Hasbro got incredibly cheap at the end of the line. Look at Billy & Bart Gunn's boots & legs in general. Most of the green card figures were just reused bodies with new heads. Adam Bomb is 100% Mr. Perfect sans head, 1-2-3 Kid is Ric Flair/Rick Rude with a new head. One Gunn is Jake Roberts with a new head and the other is Razor Ramon, despite the boots not being cowboy boots and the legs generally not working.. Yokozuna & Crush are straight repaints. Ludvig Borga is a repaint of Lex Luger. Pretty sure he's got oddly painted boots too, just like the Gunns.
From the purple cards on, most figures were mostly reused parts. the "fresh" DiBiase is just a Jake with a new head. Rick Steiner as mentioned.. Both Headshrinkers used Jimmy Snuka's legs and I believe Kamala's torso. The Bushwhackers were just repaints..
I think Yokozuna & Giant Gonzalez were the last two 100% new molds.. and they used Yoko twice.

Ludvig Borga is a repaint of Lex Luger. Borga's a mishmash. Warlord arms, Sid Justice torso, and possibly Luger legs. -J\/\/ |

they re-used soo many figures.. as u can tell when u look at like 1992-1993 figures and see that they say 1990 Hasbro on the back lol.. noticed that early on when i started my collecting a few months ago when my white pants shawn says 1990 on the back... and then realized it was a repaint of Macho Man series 1... and when you look at Berserker, you can see that he is doing the Hacksaw thumbs up and a spot for the 2x4 lol

I used to think that with the dark blue series Bushwhackers repaints. They literally just swapped heads on each figure and re-released them.
