Damn -- these looks amazing. Especially the Warrior I was wondering if they were just images of the original figures and not the actual 2Ups as they look immaculate! |

I grew up in South Jersey, I remember going to Atlantique City, in the early- mid 90’s, which was a massive antique show at the AC convention center. It had to be fall of 93 or 94, I was at Mark Huckabone’s booth, he had lots of preproduction stuff, in a display amongst a bunch of blue harvest Star Wars prototypes, I noticed a massive Jim Neidhart fig, I had no idea what it was, and it wasn’t until I was an adult collector did I realize what it was, has that Jim ever surfaced again? I didn’t even ask about it, but that day turned out good for me anyway, He sold me a Hasbro Nasty Boys 2 pack for $20, which was a major score for 13 year old me….
Also, I had heard/ read somewhere that Mark Huckabone had owned a Dusty 2 up at one point and that it had been dropped and shattered into pieces, I don’t know if there is any truth to this story, but a Dusty 2 up has never surfaced, at least not to my knowledge….

Thanks for sharing this. I also went to toy conventions when I was between 11-15, and also would have no idea what those were (and I wouldn't have wanted it anyway -- only what I could play with!)

Yeah there’s pictures of that Dusty on here, and you can see all the shatter cracks. Heard he was taking pictures of it, dropped it on The driveway. I just wanted to post that warrior and lol pic because I didn’t see them pictures in that post |

I wonder if that Jim Neidhart is the one I saw when I was a youngster. Could be since it appears he and Dusty live in the same person’s collection. Amazing to see this stuff so many years later! |

I loved Hasbros growing up but I liked the LJNs more. I would have loved having Hasbros similar size as the LJNs. I guess with having moving parts and more intricate paint jobs (since 1980s WWF wasn't as colorful as early 90s) the 8-9" figures would have been more expensive to make in bulk.

I do think 2 ups look cool. Personally I prefer the customs because most originals are all beat up since they were not supposed to last.
But in a display case the customs can look amazing
Also just how amazing is that warrior - probably my favourite hasbro figure - phenomenal design snd execution
