ibb.co/jTYZwqSibb.co/qjx9nNjibb.co/9Wj5NtVibb.co/tx2ZD86My favorite toys ever. Period. This is my childhood collection, still proudly displayed in my home office. The only replacement is Big John Studd, who I had bought MOC about 10 years ago, but whose package got ruined by water damage while in storage. I was able to salvage the figure, and became a nice Mint Loosey (Studd was my first ever wrestling figure, so a fitting one to have Mint). And yes, I know the Slaughter isn’t actually LJN, but he came out during this era and fits in nicely to me. Nice! I’m also an ljn guy! My fav childhood toys. I’ve since gotten most of them carded. I started buying them moc around 2012. Expensive then, but just crazy now. Very impressive! I’ve contemplated doing that too, maybe just with select figures. But family has to come first, of course. |

Nice collection, that Warrior is pristine! Is that one of your originals? Thank you! It is! By the time I was getting the final figures though, I’d become pretty obsessive and not wanting to damage them when I played. That's honestly one of the best preserved Warriors I've ever seen. Always wanted to own one, mine would've been bald from play! lol. Kudos! |

Great Collection! I never get tired of seeing LJN figures.
My childhood Ultimate Warrior, Rude and Warlord dont look that clean. They saw a few battles. These were my favourite toys right up there with my GIJoes.
I have a whole collection including a few variants. I had a good bunch as a kid but finished off the set in later yrs. My best find was a Black Strap Andre for $7CAD at a flea market in the early 2000s

Yeah, I was that snobby kid who never let my friends play with my wrestling figures, not wanting them to damage them. |

Like many, I’m sure, Bundy killed my ring and I never replaced it. I never did have the cage either. And somehow I have misplaced my original belts (and, sadly, Frankie). One of these days, I’m going to hit up a con and buy a good condition LJN ring that I can see firsthand. |

He cracked a few ribs on Hogan and others but never my ring! Lol My rings damage came when i accidentally cut the bottom rope with scissors cutting snd strutting like Brutus the Barber Beefcake. |

Did you score the beloved black cards as a kid too? Or acquire at an older age? Either way, awesome! As a kid! From a magazine mailer. I remember anxiously awaiting that UPS delivery! Still think of it whenever I see a UPS truck. Lol Bet you wish now that you had been wise enough as a kid to leave those black cards Moc … but it happens at that age, I had just about all of the Wcw Galoobs when I was 12 or 13 & I just had to open them as soon as I got home with them 🙄 😆 … awesome collection though still |

I don’t collect for financial gain either, never have … I was simply speaking from a Moc adult collectors perspective these days |

Nice collections! It never gets old looking at people's different displays. Best toys ever, I agree with that. Wish I kept all my originals I had as a kid but I ended up selling them off on ebay years ago because it was time to "grow up". Funny how that turned out.
One I never had as a kid was Sarge, didn't even know he existed. I remember being in college in Florida, probably around 2001/2002, and I stopped by a toy and comic store and was amazed to see him standing with other LJNs for sale. The owner explained what he was and how Hasbro made him etc., and I was just brought back into the LJN world again just like that. I didn't love how he was so out of proportion and huge, but having that one vs not having one at all would have been nice as a kid. Really wish LJN could have produced the originally planned LJN Slaughter because that version looked real good IMO.

 I also have LJN bendies every figure , there is still a few versions I need but I have every figure, for example I don’t have hogan with the laces in his boots, or roddy piper with the bright red boots. |
