My first ever wrestling figures as a young kid were LJN Brutus and Hillbilly. I am really excited for my first foray back into that style of the figure medium with the Hardyz...but I am really afraid that I will love them and regret missing out on so many sets of these. Seeing the pics of Dusty and PoP really have me feeling positive about my purchases. This thread is an excellent hype man.

Please mind my ignorance, what is JCP? Don’t worry, it took me a while too. My mind keeps going to Juggalo Championship Wrestling, JCW, when I see the “JCP” acronym here. What throws me off now is seeing Jersey Championship Wrestling (out of New Jersey). |

Strange because the acronym for both of those is JCW … it’s crazy how the mind works sometimes Sorry, I meant it as a continuation. JCP is always Jim Crockett Promotions to me but I always think of ICP when I see it. But now when I see JCW mentioned, I instantly assume it is Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling and not Jersey Championship Wrestling. The Juggalo version really faded away for a number of years so right as my brain was getting used to reading about the Jersey version, the Juggalo version suddenly made a resurgence. |

Jim Crockett Promotions. The company that became WCW. Got it. I knew it had something along those lines, just couldn't put my finger on it. You could just as well call it NWA. That as well as Mid-Atlantic was pretty much what it was known as during that time. |

What i love about this line is the removable figure case. Gives people an option to display the figures without destroying the package. Well thought out. Thats what got me into collectingcthe four horsemen figures more than a decade ago. I dont think i will be able to afford them all but i definitely hope they make a haku at some point.

Question: Is there any possibility or interest in making a BRG of Harley Race in his King of Wrestling ring gear? I see that there's a Micro Wrestler with that look, and since the LJN in his King attire was molded with an entrance jacket (which I don't believe was ever used outside of that fig), I'd be extremely interest in it. The upcoming King Haku BRG has me excited about the possibility!

I ordered flair and macho king on the same order through wrestling collector. I assumed they would ship separately if they were to be in stock at different times. I cant find any info on there page saying otherwise.
My flair has yet to ship so i guess i wont get that till king comes in?

You’re in luck. 2 coming next year Out of the talent you’ve already announced, I’m looking forward to “King” Haku most. My other remaining realistic(?) top-wanted would be: 1) Hercules (ring gear) 2) Dino Bravo 3) One Man Gang 4) “The Natural” Butch Reed Without giving things away, are any of these pics at least possibilities? Thank you for this wonderful DREAM line! |
