I've recently started to purchase and collect old Wwf Ljn thumb wrestlers. I know there are mostly common ones like hogan, hillbilly jim, piper, and iron sheik.
I also know there are some that are very valuable and rare such as Jake Roberts, Bundy, and Orndorff.
I know I saw a few old posters that had some prototypes of guys like Muraco, Terry Funk, Andre, and Corporal Kirschner.
Does anyone know if these figures were ever released as they are damn near impossible to find!

I like this series and the macho man was one the first figures I got. 20p from my friend in 89 ish.
Never knew about the rare ones until recently but got an orndorff in a bundle of figs. No luck on the bundy and jake tho and probably out of my price range. Im hoping the prototypes turn up eventually

There is a bundy and Jake on eBay. Both are missing significant paint and are still fetching upwards of $150-$200 for each. |

I managed to pick up Roddy Piper and JYD a couple of weeks ago for £4. Piper isn't in the best condition but JYD is pretty good.

As of now there is only 1 King Kong bundy (vs orndorff ) that is known to exist IN THE PACKAGE and just this year the first jake the snake (vs steamboat) IN THE PACKAGE finally surfaced. There was a jake that appeared on here a few years ago in the package but was considered a fake because jake was on the left ( all thumb figures have the good guy on the left ) but it was packaged with steamboat so who knows . Not even a picture of jake in the package has ever appeared until this year. I have been searching for over 15 years weekly for the jake MOC... Orndorff is defiantly a great thumb figure but has appeared often in the package in the last year or so. So if your collecting loose then it will be easy to complete a set but if your trying to do MOC then I wish you luck ( the asking price for the 1 jake MOC is $5,000) .

Just wanted to let some of you know, there is a listing for 2 sets of these on ebay, Piper/Orndorff and Macho Man/Hillbilly Jim, Mint on Card. Don't know what a fair going rate for these are but they are being listed at $250 (American) for both sets.
