The DVDs were in cooperation with sports channel Eurosport. Each DVD had a wrestler's biography and a match previously broadcasted by Eurosport AFAIK. Were they like DVDs or CD-ROMs? Did they have a menu? The package says DVD, I never opened my Ron Killings...

Just started re-collecting the old mags, and was hopeing to seek out the ones with the Hasbro ads first. Anyone know what Year/Month contained the ads? Specifically wondering about: 91: Tag Teams TRU ad w/R&B 93: Undertake Em' All 93: Mailaways 94: Slam Doink! Also would like the find the issue where they did the behind the scenes tour of the figure making. Think that was sometime in 91' as I remember all the S2 and S1 Tag Teams. Were there any others I'm not thinking of? The behind the scenes tour of the figure making is in the February 1991 issue IIRC...

Error run, OSFTMS aren't the most collectible... Although they're nice.

OK: NO trade requests/offers. That's what the classifieds are for!

I hope the glasses come off. I agree the head is a little small. I know masahiro didn’t have much in the way of abdominal definition but they could have taken artistic license and given him a little two pack. Good thing the japanese toymakers go for realism: Chono with abs would just be wrong...

Well the page on goodsmile.info reads "©ARISTRIST All Rights Reserved.", so I don't think NJPW has anything to do with the figure: ARISTRIST is owned by Chono. Didn't look at their site. Damn. Well I hope it kind of gives Bandai a push to pursue more Japanese talent. The Chono figure is by Max Factory.

Stretch Armstrong was introduced in 1976 by Kenner. The “Stretch man” idea as it was called was pursued with two different bodies in mind. One was a sumo wrestler and the other was an all American blond hunk (the sumo wrestler was never produced). Currently Hasbro owns the rights to Stretch Armstrong.
If anything, the LJN Stretch Wrestlers are knockoffs of Stretch Armstrong...

Just glorious seeing those pegs full of S1! Really wish there were more photos from back in the day, if only everyone had been walking around with camera phones in the 90's. This was a promotional video and didn't exactly reflect reality...

That's not easy to answer... First of all when just looking at US-cards we speak of 11 series, but basically that's wrong: we should count series by assortments, then there are 14 series. This way you find Hogan 1 on a series 2 card. As already mentioned by mksavage there were a bunch of re-releases. So, some figures where definitely produced in higher quantities than others... Thanks Ruby! But surely there’s some kind of indication on whether 1000 or 10,000 of each we’re made. I mean going back on stores selling them around the world and likely to have 1/2 of each minimum you’d think 10s of thousands were produced! Looking on auction sites you’d say no more than 1000 each. Just always been curious about this, someone must know 🧐 I think it's safe to say that the first three series had more than 10,000 per figure produced, with Smash, Hogan 1, Boss Man 1, Roberts and possibly Valentine exceeding that number...

Do you remember the seller? (if we're allowed to post that here) I've also been looking for one of these for a long time, but $100 is just too much. I found someone selling the 1st and 2nd versions of the IWGP title for $68 OBO from Japan. A simple e-bay search "IWGP strap" should give a result. It's more than $100. The 4th version of the IWGP title only exists as a (cellphone) strap. Production was limited compared to the 2nd IWGP title that came with Kazuyuki Fujita, ring announcer Hidekazu Tanaka and exists as a strap. This 4th version was released in 2008, back then it was rather easy to find.

Obviously, 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. Difference is I collect Dusty Rhodes and perhaps have the biggest collection of him worldwide. So I tend to know all that exists of him. But you never know.. So you have his bagged Japanese bootleg?

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. 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. First time Boss Man was discussedAnother old topic

Received my 5 from the Mystery Micro Brawler Grab Bag: CM Punk Cody Joey Ryan Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks Penta el Zero M (Pentagón Jr.)
Too bad I didn't receive Marty Scurll... However I'm very thrilled with Penta el Zero M since he's officially licensed by Masked Republic! Always nice to add an officially licensed lucha!

Ever since the Rockers entered the WWF I've been a Jannetty fan, so yeah I have every Marty Jannetty figure: Remco AWA: Mat Mania Mini Mashers Hasbro WWF: Rockers Series 10 Jakks WWE: Rockers Triple Pack with Santana & Anvil Mattel WWE: Rockers Is he in the concussion lawsuit?? wondering why he's not had anymore Mattels? we all want "The New Rockers" Apparently he is in that class action lawsuit. Anyway, he's still a party animal. If he'd been more serious about bussiness he might've had a second or longer IC-title run...
