Seemingly blocked from seeing without Instagram account. Oh well. Yeah me too. Not sure if I want to install Instagram. I'll probably get hooked! Can anyone fill us in? Is the dog toy a reference to the old Andre LJN? I've heard people describe LJNs that way before. I’ll post some pics shortly for you guys. The link was to a video of the dog accessory prototype spinning on a turntable followed by another video of Andre spinning. It was to give us all a better view. Edit: video expired so I can’t see it anymore. The dog toy is an accessory for Davey Boy Smith it would seem. This was shared recently as well:  |

Haha. Got it, thanks! Yes, the Matilda is exciting. Add her to the very short list of LJN mascots. Frankie, Damien, am I missing any? I'm happy to see the number of accessories so far with this line. For me, that definitely added to a figure's appeal back in the day. I used to add in accessories from other toys that fit in such as Bossman's cuffs, Sheik's bandana, etc.
I remember searching Toys R Us aisle to aisle for any generic bulldog toy that would be the right size to fit in with the LJNs.

No definitive statement that I know of. The dog doesn’t look like Winston nor Matilda to me. |

It would be a cruel tease if it isn’t meant to imply at least one (hope both) British Bulldogs are coming. Kanik said in a recent interview they are planning some Big Rubber Guys with in-stock ready to ship orders. Maybe that’s these? |

The Bulldogs look GREAT.
Does anyone have photos of the Demolition next to real LJNs?

So are those Bulldogs definitely getting a release? I'm gonna have to pick those up if so. |

The Bulldogs are great, I’d prefer ones that should’ve had an ljn but didn’t though. Like Akeem, Dino Bravo, Bad News Brown, Dusty Rhodes, Killer Khan etc..

This line is wonderful, hopefully in its infancy, and my hope also is will get to the WWF’s of the era who never got an LJN. My guess is they want to keep going with the biggest names first to hook people and create buzz. Still, Powers of Pain would fit both- a first timer plus big names (to us, anyways). |

That makes sense, I can see why they went with the likes of Andre, Macho, Bulldogs early on. Hopefully the line is a success and many more come, I like the bi-monthly schedule they are on at the moment.

You’re exactly right. We need to create buzz and awareness. You do that with names like Macho Man. Not Bad News Brown. And I want Bad News in the line! I want to complete the LJNs (the ones we legally can). We got some great names in mine for 2024. Some have been LJNs before, some haven’t. It’s the way to give this line longevity. If all goes according to plan, Feb Pre-orders is 2 new characters and I hope will blow your minds! |

With the Bulldogs now in the line, does that open up the door for singles releases of Davey and Dynamite? |
