RINGSIDE COLLECTIBLES - WWF Figure Insider!

NEWS:The new Back Talkin' Crushers are now available for pre-order. This innovative set of figures actually talk back. Each figure is programmed with 30 actual voice recordings that are activated when you crunch their elbows and knees. The first assortment of Back Talkin' Crushers is due in December and contains Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Big Show, and The Undertaker.

Christmas Delivery is now GUARANTEED for the Back Talkin' Crushers! If you pre-order today you will DEFINITELY have these exciting new figures in your hands for the holidays!

Rumors are running rampant all over the internet that Jakks may release a final series of bone-crunching action 2-packs in December. I can tell you that this rumor is completely false. According to my sources, no new bone crunching figures will be produced, only repaints of existing figures.

If you still haven't picked up WWF the Music: Volume 4, you're really missing out. Chris Jericho's entrance theme is reason enough to pick up this CD. If you're an Y2J fan like I am, this is the only CD that you need. If you can't get to a store to buy it, or you simply cannot find it, you can buy here for ONLY $10.99!!! That's the lowest price anywhere!!!

I would like to thank everyone for sending in their response. We had a lot of excellent suggestions. Look for the winner to be posted right here this weekend.

I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving next week.

Final Results of last week's Poll:
Hail to the King, baby! Y2J himself, Chris Jericho, is the people's choice when it comes to the WWF Superstar that deserves an Interactive figure. No one can rock the mic like Jericho, and I've got to agree with the masses. We must have an interactive Jericho figure. Finishing second was The Rock, who will be the next Interactive figure by Jakks. Look for the Great One's Interactive figure to be out just in time for Wrestlemania 2000.

X-Pac

Superstar Series 7

When X-Pac's first figure came out in Superstars Series 7, it was impossible to find. He managed to out-sell Stone Cold Steve Austin's Series 7 figure, which was an all-new sculpt for the Rattlesnake. Selling more figures more quickly than Austin is most definitely grounds to be the Classic Jakks Figure of the Week.
