*** updated*** , also added proto information

El Gigante was released from the company Playwell. They did not use the Justoys brand name but were scaled for play with the other 12 bendys. Most of the other 12 figures were re-released on Playwell packages. I own some of the re-releases, but have never seen all 12 MOC.

My Steiner Bros. set is the only boxed tag set I have seen since the line came out. Never was able to find the Sting & Luger tag set. There are probably a few out there but have not seen them.

I had the Luger as a kid, but never knew what this line was called. I may need to pick up a few others from this line.

It's really a shame Galoob and Justoys didn't do more than one series of toys in the U.S. I think that's more WCW's fault than the toy companies. WCW never did seem to know how to market merchandise even in the 1990s with the wrestling boom. They had a figure line but very rarely did the they put on merchandise catalogs in their magazine.
