I saw yesterday for the first time the killer khan ljn fig, that was supposed to be release in 1988. Wow what a great figure, im collecting ljn since 85, i have all the collection except this one. In those days without internet, we went to store or check chrustm as catalogue to know what fig will be released. Every figure was a big moment in my fed, getting harley race for the first time and planning a big event so he can face hogan for the title or getting koko bware with frankie and making him new inter champ right away. Every big heels like kamala, jake, gang, boss man, were getting a big feud with hogan. Si imagine getting killer khan in 88, finally a new guy in the fuji stable, because in 88,i think kamala was the only one with fuji as manager because muraci was a face, and ax was not release yet. At 5000 $ i cant afford it , but if someday someone is selling one at 500 $ i will jump the gun. Also i really like the way they did the fig, the position of the arms you can do a lot of moves, you can do his finisher knee from second rope quite easily, and also the hat is a great accessory. What do you think of the figure.

I absolutely love it. Tremendous sculpt. He was one of few wrestlers back then who legit scared me; he would have been a great figure to have!

Cool figure but not officially made by ljn. It's supposedly made from the canceled mold.

Kahn was one of the few bad guys from that era that scared me too. I started getting into older tv tapings from the 80s around 1992-1994. I knew Kamala had become a silly good guy and I knew One Man Gang as Akeem but I only knew Killer Kahn as a scary bad guy. He runs a restaurant now and is very approachable to the fans who come and visit. He seems like a really good guy and I'm sorry he didn't get a toy especially considering the other short term guys who did. I think by 1988 LJN was on it's last legs and not really sure what to do. Best example is Demolition Ax and no Smash.

Yep. And hand painted by the original LJN sculptor.

Who was killer Khan? I only know him from mention of these figures, was his run short?

Who was killer Khan? I only know him from mention of these figures, was his run short? Japanese guy pretending to be a Mongolian and best known from the early 80s. Several people here want Mattel to make a figure of him. He owns a restaurant in Japan now and Bill is always there for vacation, so maybe he can show up there and have him sign a figures contract.

He feuded with Andre in 1980/81 in the WWF and then Hulk Hogan in 1987, both short stints. He also worked in WCCW and Georgia Championship Wrestling.

Not possible. Mattel only makes people signed by WWE, or under legends contracts.

I’ve watched. A LOT of wrestling. Never heard of Khan. Certainly would have made a great figure.

Also the inspiration for Kin Korn Karn from NES Pro Wrestling!
