At the risk of getting too personal, like many people, I’ve got lots of stressors right now. Big Rubber Guys are my best therapy. Thinking about my upcoming preorders and wish-list potentials is literally what I go to sleep to lately. These are my most anticipated toys since my childhood. Thank you!

Reminder to people who were interested: today is the last day to get the Andre figures ($55 each) as well as Macho Man ($49), or $159.85 for all three: www.majorpodmerch.com/I ended up going with the black strap. If I really want the blue strap later on, I’m sure it can be acquired. I was a little surprised that there weren’t any shipping or taxes in the charge which was nice. |

Yep, in today’s collector market, especially for independent toys, I think these prices are very reasonable! |

We thank everyone who has made a purchase!!!
We are very excited for 2024.
All of your feedback has been helping.
Our goal is to have fully rubber samples of Bulldogs before December Pre-order.
The plan was to have Feb figs IN STOCK for Feb but that may change due to Chinese New Year.
Who do you want to see in 2024 and IF we repainted Macho, what gear would you like to see???

I don’t personally want repeat characters, but I understand it. My top realistic(?) wants for this line are Powers of Pain, Bushwhackers, Bad News Brown, Hercules, Dino Bravo, King Haku, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, and Butch Reed. |

Well, I folded and bought Savage. Need to find a good looking LJN sized Winged Eagle for him.

Awesome… it’s 4am and I just got up as I realized I forgot to prder my figures. Got a set of all 3. the shipping would have been the same for 2, 3 or even 5 big rubber figures (~ €36). Still amazes me how a rather smaller brand is able to di their homework for international shipping while ringside happens to fail for years now.
Glad I got my set although these will cost me around 80 each which is a little high for a complete collection.

Would love a silver and black savage from when he teamed with zeus. My wishlist for this line is long but I'll throw a few names out there. Definitely all the almost ljn's including killer khan. Would love hercules, butch reed and dangerous danny davis too. I'd go for guys after the ljn era as well. Nailz would be cool and giant gonzalez would be amazing! |

Haiti kid would be cool because he had a canceled ljn. Islanders would be amazing. Any and all versions of crush. I'd chose demolition version first followed by evil then kona

I know it’s another remake, but Jim Duggan with face paint from Summerslam 89 would be cool as well.

Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson are both available? the Brain Busters big rubber guys would be great. This will answer at least half of that: http://instagram.com/p/Cy8gRm8uphA |

I ended up getting Andre. Wanted Macho but will probably wait to see the final product and maybe try to pick up later. I do also think his head is a bit oversized and might also seem more accentuated because the neck might be a little on the long side too. I know there's a pic of the LJN Macho next to the BRG Cardona. It would be nice to see that pic next to the one with BRG Macho and LJN Macho, in order to compare the BRG Macho and Cardona heads just to see if there's that much of a difference. Not a big issue though, and the BRG Macho still looks great IMO.

Understanding that some of these guys might not be able to ever be signed, but if ever doable I wouldn't mind remakes for those that could have been done better by LJN. A few that come to mind are: Orndorff (too huge with tiny waist, and that speedo??), Snuka (too skinny) Rude (horrible pose), Warrior (face is horrible and he needs some veins and more ripped!), and maybe Kamala with mask?
Other remakes that I would be okay with would be for ring gear versions of the following:
Hercules with chain
Honky
Dibiase
Ax and Smash (with O-rings more centered on torso I hope!)
Piper with long hair
Hogan (we got the LJN red/white shirt Hogan who is great, but it would be cool to have a true ring gear Hogan more accurate than LJN Series 1)
Also, I think it would be cool to have an announcer version of Ventura with one of his stylish outfits and removable hat, along with a Monsoon fig of course.

Loving this line! Thank you for making it a reality I think I’m in a different camp than most on here. I love the style and the era. I don’t care if it’s WWF or not. The figure I’m looking forward to the most is Flair! I would love to have a NWA Muta, NWA Terry Funk, Road Warriors, Lex, Dusty, Sting and on and on Of course on the WWF side, I’d love to see Dino Bravo, Killer Han, Hercules, a good Steamboat, Brain Busters, and so may others Id take a Zybysko, Bockwinkel, Lawler, Kerry and Kevin Von Erich Look forward to whatever is coming, I know you guys will hit it out of the park with whoever you do! |

The NWA guys would be great. I used to be WWF kid, and my friend a NWA kid, until he introduced me to PWI magazine where they used to have the ranking system and those fantasy matches and tournaments between federations. I wanted LJN NWA figures so bad back then; especially Flair, Skyscrapers (Spivey and Vicious), Lex, Road Warriors, oh and Muta would be so great! |
