8/6 Update: Enjoy and LMK what you think of them! If anyone wants to do business on these, or can route me to a place I can flip them (other than auction sites), I will give you a percentage of the sale. PM me directly!
        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*ORIGINAL POST
I used to get these at the airport when I was a kid, these came out of vending machines, I believe they were either 50 or 75 cents, and it was a total crap shoot on what you got. All I wanted was that Hogan/Mr T sticker plus I loved the LOD's, Capt Lou & Cyndi, hell I loved them all. What do you guys think? *MODS- apologies if this is in the wrong forum and needs to be moved. I wanted to show them off and if also, anyone's interested PM me!

Very surprised to see Larry Zbyszko & Steven Regal with their own stickers. Very retro 70's vibe to them.
FYI: The AWA released that same image for Steven Regal's T-shirt. I think they sold 4.

Very, very cool. It's awesome seeing the different promotions being represented. Also interesting they had JYD's G tattoo since I don't think we've ever seen it on a figure.
I would have loved those as a kid, most local drug stores or five and dime type stores had a machine with these type of stickers (not these but ones in similar style). I'd spend all day and all my money trying to get all the wrestling ones if they were around.

The Cyndi Lauper one looks sharp. What a great collection.

I have about 4-5 more of these that I'll post over the weekend.
What's funny is the sticker above, on the lower left hand side, is actually a Mike Rotundo doing an airplane spin. I have a double of it which will be part of the update tomorrow or Sunday. I have a couple other stickers of other superstars-nothing major, but just cool 80s shit, the time of MTV's "Remote Control" and heels and babyfaces having two separate entrances walking out from opposite sides of the arena (Nassau Coliseum for me).
I think there could be a market for these today, another revenue stream for WWE to appeal to the youth *even though they're headed back to TV-14*.

ARE you? Are YOU!? It should be in the other wrestling toys board. But it’s fine it can stay here.🤪 |

These are cool. Never seen them before. I have some of these but power rangers ones. I believe they sold them at supermarkets & arcades. I think they made attitude era ones but using real photos

These must have been made without permission right? How could they have gotten the rights for both during the promotion war. You would think at least WWF Would have never unless maybe it was just early enough
still, very cool - I loved collecting these type of stickers in the mid 90s but never saw WWF ones till 1999

They had the 6 inch plastic guys in the early 90s based on the first LJN series and then the late 90s or early 2000s smaller plastic based on late Hasbro series (i.e. the famous Diesel head prototype). I imagine these stickers probably went under the radar for any issues to occur with copyright. |

Wow, these are awesome. The only prism stickers I would ever see as a kid were for ninjas and martial arts. I would've loved to have those Road Warriors stickers...wouldve been the **** in middle school with those plastered all over my notebook.
