  3. Kissy Face, Drop Hips & Royal Rumble Glory | The FigGuys #090

    Kissy Face, Drop Hips & Royal Rumble Glory | The FigGuys #090

    Kissy Face, Drop Hips & Royal Rumble Glory | The FigGuys #090 Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever. On this episode of The FigGuys, the wrestling figure podcast for collectors and fans, Mike and Tom dive deep into the WWE Ultimate Edition Shawn Michaels figure, inspired by HBK’s legendary Royal Rumble 1995 victory. From Ultimate Edition articulation and head sculpts to wrestling nostalgia and modern collecting debates, this episode breaks down why this Shawn Michaels release matters — and how it stacks up among the best WWE Mattel figures today. If you’re a Shawn Michaels fan, this episode is for you. If you’re an Ultimate Edition collector, this episode is definitely for you. Mike and Tom break down what makes this release hit differently, from the unmistakable zebra-print entrance gear to the personality packed into the head sculpts — including the now-legendary “Kissy Face” HBK. It’s not just about how the figure looks, but how it poses, how it displays, and whether it finally feels like the right Shawn Michaels body choice in Ultimate form. The discussion leans into the real collector debates: • Are drop hips actually a win for posing? • Which hands matter most when displaying HBK? • Does this release feel like a true legacy Ultimate, or just another great Shawn? • And where does it rank among modern Ultimate Editions? Royal Rumble energy flows through the episode as well, keeping the conversation loose, funny, and unmistakably FigGuys — the kind of talk that feels like hanging out with friends who know exactly why this era of HBK still matters. Then it’s time for Ringside Roundup, where the guys hit the latest pre-orders, sellouts, and surprises across the hobby. From hot Ultimate Editions and Legends waves to short-packed Main Event figures, the takes stay honest — including a rare “Passhausen” moment that had the chat buzzing. The episode also gives some love to the Regium Raven head sculpt reveal, earning praise for how close it’s already looking, plus a little collector humor along the way — “Quoteth the Mitch Nevermore…” included. And of course, it wouldn’t be a FigGuys episode without showing respect to the Big Rubber Guys — including that undeniable shelf presence and ongoing appreciation for the Macho Man Big Rubber Guy, a reminder that sometimes size, nostalgia, and vibe matter just as much as articulation. This episode isn’t about hype for hype’s sake. It’s about why certain figures matter, how they represent eras, and what makes a release feel like more than just another preorder. ⸻ 💬 Question of the Week Where does this Ultimate Edition HBK land for you?

This isn’t a news-heavy episode.

From long-awaited returns and flawless executions to surprise debuts and “how did this even happen?” moments, 2025 proved to be one of the most spoiled years collectors have ever experienced, and Episode 85 covers it all. The conversation also shifts to the state of wrestling itself — highlighting standout character work, emotional moments from the year, and why wrestling figures help preserve the memories that matter most to fans. Most importantly, Mike & Tom take time to thank the community — the collectors, creators, companies, and listeners who continue to make the hobby and the FigGuys journey so special.
