I'm enjoying looking for and finding knockoff wrestlers from the 80's and 90's at the mo.
In fact any action figure with those classic Masters of the Universe big thighs and bent knees wherever possible or if not, obvious wrestler knockoffness.
With a little patience at boot sales the bendy fellas give themselves up. Its great fun tracking them down and more often than not there are always one or two at a sale and its reassuring to come home with a result.
Here's a bundle I've recruited this year.
Back row LtoR: Tall Redpants and Boley wrestler,
Middle row LtoR: American gladiator, unknown bended soldier, headless Hulk Hogan, soft rubber Galaxy Beast Warrior
Front Row: Lion-O Thundercats miniature
Have you got any He-squatters or wrestling cheapos readers?
I'm a big fan of both Sungold's Galaxy Warriors and Sewco's Galaxy Fighters. They come up loose once in a while. Funky bunch!
ReplyDeleteha ha! I love the Frazetta knockoffed logo Arto on the header but I've never seen it in the flesh! Can't wait for next Wednesday's car boot to look for more loose bendy wrestlers!
DeleteHave you any idea who the pink headed rubber warrior is Arto bottom right?
DeleteNo idea Woodsy, but reminds me of Quark in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
