They look like a cross between LJNs and Bendems

Does anyone know where to pre-order or I guess order them? I don't think anything has been confirmed but my guess is its either going to be through Chalkline or Pro Wrestling Tees. I believe it was said it was Chalkline who revived the LJN license. Probably ChalkLine. Ryan from PWT posted on the VIP Facebook group that they're not going in on these due to a pretty high wholesale price. I read that to indicate that these are going to be not particularly inexpensive. May be a pass on that basis alone.

I'm actually pretty excited for these. Hope we get Cody, Brandi, Hangman, Marty and Kenny. LJN's were a bit before my time but I like how they look on display. I wouldn't get my hopes up; the box just reads "Young Bucks". My guess is it's just a deal with the Jacksons. This also implies limited quantities and a pretty hefty price...

Price? I'd pay $30 or less. More than that may be a stretch. Why PWTees would not carry them? Not in line with their business model. They print on demand for the most part, there's no sense in them holding inventory unless they cam put at least a 50 Percent markup on, which they obviously can't here. Simple , good business decision.
anyway, I like the look of these.

If they’re $40 or below, I’ll pick it up. They’ll look nice displayed with the Bucks Pops.

Ugh. Let's be honest, and strip away the nostalgia for a moment. I'm an old school guy, but even I remember the LJN figures as terrible. They were basically solid hunks of rubber that you couldn't do anything with. ESPECIALLY as wrestling toys, the whole point of which was to put your guys into poses. "Twist and turn 'em into different wrestling holds?" Are they going to be bendy like Gumbys? They'll look all distorted.

The old 8" LJNs said "Twist 'em, turn 'em, wrestle 'em", that's why this says "Twist and turn 'em into different wrestling holds". We all know only the Bendies could twist and turn. For being solid rubber figures, the old LJNs still hold their collectors value. These Young Bucks LJNs aren't coming to stores or supermarkets these are mainly for collectors, probably on the Chalk Line site (owners of LJN).

Hmm, I hope they come out with proper action figures at some point, then.

If chalk line owns ljn now, does that mean they can make figures of the same guys they make jackets of?

I'll say $29.99 and they will be sold out instantly.

I think that's the angle. If the feet are level with the ground, I'd say they are probably the same size. They look like they're pointed upwards to squeeze all four figures into the picture. The top arm might go a little taller, but I'm not overly concerned with it. I hope we can get at least the core Elite guys of Marty/Kenny/Hangman/Cody to go with them.
I was a Hasbro era kid. The only LJN figure I have is Piper. I'm buying these as an Elite fan, not an LJN collector. So while I think the concept is super cool, and I love nostalgia pieces, them fitting perfectly along with 35 year old WWF figures is of little consequence to me. They remind me more of the mid 90s WCW OSFTM figures more than LJN figures, honestly, and that's why I love them.

Is it just me or does matt have virtually no sideburns and nick has black hair?

I really wanted these and was super excited, but man they really don’t look that good. I will try to talk myself into them if they are decent price but they just don’t look like the Bucks and at least these appear to be painted poorly. Here’s hoping final product looks better so I can support more figures going forward.
