I demand some stop-frame animation NOW!

On that note, anyone seen that Sum 41 video? Really cool

Check out these kickass Japanese figures:

I really wanna get a few of them but the cheapest I've found them online is like $40 a piece. Ouch!

The hell is he holding? A Kraft single? A yellow card?

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

pride right?

The hell is he holding? A Kraft single? A yellow card?

It IS a yellow card. In Pride, they're issued whenever a rule is violated. One time, before his fight, Rampage gave one to the ref as a joke.

Macho King! That rules!

those aren't the real OLD wwf toys. You want old, find some of those bigass rubber, nonposable figures from the 80s. I know i have a Hulk Hogan, Hillbilly Jim (with the nose bitten off, thanks to my dumbass uncle), and Randy Savage buried somewhere in my closet.

 

[Guzim]

Those old toys rock!

 

[Hitman]

I've had the big rubber ones and those small ones before. The BEST wrestling toys were WCW's Smash N Slam series. Toys were super detailed super posable and they came with many accessories.

I remember when those WWF toys came out...and they were the nu skool toys. The ones I grew up with were unposable rubber ones, around 8-10 inches tall.

 

[Bog]

I have a lot of those. Yes, have, not had. I also still have about, I dunno, 30 of the original huge rubber ones. They're all up in my attic.

 

[Memles]

I used to have a few of the Hasbros, but sadly they went missing. Still have a water damaged Ring, though...and about 120 Newer Wrestling Figures. And a custom built arena.

They're in closets and basements now, but I can admit I still have them.

No mailaway Hulk Hogan in the red outfit?

LJN did the rubber figures, as well as the thumb wrestlers from the mid-80s.

Hasbro picked up the license in either 89 or 90, had it until Jakks started pumping figures out in 1996.

I don't recall who did the early WCW figures... Galoob, I think. Then Old San Francisco Toy Co did the big rubber ones in the mid-90s (also the vibrating ones...), and Toy Biz did the most popular ones.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Only WWF Hasbro figure to ever enter this household. Got it as a little present for my bro for $3, $5? I forget, probably 8 years ago. It's all about dem LJN's!

 

[evil ways]

I had at least the first 3 series of WWF Hasbro figures, and a few others that came later including Lex Luger, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Ricky The Dragon, and Papa Shango, and I sold the whole lot on Ebay about 4 years ago. Got $around $190 for them. I only kept extras of Ultimate Warrior and Million Dollar Man, for sentimental value.

All my LJN WWF toys never made it past 1989 where they were either chewed up by cat/dogs, or given away to needy children.

I never really got into the Jakks WWF/WWE figures aside from the 1996 Ultimate Warrior and a Stone Cold Steve Austin which I still have somewhere around my closet, and the recent Classic Superstars Ultimate Warrior and Ric Flair.

 

[revivalist]

Yes... I have nearly all of those figurines... in my room as we speak. They're stored away.

 

[TAJ]

I never had any, but I practially lived with a kid (our moms were best friends + had a mutual babysitting agreement) who had a ring, and a ton of LJN figures, including some of the earliest, like the long-haired Andre the Giant and Superfly Snuka.

 

[Alucard]

I thought you meant the OLD old figures...the rubber ones that weren't poseable. I used to own the Hart Foundation with the tag belts in that series of figures.
