Does anyone remember a store that sold these back in the early to mid 1990s?
It was an actual chain type store that almost exclusively sold toys. Not like Hasbro or any major lines, just stuff like Disney (wasn't Disney store) and cartoon PVC toys, cups with cartoon images, stuff dolls and lots of various kids items.
I seem to remember seeing these as in that store as late as 1994 though I had them a few years earlier, too.

It was not a toy store, but Hallmark stores were sellers of the figures. I am sure there had to be more sources, but I had a friend who was a distributor who sold them to Hallmark.

In Australia the figures, keychains, and pencil toppers were available at "Timezone", which was a chain of video game arcades. On the games that you won "tickets" you could then redeem these tickets at the prize counter. I've probably got the full set somewhere as I was obsessed with anything WWF at that age. Thanks for all the pics.
