Seeing these face one, following the discussion had here:

It looks more like these are a 1 off for the Young Bucks rather than it being associated with AEW in terms of a brand line.

So they’ve gone down the bend’ems route. Interesting choice. Personally, I hate the style of figure, but I’m very intrigued by the partnership.

Well I’d say they’ve gone down the LJN route rather then bend ems

Well everyday is a school day! I remember the 90's ones but had no idea about the LJN ones

I think they were officially known as bendies. So you had those, the big 8” posed figs and the thumb wrestlers.

The thumb ones are the only ones I found when I was a kid

We’re going to be discussing 93-95 on our new upcoming Youtube show in the near future. One of the topics will be based on short lived gimmicks and who should get a modern Mattel wrestling figure (Elite or Retro style, your choice). 

Our first 4-some to choose from (1 pick only) is Hakushi, Avatar, Kwang and Aldo Montoya.

It would be grand if you could vote here, but also feel free to comment on why they should get a figure in your opinion. We’ll discuss comments etc on the show.

Poll:

If anyone sees those fashion doll style WWE toys that they make of the women(preferably the ones with "real" hair) being sold cheap anywhere, can you bob a post in here please? My 6 year old daughter was bitten by the wrestling bug after watching this years Rumble, and she's wanting all the dolls now...

Anyone but Kwang. I can’t condone anything that would result in Savio Vega getting royalties #anyonebutkwang

There were a bunch of them in TK Maxx over Christmas. I’ll have a look when I’m next in and see if we still have any. They also had some Elites in recently, one of which was a Diesel and HBK double pack and I picked up a Scott Hall Elite for £9.

As for the others, got to be Hakushi as you could different variations of his tattoos and collectors would end up buying all of them

These luchadore style figures were revealed at the New York Toy Fair yesterday...I kind of want El Batmano.

They look as if they're heavily inspired by Guacamelee, a great little Metroidvania style Luchadore game.

It’s Hakushi all day, isn’t it? Especially if it came with that lampshade hat he wore on his entrance as an accessory.
