*LJN Fans, What'd You Think of Hasbros?*

I never had any LJN's

The one thing that stands out in my mind was that I loved the fact that the Hasbros had more playability. (For the time) You could do a body slam or you could move each figure where as the ljns didn't love at all. I was a fan of both lines to be honest. I hope Mattel attempts to release Ljn figs at some point.

Didn't get into LJNs until after Hasbros. The Hasbros were out by the time I got into WWF. I picked up at least 30 or so LJNs though at Flea Markets and yard sales as a kid. The only one I used with my Hasbros was Andre, and that was because at the time the size difference made sense to me. Always with prefer Hasbro. I think that just comes with them being out in the market and at stores at that time.

I was born in 91 so I was too young for LJN and actually quite young for Hasbros. I can however remember my first action figure was the green Hasbro Warrior.

I started collecting wrestling figures when I was 8. So not only did I collect BCAs from Jakks but LJN and Hasbro. I thought it was odd how the scales were so completely different. Especially since I really wanted Jimmy Hart and he didn't fit in with either BCAs or Hasbro lol. Some guys didn't have any other figures than the LJN or Hasbro. Kamala, Slick, Heenan, Warlord, Repo Man and Koko were all guys I wanted. They never fit in with the current figures but I had a good imagination, I still played with them. I mean cmon the Monster Ring didn't fit the BCAs but a lot of us still bought it haha.

Right! Haha I remember buying it for about $7 at Kay Bee. I got it home and though it was awesome haha. The TTLs and RAs weren't too bad in it. The BCAs looked like minis though lol.

I just always found it funny the size difference between LJN and Hasbro. I mean, the BCAs weren't too far from Hasbro but them LJNs towered lol.

The nice thing about going from LJN to Hasbro was the fact there was a complete reset of the characters. Literally by the time LJN would get a character on the shelf, he may already be out of date or left the federation. The main guys you would see on TV didn't have figures yet.

I think Hasbro did a better job of keeping up and staying current. I never played with the Hasbro's, but I can tell you there's a lot of satisfaction in a rubber fist making contact with a rubber face... and body slams in that sling 'em fling 'em ring... priceless!

Going from one to the other was a crazy transition. They were so different in everything. Ljn were more realistic hasbro was more cartoon like. Ljn Big John Studd was my first wrestling figure ever so it holds a special place. Hasbro gave us that awesome ring. I collected both still have them all but i find myself looking at the Hasbros more so I guess thats my vote.

I never liked the Hasbros as I had every LJN, so I never purchased any.

As an original LJN fan who almost equally loved Hasbros, I pretty much quit when Jakks came out. The second I saw them, I was done. It wasn't until relatively recent years that I noticed their quality got infinitely better over time, which is nice to see. By that time I was out of collecting, though with the frequency at which they release different designs & molds I wouldn't have held interest long. That cheapens the whole thing for me.
