Awesome countdown Kyle. What I learned in 23 is that I’m not collecting all the retro lines. I’m a big fan of the OG Hasbro line so going to be partial to those that compliment it more. 1. Doink 2. Luger 3. Tugboat 4. Valentine 5. Booger 6. Mo & Mable 7. NWO 4 pack 8. Lawler 9. Vader 10. Andre I think the best retro figs are done by Mattel & Zombie. I wish they would work together to make the ultimate retro figs.
Only Kyle, the man the myth the legend, could make good on that promise to get all these countdown videos out! 1. Greg Valentine epic toys I was always looking for him... 2. Haku chella 3. U S.A. Lex Luger I got him in 2023, not sure when he released 4. Mable 5. Hollywood Hogan 6. Scott Hall 7. Kevin Nash 8. Syxx 9. Vader 10. Raven
I think it's Mattel's lack of molds. They only have like three molds that aren't terrible & they over use them. I am excited about the new black ring. Hope to get a Survivor Series sticker set for it. 1. Black strap Andre zst 2. King Kong Bundy zst 3. King Haku epic toys 4. Mabel hasttel toys I spent a lot of money on Customs so it's hard to pick a top ten list just sticking to the mass production figures. I wouldn't put any Mattel figures in the list. Vader probably was the best from Mattel this year. I got a custom that's better though
It's not just the body molds with Mattel, either. Some of the head sculpts were horrible! Tugboat was absolute trash and Greg Valentines head was enormous! With as good as they do with the Elites, their Retros are sometimes junk.
Mattel is in a similar position with retros/hasbros as Hasbro is with transformers where a lot of third party companies are doing transformers better than Hasbro. I feel like zombie is definitely doing a better job than Mattel.
I feel like you probably should have mentioned this is based on US distribution. I heard our friends across the pond got the Epic Bulldogs 2 pack in hand already
Killin it with all count down figs

Great analogy with that very similar
Kyle, my dude - how could you not put the retro Mattel Paul Bearer on this list? That figure was easily a top 10, if not top 5!
No its not for me hence not on my list. But the real question where is your top ten list???
Awesome list. I like the look of the blade scars and hair style better on this retro more than the Powertown.
I feel like you probably should have mentioned this is based on US distribution. I heard our friends across the pond got the Epic Bulldogs 2 pack in hand already
Why do you think they would make the top ten though?
I'm in England and no sign of my Bulldogs being sent out yet.
Kyle thanks for bringing back the memories my friend much respect 🙏
Like a young Rob Halford 😂😂😂
I have zero nostalgia for this style of figure. That being said I did pick up both of ZST’s Andre so those would be my 1a and 1b.
