Lex Luger - Why does he come with dumbbells?
I missed the discussion around this when Lex was initially released. Does he come with dumbbells as a nod to the WBF or another reason? I was a fan of Lex in the NWA / WCW days, but did not follow him closely in 1993, which appears to be the year for his Mattel figure.
Can't wait for Sting and the Four Horsemen!!

Luger didn't really have any accessories during that era, unless maybe you wanted to count the flag that a fan would sometimes carry out during his entrance. I can't really think of any accessories that would have been any better or more appropriate than the dumbbells.

The kettlebells that came with that taker/brock pack is pretty bad. ......I personally think the classic tag titles that came with arn and tully are the worst accessories mattel has made to date and should never be released again ;-)
