Nice collection Hollywood, thanks for the pics. Looks pretty tight in that ring with all those half naked guys crammed in their, lol!
A bit off topic, but still WWF LJN related, I came across a Hulkamania Workout cassette tape that has the LJN logo on it, does anyone know where it is from?

Awesome, thanks for the info. Maybe a few of us can get our parts together to come up with a complete set, lol! Have never run into it before.

I only have a few, Hulk, Macho, Andre, nothing rare. I Love them though. For some reason as a kid I cut Junkyard Dogs hair, just shaved the rubber off his head with a knife. Don't know why really.

I'll bet that was something to see. The bald Junkyard dog.

My favourite line of wrestling figures! I wish I listened to my father when I was young and he said keep them all in the package, they will be worth a fortune one day. He was right!

If I had know what I know now, I would have bought 5 of everything. One for MOC, one to be loose and 3 to sell!

One of my favorite lines of all-time. Just in the past few months I've narrowed my loose collection down to needing one figure, the black strap Andre. It's my least favorite of the line with all the inaccuracies, so I'm in no hurry to get it. A local sports dealer that I know decided to sell his loose collection off last year, so I was able to pick up remaining last series that I needed from him for bargain prices. Back upon their original release he took them off the cards and displayed them in his basement, so these were minty mint.

Bet he wished he hadn't taken them off the card looking at the prices now.

His appearance at WrestlePalooza '98 is sad. Just weeks before he died. I fast forwarded to that part as soon as the Network VOD stuff started working properly so that I could finally see it. I swear there is even some residue of the "goods" that he purchased from New Jack that night (according to New Jack...who I won't doubt in this instance).

I've always liked these figures... this was a very good time for pro wrestling. I definitely plan on putting some of these in my collection.

I'd like to get the Macho Man LJN on card if possible even though I'm more of a WWF Hasbro early 90's collector

You were ahead of the curve, that's all. Dog worked bald for Watts in WCW during 1992. You were just ahead of the times!

The first two figures I got was as a Christmas present from an aunt/uncle. It was a tag team box of Sheik & Volkoff (yayyy, with sarcasm). But it still encouraged me to begin collecting, and I did, some 70+ of the figures. They're not exactly mint today, but most of them are still pretty decent. I leave them in a toy chest all to themselves for my kids, but my kids generally just play with the current WWE figures and the retro figures that Jakks releases. They have around 120 retro Jakks figures, so at least they have their era right... I love the old school!

If you had left the Sheik/Volkoff in the box, they would be a lot more valuable now. But, we never knew to keep them that way. Over the years I have collected them all loose and the variants I consider part of the line along with a few customs. I wish I could afford to collect them MOC, but that would run way more than I can swing or care to swing.
