[LJN Style] Big Rubber Guys

I know that was the canceled wave, but in the Major Pod YouTube video when they go over the history of the LJN line, they discuss how Tonga Kid was originally slated for this line, but never released (before the famous lost wave). I’m guessing he’s the mystery figure.

Interesting. It was a while ago when I saw the video, it’s possible I misremembered the name. Perhaps we’ll find out soon. But in either case, I’d personally prefer one of the cancelled wave figs.

Oh, and there's Killer Khan too. I suppose theres a possibility he could be the mystery fig too since there was that prototype wax figure sculpted but never produced.

I started really becoming a big fan of wrestling (WWF) around Wrestlemania 3, but also going back and watching older videos from my local video store. I recognize that Missing Link and Haiti Kid were originally slated for the LJN line, but neither of them are key to my wrestling memories. Missing Link I really only recall from magazines, not sure I ever saw him wrestle. And Haiti Kid I vaguely remember in Mr. T’s corner in Mania 2, and from the 6 man tag at Mania 3, but even that match I mostly remember Hillbilly Jim and Bundy- especially Bundy getting so vicious with the little people, that they all banded together at the end. Even Sgt. Slaughter I remember most from when he came back as a heel in the early 90’s, and thereafter (he was only in WWF as a face pre-Hulkamania, right?). So rant aside about the almost LJNs, I’m really most looking forward to the missing characters who were more involved in the big pay per views of the 80’s, Saturday Night’s Main Events, etc. Demolition- definitely! Jannetty- yes, please! Andre- a want I hadn’t known I’d needed! Others I’d love: Barbarian, Bad News Brown, Bushwhackers, Dino Bravo, Akeem, Butch Reed, Hercules (LJN redo with more common look from the 80s), Warlord (LJN redo more accurate to POP attire), Duggan (LJN redo with blue trunks, better face, thicker, etc), The Genius, and I’m sure others I can’t think of now. I’d still also love if they could get Honky Tonk Man (tights), DiBiase (trunks), and Mr Perfect- though I know these aren’t likely for the foreseeable future. I want to be All-In for the 80’s WWF era figs. But if Haiti Kid and/or Missing Link are produced, I’m honestly not sure.

I'm pretty much on par with you but I'd definitely love a Haiti kid and killer khan because i think it would be cool to have seeing as they were almost ljns

I remember saving all my flag points to get Slaughter. It was a cross-promotional item as the hasbro ad used the LJN guys with Sgt. Slaughter standing over them. Slaughter was harder than the LJN guys.

Seemed inevitable. Great addition to the line and could be an extremely hot seller given his mass/crossover appeal.

Ordered the 3pk bundle, keep em coming! Jannetty and haku are gonna have a match once in hand lol slaughter and sheik gonna brawl too. Flair being in street cloths is a stand alone for now. Promo shots mostly. I hope you give us baby blue to fight steamboat eventually.
