So really the only wants of the set I wanted were randy orton and Enzo. Didn't really give any others a second glance. But today I looked at the Brutus beefcake and I was sold by just the look of him. His torso and tight design are awesome. But using hulk hogans torso seems very inaccurate. Anyways can't wait to get all 3.

Brutus is a guy I never pass. I have liked all his figures from Hasbro right through.

I was too young too see him compete. But he was pretty buff. I wouldn't say as buff as hogan or even close.

I'm pretty sure Beefcake is the same height as Animal-LOD. Thighs and short calves even with tall boots seem like they're 6'0 scale

Beefcake is 6'4" in real life.

Brutus is a guy I never pass. I have liked all his figures from Hasbro right through. Brutus Beefcake represents a wrestling era that was synonymous with my childhood. Even if the figure was awful, I feel as though I owe it to the kid inside of me who watched Wrestlemania III over and over until he broke the VCR. |

It is a awesome figure and we've waited a long time to get him in the line so I'm happy with how it all turned out and hope we get a pink or mega maniacs version down the road

Beefcake is 6'4" in real life. He's very tall. I'm 6'2 and he was all of 6'4 when I met him. He's a lot closer in size with Hogan than people think. |

Ill have to see them side by side but Im almost pretty sure the Beefcake & Hogan dont share the same torso, at least not the lower part. Beefcake has a belly button and Hogan doesnt.

Easily one of my favorites from that era. So glad to finally have him in our Mattel collections.

I met him once at a signing a few years ago. He didn't say anything, didn't even seem interested in being there. But he's got a hell of a signature and I can't wait to get him to sign this one for me!

i met both Brutus and Hogan this past weekend. Brutus is still 6'4". Hogan is probably about the same now, but with the back surgeries, he has gotten shorter, so back in the day he was taller.

Ok so beefcakes figure isn't all that inaccurate. I just feel that a triple h torso might have fit better.

my favourite memories of the Beefer was 1989 which was arguably the high point of his career. Teaming with Hogan etc etc. Other figures of Brutus I would like?
Mega Maniacs-to go with my Team Red/yellow of Hogan, Warrior & Savage
Disciple: A Basic would do just fine....Id love him in a BP with Vincent or someone else we don't have. Some lesser member.

Yep Thanks for your reply. We all have the common sense to realize what you pointed out. The point was that Beefcake wasn't that much shorter than Hogan. In this picture, he isn't that much shorter even while leaning forward which supports the original claim that they are closer in height than people were suggesting. |

This is the same thing people crap on Jakks over. Yet Steph can get a whole new figure mold every year SMH
