Hello all. I am new here, however I have been collecting figures since I was probably 7. I am 33 now. I have a full Hasbro set minus the mail aways. Recently I have been very fortunate to pick up 2 Simba bootleg Hasbro sets. Of 6 each. I currently live in Germany where they were sold. I have been able to acquire them from second hand toy shops. They are great. They used the Hasbro molds and put their own twist on them. Let me know what you think and let me know if you have any interest in the second set.

Awesome! I've never seen these before. The elephant straddling the a on the logo made me laugh.

Nice. I have the one on the far right. These are a bit smaller than the Hasbro figures.

Your second picture fooled me, Hasbroandy; I thought were those first series figures really so small? Then I realised series 2 stands in a seperate ring. I always thought that first series Fighting Bull would be a great Big Bully Busick.

Man i would have loved to have those guys back in the actual Hasbro days! The imagination runs wild with possibiities. Would they have been new stars? Or perhaps jobbers for my weekly Superstars or Raw shows? Who knows, but i would have loved to have them for sure. Thanks for sharing.

The "bootleg of the bootleg" would be the spanish release of series 1 (still called Wrestling Champs) by I think Eureka Toys, they came carded but with plastic bubble and seperate bubble for the title belt. They split the line up in Virtuos and Evil; faces and heels, yours is part of Evil and is called Pit Hammer.
