 Here's what I found. I'd say this is up there with one of my best figures ever found. I suppose not many know this exist. I'm happy I paid £13 + P+P. It does have something like Titan Sports approved 1990 China underneath. Also included is the picture, which made me aware this exists.    Still looking for the bargains. I've had a good few coming my way. I'm awaiting a King Of The Ring wrestling ring, which I paid £40. I'd rather pay a sensible price these days. |

Good find pal. These were actually made by Applause in the early 1990s. There's also a number of the same figures with bases.
From the top of my head there is also:
Andre The Giant
Hulk Hogan
Jake Roberts
Brutus The Barber
Big Boss Man
Ultimate Warrior
Not sure how many of those were also key rings, Hulk, Macho and Warrior for sure though.

Andre, Beefcake, Hogan, Savage and Warrior were available with base. Boss Man, Hogan, Roberts, Savage and Warrior were available with keychains, Hogan and Warrior have variants. Hogan, Savage and Warrior exist also (a bit modified) as pencil toppers. Nice; never saw the Gig packaging! And, yes, they were by Applause, not Hasbro  |

GIG was just an Italian distributor for WWF related merchandise. You'll see GIG labels on anything from Nintendo games to random wrestling merchandise.

Thank you for the bagged example, figurecollector! Laughing with: "World Wrestling Federation presents: Hulk Hogan And Co." You are welcome. I have only seen the bagged ones once and bought it. I have the pencils too, but no Roberts. I am not sure where the other Hogan toppers came from, although the one on the left appears from a stamper. I included some WCW pencils as well.    |

Hi did my picture work, It should be the pencil toppers and brutus key ring but I just noticed it has been modified by somebody. Sorry for the double post. In noting the Beefcake key chain, it is an entirely different chain and different ring to hold the keys with a flip piece instead of a ring. The screw looks to be slightly larger as well. I wonder if it is a custom? |
