    UNBOX-A-THON! Elimination Chamber Fallout & Danhausen Debuts?! | The FigGuys #094

    Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever. Episode #094 of The FigGuys is absolutely stacked as Mike and Tom dive headfirst into one of the wildest weeks in wrestling and figure collecting. Coming off the excitement of WWE Elimination Chamber, the guys break down the biggest moments from the show and what it means for WrestleMania season. From match reactions to storyline speculation, the road to Mania is heating up — and the FigGuys are here for every second of it. But the real shocker of the weekend? The WWE debut of the one and only Danhausen. A mysterious box. Danhausen dancers. And somehow Michael Cole ends up with a jar of teeth. Wrestling is supposed to be weird sometimes, and the FigGuys absolutely love it. Mike and Tom discuss why WWE might actually be the perfect home for Danhausen’s unique character and why the “very nice, very evil” energy could translate in a big way under the WWE spotlight. 📰 RINGSIDE ROUNDUP The figure news this week is absolutely loaded. FigCollections brings the chaos with the upcoming Insane Clown Posse Wrestling Superstars Wave featuring Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. Meanwhile Danhausen collectors are eating well with multiple upcoming releases including Power Packed Wrestlers, Big Rubber Guys, and Mat Maniacs versions of everyone’s favorite very evil collector magnet. Over at Ringside Collectibles, the pre-order floodgates have opened with a massive slate of new reveals including: • WWE Elite Collection Series 126 • Elite Greatest Hits Series 12 • WWE Elite Survivor Series (with Build-A-Figure Michael Cole) • Ultimate Edition Greatest Hits Series 8 • WWE Main Event Series 166 • WWE Top Picks 2026 Wave 3 • WWE Main Event Showdown 2-Packs • WWE Main Event Champions Series 7 If you’re a collector, your wallet might be in serious danger this week. 📦 UNBOX WITH US – THE UNBOX-A-THON This week’s episode turns into a full-blown UNBOX-A-THON as the guys crack into one of the most exciting waves in recent memory. WWE Elite 125 hits the table and immediately delivers some heavy hitters. The long-awaited Demolition Crush finally arrives in Elite form, instantly becoming a must-have addition for classic tag team collectors. One of the biggest highlights of the night is the brand-new Elite figure of Koko B. Ware, complete with Frankie the parrot. It’s a release that fans have waited years for, and Mattel absolutely nailed it with incredible detail, accessories, and shelf presence. As always, the unboxing chaos brings out everything collectors love about the hobby — head scans, accessories, articulation, and plenty of FigGuys debate about what belongs on the shelf. 🎙 FOLLOW THE FIGGUYS Website: https://www.thefigguys.com Instagram / X / TikTok: @officialfigguys 🎟 SAVE ON FIGURES Ringside Collectibles – use code FIGGUYS for 10% off Big Shots – use code THEFIGGUYS10 for 10% off Figures Toy Company – use code OFFICIALFIGGUYS for 10% off With WrestleMania season heating up, the wrestling world buzzing, and new figures dropping left and right, Episode 94 is a perfect reminder of why we love this hobby.

    A Tribute to The Phenomenal One AJ Styles & WWE 2K26 First Look | The FigGuys #093

    Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever. The FigGuys are back with Episode 93 — and this one hits everything: WrestleMania hype, Hall of Fame emotion, next-gen gaming excitement, collector debates, and one of the wildest Abyss admissions ever made on this show. 🏟 WrestleMania Dreams & Ticket Shock The episode kicks off with Vegas plans and WrestleMania week hype — but quickly turns into a reality check. $8,000 lower bowl Elimination Chamber tickets. Blocked watch parties. Priority pass madness. The guys break down the strategy of waiting until the night before to score deals — because patience has paid off before. If you’ve ever refreshed Ticketmaster hoping prices drop… this segment is painfully relatable. 🐐 AJ Styles – Hall of Fame & A Proper Sendoff The heart of this episode is a tribute to AJ Styles. Undertaker revealing AJ’s Hall of Fame induction? Goosebumps. Abyss appearing on WWE television? Surreal. Mike talks about how AJ’s sendoff felt more complete and emotional than Cena’s — and that sparks a real conversation about how retirements should be handled. And then… Tom admits he’s never seen an Abyss match. Which leads to an incredible deep dive into TNA history, Monsters Ball, Raven feuds, six-sided rings, and why Abyss deserves his flowers. Somehow we even get into whether the six-sided ring should’ve been a special attraction instead of a permanent setup. Only on FigGuys. 🎮 WWE 2K26 – Next Gen Only & Looking Unreal The guys go full gamer mode breaking down WWE 2K26. Next-gen exclusive. Insane lighting upgrades. Hair physics finally perfected. Revamped Money in the Bank cash-ins. AAA talent in the game. Mr. Iguana stealing attention. They debate the Ringside Pass tier-skip system — is it optional convenience or unnecessary monetization? But one thing is clear: This might be the best a wrestling game has ever looked. 🧨 Powertown Frustration No fluff here. Powertown’s lack of transparency and long delays get called out directly. The conversation turns into something every collector understands: At what point do you stop supporting a company? Honest. Direct. No sugarcoating. 📰 Figure News Round-Up KWK keeps digging deep: • Mario Mancini (Limited to 100) • Shelton Benjamin variants (with belts) • Bad News Brown with sewer rat & North American Title • Hayabusa (3 variants) • Great Sasuke Zombie Sailor drops: • Macho King Randy Savage • Heels & Faces Bob Holly • Mark Canterbury Regium Raven paint update. Shane Douglas incoming. 🔔 Ringside Roundup • AEW Unmatched 13 announced • WWE Elite 125 now in stock And yes… code FIGGUYS still saves 10%. 🧠 Collector Habits & LJN Morality Debate The episode closes with a classic FigGuys collector therapy session. Is buying blue AND black card variants greedy… or just being a completionist? Openers vs MOC. Full-set buyers vs cherry pickers. How many Hogan variants is too many Hogan variants? If you’ve ever stood in a Target aisle debating life choices — this segment is for you. 🎧 Episode 93 blends tribute, gaming hype, unfiltered collector talk, and classic FigGuys chaos.

    FEB 4

    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?
