 When I was 10 years old Mangum T.A. was my favorite wrestler, and I wanted an action figure of him really badly. Unfortunately as we know his career ended tragically. But now after 31 years I finally have a Magnum T.A. figure thanks to Mattel finally taking a chance on it. My in laws got it for me for Christmas. I only collect figures from the 80's NWA era, so my collection is small. But this is perfect. |

Now you can have him beat Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship like he should have.

He was before my time but watching his matches and his overall look made me a fan many years ago and I was extremely stoked when Mattel made him back in 2011 but SEVERELY disappointed when he was cancelled and I hoped that one day he would see the light of day. Thank you for making it happen Bill and MattelDesignTeam |

If you switch the knee pads to ones like The Rock, then he looks perfect. Just like he did in the NWA

A solid figure. One of my all time wants as well. Great pickup. Happy holidays.

Bill needs to keep this fig in his mind always - it'd the hair. The hair is perfect. No one else should have to go without this two toned hair ever again. Sid? Would have looked way cooler. Lita missing the dark shade in her hair is the one thing off on her. Glad he finally made. Love seeing an older fan get that fig they always wanted as a kid. It gives you perspective I think. Mine and my Lex should arrive this week. Can't wait! |

Haven't seen in-store in singles, at walmart though. |

Congrats! Thanks to a heads up from PJ, I finally ordered my Magnum. Much like you, I've been waiting a long time for this figure.

Always great to get something you never thought would be made, and that TV title belt looks awesome too.

He was before my time but I've seen gone back and watched old JCP and he quickly became one of my favorites. I hate that I can't find Tully or Arn here in Canada, and we definitely need a Nikita Koloff to go alongside him.
