Link doesn't work, but by your description I'd say it's a "Wrestling Federation" figure; bootlegs based on the OSFTM ECW figures.

You asked, so I thought it's the least I can do. Well, most people like to travel, I go to music festivals. I do 4 or 5 every summer, my only requirement: there has to be rock, metal or blues. You gonna travel to America for Woodstock 50? (I'm pretty sure you're European.) Sadly no, my finances do have their limits...  However last weekend John Fogerty paid tribute to Woodstock, including a rendition of Jimi Hendrix' version of The Star-Spangled Banner and setting his guitar on fire afterrwards! Also our finest locals will pay tribute this Friday at Blues Peer as The Woodstock '69 Revue. |

Ruby Fusion sent me stuffs to peek at from his music festival tour he went to like a boss. Glad it made you smile. Strangely even though I had to go back to work, arriving at my desk made me happy and made me laugh; a co-worker left a sticky note with "Have a ROCKing day!" on it, next to it was an actual pebble!  |

It's like you're a mod who actually listens to me and reads what I say and doesn't blow me off! Good little read. You go to so many of these. How do you manage?

So, for me the fun part of Summer is: plenty of music festivals in and around Belgium to attend. Since Thanos expected a report, here it is!
From the 12th until the 15th I attended Bospop - which for me is just across the border - in Weert, the Netherlands.
On the 12th I got to see:
James Morrison, Richard Ashcroft and Toto. Pretty fun night with a great show of Toto!
Saturday the 13th I saw:
Living Colour, The Cat Empire, Hall & Oates, Flogging Molly, Skunk Anansie and John Fogerty with his "My 50 Year Trip"-tour. Living Colour was great, Flogging Molly is always fun, Skunk Anansie is still amazing after 25 years and John Fogerty's show was simply legendary. I've seen Fogerty 3 times: twice in my hometown and now at Bospop, I can safely say this one at Bospop was the best I've seen.
Alright, on to Sunday the 14th:
Level 42, Foreigner, Rowwen Hèze, Joe Jackson, the Specials and Nile Rodgers & Chic. The headliner of the day was supposed to be Sting, but he cancelled because he had voice problems. So Nile Rodgers & Chic moved to the headliner spot and local heroes Rowwen Hèze moved from the Tentstage to the Mainstage (luckily for me: I wanted to see them, but this lazy ass wasn't planning on wading through the sea of madness aka 30,000 visitors!). Anyway, Foreigner was my first highlight: I've seen them many times, but they never let you down! Rowwen Hèze was the party I expected. Joe Jackson had more familiar songs than I thought and Nile Rodgers & Chic are a Disco and Soul machine that even got this lazy ass dancing! After that there was a great afterparty.
Monday the 15th:
Time to get up, break up that tent and head home! Coming weekend there's another music festival, this time in my hometown: Blues Peer!

CMLL and AAA did have official figures.
In the '90s OSFTM did CMLL, Kelian did AAA. Both were comparable to LJNs.
Around 2010 a company called HAG S.A. did CMLL in 6", these featured more articulation: around 6 points of articulation.
Also around 2010 Playmates did Lucha Libre USA in Jakks RA style.

I think it's a case of too much WWE products...

Yes, I know. But which one is the true variant? They're both real. |

At least they WERE a team at some point... This can't be said about: Perhaps they could grade the WWF tug-o-war team that battled the WBF bodybuilders? Ah, yes, Vince's $15 million failure!  |

Its worth the cost of 6 pieces of acrylic and some glue....£3? Has anyone still got any pics of when they graded Tito and Martel together as Strike Force? At least they WERE a team at some point... Attachment DeletedThis can't be said about: Attachment Deleted |

When I was shopping Kmart I noticed that they had a line of figures called WWE Big Figs and I thought they looked cool. Is this a new Mattel series that feature giant versions of WWE stars in figure form. I also first saw them at Target and had never seen Big Figs before. Did this series start last year? Doctorwhofan The packaging clearly says JAKKS... Started in late 2018, I believe. |

I think theres no market for them. Other than the few collectors on here who want them, i cant imagine kids buying them, i see basics hanging around long enough, the last thing the toy market needs is more figures from another wrestling company. I think there is. It's a bit soon, but the toy market can use figures from another wrestling company. WWE has so many figures today: basics, elites, retros, pop! vinyls, window climbers, cake toppers, metal figures, ... there's an over exposure of WWE. The last year WWE wrestling itself became pretty boring: GMs and Vice-Chairmans wrestling and keeping wrestlers down has been done before, it was boring back then and it's boring now. AEW popping up is a good thing, maybe WWE will step up a little. Some competition in the toy aisle will be just as good. |
