Such an unbelievable missed opportunity this channel was, man. These videos were so, so good, and they performed way better than similar videos in the scene. And here we are, going on 4 years since anything dropped. I don't know anything about the creator, but if you see this, I hope you're well. And if you ever come back, I think you'll be greeted with open arms.
I think he's still active on the wrestlingfigs forums
dude cheers!!!! I AGREE!!!! I just said something similar on one of his other videos, dandan.
I fear maybe he passed or something
That Ron Simmons fig should have just had a shirt that said DARN on it, lol.
Came here to post that, didn't have to. That would have been the best alteration since Nia Jax's mkII of the 'I'm Not Like Most Girls' shirt for men.
Originally it was a men's shirt declaring the wearer not to be like most girls, anatomically accurate if a little redundant, but the glorious revised version said simply:
"I'm Not Like Most"
That is so brilliant I'm blinded just writing about it.
_"Ooh, check this guy! He marches to the beat of his own drum"_
_"How can you tell?"_
_"Just read his shirt - it says he's not like most."_
DANG!
I was thinking it would say Dang but yeah Darn works
What about doom racist
@@beyoncebillings6625 we dont really care about that
How could you ever forget Billy Gunn's iconic Goat Man gimmick
Mr BAAAAAAA
Or how could anyone forget his famous entrance music..."I"M A....AAA..err BA MANNN!!!!"
It's was one of the most iconic and memorable themes of that era! LOL
I was a victim of Chaos In the Cell. I was so pissed off and upset and like many, thought I got a defective one.
"JAKKs likeness of Edge is better than the Mattel version"
HOF Edge would like a word with you on that
"Damn"?
They afraid to print a word "Damn"?
Well, "Oh my" or "Zoiks" would be a fitting replacement.
How about printing "Darn" on it?
Production values like these for a channel still this small are astounding, I could watch videos like these for hours, really blown my mind with these and earned a subscriber, keep up the amazing work :D
Remember last year when Mattel announced the ring scale of money in the bank and even showed a picture of it? What ever happened to that? 🤔
Kevin Gucci or mattels elimination chamber
Chinese New year
these are excellent videos, very detailed and well researched. keep up the great work!
I see big things for this channel. I was waiting for a channel like this. Very clear and concise
Absolutely love the visuals. Your voice is great.
That one didn’t age quite so well
@@turtle0053 hahahaha u beat me to it
I couldn't give a fuck less about action figure collecting, still a very well put together, informative, and entertaining video. Cheers 🍻
I too bought the chaos in the cage when I was around 10 or 11. I was gutted there was no roof but the cage itself was brilliantly made and I got so much use out of it
@Red Dogg - Rebel4Truth you just responded to a 2 year old comment... Why
I just responded to a 4 year old comment
The Chinese New Year figures could be easily fixed.
Just rip some arms off of regular RA Figures (preferably from doubles of figures you already have) and put em on Grenier, Dupree and Reigns.
And then you have the original figures.
Man I remember getting the Cell and being so confused when I took it out of the box. I went back to Toys R Us and tried to explain mine was missing the roof and wanted to exchange it (I was probably only in the 7th or 8th grade at the time) and I looked through all the boxes on the shelf to find none of them had a roof! I was so bummed as a kid, I wanted that Cell so bad!
just stumbled upon your channel man, quality quality quality.
the fact you're a man of BCA means that you get quick sub from me.
That Stone Cold head in the opening.. whoo boy lol. kinda love how awful it is.
Thanks! And yes I am - I will definitely be featuring more BCA on this channel. Haha yeah, that head is downright frightening!
Just found this channel and love it! Thank you for taking the time and providing informative and entertaining videos. Keep up the good work! 👍
Had no idea they made la resistance figures
Damn I was too young to even notice such details, but let’s be honest the paint was going to get slammed off anyways lol
Excellent video. This has a better production value than anything I have seen on RUclips.
I love it when I stumble across great channels like this. Subbed!!!!
Now 6 years later we finally got the NWO hogan
It’s funny that I have my ultimate edition hogan on my desk as you said that lol. Just saw ur vid today. Subscribed.
Awesome work!!! I can't wait for the second part....greetings from México!
Hey there! Thanks for watching!
Lucho Punk I like Rayados de Monterrey
Great video. I'm still not over Chaos in the Cell.That was legitimately one of the biggest disappointments of my childhood.
Also, I popped big for the AFR reference. It was the very first message board I signed up to when I got the internet!
Gotta say I disagree on that Hogan body type not being good enough for that era of Hogan, I think it works perfectly, he slimmed right down during that era because of lower back issues, it’s a good fit.
Dude, your videos are great! Very well done. Can't wait for more.
What are you, his friend? Terrible. Information isn't even correct
eLi FILMS K.
eLi FILMS so when will you be putting up your video response correcting this information???, since you have the knowledge please share
Just found the channel today. Have to say this is some damn good content! Can't wait to see more!
BTW if they did that shirt, it would probably just read APA Grill.
BRING THIS CHANNEL BACK
Update: HOLLYWOOD HOGAN IS BACK IN THE ULTIMATE EDITION LINE!
I can’t wait
@@tinky_winky4488 When is it due in stock?
@@drizzyfest6285 January 2021
Holy shit dude your theme song reminds me so much of the The Warriors subway theme it's crazy. Awesome.
Just stumbled on your channel and now I'm binge watching lol
Well, thanks man. I thought someone just stole the parts for the roof of the hell in a cell I bought . But today I got closure 20 years later lol
So glad I found your channel man!!! Great videos! Very informational and very well-made. Keep up the great work brother!! I subbed immediately!
You are one of the best youtubers because these facts are true very well done and most people probably didn't know some of these facts and mistakes
Hey dude. I love The Dear Hunter shirt in your intro!
Liked faved shared and saved. Just found your channel. Love the content, production and everything! Keep up the great work!
Awesome shit man high quality stuff here subbed.
Thanks for jogging my memory. I think I got suckered into buying that Chaos in the Cell
Holy fuck this channel is so good
Ok im subbed. Seen the WCW Toybiz video awhile back and that video was really good but hadn't subbed yet and now this video popped up in my suggestions and I was super entertained! I grew up with Jakks and Toybiz wrestling figures and I remember all this stuff, its such a great feeling. I collect still to this day but the Mattel figures dont get me as excited. I only get my favorites nowadays. Sweet video bro! 👍
@wrestling figure legacy I'm a die hard LJN original WWF figures fanatic!! Just like many of your comments already afformentioned I stumbled upon your channel because I have subscribed to so many WWF based story channels especially LJN. I started with your History of Wrestling figures which was so well done I subbed immediately. I'm glad your channel is growing and will be looking forward to the rest of your upcoming episodes!
Robbie RuPac bobbie heenan r.i.p.
“Don’t tick me off!” Is my favorite
Finally a good wrestling figure channel. I'm loving your content and I've only watched two videos so far!
Orion Ake thanks!! Much more to come.
Like number 2k. I'm happy to have seen your whole catalog, as you do a great amount of coverage for each figure.
NGL I was kinda hoping the censored Ron Simmons shirt was just gonna say “DARN” 😂
Great video, cheers from Mexico! Just subscribed.
Nice touch on Hogan wearing the Bojack Hollywoo bandana!
Can’t wait for Volume 2!
I'm so glad Jakks Pacific can't do WWE figures anymore. While I appreciate the legends line they created, their figures sucked compared to the ones now
Fool Tool Mattel is way better bro.
Fool Tool so are Jakks. Jakks made everyone have the same mold, and practically same size. Heads were good tho. Less articulation and sometimes god awful heads
@@thomascars1
Or when Paul Bearer was taller and bigger than Kane? That was a deal breaker for me. I still want a select few Jakks figures, but only singles (aside from the Demolition trio) and only a few.
I have that road dogg titantron figure, I never saw the packaging before and didn't know he was censored. Really cool and thanks for the info!
Really loving this channel. Hope to see more videos up soon!
Love your videos, can't wait for vol 2
Thanks! Vol 2 is going to be a doozy, that's for sure. I'm hoping to have it out by the Fall.
Wrestling Figure Legacy
You're obviously very passionate and knowledgeable about your chosen subject. Excellent work!
You should be very proud.
I had the cell set when I was younger. Talk about a bummer
Love these vids, you have a new subscriber
Holy cow. I had the chaos in the cell when I was a kid. I didn’t know it was supposed to come with a top door. Lol
Hi, I stumbled across your channel today & love it! Just making my way through your library now ☺️ are you on Twitter?
Yep! @WF_Legacy
Love these videos btw never watched them before but their great!
Just subbed, great stuff!
make more of this series it is so good
I've been waiting for a new video!
That preview Moolah head looks like the mom from That 70s Show.
Hey man . I've been watching your vids and just gotta say great content you definitely deserve need more views. but I have a question. I have an action figure that I have no idea who it is can't match it up. is there anyway of me sending you a pic to try to help figure out who it is. and what set it's from? it's been killing me for years. I think it's from maybe 1998 - 2002ish .. thanks for the content and keep up the great work
came from WFIGS, loved the video
I have 10k subs but when I see what you are doing I’m sure you will have 100k within a year. You are killing it dude
Heard Ryder and Hawkins talk about that Jeff Hardy one. Lol
Hey where’s new uploads ??? Love this channel and the content ... definitely would love a new classic history of figures like doing hasbro and the rare cancelled final series and the Galoob uk show rare wcw figures etc
Excellent production!!!
Awesome video, really enjoyed it!
I still have my Kurt Angle figure from the first part of the video. Pissed me off so much as a kid because I couldn't do a proper Ankle Lock or Angle Slam.
Great stuff, had to sub.
Ooooh baby!/Ooh baby/You're makin me crazy/Every time I look around/It's fuckin' dank!
Hope you upload more :)
That Moolah jacket could've been changed to prevent kids from taking off and swallowing those plastic jewels/beads. Just an observation!
Thanks for the great video . Keep it up bro ✊
Hey now there is a Hollywood Hogan
And a better one
Yeah
This was recommended not long after the Ultimate Edition HH was announced!
I don’t have a Mattel Hollywood Hogan on my desk but I have a Hollywood Hogan storm collectibles on my shelf.
I have that La Resistance set with the original arms, I remember wondering why the arms we're like my old ones, now I know, thanks!
Holy shit I had that Chinese New Year Angle and Luther
I bought Chaos in the cell, believing the box art. Needless to say, I was pissed because, the ring I owned already had a steel cage. As I was disassembling it, a bracket snapped. So I returned it and told Toys R us it was broken
Awesome idea for a show good job
I remember asking my mom to buy me that Chaos in the Cell when I was 9 years old. I remember the disappointment I had when it didn't have a roof and I remember constantly looking at the box then the set up and back at the box. But being 9 years old I just dealt with it because 1. I didn't really know better about being duped just dealt with the fact it was what it was and 2. I just assumed it was a Cage Match set up and instead just treated as a Cage Match instead of a hell in a cell.
Bring on part 2
Very good channel 👍
I always thought that they probably removed the moon from Kamala because the star/moon combo too closely resembled the star and crescent, which is considered a religious symbol to some in Islam. Maybe a PR edit.
I miss being a child.
Funny those Dudley boyz were my first wrestling action figs ever lmao
I had both the Luther reigns and the Sylvia’s figures as a kid, and was disappointed they weren’t like my other RA figs. Had no idea it was even advertised differently though since I was roughly 5 haha.
17:25. Any videos of this playset? I don't even remember it coming out.
I had that cage when I was growing up. I remember being a bit disappointed and confused after opening it and realizing there was no roof. Besides that it was dope.
"When the moon is a counterfeit, better find the one that fits
Better find the one that lights the way for you"
It's pretty funny that the Teddy Long figure looked bigger than Rey.
Is that Jakks Championship Title Series set with the "Europeam" mispelling worth anything? I still own the set sealed in a box and was holding onto it hoping it would be worth something someday after Owen's death. I never sold it, but and I only noticed the mispelling after seeing this video.
Glad this is in my recommendations
I had that Farooq figure. I thought Ron Simmons was so funny so the first time I saw his figure at Toys R Us I had to have it. I knew it was his old name even though I was too young to see the APA, but I was sad it didn’t say the signature “DAMN” on it, however, as a kid, I thought it would be inappropriate for a kids toy to have a “bad word” on it. Edit: My first ring was the Piper’s Pit ring. It was great! And the Piper Figure was one of my favorites
When's the 2nd video coming out????
That Hollywood Hogan is coming out soon.
Your videos are great, but I've noticed you haven't uploaded in over a year. Hope all is well and you can return to uploading such great content soon.
Such a good channel, I hope you’re okay.
oof this brought back a lot of nostalgia
