Loose. Collectors. Forever. The FigGuys are officially kicking off 2026 , and we’re starting the year exactly how we like it — surrounded by wrestling figures, good vibes, and nonstop collector conversation. This week’s episode is all about our First Pickups of 2026 , and right out of the gate, shelves are already delivering. We dive deep into the brand new WWE Legends Series 29 , breaking down first impressions on Rob Van Dam , The British Bulldog , “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig , and the legendary Bobby “The Brain” Heenan . From sculpt details to availability, peg sightings, and why this wave feels like a classic Legends home run, we cover it all straight from the collector’s perspective. We also get hands-on with one of the most unexpected and fun releases in recent memory — the WWE x Street Fighter collaboration from Mattel and Capcom . From the bold packaging to the character-inspired designs, we talk about how this crossover hits differently, why it stands out on the shelf, and how it blends two iconic worlds into one truly unique line. Beyond pickups, the episode is packed with the kind of collector conversation that makes FigGuys what it is. We talk Target resets, Walmart hunts, preorder strategies, patience (or lack thereof), and the realities of chasing figures in 2026. We also announce the winner of the Hulk Hogan LJN Contest , with LiPumaMania1980 collaborating on the giveaway , and celebrate another collector taking home a true old-school prize. As always, we round things out with a full dose of Wrestling Figure News , covering the latest reveals, preorders, indie figure updates, and what collectors should be paying attention to as the year ramps up. Between Legends, crossovers, retros, Ultimates, and everything in between, 2026 is already shaping up to b…","meta_description":"Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.
