B-Generation X | Ep. 043 | The Toy Episode, Wrestling Toys Then, Now & Forever

The Podcast for Bad Boys is back with a childhood throwback you don’t want to miss. This week on Episode 43 of the B-Generation X Podcast, we press rewind and dive headfirst into the world of wrestling action figures — because this isn’t just an episode… this is our TOY EPISODE. We break down the full history of wrestling toys — from the oversized rubber legends that barely moved, to the fully articulated, hyper-detailed figures of today. We talk about our earliest memories playing with wrestling toys, backyard fantasy booking with our rings, and how different companies changed the game as contracts shifted through the eras. From WWF/WWE, WCW, and ECW to modern lines from AEW and TNA, we cover the contracts, the companies behind the figures, and the evolution of detail, articulation, and realism. We each bring pieces from our personal collections to the table and talk favorite figures, classic rings, rare finds, and the ones that got away. We also debate who’s making the best figures right now and what the future of wrestling collectibles looks like. This episode is pure nostalgia, collector energy, and toy aisle chaos. Because in this Toy Story… nobody’s staying in the box.
