Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted March 13, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hello,. Would somebody be able to tell me where I can get a mint Classic Ultimate Warrior Wrestling buddy from. I want it for my baby nephew. Am I right in believing that they were re-released not that long ago? This is what I'm after.

No real luck. Toys R Us have some wrestler buddies. My local has Rock and Cena, I 'remember them announcing any classic ones though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladiesman345 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I had the lifesize cardboard cut out of that Hogan model. It was a promo for Revenge for the N64 and my local Blockbuster let me have it. I think it was chucked during a move in 2000 or thereabouts.

No real luck. That warrior one you posted a pic of is from 1990! Don't think wwe released any classic buddies in their rebirth. I think they showed off a Warrior one at toy fare but don't believe it was ever actually released. There is an Ultimate Warrior Bleacher Creature though which is really cool.

Jon-Carr_92 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have a Hollywood Hogan one. Forget what WCW called their ones. Got him from a car boot a while ago. Also got The Rock one from the current range who oddly has the World Heavyweight Championship Big Gold Belt which is strange considering whilst he did hold the WCW one twice, he didn't win that incarnation of the belt. And yeah, they've not done a classic range of the new ones which is surprising, There's a few they could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Bleacher Creature one. It may scare my nephew. The wrestling buddies in Toy R Us seem to be all Cena and Reigns ones. Not interested in those. I'd settle for a Big Boss Man original wrestling buddy.  Thanks for the info people. I'll keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 Zack Ryder's bought two recently uncovered hasbros that were lost in time. Green Macho and Mega Maniac Bruti. I think he had Greg Valentine, but flogged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 About time the green savage surfaced. It was part of a limited Christmas run in woolies with the ring. No fucker has seen it since. Be interesting to know what he paid for it and who's been hiding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted July 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) From what he said on Twitter it sounds like he's got the only one ever made, for promotional catalogue pics. I'd also love to know what it took to get it. That picture is pure nostalgia for me. That Hogan was my first ever Hasbro and I had the same ring too.

The general craic is that people who bought it, including my memories is that came with the orange savage, rather than the green one advertised. That ring too, minus the launch pad flat tops for Fucking hawk and the like. Anyway, as a collector, I'm really intrigued to know who had it prior to the mass collector/seller he got it from.

Kaz, is there anything else out there that I may not be aware of. These things seem to keep popping up. Had no clue about the Greg Valentine one that popped up a few years back either. And I only thought the Mega Maniac Brutus was a custom until today. Is there a Diesel out there somewhere? Is there a Tugboat figure still to drop? What about that singles Shawn Michaels with the different pose. Surely this cant be the end of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) It's crackers mate, with skepticism. The ones 'now found' are the ones that have been holy grail for a while. The problem is that there are some very creative customisers out there. There's a massive bunch of 'just uncovered' 2 ups, which are basically massive proto versions of hasbros popping up over the last couple of years, along with unpainted test shots. The only person from within to shed any light was a bloke called Jeremy, but loads of collectors called him out, saying he wasn't the same bloke who worked for Hasbro at the time etc etc, he disappeared, so all findings are now based on collectors finding them. Going back to what I said earlier, I'm intrigued to know where it's come from, even then, who's to say these legendary collectors aren't fleecing every fucker who's willing to believe. The obvious who could be out there is probably a test shot for diesel. And that's based on the company mannix knocking out a boot leg with a very similar head in their line of pound shop fodder. In this image, right to left you have obvious rips/head molds of razor, Adam bomb, Luger, then you have diesel and then a HBK with no shades. For me, those 2 are probs the next out of nowhere uncoverings. Â Edited July 6, 2017 by Kaz Hayashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2017 Even then, I'm skeptical as fuck about it. I honestly believe I could make that with the poxy resin I used to use for mine. Saying that, I don't know it's proper back story and unless someone from Hasbro at the time can clarify, I'm staying a million miles away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Holy crap! I actually had those knock off HBK and Diesel ones. I initially began with the Poundland wrestlers as they were all I could afford with pocket money with the occasional car boot bought ones now and then.
