Hello everyone! Much thanks to all the positive feedback I received for the Smash N Slam Variants video I did earlier this year. I'm back with a new one that looks to really emphasize the "Legacy" in Wrestling Figure Legacy - The Oldest Wrestling Figures. This video required tons and tons of research since I'm way out of my element being a product of the later 90s era of wrestling, so I hope I covered it well enough. I've heard about the legendary Popy line (what a great line-up) for so many years, and to find that there was one that even proceeded that was really interesting. I have to say, I really like the LJN style of figures from this old school era. They may be more rubber statues than figures, but I think their style has held up very well over time. It was fun learning more about them as well as the AWA line, which I knew very little about. There might be a small lull in videos as I begin working on future main-line episodes in this series. A few more reviews are on the way in the meantime. Thanks for watching!

Haha that old LJN commercial with the kid dressed up like Adrian Adonis actually made me want his figure!
Wicked job! You make sure everything is nice and crisp you show as opposed to a lot of the over-pixelated stuff I usually see.

Amazing! Loved this idea. Also loves the wcw one you did. Hope you continue to do more. As a fan of all types of wrestling figures dating back to the 80s, I loves watching tour videos. Keep up the great work.

Great video, thank you for posting. I echo your sentiment on the LJNs, always my favorites along w/the Winston Toys erasers. I was hoping you had dug up some new information on those, such as why some were cartoon character copies and others were LJN copies, info on the recently-unearthed 2-pack tag team of Hulk & JYD, whether they were released regionally (seems that was possible based on where they pop up), stuff like that. I guess we'll never know.
I wasn't familiar at all w/those pre-Popy figures either, those were interesting!

Awesome stuff, I love hearing about these older lines of figures and the little variants and sought after accessories. Keep making these vids man, they're great work and obviously a lot of work go into them, thanks for sharing.

Phenomenal video! I love it when someone makes serious informative content without trying to be funny or some sort of cult of personality type of thing. Keep it up! I'm sure you will find an audience over time.
