That's pretty sweet looking. I got into wrestling in early 1993, so Warlord wasn't around anymore then, though I always knew of his existence from the Hasbro line that I got into around the same time, I don't really have any attachment to him so I'm gonna pass on it, but it does look very well done.

So this isn't before time.... But I just don't get the appeal him and the Barbarian both. I mean I know they had okay runs before they came to the WWE but their runs in the WWE weren't that good and they didn't do anything really after.. I just feel like even if you're looking to get everybody from the eighties and early WWE these guys wouldn't really be on the most wanted.... like if it was Greg the hammer or even Bruiser Brody I understand... but warlord and Barbarian I guess I just don't get it

Demolition were big old looking guys, but Barbarian & Warlord were as jacked as LOD. As WWF mid careers both their gimmicks and attires were not only very appropriate but pretty damn cool. If you think kids like clowns like Doink, I garauntee that Barbarian's furs and antlers will be a hot seller. Putting aside kayfabe for a bit, Barbarian is legitimately as tough as Bruiser Brody or Meng/Haku, that's badass as it gets and probably the biggest reason I want Barbarian in my collection. He was UFC 20 years before it was a thing.

Nice figure, but thats a big ole pass for me. Can we get Mean Gene now? I dont need Mattel to make everyone ever, but it would be nice to at least release the stuff weve seen...

My Warlord just arrived. I haven't unpackaged him yet, but I'm afraid he's way too tall. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Unless you stand him in a corner, he's going to require some customizing to fit within the collection.
The head also looks to be on the Jakks size as well. What is it with all the enlarged heads as of late?
