RINGSIDE COLLECTIBLES - WWF Figure Insider!

It seems as though Ringside Collectibles has somewhat of an exclusive. Jakks made a mistake in early shipments of Titan Tron Live 2 figures sent to retail stores by including only World Title belts. Ringside customers have sent e-mail's letting us know that they have been receiving the 6 different belts that are pictured below.

Remember, if you order a set from Ringside Collectibles you will most likely receive the different belts. However, because the packages are sealed, Ringside Collectibles cannot guarantee which belts you will receive.

The Bone-Crunching figures are disappearing from stores as Titan Tron Live figures are taking over. Many retail stores are clearing old stock of BCA figures to make room for the new figures.

Despite the end of BCA, Jakks has released a sixth Special Edition series to KB toy stores. Most notable from the assortment are Hardcore Holly and Jeff Jarrett. If you don't want to spend $20 for 3 figures you already have and a Hardcore Holly repaint you want, Holly is the same figure from the Hardcore Title 4-pack. Jarrett is the same as in 2 Tuff 5, only instead of black trim, he has red trim around the design on his trunks.

Don't forget to check out Ringside Collectibles Millennium sale. You can find incredible deals on some of the most popular Jakks figures and accessories.

Final Results of last week's Poll: The voting was close, but it seems as if the true spirit of the holidays is alive and well. The top response to last week's poll is that it doesn't matter whether or not you got everything you wanted for the holidays.

Big Bossman

Superstar Series 8

The Big Bossman, originally in Superstars Series 8, was one of my favorite figures of 1999. The figure was a dead-ringer for the Bossman in all his riot-gear wearing glory. This is definitely a figure no collection is complete without.
