Are the ones in the back with the short white tights and the long black trousers from Mattel? Would those head sculpts fit on the Elite Steamboat bodies? Would love to have Steamboat elites without headbands. Those are the heads from the Elite Entrance Greats Steamboat where he is dressed in full "The Dragon" attire. I cut his mullet off to give him short hair.

Over the years, I've collected a total of 8 of the large Star Toys figures. The first series includes Hulk, Warrior, Duggan, and Jake. When you open the box, they come with a little fold out sheet listing all the figures for series 1. Series 2 has Bossman, Jake, Duggan, and Texas Tornado. The series 2 figures all have hard heads and a cloth accessory; they don't have the crazy realistic hair. For Series 2, I only got Jake and Bossman with their boxes; there wasn't any fold out paper with them though. Jake and Duggan are similar to their series 1 sculpts, but different enough to be unique. Now I'm curious though. What does the generic figure look like that you're talking about? Never heared of this 2nd series. The generic one is probably a Tarzan or Hercules figure, even though the foot reads "(R)WWF" and "(C)1991-Titan Sports"... The generic one, that is stamped "WWF" on the foot, but is probably Tarzan as mentioned above.

Bossman is a part of the first series, he's just the only one without "real" hair. I've never seen a Jake or Duggan without the "real" hair. The generic one does look like Tarzan, which I could see someone trying to pass off as Kerry Von Erich. I don't believe that a Von Erich figure exits. I'd love to see a pic of the Jake you say you have without the "real" hair.

The primary focus of my collection are my Andre the Giant figures. I have a bunch. I found this one on the Bay from Spain (although it's all in English). I had to add it to my collection. The bootleg Masters of the Universe style Andre The Giant painted up like Ultimate Warrior. His "official" name on the back is Mark. Just Mark.

Star Toys of Spain came out with 8 officially licensed WWF figures between 1991-92. The first set of figures had the crazy realistic hair and the second set only had hard hair. There's also a set of smaller PVC figures (3.75" scale) that were released, but because there's no trademark stamp on them I don't believe they're actually from Star Toys. Grand Toys in Canada released the final LJN series. Off the top of my head, I think those are the only other officially licensed toy companies that I can think of from other countries. Everything else is pretty much bootleg or generic type of wrestler. I was under the impression that the Star Toys line of giant wrestlers only had 5 (Hulk, Warrior, Duggan, Jake & Bossman). You said there were 8. I know there is one that I've seen that is the same mold, but is a generic looking wrestler guy with molded hair. I'd be curious what you are basing the number 8 off of.

I think this is all except for the LJN Stretch figure. I have several from that line, but not the Steamboat. There are two customs in here. One is a Wrestlemania 1 look and the other is when he made the surprise entrance on SNME to confront Savage. One of my favorite moments EVER. Any that I'm missing?

He hasn't had as many as others, but he was always one of my favorites. I know I'm missing the Mattel Akeem, but it's on the way. Also, I know about the Euro Play "Action Wrestlers", but the one that is supposed to be the knockoff Akeem looks more like Boris Zhukov, so that's where I classify that one. Any I'm missing? On another note, I would LOVE for Mattel to do a One Man Gang with a denim vest. His Jakks & LJN OMG figures are lacking in detail.

25 minutes ago, there wasn't a Big Bossman. Can't find any online. He surely isn't the only one they made. These were discussed a couple of years ago. The loose Boss Man was first seen in 2013, not 25 minutes ago. As far as we know only Hogan, Warrior and Boss Man exist. Made by the company Hyun Dae Tong Sang. They're bootlegs. One old topicObviously, it wasn't first seen 25 minutes ago. I was just making a joke because A$AP said that was new to him. New to me too. No worries. However, the Hogan and Warrior are in different boxes, right? I found some Korean Hogan & Warrior figures online. They look to be the same size definitely different boxes.

Thanks! Do you have any idea if others were made? I assume they were. I've seen Korean Hogan & Warrior figures that are similar in size, but the boxes are different and they don't look as good as this Bossman. Is there a Dusty Rhodes? Pretty sure there isn't a Dusty Rhodes, if so it must be like Bigfoot. 25 minutes ago, there wasn't a Big Bossman. Can't find any online. He surely isn't the only one they made.

Any more details? Were others made? Who? Any packaging or photos? I can't find a thing online about any Korean WWF figures.

Anyone have any idea what this is (brand or any information)? It has a Hasbro Bossman in front of it for scale.
