Merzbow Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Ah the bootlegs with the He-Man style bodies! I don't think I ever owned any but you'd see them all over the place. Was this the bearded guy? Edited November 2, 2019 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Proper PowerSlam-style "taken by a bloke in the crowd" photo on the packaging there as well! I loved any bootleg wrestlers back then*, and they were always about. I'd go to to Rhyl for a week, throwing coin after coin into WrestleFest. My mom would spend every waking hour and possibly hundreds of pounds on prize bingo, and all she'd have to show for it was a set of those figures. *For about ten seconds. Once I got home, back to my WWF roster, these shitehawks would get thrown in a tub and left, possibly with their belts being used as the Intercontinental or tag titles.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted November 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2019 There were also so many snides of snides. The real remco/sungold figures were legit/licensed MOTU style figs. Then you got loads of snides, in similar size to He-Man etc. Then you also got smaller mini knock offs of them. I remember getting a box of 8 of them for a quid in a sea side shop in Majorca, around 94’ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, as they’re Super 7 figures, they’re probs going to be approx £50 a piece based on their other lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Mo though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGIT Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Had nearly every wrestler back in the day. But no Mabel or Viscera. Did Viscera have a figure in 99/00 or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can't have been many Mabels before? Has there ever been Men on a Mission figures? I don’t think there ever has been a Men on a Mission figure. Assuming Men on a Mission ended when Mabel and Mo turned on Oscar? Jakks and Mattel have both only done King Mabel figures. The Bend Em figures from the nineties had a pre-King version of Mabel, but I think it was from when he had turned evil (he had black hair anyway, and I remember him having the blonde hair as a goodie).
