I was a kid at exactly the right time for toys. I had buckets of the old LJN figures, plus random AWA figures even though I had no idea who those guys were. I did have the cool wooden AWA ring, though. I had basically every Hasbro figure until the green card series, and some WCW Galoobs if they had any at the mall. Wish I still had all those Hasbros. Those were the best.

Growing up, I had thirty of those LJN Wrestling Superstars figures (the big rubber ones, with no articulation). Sure, they couldn't be posed into moves, but playing with my own "promotion" was some of my best memories as a kid.

My first wrestling figure was a WCW Chris Jericho figure that came with a chair and a whip and a tiny "lion" because he was the Liontamer Somewhere I have a bunch of more modern ones including Rock and Austin Japanese figures, and matching New Day. I don't shop at Walmart so I haven't even looked for the AEW figures.

There was actually a third Hogan figure that had the same spring-loaded punch move that the Jake Roberts figure did. As kids, my brother and I had all three. I've told this story before, but, in our matches, they were Hulk, Bulk, and Mulk Hogan, and they won a ton of six man tags.

One day my Hulk with the spring-loaded arm broke on impact and I cried, then later realized I could just pop it back together.

As a kid, I couldn't find them at KB, only at independently owned stores near why I lived.)

I remember having to put a heavy cloth on the toy ring because the banging around made too much noise otherwise.

Folks there's actually 5 Hogan figures from the Hasbro line. 6 if you count the Summerslam-carded reissue. 7 if you count the one that came with a JC Penney-exclusive ring. I made a full checklist if you'd like to make a copy for your own GDrive https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13MF-4c9RPuSsSdFSCxbwCRn03IvskmqO_cJ-ufiwKIQ/edit?usp=sharing It includes links to eBay searches for each figure.
