It's been a few months since I posted any recent additions to my collection. I completed my loose Hasbro collection and I've been focusing on LJNs. I have nearly every figure in the LJN Bendies collection, except two variants (Hogan w/ blue knee pads & Paul Orndorff w/ shoe laces). I have a little over half of the LJN thumbs. I just need Ricky Steamboat, Paul Orndorff, Jake the Snake & King Kong Bundy to complete the set (I'm not sure how serious I am about completing it, Jake & Bundy are $$$$$). I only have a few Hasbro MOCs, but I found Skinner cheap on eBay and it was too good to pass up. As far as the regular LJNs are concerned, I think I'm about 70% complete (or more). I've been buying up some variants and cheaper stuff, I will have to wait on buying any black cards, since they are quite pricey. I also bought a Miss Elizabeth (not pictured), because I have a question about her that will be in another thread. Here are pictures of the new stuff and the final picture is my collection display (I'm running out of room!) I still need to frame my Hasbro GiG posters and put them up.       |

Your 16" Piper looks like he got his ass kicked, but solid group ya have there! Hahaha yeah, he came in a lot of LJNs I bought off a local guy. I got them super cheap, but they were HORRIBLY dirty. They were sitting in a garbage bag in his garage for over a decade. Once I cleaned them all up with a Magic Eraser, they were near perfect w/o paint loss. It took me an entire afternoon to clean them all up. Unfortunately, Piper's shirt was stained dark brown and it took me forever to get it a dull shade of gray (it's supposed to be white). I'm glad LJNs didn't come with clothing or they would have all been in the same sad shape. |

It turned a P.O.S. disgusting lot I bought into a shiny lot, full of life and vigor, haha. |

What does Paul Orndorff with shoe laces look like, and is it considered rare? |

Piper, Orndorff, Sheik, and Hulk came with and without laces. In my experience going back 15+ years I've never seen one being more rare or valuable than the other for either wrestler.
As far as what they look like, they're simply molded boot laces that are painted the same color as the boots.

full bendies set is 24 figures...
nothing is that crazy more rare than others.. no bendie is worth more than like $10-15 loose... with most expensive probably being Heenan, Beefcake, blue kneepads Hogan and brown boots Piper...

On a side note, MOC you'd generally see them top out around $100. However there are a couple "tag team" 2-packs that were sold which have fetched over $300 each before. Not sure what the going rate is these days especially because prices fluctuate so greatly, but there was nothing special about them except they came 2 per pack. Then the singles had 2 different card backs: one which was the same as the large LJNs and one which had cartoon art from Hulk Hogan's Rock N Wrestling just like the Winston Toys eraser figures did. Sorry to hijack, but hopefully someone will have wanted to read that  |

Instead of adding a new thread, I'm just going to add to this one and show my recent additions. I've bought various accessories too (Jake Roberts snake, Piper's kilt, Mr Fuji's cane, Volkoff's hat, Freddie Blassie's cane) Here are the figures I've added recently (I would have black strap Andre, but the ebay seller sent me Ted Arcidi instead and mixed up my order.....ARGGGGGHHH!)   |

I would have black strap Andre, but the ebay seller sent me Ted Arcidi instead and mixed up my order.....ARGGGGGHHH! Yikes - Talk about disappointment! Yeah, I messaged him today as soon as I got it. I sent him pictures of everything and hopes he refunds me the money. It's been a few hours and I haven't heard anything back. I give him until this time tomorrow and I'm putting in a PayPal claim. I've been anxiously waiting for it to arrive all week. total bummer. I saw recently sold an Arcidi, so I'm sure the guy who bought that one, got my Andre instead...which I'm sure he's not sending back. |
