any one have a pic of the sets that came with russo, bischoff, and mean gene? There was no Russo, but there was a Bischoff, a Mean Gene, and a Michael Buffer. Mean Gene is one of my favorite wrestling figures ever. I think Toy Biz captured his likeness perfectly and is my favorite figure made by Toy Biz as far as how much it actually looks like who he's supposed to be, something that Toy Biz was hit and miss with sometimes. I wish I never got rid of my Mean Gene and I'm going to start looking for another one to add to my Hulk Hogan collection as his personal interviewer.  The Bischoff set had two variations. One with a black-haired Bischoff, and one with a gray-haired version. I don't believe they were store exclusives, but I could be wrong. The Mean Gene and Michael Buffer sets were both KB Toys exclusives and they came packed together in the same case. I know this because I worked for KB Toys at the time.

I could have sworn they made a Russo. Well there's one I think could have been a cool toy. I'm actually very surprised they never made Kimberly. Man do I miss the brawls between girls like Ms Hancock and Major Gunns. I watched a match between them a couple days ago. So very epic |

I've never seen those before. I heard of Toybiz making protos of them though. I doubt they would have sold well at all. Even as a diva collector I'm kind of turned off by them. I think a regular sized Kimberly would have been awesome.

Well, it has limited articulation, but do you really need Michael Buffer to have that many points of articulation? It also won't tower over your wrestlers like the Jakks version does.

That's one reason I couldnt stand some of the Jakks figures. Teddy Long, Paul Heyman, Mean Gene, Howard Finkle....too darn tall. |
