Wanted to share a couple of original pencil sketches that I recently received in a lot of WWF Hasbro goodies from the guy who worked as the senior package designer at Hasbro during the late '80s and early '90s. He did a lot of the WWF Hasbro package design artwork that we've come to know and adore over the years. There's some cool items in the lot, but these are my favorite, since they're original sketches, and not just photocopies. The first is of the talking Warrior and Hogan figures from 1991. The second is of the "kid-sized" rubber Damian toy, also from 1991. Thought I'd scan and share them with you all before I frame them. My scanner automatically darkens pencil, so the sketches aren't as dark as the images suggest. I'll see if I can get a couple of snaps with my camera later on. Enjoy!   |

Anyone could knock these up! The lines aren't neat enough! Hasbro employee blah blah blah... Sorry, events of recent days seem to have rubbed off on me These are really cool, After years of collecting I've never ACTUALLY seen the Damian snake, I've seen it MISB but not the toy itself - strange I know! Thanks for sharing |

I actually owned the snake at one point when I was a kid. Pretty sure it was a birthday gift the same year I got the Jake The Snake bop-bag.
Actually, that reminds me of a Hasbro story: That was one of the few years as a kid I actually had a birthday party at a venue with not just family. One of my closest friends, who also loved wrestling but was a chronic liar, had told me in the days leading up to the party that his mom had gotten some of the newest Hasbro figures for me that neither of us had. I wanna say this was around the time Series 3 was out, so I'd guess it was Mr. Perfect and Koko B. Ware. Imagine my disappoint when I finally tore off the wrapping paper from his gift and saw a Lex Luger-Sting Galoob two-pack staring me in the face. I hated WCW as a kid!

Good question. The person who provided them to me is the guy who did the art for these originally, so they could be recent sketches based on his original work. I bought a lot from him, so this and a few other things were bonuses he included in the packages. I wasn't clear on that, but since they were drawn by the guy who did them in 1991, I thought they were a neat item to share. He also included some pages from a Hasbro line art catalog that I need to scan and share with you all soon.

I've got some other copies of the original inkings for line art aside from the Beefcake #3 I posted in the other thread. I hadn't posted any of them, since they're all ones we saw end up on the back of the card backings, but I certainly could scan a few of them to share anyway if anyone would like to see them.
Glad you all enjoyed the pencil sketches. It's nice to be able to share them with people who get something out of it.

I would like to see them. I love seeing the original designs for what eventually was made and produced.
