I love weird crap like this. That tiny chair though ... If that chair was accurately scaled, Andre would be about 15 feet tall! His head would be about two feet long! It's beautiful in its hideousness. |

It’s $15 And this line isn’t meant to look great. It’s a retro line. Don’t expect realism Exactly. It is a Mego, after all. |

I can't believe the company honestly came up with this design and thought it was be good to release to the public. At no point in Andre's career did he ever look anything like this For as big a legend Andre was/is and for how much WWE portrays him as such, there have been a few companies who made horribly inaccurate Andres. LJN got the strap wrong in the 1989 series. Jakks 1998 Legends was similar to LJN. 2004 Classic had the double strap and now this Mego which screams "Island of Misfit Toys." There's a guy who makes Rock N Wrestling cartoon toys and other 1980s era tv character toys and he's tried to get his line picked up but keeps being denied. In the past he's posted side by side pics of says a "pop vinyl" next to his Rock N Wrestlers to show how bad the Pop version is in comparison. I can't imagine what he would think of this horrid Andre. That bobblehead is pretty awesome, though. |

I'm not really impressed with all these Mego releases. I thought it was a joke. Thing is hideous |

How can I see this guy's work? Those are really nice, If I saw these in stores I would pick these up. Would like to see him make some more wrestlers from that era; King Kong Bundy, Paul Orndorff, along with announcers Jesse Ventura, Gorilla Monsoon, and Vince McMahon. |

Oh yeah, I'd buy these in a heartbeat. Aside from some of the Funko mystery minis, the only figures I collect/keep these days are my old '80s Rock N Wrestling erasers. |

Yeah, I liked the Funko mystery minis, they were cool, wish they still did those. I have all the legends figures except Nash and Taker but I didn't pick those up because they were in their modern look, if they made a Diesel and classic Undertaker I would have picked those up. |
