I just recently got into searching around for old Jakks stuff. I bought my first, Bastion Booger. I like the obscure, weird, almost forgotten characters. I seen they made multiple attires for Kenny Dykstra during his singles run. So, between Booger and Dykstra, it got me wondering.. what are the most obscure wrestlers they made?
Side question, anyone have any pointers to get these to stand without wanting to fall forward? Maybe it is just my figure, or the bigger body type.

CS Johnny Rodz for me. All I know about the guy is that he had a wrestling school in Brooklyn. Kenny Dykstra was a major shelfwarmer back in the day.

My vote would have to be Abe "Knuckleball" Schwarz.
You know Jakks is reaching when they release an Alt Attire for the Brooklyn Brawler.

I’m gonna say the boogeyman. Obscure for the fact of the character, and it made for some really cool figures.

Jakks made so much random people, Like The Highlanders, Sylvester Terkay, The Gymini, Colin Delaney, The Classic Superstars line had countless, but one from CS line that stands out has to be Tank Abbott  |

Johnny the bull was a pretty forgotten figure.

I used to collect Jakks religiously before I got into Mattel, and I have every one of those figures mentioned so far.
Obscure Jakks I own include, Johnny Stamboli, Akio, Sakoda, maybe Deuce N Domino, Chuck Palumbo (08 Version), Luther Reigns, Matt Morgan, Marcus Cor Von, Sylvester Terkay.
I'm sure there are looooads more I just can't think off.

Speaking strictly of RA-style figures:
That RA Spike Dudley w/ Kids Hardcore Title that was cancelled that came out like 3-4 years after the fact out of nowhere in limited quantities. We thought this thing got Juvi'd out of existence, but low and behold it came out. This was the one in orange pants based on his later WWE days.
The WWEast Japanese guys in a 3-pack.
Kenzo Suzuki w/ Renee Dupree.
RA Stacy Kiebler in a random Off the Ropes set. Those sets were normally repaint city, and that's her only release in the RA line.

I'm absolutely shocked no one's said Dr. Death Steve Williams.
The only TV match I remember him having was Brawl For All. If he did anything else it had to have been on Shotgun which I didn't get on TV. His figure was timely as it came out in early 1999 when he returned but his outfit (which Jakks didn't bother to get 100% accurate) was based on a time very few remember. Sadly most WWF fans at the time probably just saw him as a random guy in Brawl For All that Bart Gunn defeated.

I am going to make a list and slowly grow a huge obscure Jakks collection. They are so cheap too. I guess A-Train should be mentioned. Preferably the one without the terrible glob of 'chest hair'. |
