Cool. Count on me buying 2 of them. One to open, and play with when I have battle royals with all my other figures, and one to keep in its box, and have signed, and hang in my trophy room.
Just out of curiousity does anyone out there have any idea who was the first wrestler to ever have his likeness made into a doll for marketing and when? Younger fans will probably try to say the first dolls were the early WWF set, those bigger ones from the 1980s, but this would not be correct.
I want to say someone from Mexico perhaps? Blue Demon? When O lived in Arizona, going back to say 1981, I went across the border in San Luis Rio Colorado, near Yuma and found a large (about a foot tall) plastic Blue Demon Doll with movable arms. I paid $1.00 for it. The thing was not new then, so I am going to say it came from the 1960s.
Any other ideas?
that is A GREAT SHOT of your action figure james
i think they got you down TO A SCIENCE
Some dolls in the past have looked dead on and others have been utterly ridiculous, but this one is indeed one of the ones that are dead on. The facial expression is priceless. They even have the cane right.
Never got a really good look at it until now, but the cane looks like a replica from the one Claude Rains beat the shit out of Lon Chaney Jr with at the end of The Wolfman.
Again, this is an awesome creation.
This is great!-I'm sure you worked very hard for this.-You must be really cool,because the last person I can think of who had a doll modeled after them, was Gene Simmons.-Even my distant cousin [Barry Windham] wasn't so lucky.
This will be a great addition to my collection
well Deserved and a good likeness I'd say
Fuckin' cool man! You're right..every little detail is there!!! Cool so put me down for one LOL
