Maybe one of these days I'll go in and see if they have any of the loose ones you need.

Not sure who it was, or if it was even an official WWF figure, as I either just found it one day or maybe traded a friend something for it. Was missing most of the paint, obviously being an "outdoor toy" for most of its life. But yeah, I thought it was super cool when I got it, and I was never really into wrestling apart from watching the mid 80s cartoon a little. Good times.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599687647453108728.post-23226295117419903422017-05-22T00:47:10.757-05:002017-05-22T00:47:10.757-05:00I was a manager at Toys R Us for over a decade and...I was a manager at Toys R Us for over a decade and when I started in 1993 we had quite a few cases of these things. They were on the discount aisle (7C, I hated that aisle) and the cards always got torn up.

Maybe one of these days I'll go out and grab a Ricky Steamboat for the collection. Best of luck with your collection. I'll keep my eyes peeled for these at my local flea markets now that I know you're interested.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599687647453108728.post-75780135642108792082017-05-21T18:48:56.484-05:002017-05-21T18:48:56.484-05:00I only had a used Hulk Hogan, or, as my dad called...I only had a used Hulk Hogan, or, as my dad called him, Hunk Hinkey.

Since I had such limited numbers, I became a master of morphing these guys into others. I had a spare Hogan that became The Ultimate Warrior and my Mr. Wonderful often doubled as Lex Luger.
