I grabbed the Wild Samoans today and thought it would be cool to take a family photo. I don't have Tamina or Naomi or I would have included them as well. The Wild Samoans are packed with their sarongs on backward. In the original showing of Sika from Mattel he had it on the right way. When they got packed, they were put on backward. They always tied them in the front, just like on the Elite Umaga. The Samoan Dynasty! It's pretty cool seeing the legacy they've grown in the WWE.  The Wild Samoans. I know it wasn't a popular choice but I'm glad Mattel made them. Great figures to add to my collection. For those who may not know, Afa is on the left with the shorter hair, Sika is on the right with longer hair.    What's up with the silver knee joints? Did they have silver lines on the back of their trunks?  How Sika was originally revealed. His sarong was facing the right way.  How they're packed with sarongs facing the wrong way. Reminds me of all those photos of the Wyatt Danial Bryan Jumpsuit on backward with the closer in back.  |

They don't look bad. Great pics
I'm wondering what's with the back of the knees. Why are they white?

Love the photo. Just had my sister-in-law grab the Wild Samoans last night for me. Should have them on Wednesday.

Any idea if their trunks had a line on the back knee? Looking at pictures and videos I googled I only saw them in black tights with the yellow rectangle on they're knees. It could be a mistake or I could be wrong. |

Samoan wrestlers are so toyetic. Kicking myself for buying and then returning that Yoko, for never buying Rikishi, and for continually putting the Usos on the "next time" list until they became too pricey to buy. Your pic makes them all look awesome!

You're right, I believe he's from Fiji. I thought I remembered him being related to the Samoans through marriage in some way. |

You forgot Tamina and Naomi, both members of the family as well.

I'd love if Tama Tonga and Camacho found their way to WWE. Plus if we were to get Haku.
And I'm probably one of 5 people who would buy Deuce and Domino.

I did watch them quite a bit back in the day (weekly) and I don't remember them with the silver behind the knees. Then again it is at least 25 years ago since I watched them so I could have forgotten it of they did in fact have silver behind their knees.
And yes Snuka was related though marriage.

I watched them back in the day as well. I don't remember that weird detail. Reminds me of the Magnum figure with his matching skin colored knee joints instead of white. |

What's your Jimmy Snuka wearing under his jacket? Not a thing. The black that's showing is just the robe folded down. |

I only ever remember seeing the color on the front of their knees... never the back.   The most damning evidence is this Jakks figure, because Jakks was always 100% accurate.  |
