I know it’s been long roumored and the odd blurred image has floated up now and then but while putting the final stages of the Hasbro Book together we uncovered who not only has the following...
Bagged
Hulk 1
Hulk 2
Macho 1
Piper
Brutus 1
And Bossman 1
I know there’s been some debate on these bagged figures.
Plus
Hogan Red
Taker Dark
Bret Purple mailaways
A Kamala moon on Card,
A full set of carded figures
But also the Spanish Jake The Snake with yellow snake!

Never heard of the yellow snake, but the Beep Hart mailaway is definitely cool! 😉

Bagged Piper, Beefcake and Bossman?  I've never ever seen a Spanish MOC Roberts with yellow snake, plenty with the known snake. |

I remember the yellow Snake. It was an ebay auction roughly a decade ago. I was the high bider or BIN buyer. Don't remember. In the end I did not pay the guy as clearer pics weren't available and a closer inspection made it obvious that it must have been the yellow snake from Jakks Pacific with a (pretty good) resealed Jake the snake on spanish card.
Summed up: bogus
As far as the other bagged figures go, is anybody really believibg that Kellogs offered a WWF mailaway figure in Europe and not one single member overhere remembers it? Neither a promotion nor a single member as a witness. ... well... must be true.

I saw these pics on Instagram yesterday and was wondering what was going on. The Kamala looked legit but all the other stuff in totality made me wonder if any of it was real...
The persons IG handle is uk_wwe_hasbro_fan if anyone is curious.

If you google wwf cereal you'll see the WWF Superstars cereal with the promotion/ad on the box, i believe its a win hasbro toys thing, i doubt the prizes would have been sent in polybags though |

Why is it so difficult to post pictures on the board? Google search shows a box with the bushwakers and one with the warrior with an offer on it. Appears to be ralston and not kellogs.

Really odd why you have to have an image hosting account to post pics I hqve seen the images, shows the 12" figures on there too, they wouldnt have been bagged, im not sure they would have sent bagged figures out |

Most forums are like this one to post pictures, it's the way forums are build: you upload pictures to a hosting site (Imgur, ImageShack, ...) and paste the picture url here in the window you get when clicking on "Insert Image". Anyway, I found a Ralston cereal box saying something about "win free WWF Toys" Attachment Deletedcredit: mrbreakfast.com |

The bagged figures with the stuck on see-through labels are fakes.
Some guy was knocking these out about 15 years ago with almost every figure in claiming to be Summerslam 92 giveaways.
The others look legit and are Silvervision, JC Penney and potentially a cerial mailaway.
Agree on the snake card as well - this is not legit.

The snake definitely isn’t a Jakks snake.

I believe this is the snake. I honestly cannot remember 100% but I had all those Jakks variants back than, so I was able to compare the pics from the ebay listing with my in hand figures. The snakes differ in their colorscheme, but I think I remember this one being a (too) close match.  |

The snake definitely isn’t a Jakks snake. What makes you so sure? Compare the two sculpts/forms, they match. - the head is turned to the insode of the card because the snake is looking to the right. - the end of the snake (the other side, don’t know how to describe it better in a - for me - foreign language, sorry) is pretty short - I remember even the snakes shed were matching. Maybe someone may be willing to post a lose Jakks snake. I unfortunately do not own one anymore. |
