Can anybody send me links to photos or videos of these superstars in these attires? I own both figures but have never seen photos of either being worn in real life. I look forward to 'Well you didn't look hard enough' comments lol Thank you!   |

I think that Snuka is based from the 1992 Rumble

I look forward to 'Well you didn't look hard enough' comments lol Thank you! I cannot find slaughter in anything resembling that, so maybe that was some of his tights he wore early in his career. I always thought it was G.I. Joe, but I can't find him in anything resembling this attire. For Snuka, he did start to wear longer tights in 1990, thru the end of his WWF run in 1992/93. I don't remember his tights fading from brown/gold to white. But they did fade to a lighter shade of gold/brown at the bottom of his tights near the boots. Here are the only pictures I can find that kind-of resembles the figure. He wore a similar attire vs Shawn Michaels in early 1992 just after the Royal Rumble. .JPG)  |

I think that Snuka is based from the 1992 Rumble I supposed the pants could pass as Rumble '92 but not the boots. Regarding the tights, Snuka's Rumble attire wasn't really that white from the knees down and he definitely wore orange-ish, traditional tiger-striped kneepads, but RR92 does look like the closest match. But the boots were NOT from Rumble '92. In late '91 and '92, include at the Rumble, Snuka would wear those rainbow colored boots at times. The figure has boots that look like something he wore in the later stages of his career (when he would make sporadic WWF appearances post 1992). They don't even resemble the boots he wore at WrestleMania VII, so I don't know where those boots are from.  |

Looks like he was wrestling Brooklyn Brawler. |

Such bad attire choices. Anyone have a fix for Snuka in bare feet?

Found two more images of him in long tights, but cannot post them here. Search these two image links in google and they should show up:
031_PRIME_07301991_0003--9df19ab7351d5b628c84b3e858cc874d
019_JC_0807-scan0014--14bcf037270a10d19f000804a177017c
Both are him versus the Brooklyn Brawler. The tights near the knee pads look lighter but not white. Unless Mattel has another image that no one else can find, it seems they messed up.

Thru should have just made different figures. Seems like they had more options back then. Should have made Hercules and Haku instead |

Hercules, Haku, Savage. Theres a solid line up to start with. |

Slaughter is from 1984, watch some early 84 Championship Wrestling Episodes on YouTube, he wore the blue tights plenty of times, maybe even at MSG once. It was during the Sheik feud. Now a more iconic early Slaughter would have been in black tights with a black tank top. I'm not complaining though, the blue looks great and I love 84 WWF. They actually didn't mold than white tank right, there are red, white, and blue stripes on the back.
Snuka is simply the 1992 Rumble tights with way too white painted down the legs. Mattel isn't good with subtlety or something like adding a light wash. The boots are from another match, they are legit, just boring.
