Growing up I started with hasbros and missed out on owning LJNs.
I've picked up a couple loose ones in decent condition recently.
Anyone willing to share some of the favorites in their collection?
Thanks

Beefcake, Bundy and Macho Man saw lots of in-ring action when I was a kid. Piper took a beating loosing his shirt completely as I'm sure most did.

A couple that were mentioned already, but I always loved Haku. He just seemed to so cool in that pose, and his likeness and body sculpt were great.

Greg Valentine's figure was pretty dead on to how he looked. From face to body type.
I always liked the Kamala figure too, much like the Haku figure, his pose was perfect for his splash and doing super kicks.

I always wanted the Bam Bam Bigelow as a kid.....never got him in my collection though. My first wrestling figure was the LJN Iron Sheik. I didn't know who he was at the time I just liked the figure, I actually picked Sheik over Hogan's LJN LOL.

I always felt Harley Race was an awesome likeness as well. The figure w/the pre-ring attire wasn't particularly great but you could always stage interviews that turned into fights  |

I had some LJNs before I ever owned Hasbro's thanks to the kid across the gravel road I lived on, who had grown up a bit. He was in High School so he gave me his LJNs. I had the no-shirt Hogan, Paul Orndorff, Ricky Steamboat and Iron Sheik. Orndorff looked like my step Dad so he's the one I always used to win. I didn't really even know what wrestling was at the time though, had never seen it until 1991.
Look at the figures they made though, the ones listed are definitely some of the cooler ones from the line. As a kid, I'd have liked to have had Warrior, as he was my favorite once I started watching.
Edit: Oh crap, I had Hill Billy Jim and Nikolai Volkof too!
