
We never had this as they were too expensive for us back then. So what we would do is use some cheap He-Man & the Masters of the Universe action figures to play wrestling. We even made the ring ourselves.
There is a line of toys with the current roster of wrestlers as He-Man characters with its own ring.
@@calamaty9963 Wow... didn't know that
He-man forever 🥰🥰🥰
Very creative! If you can't afford, make do with what you've got and your imagination is endless! 👍 We had these figures in the U.K. too in the 90's and they cost about £6.99 ($8) each new but we managed to find them second hand with a second hand ring so we got lucky. I probably had about 8 in total but now I see the value of them has gone up.
I can’t begin to tell you how many hours I spent playing with these exact figures. This was/is the best toy version of my favorite wrestlers
Papa Shango, El Matador, Bezerker, Repo Man, AND Ric Flair were actually all out of the WWF by the time their figures came out. I don't remember finding any of those until fall or near christmas time of '93.
In the height of the line it was always easy to get Hulk Hogans, Macho Mans, and Ultimate Warriors, but in 93 it was hard to find any Bret Harts or Undertakers, even though they had figures.
I didn't know they made these in the form of current wrestlers like "The New Day", and attitude era wrestlers like Kane. I remember the big rubber LJN figures as a kid, but the Hasbro figures are the one's I remember the most. I had the ring as well. I didn't have all the figures I wanted, but I remember putting He-Man, Ninja Turtles, and Ghost Busters in the ring against wrestlers.
Same here. I literally was making my own ppvs with whatever action figures I had at the time with my blue ring lol. Man I miss those days
Awesome, I still have a whole lot of my big LJN wrestlers. Fun days.
Lol yes. I also had a Batman figure from the 1989 Batman film to add to the mix 🤣
These were really big back when i was in elementary school. That's when i started watching wrestling. My favourite was the Ultimate Warrior (with white trunks). Back in the day the toys were better and so was the wrestling. I miss that era.
@Shaun Isaacs I beg to differ.
@Shaun Isaacs
They were better considering the technology they had back then...
They were ahead of their time. I am not just talking about wrestling figures.
I am an 80s and 90s kid and used to own a lot of toys. I have seen the toys they stock today and they don't even come close.
These were my favorite toy as a kid I had a lot of them and would sit down put 30 figures behind me and have a royal rumble only ones I didn't have were yokozuna doink nailz Bart and Billy Gunn wow so many memories so much fun
Damn I did the same thing even had my moms number 1-30 on lil pieces of paper and I drew them out of a old butter container lol.. Memories
I have all these. And I may be 37 but I still have a figure fed and I use these against the brand new ones from Mattel. It's like two different companies but they compete against each other. You may get old but that doesn't mean you have to stop having fun.
Man, I played with figs well into adulthood (fig fed was GCWA (mostly X-Men, Hasbro, and Galoob.. not a purist. Lol), then I tried getting down on the floor since this whole quarantine started and had the worst realization... I finally flipping got old. My inner Peter Pan died. Keep holding it down for the rest of us once kids-at-heart. 😣 💪
@@dare2win215 Never Give Up, NEVER SURRENDER!! As it was said in Galaxy Quest.
Your INNER CHILD never leaves you. Sometimes it may get lost, or forgotten, or even really sore, but it's there. I was given a terminal illness diagnosis, and I just found out that my right knee and hip are completely shot and require reconstructive surgery. I can barely walk 10 feet now. But I still LOVE my HOT WHEELS. While this illness has stopped me from shopping for new cars, I still have my collection. As well as two 6-lane raceways, a 4-lane race way, and a beat up old Sizzlers track. I will try and race until I die. While I may not see 2021 or 2022, I'll go out swinging AND PLAYING!!
I say that time due to this virus and the fact I am one of the few that IF I get it I have a poor chance at surviving. But still, HAVE FUN, PLAY AND REMEMBER YOU CONTROL HOW YOU FEEL. NOBODY ELSE.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE, BE SAFE, AND HAVE FUN!!!!!
Life is too hard to NOT have some toys.
@@EdsterIII WOW! I don't want to cheapen this with meaningless chatter. Thank you. And, sincerest 🙏 for you, your situation, & our world. 🤗
Same here chrisS82 I have them also!
Always a dream to have a royal rumble with every hasbro figure, didn't complete the set till I was 33, put all the entrance music on my phone, wait till the misses has gone to sleep... Show time!
I had almost all of these at one time. It makes me appreciate and think of my mom and grandma so much. I remember being 8yo and calling toys r us to ask if they had the Steiner brothers. My mom drove me and her through a hellacious thunder storm to get the action figures.
Memories like this are what make a toy line!
@@FigureCollections hey can you get a singed WWE figures without the box
I used to collect these as a child. Going to Toys R Us all excited and running to the back to see what figures they had. Great memories. Thanks for the video.
How much were the blue ring back than
@@rugbyleaguevideos2817 Not sure. I was a child when I got mine. Christmas present.
@@TheRaveMusicArchive ohhhh did you have the ring?
@@rugbyleaguevideos2817 I did, yes. Came with the US flag, plus table and bell.
@@TheRaveMusicArchive is it hard to put together because I want one for my birthday
Really enjoyed watching this video! I grew up playing with the LJN WWF figures so, by the time the Hasbro WWF figures were released, I wasn't playing with toys anymore so I never owned any of them... Until now! I found the 1st series of Hasbros and the standard ring on eBay, for a decent price, 'round 2 years ago and have purchased most of the series since then. I absolutely love these figures and look forward to completing the entire collection.
Used to fanatically try to chase these down. Even in a major metro area and checking Toys R Us and some other places on an almost weekly basis, some of these guys were impossible to find. Tornado, Purple Warrior, Owen, Yoko, Koko, Crush, Borga, Adam Bomb, LOD, Nastys, 123, Smoking Guns, and Nailz,. I had to order the ones I really wanted from those through Figures Inc in '95. TRU would get these in waves and after a few weeks, you'd never see the figures again. That was especially true around the end of '92 when they had Bret, Bulldog, Undertaker, and whatever from that wave. Never saw em again after the initial release. Someone I knew somehow got the purple Warrior and Tornado. The only time the figures were plentiful was when series 1 and 2 were new. Even Dusty and Andre were easy to find. Everyone wanted the LOD figures but none of us could find em. Really great line of figures but a real pain to collect. Thanks for the video!
Damn. I had the LOD figures. I collected but was only like 4-5 years old. We lived in Rhode Island at the time and exactly as you said, figures were impossible to find later on.
Damn R.I.P to the 18 wrestlers that passed away
Love the video. I had almost the entire line...and I too sold them all. At the time I was moving into my first place and starting a new life. Now I have my regrets but they ended up with a collector who paid me top dollar. I have one single figure left, first series Ultimate Warrior.
WWF Hasbro for life!
Love ur channel, dude.
Keep it up.
Hitman episode #1 is literally #1
Excellence of Execution
Titan Sports made the best WWF figures go look them up, what a Christmas that was for all the boys across the World that year. Kids today will never understand what toys and bikes meant to us, so glad i experienced that.
I collected pretty much all of the figures up to series 8, still have them packed away safely in storage. At times I used to set up a video camera angled towards the ring to film the matches, I still have the footage! I even made an entrance curtain for the figures to come out of and 'walk' (aided by my hand) to the ring. I slightly hesitantly told a couple of mates at the time who weren't that into wrestling and once they saw the setup they couldn't wait to join in, LOL! It got them into following the WWF. My dad made me a slightly larger and stronger wrestling ring to the plastic one released, which was great for Battle Royal events! Those years were a great time for WWF fans, glad many of you also have fond memories!
I loved these when i was a kid. I only remember then for the first few years. I didn't realize they stuck around till 95. I never saw these toys anymore after 93.
Although I never owned hasbros I'm still nostalgic from seeing them on WWF Video Tapes back in the day
i had the majority of these figures. Best toys i ever had.
I had one of the King Of The Ring yellow rings, though I think it actually came out in 1993 and not '94. My mother ordered away for it, as I wanted a ring to go with my Hasbro Bret Hart and Roddy Piper figures, and I remember putting it together the day it arrived in the mail.
Those wrestling action figures will always be my favorite line. With the blue iconic wrestling ring. Classic!
This is a great video! I grew up with these figures. I inherited a lot of my collection from my older cousin. I'm looking to recollect my collection.
This was a great trip down memory lane.
Awesome. If you're a wrestling fan, you've gotta have the hasbro figures! 😁
I was convinced I owned a few of these after seeing this video, so I took a look up my loft and found a '91 series 2 Hulk Hogan, and '92 series 4 Undertaker! Good times 🙂
Haha sweet finds!
I had the entire 1st Series and didn't even know it, until 35 years later good video..
Many happy hours playing with these as a kid thank you for posting from Glasgow Scotland 🏴
Whenever I see these figures I get goosebumps I don’t know why
Likewise haha
Nostalgia!! 😁😁
I wish I was a kid again right now. Never even knew there was an Adam Bomb figure and the heel Crush too.
As a kid growing up in the Philippines and only seeing tape delays of months-old WWF footage before cable came around in '92, the only toys that were sold here were Series 2-7. I never saw a Series 1 toy until I went to Clark (the old US Air Force base) where servicemen were selling their kids' toys hoping to make a bit of money before moving back Stateside. Those toys were my childhood. I never saw Series 8-11 toys in all the toy stores in Metro Manila, only in the WWF magazines.
God bless ‘ya dude - like so many I collected a huge bag full stupidly sold them but slowly collecting some back again your video absolutely cheers me up and makes me feel exactly like I did when I used to collect top stuff mate top stuff!! ❤️
Brilliant!! Nothing gets me more nostalgic than this figure line! Awesome review, thanks!
Great collection, brings back lots of memories of playing with them with my brother
Takes me back to my own action figure universe. Writing cards and putting together dream matches. I had most of the Hasbro figures up until that final series. Broke so many of them and the wrestling rings. WCW figures at the time had the edge because you couldn't break them. It was tough to get good matches out of some because of the design. A guy I knew had them but he would not take them out of the packaging. I clearly wasn't thinking business back then. Good times.
This really brings back memories! I had the blue riing and the series 1 Hulk Hogan, macho man, Ultimate Warrior and the series 1 demolition figures. I also had The Rockers but I don't think I got any more after that.
I still remember how pleased I was when shops got series 4 in stock. I was so excited to get Bret Hart and The Undertaker
I was excited to get Macho Man and Bulldog as you always want a piece of your favourites. Awesome.
Your content brings back my childhood.
Ax & Smash, and the Bushwhackers alone make the entire line worthwhile.
When i came back from school in 1990, i watched the Super Mario Super show everyday at TV.... and during the commercial breaks, i saw all of these commercials all the time. It's great to see it 30 years later. I still buy original WWF merchandise today in 2022.
I remember my Grandad buying me a Big Bossman figure a few days before Christmas in a department store, great times
Every Hacksaw figure I’ve ever seen had a warped 2x4 😂 wish I kept all mine but I do still have all my Jakks figures including the Blue Blazer!
This is the best Hasbro video I've ever seen and came across on you tube so good to watch interesting to telling us all about what series the figures was in and the years to I've got them all well except luvig borger and 123 kid like thanks for the upload keep the good work up cheers m8
Great video! I bought (or rather my dad) some of these when I was a kid. I still have them in mint condition 😊
What's this RUclips actually recommend me a pretty niche RUclips channel I really like 😮
Awesome channel and thanks for the videos definitely subscribing 👍
Your words mean a lot! Thank you!!!
I remember getting all of the first series. My Mom bought me all of them and surprised me with some. I got almost the whole entire series through the years but then they stopped selling the newer ones in Canada so I didn't ever complete the collection.
I'm 41 yrs old and still have all my hasbro figures. Lol the first one I ever bought was Jake the Snake Roberts w/ his snake. I would create my own wrestlemanias and even created my own magazines for my figures. Fun times.
Yes love to have all these figures in my collection with my new retros WWE WWF toys
Flair, Luger, Sid, Steiners all had Hasbro and WCW Galoob.
I loved these figures so much as a kid, wish i still had all mine
How much were the blue ring back than
The best line of wrestling figures ever, bar none.
Only got about 10 of these half from Ebay. So small compared to the 6 inch mattels. NOW I KNOW WHAT SERIES THERE FROM.
I started collecting these WWF Hasbro figures from April 2017. I now have 11 as of this post. All my Hasbro figures are mint on card. I still have two which I recently purchased on eBay which I'm still waiting for.
Beautifully done, this needs more views.
Pretty certain Sid was the first to have a Hasbro and a Galoob :P
Touche'...
Went to a antique store and found three of the old retro figures and wanted to buy them so bad.
Thank you for making this video it brought me back to my my love of pro wrestling figures
did graveyard security and one of the fellow guards was also a true wrestling fan who in the daytime worked at a thrift store. you arent supposed to take any items but he grabbed a ric flair and roddy piper hasbro figure that somebody had dropped off, and he gave them to me. he was a great dude to work with even without the cool action figures, but they are awesome!!
The Jakks Pacific 1995-1999 bone crunching action series was my favorite still have boxes of them
BCA was great. Had my most fun fig fed times with them. If you haven't seen it already, Figure Collections has a history of BCA through 97 video up - ruclips.net/video/q4quPLJn6W4/видео.html
@@joere-uploader5766 You are correct. Series 1 BCA come out in summer of 96 and was released in a limited quantity that quickly sold out. Series 2, a ring, and the Survivor Series box set were both fall 96. Following Toy Fair 97 is when they really started cranking out sets.
I remember in 95 or 96 seeing them at Toys R Us
Hasbro were better.
Memories unlocked
Bring back some great memories,im starting to collect again but have a very long way to go😣
The Nasty boys may have been the most realistic looking. Plus great play pose for figures.
I'm about 70% done with my loose Hasbro collection, I'll be back here when I hit 100%!
Good luck!
What figures you looking for? Yellow ring too?
Just opened up old box thats been stored and loomed thru it. Pulled out the mint ones like the 123 Kid, Gunns, Bad Crush Yoko and rest from the last series. Have em all except the 1st series
Hasbro were pretty on the ball when Rhythm and Blues split. They just released Honky Tonk Man as a single, and held Valentine over to the next series, with the same action feature as intended, but a retooled figure with his more recognizable look.
These are just iconic.
My parents got me the blue ring and most of the series 1 figures for Christmas in 1990. That was my favorite toy for quite a while and was collecting some of the series 2 and 3 figures after that.
2:14 Wow, I've never seen a direct comparison before but the series 1 Macho Man looks way more realistic and detailed than the series 2 version. And who can say no to the iconic "HULK RULES" shirt on the series 1 Hogan figure?
Awesome video. I really wish I still had mine from back in the day. :/
Great video. I used to go to "Children's Palace' with my mom on weekends and so I would be good she would get me one of these.
Did you highlight Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich? I had that one and I didn't see you mention it...
3:22 for Texas Tornado
Cool channel man! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.! 👍
I'm in the time machine right now awe man this vid is triggering good memories
Thanks a lot. Awesome Video.
I used to have lots of these when I was a kid. In my early 30s I spent thousands of €s on MISB M.A.S.K. Figures and Vehicles - finally selling them all on eBay as I figured: childhood is over and no material objects will bring that time back.
Still I love seeing awesome collections and Collector Videos - so keep up the great work.
Thank you!!
This was my childhood I'm 41 now we had to put in work to get these figures. There was no online no Amazon here in Buffalo New York we didn't have many department stores either.
We had Kmart Hills Ames and that was about it when sometimes Toys R Us KB Toy Store would have some as well. But you would just get to the store in the figures that they had were the ones you already had my poor mother driving me all over Buffalo New York looking for ones I didn't have.
I think it's sucked figures that had the mechanism behind their necks that you would push down also their feet were webbed together as Jimmy Superfly Snuka. Those are my least favorite ones also I think it was bullshit we had to wait till 1992 for mr. Perfect he should have been one of the first releases
Nice collection ! Cheers !
Very nice, informative video. Thank you !!!
Ljn figures were solid and the best
I had only had 4 of the big rubber WWF figures, my mom said they cost to much. I did have a boat load of the AWA and NWA figures, those came 2 in a pack and I was able to get the Road Warriors. Great video, nice trip down memory lane.
Back in the day I had most of them. It's quite weird they used the same body shape for Rick Rude, 123 Kid und Ric Flair. Those were impossible to play with.
I agree but others were a bit harder to play with considering you had wrestlers with hats molded to their heads or in odd poses. I mean LOD wearing their shoulder pads looked cool but of course in a match they wouldn't wear them.
@@Peppers19781978 you could use the spikes as foreign objects
This channel deserves way more views
I love the WWF Hasbro series. I just recently started with doing videos of my collection too. Thanks for sharing this!!!
I had most of these and the blue ring too. They'd be worth a fortune now ☹
These were my favorite toys growing up
Had like 15 figures in 93 before i went the first time to toys are us in germany. They even had the blue ring which i didn’t know existed. Best day of my life
I have every one of these to this day. Macho king has a septer and a crown
Really excellent video!
Always wondered why the Purple trunk Ultimate Warrior was unusually thick, didn’t consider he was stuffed with mechanics!
I had a lot of these when 8 was a kid
Great Video.
I Love the WWF Hasbro Figures, I got 53 of them.
I got SKINNER recently from the Hasbro Line. Need to do a review on this Figure soon.
I also like the WWE Wrestling Figures from Mattel, you like them?
It was a great time, the Hasbros. ;-)
Greetings from London
;-)
Thumbs WAY up for autographed Jake! (Trust me)
I wish I had them wrestling figures back in the '80s and 90s
My late papa gave me his hulk hogan and that’s how I found out about this line
If Sid came out before Flair like it says here, then Sid is the first to have a WCW and a WWF figure.
Good point
I got most of the 1st series.. love them
i am 8 years old and my dream figure is that undertaker figure you have in the platic with the cloak and i am also a subscriber you are my biggest fan
So cool bud man wish I still had them
THIS was the WWF i miss today
I still have a few, but I still have about 25 or more of my LJN classics.
That's what I grew up with.
