This is a concept which could later turn out to be made into a tournament (akin to something I put together on the old TWF to determine "our" favorite Jakks CS/RA figure at the time). Simply put, nominate as many Jakks WWF/E singles series (in other words, any line with individual figures in a package, so no 2/3/4-packs) as you want which you believe deserve to be considered among the best. Obviously, this is about choosing our favorite singles series produced from 1996-2009, but keep in mind that a series with little or no recognition or one that probably isn't as good as you think won't be likely to win in a tournament. Also, try to give at least one good reason for why you think others should consider your favorite series. You don't have to be spot-on with the exact number or description of the figures from the series, but have a general idea of what is/was included. I'll take care of the rest as I modify this original post. I'll nominate a few in a follow-up post, and I would suggest keeping the nominations to no more than five-per-post as there will be plenty of time for this process (I'll let you know when I'm considering starting the tournament). Let's get it started. Nominations:

I'll start with three of my favorites.
1. BCA Superstars Series 1 - It is a landmark series that could only be attempted once, and it turned out to be pretty good with a few insanely valuable figures for a long period of time (Razor, Diesel).
2. TTL Rulers of the Ring Series 3 - This series has pretty much everything you could want, but namely it has some of the greatest debut, as well as TTL in general, figures you will ever see made by any wrestling figure company (Raven, Saturn).
3. Ruthless Aggression Series 1 - Along the same lines as Superstars Series 1, this series was also an important moment in the history of WWF/E and wrestling figures as Cena, Orton, and Lesnar (along with Chavo, and brand new versions of Bischoff and Mysterio) all made their debuts and ushered in a new era for both companies (WWE & Jakks). Lesnar is still one of the most sought-after figures some 7-8 years after its release, and the birth of Cena/Orton has to count for something in the collecting world.
