• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And then we'll get into the line how it started
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and of course the figures.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I've talked about this a couple of times on the show.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty positive ninety percent sure that, like I discovered
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: ww period because of these figures going to Toys r
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: US seeing on the shelves. There's this weird narrative and
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: maybe it is true, not in New York where I
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: grew up, like that these were hard to come by
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: because I remember going to Toys r US singles two
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: packs always there.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And me going like, what who are these guys? What's this?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Blah blah?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: And then I find ww on Saturday mornings and Saturday nights,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: and you know, and then eventually, you know, we'll talk
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: about later in the show, like there's a lot of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: crossover here, like how many guys have gloobs that also
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: have Hasbro's you know what I mean? You could kind
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: of when they jumped to WWF or vice versa, you
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: could beat them to market. You know, Rick Flair comes,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: you already got a globe ready to go into your
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: your Hasbro fig fed. So that was like the real
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: exciting aspect of these that they were all in scale
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: with your you know, already flourishing w.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: F Hasbro collection.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: So it was literally the way I discovered that there
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: was a secondary promotion in America that was on television
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: and had product like this.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So that's how I discovered it all. I was so young.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what came first, the figures of me
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: seeing them on TV. But I had them all, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like you said, Brian, I remember them being plentiful in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the stores. Pillman was hard to find for me, Brian,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Pillman was hard to find for me, But I eventually
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: got them and I had them all.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So you're getting these like in nineteen ninety two.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had these as a kid.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, without a doubt. I have vivid memories of
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: them being on the shelves, especially at Toys r US,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: especially the two packs. And I want to say every
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: the ones that I obtained, and I had the original,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: you know, American twelve, and I think I got them
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: all via two packs.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Really can't. Yeah, maybe Sting and Luga were like separate,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but see, I don't even remember the two packs. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: remember getting mine, at least seeing them at Kitty City.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I don't recall when I got them or where I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but I got them all, like I said, And you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I was a big WCW fan. Of course w WF
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: was my number one, but I loved it was something
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: different and I loved like I remember It's It's War
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Games ninety one where Sid and he ate power bombs
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Brian Pillman and he gets caught on the top of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the cage, Like I remember stuff like that, right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And you were watching the same thing, Brian, or you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: don't know, you just had the.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, I was very It's funny because I grew
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: up really appreciating Brian Pillman became one of my favorit wrestlers.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: But when I was five and discover the guy, the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: simplicity of that we had the same name, Brian was
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: like flying Brian, that's so cool. I was like, he
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: was my favorite, and that was like, in my memory,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the first one I got, So I don't remember having
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: trouble finding him because he was the one I wanted
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the most and I got him like from jump in
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: my mind.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: At least, my number one was Sting. I even had
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Sting come to my birthday party. Mark and you both
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the picture if you're looking it might not look like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Sting because that's my dad's friend, Kenny Theston from the gym,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and he got a baby powder in his hair.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: You were then to look a look at you like
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: crushing that buddy with that that that's which is not
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: a glue product.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But look at those cars that you could tell that's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: early nineties. Oh my god, god, oh my god.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the wheels.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Quote unquote, Sting came to my heart. He fooled me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He fooled me. I believe it was thinking.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: But Kenny all kidding aside, that is a testament to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: like that there was popularity. Oh yeah, things that you
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: would have a Sting impersonator come to your fifth or
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: sixth birthday party like that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, w W is a big deal.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I've heard this story before, and when Broski sent me
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: this text, I literally in my head wasn't even thinking.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I thought of myself, Oh yes, Brosky met Sting when
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: he was little. I was. I just briefly looked at it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Well, that that guy actually Kenny Theston. He's done a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: lot of w CW work as Sting. If you look
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: at some w c as in the early nineties, it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Kenny east A dressed his sting. Oh my god, we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: can put that in the on social media, you'll see it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so he fooled the world and he pulled me.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Well, you know everybody knows that I'm a big Rick
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Flair collector.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Mark were you You were actively collecting these in college?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Well a couple of years ago, I think during the pandemic.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I got my hands on on this and.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I bought that for you as a gift to Toyhio.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: You a cheap bastard, Yes, he did.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I knew that. I knew that you got me one
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: of these because I have the UK one and I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: just wasn't sure which one you got me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: No, I want to say, I wouldn't shell out the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: cash as Yeah, we can.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Talk about that later.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: It wasn't until I had this in my hands and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I was staring at this picture of Rick Flair and
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I realized that's how I first saw Rick Flair in
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: a toy asle. What like in a toy asle, just
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: who is this guy? Who is this older guy on
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: these toys? Know, I didn't know what WCWS was until
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: ninety five, probably, so I didn't see any of that stuff.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't even really know it existed, so maybe it
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: was earlier. It must have been earlier because I was
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: watching Rick Flair in the WWF, But the first time
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I saw Ric Flair was in a toy aisle on
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: a Globe Action figure set, So that's the first time
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I was introduced. Now, as far as the Glube line goes,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't know it existed until me and Steve Negron
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: we're playing our fig feds and it was it was
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: later on. It was probably ninety five when we started.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So we would see these in hobby shops. There was
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a in the Holy Oak Mall. There was a small
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: collectible store and in the glass case they would occasionally
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: have a Hasbro like that's where we got our Dusty Roads.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: It was five dollars loose.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I would say, Lucy right, loose.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Gloops, And I remember seeing the loose Rick Flair and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: arn Anderson and I was, you know, really interested in
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: wrestling ninety five ninety six or whatever and being like,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: holy shit, bro, we can get these and use these
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: in our fig fit. So that was the first time
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I was sort of like really paying attention to this
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: as a line. And then Obviously, the Internet existed a
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: little bit, so you could you could do some research
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on what existed. But I didn't even know about the
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: UK stuff until we started doing this podcast.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. I might have been like in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the WWE when I learned of that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Right, yea.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But a little history lesson on the WCW figures from Galub. So.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Glub was a company, if you watch toys that made
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: us Jewish lightning. Robbie Kanoff he was a big wrestling fan,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, he convinced Glob to go after you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the the WWF at the time because Tube had figures,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to call them bootlegs, but cheap stuff
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that other companies were also making. Eventually they got the Smurfs,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the A team. They thought, Okay, we need to be big,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we need to be mainstream, we need WWF. They went
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to Vince McMahon, who already had an offer from Remco. Okay,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: so then Galube beats that offer, but in comes LJN
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and blows them ball out of.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: The waterhould have been ninety four, by the way, eighty four.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: But they basically stooged themselves to a universal that was
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: acquiring LJN and they like blew them out of the
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: water with the offer and that was it. But yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Robbie came off spearhead at all because he was such
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: a wrestling fan, and that goes on throughout the years,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: right because he you know, launches Simpsons toymakers and gets
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: w C again and.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Then eventually ECW you know, so then you know, once WWF,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you know, LJN lose the license, it goes to goes
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to Hasbro. WCW is a thing now and Glube's like, okay,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: let's go after these guys. And they do, they quickly do.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And that's why that's been said. Why they're you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the PBC material, no articulation, just because they signed the deal.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: They had to get them a.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Market quick, which is a kind of animal and I
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: guess not at the time, not you know, desirable, but
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: like we were kind of alluding to when we start
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: to show that they're the sculpting is exceptional on these
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: They're like little works of art. And I think maybe
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: as a kid, you probably weren't appreciating. I think you
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: were probably appreciating the scale, you know, intertwining with your
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Hasbro stuff, but I think as an adult collector you
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: look back at these and are like, oh my god,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: some of these are like wonderful, like really really well done.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: As a kid, it didn't really bother me to be
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: it did Yeah, right, I guess yeah, because I think
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: they were still in dynamic enough poses where you could
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: use your imagination and it's not like like the hasbros
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: can move it the waste and they're a little bit
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: but that's it, you know, like Mattel Ultimate Style with
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: you know, endless options.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you're barely getting by as it is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: And I think we're coming right off of l j
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: NZ that had no articulation too, so it wasn't so
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: out of the realm that these things, you know, don't move.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Just like the fact that Flair has the hand that
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you could you could chop with, like even though it's
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: not in the same direction or whatever, you.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Could Definitely we'll talk about all the moves we do
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: with the figures and what poses you know, we use
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: as moves and stuff like that when we get into
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the figures. But the first sign of these glue figures
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: were at the nineteen ninety one New York Toy Fair.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Look at the Steiner brothers, Rick and Scott. Look at
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Scottie cut off shirt hardcore Japan.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: You'd see the pictures, I mean the figs and even
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the big guys hang hanging up in the back there.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, back there in the box, I can see, yep.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I like that. They showed up toy Fair with the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: straps the United States Tax Team Championship's pretty cool. If
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you see major at toy Fair this year dressed up
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in gear with some straps. We may have took it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: from uh this photo shoot right here there you go,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But there are the Steiners right there, Rick and Scott
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: classic tag team. There they are holding up the figures,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: looking proud, looking hungover. Look at he had a he
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: was partying Tye Square that had pour. Wow.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: What is that blow up doll of sting there in
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the back?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what is that creepy thing? I don't know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: but I want it? I want it? Is that just building? Yeah?
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Is that closer than we think it?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Is?
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: That a legitimate blow up doll?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know why? Why is it not the real sting?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Why is that not on the table? Guys? Okay, uh,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: he wasn't alone because Lex Luger Total package was also
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Now this is a true pro in the.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Truggles oiled oiled up in trunks. Yes, walking around civilian
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: business people at toy fair.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What you need to understand if you've never been
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to a toy fair, it is not a comic con.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: No, it an't, especially not in nineteen ninety one.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there aren't people walking around in costumes at all.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It literally is like businessmen, especially back then, in suits,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: making deals.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Like lubing the deals.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Like hey, you know, we'd like to carry ten thousand
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: of these figures in our stores across the country. That
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: kind of shit, and then Luger walks in oiled up.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: It's just so insane to think about rules.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Lex Luger, the tallt all package to me,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Luger sting flair like that was WCW at this era.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And you know, I I believe I started watching WCW
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: when it is WCW because there's a weird like transition
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: NWA ANDWCW. Then it's like just WCW memories of seeing that. Yeah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: neither do I, but you'll see later like the original
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: figures do have the NWA on the package. Speaking of figures,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: do you want to start getting into him. Whoooooo, the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: nature Boy Rick Flair. There he is if you look
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: at the bottom right, Superstars of the NWAC. It was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: so confusing. WCWNWA is like Jesus Christ, just drop one
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and eventually it did well.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: It reads WCW presents the Superstars of the NWA.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: And it's been a dream of mine to have a
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: smart Mark Sterling figure that says a real Killer with
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: the Ladies on the packaging. Yeah, let's talk about the packaging.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: It's nice. Everyone has unique packaging. Real Killer with the Ladies.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Got Rick Flair, the the picture of Flair, the big picture,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and then the picture of him in action. Different hairstyles, Yeah,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. And then even the figure has the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: longer hair. Yes, so let's let's talk about the nature boy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Huh well yeah, so this this would be what like
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: you were saying, this is the first series, first series, Yeah,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: first series in nineteen ninety one. This is this is
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: released and you know obviously the main event they're champion
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Rick Flair. And I do have the the Minton Card
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: version of this.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Now, guys, you have the NWA version or the WCW version.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: WW So I have my collection here of autographed series
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: one globes that I'll be showing off throughout the show.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Whoo Flair Baby Blue.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: That's nine there, sixteen time, and I purposely went with
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: the WCW versions of all of them because I don't
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: like I like you said, I don't even have like
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: memories of the NWA WW kind of crossover or transition.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look, let's talk about the back of a little
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: clipping save all collect all twelve.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I love the roster on the back.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Great lotteries, like the back of the carding always had
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: all twelve, So I don't I'm sure these were ship
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: the stores and assortments, but I just.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Remember them all me too, being what they were. Let's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: also mention, guys that they all come with a generic
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: w c W championship, which is cool. You can't have
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: too many titles because you think the Hasbros. They had
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: one title that came with the ring. If you got
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the ring right, you know these This is a lot
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of added value in terms we've learned later on. I mean,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I see this Bruskie right now. When you
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: display your loose gloub collection, do you have belts on
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: every guy on all series one. Yes, wow, yes, you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: don't know. Really, I have a big baggie of all
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the belt I have all I have all.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: The belts, but I don't keep them in a bag,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: so you're getting the belts later.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I just opened all these on within the last year, right,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I got. I got the whole set of whatever these
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: figures that I have. So I've never taken this belt off,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: You might mess up the paint exactly. Yeah, I'm just
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: my time. I've never had that issue.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: It is never come off. I have all these figures,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: they're all wearing the belts. They're mint as hell. I'm
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: not even I'm not even gonna touch it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I mean just just take a look at Mark at
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the back of your flare, like the detail like he's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: even got like I don't know, is that like some
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: uh some tape a sock. What's going on? It's only
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on one leg though.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only maybe he had to tape up his
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: calf like the day that he took those pictures.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. It's the reference shots, right, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: use this flare. I thought it was perfect. And if
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you go and watch the commercial, he does the nice
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: knee drop perfectly. I have visited He's shop knee drop.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, whoa, Yeah, it's a low chot, maybe like
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a ball tap, but you can still do it. You
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: still do it your imagination. But I have a vivid
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: memory because, like you said, Brian, when guys jump ship
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: like Flair, you got him already for your faith. You
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: don't have to wait for the has Bro. He did
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a nice knee drop from the top on Macho Man.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: It was a little stiff. His head broke off. He
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: decapitated the macho man. Did you like spike it?
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Bro?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, what six years old, I'm playing pretty hard?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, guard whoo. When this Flair replaced the Hasbro Flair
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: when we got it later.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Because your your timeline is all my timeline.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Is messed up. So we we have the Rick Flair
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: has Bro, which is.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Flair comes in and wins your rumble. Bro. When he's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: holding up the tag team title and they're blurt it out,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, He's the real world Ship. Seriously,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: imagine he can come into your fig fed with this
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: title and say he's the real World's Champion. It's like unbelievable,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Manager Bro, I have goosebumps thinking about my childhood right now.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: How I'm also not regretting my childhood, but I could
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: have been a little more serious my playing. I was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: only five or six. If I was you know, if
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I was older, I can I got a little more creative,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, of course, but use the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: insider terms in his promost.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Twenty one years in the professional wrestling business. Thinking about this,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: try to, you know, pick a part of five year
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: old's play. But holding us in my hand right now,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I still think it holds up and it's beautiful.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Like I think if they made this today acceptable figure,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of course, it would be like a statue, you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be an elite figure and ultimately be some
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: sort of statue type thing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: It would be passable and people, we know there are
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: several companies attempting the Globe style as.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: You speak, Yes, So so you want to get to there.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It is right there, the nature boywork player there and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you see, I.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Feel like we should talk about these reference shots that
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: before we go any further, because it's going to just
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: keep coming up.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: So there's been some head scratchy things about these figures
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and maybe like the gear choices or the appearance of
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: certain things. And then a couple of years ago we
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: finally surface some reference shots of what the talent took.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: So you always have to take a step back from
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: the super toy fan, you know, eyes and realize that,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: you know, sometimes these people it's just a job. So
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: they're just getting reference shots, and they don't know everything
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: about Rick Flair. They don't know that he's, you know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: the Superstar World Champion, right They're just taking the photo
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: they're seeing and turning it into you know, a four
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: and a half inch PVC figure.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: That's their job, right right. So and then on the.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Flip side, sometimes these wrestlers are told they don't know
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: everything about the toy business. They're told to take these
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: photos and they just kind of, you know, do it lacksadaisical.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You'll see it a little bit. I don't want to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: get too far ahead of herselves, but you'll see it
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a bit.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Right well, And that's the other thing. I agree with
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: you in that sense. But then I also think that
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: people in WCW get the samples and nobody even gives
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: a shit.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I kind of have want to blame Rob.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: He came off if he's like the in between and
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: the super fan, why was he like, why is doom
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: and sweatpants?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I think they didn't have time. We gotta if we
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: gotta get these out right, That's what I think, And
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we will never know for sure, but Rick Flair, But.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Long story short, that's probably why one sock is showing. Yeah, right,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: because whoever referenced it was like, oh, this must be
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: what he does every time when socc is showing in
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: the back of his nepad.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Gotta put that there.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think everyone in does w CW goes yep,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: looks good.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do know. They were pressed for time, so
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: even if there was major concerns, you know, what are
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: they going to do? And the original prototype of Flair
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: was slightly different paint decko a different blue, yellow laces
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and also look at that more detailed belt looks way better,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: way more detailed. WCW title. I like the gear we
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: have now. To me, it's like the iconic Rick Flair
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of that blue, that baby blue, and I do wish
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that was the title. Wet damn.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only great thing about it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's go to the next figure
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in the line. The enforcer. Double A. Arn Anderson. He
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: wrestles by his own rules. Yes he does ask you something.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: What we were doing? All right? Double A arn Anderson
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite figures guys to this day. When
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I go to my parents' house in New York and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I take a shower, they're in like the shower.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Still.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: These were perfect bathtub shower figures to play with because
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: they the joints can't rot, you know what I'm saying.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: To watch over him as he's butt naked in the shower.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Perfect post for a nice spinebuster. Oh yeah, perfect post
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: for a nice spine buster. Double A. Nay. Just got
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: this one autographed? Wow three days ago?
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, I wish.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looks great, really nice piece. He's got the white
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: on the front, the the red on the back. But
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the little controversy. Oh no, over the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: over Double A. R. And Anderson. If you're looking right
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: here on my screen, he's got a hell of a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: bald spot right which she They did him dirty. Anyone wondering,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you know, you could see ahead of time. If you're
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a min on card purchaser, you could see that there.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, that is a crazy they did him dirty in
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the sense that, like, you know, was he balding? Then, yes,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: that bald.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It is hard to show it in figure form. It's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: either you do it or you don't, right, And apparently
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: aren't you got a little upset by this, That's what
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the rumor mill is telling us. And they corrected it
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and painted it in.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: And so funny because it's so it's so painted in
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: you could just see the where it's smooth.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I have this like we've never you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: as well as Matt and I. I've known Arn for
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: many years now. We've never directly asked them about it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: But I have this vivid memory that I will never forget.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And maybe Matt.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Remembers when the Jesse and Festut Tupac came out, Oh
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah by Jackson two thousand and eight. It came to
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: ring Psycollectibles first, so same as today, I'm very close.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I grabbed it as soon as possible. I brought it
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: to TV to bring to those guys, because you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: they're two of my best buddies, you know. And then
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I was proud of them and I wanted them to be,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: you know, excited about their figure and we're showing them
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: and Gallows is getting kind of a laugh at like
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: the bald Spot, which in two thousand and eight. I
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: don't know how you had to make fests with the
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: bald spot. I don't see. There really wasn't a way
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: around that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: It actually gave him too much hair.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, But this is in the locker room as
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I hand this stuff to them, and Arns like overhearing us,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: and I'm not realizing.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: He goes fastest. They fucked your head all up.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: They got me too, So like he definitely has knowledge
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: of this, you know, as you know the old school
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: globe and what happened to him.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: So and that was years later. So I mean, look
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: at this perfect spybuster right here, perfect spybuster.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I remember, you could do the bulldog with it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: You do a nice pile driver, could pile driver positions
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: just like the real uh Arn. You know he was
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a carpenter. You know you can throw one duck ddt.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: You know you could all throw one duck DDT.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: So this is this is actually, you know, personally one
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: of my favorite wrestling figures of all time. When I
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: sold every wrestling figure I had, which was just like
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: globs and has Bros, I kept this. This was the
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: only thing. And I had my desk at work for
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: years just this played with arn Anderson, not this one.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: This is this is the new one. But I have
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: that that played with one somewhere in storage. But this
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: is one of my favorite figures of all time. And
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: it was so cool to sort of grow up and
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: then work with arn Anderson. And he whenever he saw me,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: he always said counselor it's I appreciate it because even
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: in the back he put me over as a lawyer.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So Arn Anderson, you know, he's kind of changed my career.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: At one point he told me that I need to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: work a little more snug because I was too pretty.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: So a lot of the boys right now they get
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: upset if I hit him a little too hards. He
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: don't blame me all these stiff shots. Sprosky has been
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: all the potatoes he's handed out over the years.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: He's a man.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: He absolutely is the next figure in the line. There
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: we Go, Baby, There we Go, And Brian, you are
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: not the only one who has one signed. I do
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: as well. I forgot that you actually were big, but
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: look him up. I have the og n w A.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Mine is w c W blue paint pen out of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Baby Blue.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Really actually looks really freaking nice. Stuns opponents with super
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: strength and here's the clip and save on the back
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: his motto, we're having fun now.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I gotta say, you know, obviously staying Hall of Fame
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: pro wrestler, this Hall of Fame wrestling figure. It's like
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: it's one of those things like if even if a
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: kid didn't collect wrestling figures, they had this figure. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: feel like, yeah, like a Hogan l j N. Like
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like you you go to
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: a kid's house in the ninth early nineties, it's like
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: maybe they don't have a collection of wrestling figures, but
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: if they have one, it's this stinger.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, for sure, I have mine with a wrestling
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: figure workshop title. These are not official. These are basically
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you know, it does look nice though it looks but
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: look at the rat tail there. He can do the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: gorilla press, he can do a big stinger splash.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: The stinger splashes epic.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Look at the stinger of boots right there. I also,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure which one to collect, I have
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the WCW one sided as well, Like god, it's crazy yeah,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I'm a psycho. I don't know which one to get in.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: The new room. You gotta you gotta display that.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna display one of them or
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: maybe both. But man, it's just awesome to hand take
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: paped up iconic figure. I believe this is in the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Major Restic Podcast Hall of Fame. It's like first Ballace,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: first year guy. Yeah. Yeah, unbelievable figure, timeless figure. It's
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: it's fucking sting bro like this is the Hogan Yeah,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: stinger right there. Unbelievable. Now this work gets a little
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: interesting because apparently there were other repaints of sing but
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I don't uh necessarily have First, let's see this prototype,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: which I don't know if it's a prototype or just
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: like a sample like white tights, blue booth. It looks
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: like it to me, that looks like more like a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: sample unfinished, but we don't know pants he's yeah, like.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Pa looks more like your your thesin guy or whatever.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: It's the same. You know what Actually I would like
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to do I'm thinking about now, I'm really gonna commission
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: this someone to paint a group sting like the Kent
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Thesa for my birthday. Party. Is there a good is
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: there a good customizer out there? Someone could do that
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: with these.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: But these I don't get those whatever gym pants he
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: was wearing.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: No, there's a nice bro I you wear those in
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: backyard wrestling years later. They're like eighties gym pants, you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: like tights.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they would sell those like just a brother around
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: the gym. That's yeah, yeah, look at the stick.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: But holy cow. So there were some some repaints that
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I personally don't remember at all in the United I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: remember them coming later in UK, but apparently they was
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: released in the US. I personally don't remember these ever.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Saw them, childhood memories of anyone having these, seeing them whatsoever.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, I believe they came though I have I
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: mean I have them both, but oh yeah, but I
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: believe they were available in the US.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I do believe that. Yeah, I'm not quite sure. Just
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and it makes sense because Sting was so toy yet
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: he wasn't like Hogan who just had the red and yellow, right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of looks and this would be
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a you know, an easy way to get some money
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: back on the mold. Just repaint it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: And I mean the guys in charge years later Samsu
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: toymakers did the same thing. So yes, it's obvious. So
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: which one is your favorite? I think I think the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Blues thing is my favorite one. Even though cool, it's
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: just so timeless.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Like Brian said, just like the iconic part of that figure,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: not just being the icon in wrestling, but being an
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: icon in figures. Yes, makes that one the number one.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Total Package Lex Luger,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a total wrestling machine. That iconic picture of him giving
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the gorilla press the flare on the packaging. Wow, what
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a great, great figure, the Total Package Lex Luger.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: This is actually one I got. I just re goot
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: this done. And this is one where I don't love
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: the pose. What I loved playing with this when I
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: was a kid.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I wish he was doing a double bye to do
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: like a torture I rack or the forearm when he
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: jumps the WWE.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: I guess there's at this time that's not like the
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: moves he did, right, but he does like a grilla press.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well this is great for a double DDT. Yeah,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty sweet. Though a pile driver he
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: can do. He it looks like he's flexing like in
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: like the MA musculator.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: The back literally says favorite holds, human torture, rack, backbreaker,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: power slam. He can't really do the back I guess
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: he could do the backbreaker and the power slam. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: would make that up. I'd just put the guy on
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: his shoulder, you know. Oh you think that kind of
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: power slam? Okay, I'm a daby boy.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The likeness is good, No, so good. I just
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: think he's maybe not jacked enough, but he is kind
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of lean during this EPP possibly. Yeah, look at that
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: young photo of the total package.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: But again, uh, someone that you know eventually made his
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: way to w WF in the early nineties and you
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: already got him. That's like super exciting, you know, ready
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: to switch.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Him on over? I mean, yeah, so you Luger by months, right,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: so you can have these dream matches Sting vers Hogan
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: or if you want to play by the rules and
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: only use who's on the roster, you can wait until
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Sting you know, noll S thing never comes. You can
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: wait for Flair to jump ship. You can have Luger,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: but you have to have Luger go to the WBF
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: first and then he comes in.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: You know, was six I was going to debut the Luger,
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: but then I decided, now he should have a WBF
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: run before.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: You gotta get you gotta get guys like Arnold, you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: do WBF. You know, get some job a he man.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Who else can you use like a stallone Rambo have
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the WBF and then he comes He gets to the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: car accident or motorcycle accident, and then he comes over.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: You know, sounds like Bob Cardona's fed. You put him
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: on that that terminator or motorcycle gets an accident a
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: couple of months off, and then he comes to WSRO.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some figure photography you think of Joe
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: grad will be like Sting versus Luger, WCW. But then
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: he goes to WBF and he's there with arm and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: he man. But then he gets in that T two motorcycle.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: G it's an accident and then comes in put in
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: your pocket for But again there's also a prototype shown,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: different deco, way better belt of course, just a different
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: shade of blue, uh, with some black laces. I do
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate the black laces. But the figure we have now
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is just so iconic to me, right, and I'm sure
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: lex has worn white with white lace.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Obviously Sting is the most timeless. I think Luga would
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: be like the number two one in this whole line,
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: like I go, I go Flare, I go flair number two,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I'm going.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Lug to all right. Well, next up is one half
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: of the Steiner Brothers, the dog Faced Gremlin. Rick Steiner
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: again has that NWA packaging on the original six. Look
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: at that dog faced the pit Bull of w c
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: W right there.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: I loved this figure when I was a kid. It
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: was very fun to play with. I think this is great.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: He's down in that wrestling position right there. He's got
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: the head gear that to me, he's at that mumchi again.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: These are these tech TEWO thousands from the Wrestling figure
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: workshops are not official, but I have him on there.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Look at that he's got a tattoo. Look at that
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: tat baby, which is crazy for the time. Right. Yeah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it was really only Earthquake. Shango and Sean have tats
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the whole run bam bam bam. Yeah. I thought it
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: was great, perfect bulldog maneuver. You can hit the bulldog. Yep.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: There he is purple paint pen on this bad boy.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: His face is so suplex that pose pretty pretty perfect.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really awesome.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: You know, he's an amateur wrestler. He's in that awesome
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: amateur wrestling pose. That's makes this figure so timeless.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Man, and they got those jackets on. Makes me think
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that those Motel ultimates could be WCW as well. I
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: tell you that, Yeah, Dad, literally both, they're both to
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: definitely both. Yeah, great figure, great likeness in my opinion.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: He's got the fingers taped up, he's got the boots,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I dig it.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do appreciate Rick getting in his full gear
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: for the reference shots and consider with the right.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I like that he's get the head gear strapped up. Right,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: it's a great likeness of the dog face Gremlin. Can't
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: talk about Rick Steiner without talking about Oh look at that.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this prototype first with way more deco
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and that's much nice. And that's the if we get
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: back to me, that's the picture on the packaging there.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Ym m right, Yeah, so there's Rick Steiner slightly more deco.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with what we got, but sure that one
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: is definitely more toy. So now let's talk about his brother,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Scott Steiner pre big pop up pump. There he is
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Scott Steiner looking jack great like generic pose can do
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it all super all.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Fair figures play with when I was a kid, Yeah,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: me too, And I like would give Scott such a
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: push way before the big pump pump run me too,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: because I just thought he was awesome.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: A big Sonner line, no sinner eyes, but big Signer
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: line right there from.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Scott's side, like I said, like the arm is up
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: and you can really do hold that vertical suplex or
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: whatever kind of crazy suplex he was gonna do. And
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: then later on when I learned about the Steiner screwdriver,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: which is the craziest.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, guys, I just had a crazy epiphany. Bro
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Steiner in sharpie. Bro, that's no, it's a it's a
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: dark blue paint. Look at that. Okay, let's say a
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: sharpie to me.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: No, come on, brother, what's your epiphany?
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Pal, I'm reading the back of this packaging. It's his
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: favorite holds Frankensteiner s Diiner line. You're ready for this
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: unless I'm an idiot. Tilt the world, suplex, Tilt the world.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I thought it was tilt the world, isn't it? I
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: think it Tilt the World. I think maybe it started
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: as tilt the World, and now we call it tilt
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: the World. Tilt the World is way uh way better.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: It makes a lot more sense. I mean, I'm thinking
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: about what's tilt the world, Tilt the world, Tilt the world.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe this is the orches of what it was really called,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: and we've kind of just brothered it over the years.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Wow, Tilt the World. Wow, Tilt the World.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: And you could also see here in that top that
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: this is what it was really single. It's really supposed
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: to have that.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: We had that uh, we have that prototype right here.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Check them out there. It is actually this is whoa
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that's different than this even because that stripes and this
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: is like a cheeter leopard or something. Wow, this is
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the story ye two brothers, Rick and it Scott Tilt
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the World again.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: So I just looked it up. Tilted whorl is a ride,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: a specific ride, so it is tilted World then, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: and it's like a flippy ride.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: So so maybe ravishing Robert got the copy wrong huh
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: on this. That's also it wrote Gloup Packaging in nineteen ninety.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: But Tilt the worlds were built and manufactured all over
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: the country. Started in nineteen twenty six. Tilt the whorl,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Tilt the world?
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: So I think it is I think this is wrong.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Then what do you think the world?
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: What the hell is tilt the world?
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you're tilting his world. The world is off, yeah,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: off tilt. Let's talk about the belts for a second. Steer.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: The belts were originally supposed to be almost like Mattel style,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: like kind of like what's what's the terminology?
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: The way that always looks like we made this? But yeah, yeah,
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: I like the belts way better this way. Even though
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: they're not more accurate. It's just easier to keep them on.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Even Mattel to these days, to this day, it's impossible
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: to shop those babies up.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: The butt. But we talk about guys, jump a ship.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: You bring the Steiners over your Hazmo fick red. I
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: also use this Scott Steiner as ConA crush. ConA crush
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: comes over, you know, because with my imagination I would
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: use guys as different people. Why didn't you just use
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: crushes crush? Well, until I got ConA crush demolition crush,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I can't use demolition.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: You can't not the same like that same man with
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: the same name. Actually, yeah, that militia crush right.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: But great, great Scottie Steiner, I dig it. So so
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: there's the first assortment right there. Again. I remember them
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: all coming out at once, but these six certainly the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: only six that had the NWA version. It's Rick Flair,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Double a R and Anderson Sting total package LIKEX Luger
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and the Steiner brothers. Let's get to so I'm.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Thinking like this probably was the assortment because these are
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: like the sixth most common too. Yes, so this was
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: probably the like the anchor case, you know that.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I just said, the only ones that
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: have the NW packaging. So they were definitely released twice.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Also another smoking gun of evidence. Yes, all right, well
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: let's go to the rest of the six. First up,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: we have Barry Wyndham. Yeah, only living member of the
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Globe mino cards that I don't have autographed, decent likeness.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I think I love this figure too nice. Actually got
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: these nice cowboy boots again somebody, I mean I used
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: him in my other think fat because he was in
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: WWF Kina around this time. No, when the window maker
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: runs like he leaves to do, are you talking about
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: or stalker, no, no widow maker, right, So like I could,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I could justify him coming in because he was already there, right,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I mean even like aren't like you think about it,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: there's so much crossover. Arm and Barry were just there
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and now they're not. You know, great post nice in his.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Blood is a great post that that's perfect for the
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: swing for the line and duck.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: So it's weird because we I mean, we talked about
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: it that these were rushed to market, but these poses
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: are like perice in a lot of ways, right, A
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: lot of playability for something that doesn't move.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Right in the same way. L j N's were all
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: pretty good at least el Jan's moved. These didn't. But
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I still, man, look, think about the punch you could
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: do with this in the corner.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: The big lariot and has some figures, you know, Rick
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Rude style, where like the opposite thought was put into
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: them where it's like you can't do a thing with
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: these things. Not the most toyatic in the plain black,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: but the cowboy boots are nice. Nice detail on the
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: cowboy boots. Check that out. I just weirdly liked this
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: figure when I was a kid though for some reason,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I did too. The prototype has way
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: more detail on the boots, but I'm fine with what
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: we got.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I think actually, look at that, it looks way more
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: like Barry with the correct hair color. Like Barry was blonde.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: But that looks the way the paint is done on
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: that prototype looks better to me. Yeah, but then this
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: ponytail is like more blonde.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: The highlights, yeah, there are there are highlights if you
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: can tell here. So they did it. They were doing
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: highlights in nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: We should also acknowledge that Barry, Rick, Arn and Sid
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: are the four horsemen when these drop, which is a
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: big deal.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Which is a huge deal, right, Like you're getting some
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: top top heels here, but you're getting a full faction
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the way you know it's supposed to be, which is
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: a pretty cool thing. Yeah, So I like that figure.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Great figure. Next up, speaking of four horsemen, Sid Vicious, unbelievable,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: a six ' nine mountain of muscle. This figure feeler
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of the world. I will say this.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: It always bothered me, even when I was like five
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: or six, that his quads and his upper body are
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: not the same color.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, can you tell? Yes? Which as a kid I
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: didn't understand was how they made the toy.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Today's years old?
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Oh really, h love this figure autographs.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: This was signed unfortunately, I would say about two weeks
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: before his passing, which is crazy.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Look at this perfect for the power bamb Oh my god,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: he could do it all boom.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: Even if you look at the photo on the packaging,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: he's almost like in that pose. Yes, his famous like
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: sid kind of fire up there, like I mean awesome.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: If you take a good look at that sculpt, it's
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: like unbelieved. It's so good, so good, and and something's
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: just got This was the hardest one to get for me.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: This was like the last one to get in my collection.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Now he wasn't originally going to be posed like that.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Here are some other photos of what they were thinking
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: about going with. The one they went with is way better.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: The other ones looked too bulky.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: What's going on those things? Can Kung Bundy figures?
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Uh, this is perfect Again I sound like a broken record.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: But somebody else who can jump ship to your hasbrus
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: and I will say I believe this one is better
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: than the has But hasbro he just was like a
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: regular guy. Right this This was felt more epic. He's
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: a monster, huge, great, great figure and you have the
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: entire four horsemen. There it is right there. Next up
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: is the line Ron Simmons from Doom. Awesome. This is
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: where it gets a little crazy. We'll talk about it.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: These are my favorite just for these reasons.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: But we talked about poses and and and poses. You
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: can't do much with this this. You can't do much
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: with this pose right here. Of all the putting over,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: we just did this one.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Kind of all on a second. You got the great
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: shoulder tax.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: It's a great tackle, but you're not gonna have a
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: full match of tackles Mark Baker. Yeah, his arm just
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: being attached to him isn't the best. Look at this.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Ron Simmons Hall of Fame, first Black World chap. Oh,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: that's nice inscription on this.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: That's really cool.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Badass drives his opponent to the mat. See to me,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: like when this figure comes out, like the Doom run
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: is over and he singles right, so, Ron Simmons, It
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: makes you wish the line kept going.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: We could have got like an updated Trunks you know,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: babyface World Champion.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Ron would be pretty sick. Yeah, and you know he's
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: in his patented gym clothes. We'll talk about that in
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit. If you can't just have Ron Simmons,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: you need to have his partner. Butch Reid takes opponents down.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Butcher Reid, give me a second. Here, we got him
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: right here. Good sculpt right there, looks great again in
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the gym pans.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Think his hand should be holding something.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like a c grip. And again somebody
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: who was in the WWF at one time, so he
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: kind of you know. Now, let's look at these Nike
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: swooshes right there.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: But you can see the swoosh on the shoe?
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Which one do you have?
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: Brian, I purposely wanted the swoosh, but also, you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: Butch has passed on. I was fortunate enough to get
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: a swoosh men on card photographed wow from eBay uh I.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: So I acquired a collection of these that kick started
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: this whole collection.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, and that was it.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: This was kind of like the focal point of it
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: for me because obviously Butch is not around to sign
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: anymore of these. So it was a big deal for
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: me to acquire this clothesline power Slam motto.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: We bust heads. I don't think the likeness is good.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: The likeness is the best. Look at look at the
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: pants he's wearing. It's almost more more design right there
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: on the pants, almost Zuper style.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Also, you can see Clear's day in the photo up
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: here on this the crossout that he's you know, in tights,
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: not Jim.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: There were the black tights with the tape around the arms.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Really hit the spot on these two. I mean, damn.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the Nike thrust that you know obviously,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: why that had to be removed? Well, no, Nike approved it, right, No,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: they did not. Nike swoosh had to be removed. Now
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: why was the Nike there? Because it was on the
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: reference shots?
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, look.
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: Even okay, this is how to a t These were
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: followed crons are like high waters.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so was the figure right? So like they took
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: no creative liberties with these. They just I do like
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: that they taped up at least, But they's like, why
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't even make sense? I I I don't know. Maybe
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: they didn't know what this was for. I mean, there's
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: no way they were told, hey, guys, we don't want
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you in the Plaine. Black tights your your trademark tights.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Can you put on your gym clothes? Right? Like were
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: they say, Butcher's nikes there? Oh my god, this is crazy.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: They're just like, you know, maybe they have to lose
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: or something, so they're like pissed off and they're like, hey,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: you got to go take these pics and they're like.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Ah, marks of they're booboo facing because they had to
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: put somebody over that day. Oh my god. Yeah, I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: guess we'll We'll never know never. Uh. The collector at
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the collectoraty has a lot of great stuff that we
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: we we took information from him. But man to me, like,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with him being like this, but I kinda.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: They've been like this for thirty five years in my
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: head and in my memories and in my play, so
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: like it's kind of is what it is, right. I
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: don't even fantasize what they should have looked like.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but just think about just think about Mattel Release
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: like miss in his back stage clothes, like.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Even start making guys like mem w W was pushing
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: tap out. Yeah, miss tap Out.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Honestly, as a kid, I didn't blink an eye at this.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Neither same I don't know why I didn't question it.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I just I didn't. Yeah, I didn't question it one bit.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Did you think, like, Okay, I have street clothes Doom or.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Wrestling what they wrestled in? I didn't like. I don't
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: know why it didn't like not for years later did
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: not bother me. So there it is Ron Simmons, butch
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Reed Doom. Next up, guys, this one was the hardest
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: one for me to find. The Lion Brian Pillman, high
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: flying and dangerous. What an iconic figure. And the Bengals
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: colors one of my favorite figures. Ti flying crossbody.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, super toyatic. Dare I say, one of the most
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: toyotic galoops.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Dude crossbody off the top the Bengals tights.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: I mean at this time, I'm like such a boomeris
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: Ias in Mark and Bengals and like this just all
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: has just such early nineties nostalgia for me. Like I said,
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: I was being a Mark for my own name.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I love it. What are his signature moves? There?
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: Signature moves flying body press, which is exactly the Posey's
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: in right, true, yep, yep, yep. I dig that this
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: figure is like case fresh ooh like beauty but obviously
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: not signed, not signed, and I don't know if I've
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: ever seen a sign one that I believe to be real. Definitely,
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Brian Pillman no longer with us, does jump ship. It's
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: probably my like number.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: One dream get huh A sign glob.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: A sign globe Pillman like, if you this goes, even
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: though the hass ones I don't have, I think a
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: signed Pilman glob would be my number one dream get Now.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: You said SID was the hard one for you to get,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Brian Pillman was a hard one for me to get,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: so I'm remembering now. I think SID was like the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: last one for me to get. I absolutely love this figure.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: It's great the underdog. You need that book. That babyface
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: kind of like a rookie.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: The quote on the back here says, it's not the
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: size of the dog in the fight that matters, but
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: the size of the fight in the dog.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: That's great. Thanks Brian, and he eventually jumped ship the
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: way later. You're you're happy playing with these anymore? I'm
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: playing with these anymore? All right, let's go last, but
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: not least in this assortment. I think the plainest figure
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: of the bunch, Tom's ink.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: The z Man I would have been if I was him,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: would have been real pissed off about that picture in
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: the back. Why jacked, dude, He's just like, oh the
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: main thing, Yeah horrible? Why'd you pick that?
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Tom's inc the z Man decent boats, very generic.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Played with this a ton though, Like you know what
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: he was like, Uh, he's like the varsity athletes. He
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: was able to take a loss and keep going, you know,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: right right? He was valuable to my fake fast You
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: need you need, you need a hammer head you need? Yeah,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I woudn't even call him a hammerhead. Also, I mean
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: we'll get to it. All these were available in tupacs,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: so like in my childhood play those they were teams.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: You know who's he in the two pac with Pillman?
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Oh so you got them at his two packs. I
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: don't recall ever seeing the two packs obviously since I have, right,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: but as a kid, I don't remember seeing it.
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: I remember them more than the singles on the shelves. Now,
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: the singles are so much much easier to come by
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: that they're the ones that you know, hold true of
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: my memories.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so these come out ninety one. Obviously they're started
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety has the nineteen ninety on the ass.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: But guys, what what do you think? Tom zinks motto
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: is room eight hundred? What is it? Stay single? I
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: was close, I was close. That's wild was close. Sickly
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: child's toy. I kine they should have put the Rick
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Flair quote from the front of that. A real killer
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: with the ladies. They he must.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Have clearly he just had a call with his ex
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: wife a ton of money. They're like, hey, Tom, what's
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: your quote?
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Also definitely didn't wear his pads and his reference shots
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: right there is a a prototype that shows just all white.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: The likeness looks two. They said, I'm glad that they
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: updated because Zenk is a handsome jack man. Just asked
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Tony Shavani, he knows.
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: So the only thing I even really remember Tom zank
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: four is at this time, especially as being on that
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: episode of Family Feud.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I remember being in WWF for the Canam connection, and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: then I was a big WCW Fanily, I just love
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: like their pay per views, Like to me, they like
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: crazy pay per views like the the the War Games,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: or they had battle Bowl, the Lethal Lottery or the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Chamber of Horror like what is this stuff? Yeah? I
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: love it was great for a kid, Like Battle Bowls
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: the coolest thing ever for me. Like you take heels
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: of babyface, you make up, you make random teams, and
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: you have a battle royal at the end, Like whoever
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: made battleable to lead the lottery? Isn't that all dusty ideas?
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Was playing with toys had a fig fit in my opinion.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. There's the second assortment right there,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the six right there, we got Barry, sid Doom, Pillman,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and ze Man out of the twelve. What do you think,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: who's your number one?
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, Pillman is my number one because he's my favorite.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: But that's the thing is just so like iconic in
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: the wrestling figure space. It's timeless. It's I agree. I'm
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: going with the Stinger Marcus.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to do that too
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Now over Flair, well, I.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: Was gonna say, arn is like more important to like
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: just more important to me as a figure. Yeah so
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: maybe that I that's like my favorite, but like I
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: think is the best.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, Well, let's take a quick look at these
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: two packs. The tag teams. We're not gonna spend much
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: time on I'll of course, you got the Steyner Brothers,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the tag Team, Uh, tag Team, dream Rick and Scott
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Steiner again, same things. These are just re releases. Uh
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: yet the Doom again with the tag team titles. I'm sorry.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: With the ww tows, I guess it appears like tag
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: team titles, but they're all the same time. We also
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: got dudes with Attitudes, Lex Luger and Sting, and then
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: there were different versions with the with the other stings,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: which is crazy to me to think that these are available.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: But again I don't recall any of these. So there
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: we have it. I mean, of course, oh I could
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: we forget this two of the four Horsemen generals, Mark,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: you need this two pack.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: I've just thinking about it, and if I do see
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: it in a good condition, I'm I'm It's on my
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: list for sure.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I think it absolutely comes around. It's not that scarce.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: I've seen it, Yeah for sure. I feel like I
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: see it at Toyyo every time. Really, somebody's got it
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: at Toyo. Yeah, for sure.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I think that they're great two packs just for me personally,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: I don't need them. I have them loose.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: I love the size and the collar on these packages, Like,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: look at the Steiners, like it just looks so fun.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: The signers look great. I feel like it'd be really
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: tough to find these in good conditions. It is, so
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: there we go, and I made up that everyone had
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: a two pack. By the way, yeah, Pillman and Zanc
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: don't have a seap. In my mind, you can get
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: you get sit and Barry or everyone like this. No, no, see,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: that's why I love these episodes, you learn. I guess
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: this is why I like paired them in my mind
• 57:43

• 59:23
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to say here where this was way
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: better than the Haswa ring. Well, I think the action
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: parts were, but it would get too scuffed up, of course.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: All right, sure, but you could mess up a Haswell
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: ring too. No, you can mess up the sticker, but

  Speaker 4: even like really remember seeing in the stores to like
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: want it to get it. But my friend Jake Rubin
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: had an every time I go over his house. We
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: play with all you know hazros and glube guys and
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: mixed wall up and I'm like this thing rule he
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: has a cage a platform to jump off the top,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: like to make it so much easier.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it was just like, here is
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: a loose version to show you, guys. The bell right
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: here has a little hammer with a little hammer. Dude. Yeah,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: look at that.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: That's a that's good for outside interference. Man, it's a
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: far an object right there.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: It's got this launch. You put the guys in the
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: steps and I don't know if it works, but it
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: used to work.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe it doesn't work.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: It should, it should launch the guys up. Technical difficulties
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: here yet the top rope launch thinking, which is nuts.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Cage was nuts. I mean one of these corners go
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: back is oh yeah, one of the corners like slingshots
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: the guy. So but like you can even tell just
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: having guys standing there for a couple of years, it's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: all scuffed.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: That makes me a little cheakode. I took a like
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: eight x ten top loader and cut it nearly down.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm gonna do with this next Yeah, And
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: actually I do that with all my as well, in
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: my glue ring, just just in case because it was
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: too old.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: You're opening that new one that you bought.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I don't. I don't like these ropes.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: Broski has some right magical period that the elasticity is
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: going to be good after.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Look how many times I had to tie the ropes around,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: so they might have That's just that. Everyone's just like that.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Mine's like that too. Over there, Who's who's getting interviewed
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: over here? Robbie Kanoff might be. I honestly think it
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: might be.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: By the way you said. So, hold on seventeen seventeen
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: ninety nine. Seventeen dollars in nineteen ninety one is forty
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: dollars today.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, I thought it would be double that.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: So, but how much is I gonna tell ring?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: The cheap one is like twenty.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: Twenty five ish, but this has a cage, right, so forty.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: They don't have all these bells and whistles like this, literally.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: True, And I like the action features like you didn't
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: have to use them, so it could be a regular
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: ring if you wanted to. That's what I'm saying. I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: really try sure too.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: The stink flying in the air.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the red go to my friend's house to play
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: with this. I remember like it was yesterday. In the cage.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: You can kind of make it work for a Hasbro
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: but not really, you know, like you have to. It
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit perfectly, but you can figure it out. You
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: can get creative. You put you've put I've never done that.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: You've put this cage on your Hasbell ring.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: It doesn't quite fit. You have to like, I'll take
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: a picture, well, because launch too. There's like a missing
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: piece of connecting it.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: I'll try to if we can insert into the show,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: I'll show you what it looks like on a Hasbro ring. Wow. Yeah,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: but I didn't own this ring until maybe like when
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: we're doing this podcast. I had it as a kid,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: and it was certainly not like everyone had the Hasbro
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Blue ring, Right, That's what I'm saying, not this. No,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: That's why I was so bad. My buddy had it.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: I would I never owned it. I would love tone it.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: You need it, but you gotta do it. Brian's aid
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: with the top loader. That's what I'm gonna do. Next
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: one is top loaded and protect protect that that canvas.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: As you see in the prototype. It's also in the box.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: The bell was gonna be a little different. It was
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: gonna have also yellow turnbuckle pads just slightly. You know.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: That's what happens to the toy biz different protohip you
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: see it with the Rick prototype. But I like it is.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: My only complaint was a little too low the hazard.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: We had a little more height to it. Okay, I'll
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: give you that, but still way more fun to play
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: with though as a kid, it's definitely way more fun
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: to play with. I one agree. And the packaging looks nice.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a nice toyetic. That's that's a center
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: piece to a collection. Like I have the box by
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: boxes all banged up, so it wasn't worth keeping it
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: in the box, you know what I'm saying. But there
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: it is. Let's see what's next from this Glube line.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: We got the talking Boys fourteen inches tall and ready
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: to brawl. We'll quickly discuss these These are fucking weapons, okay, dang,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Like I don't I can't even see, like, like my
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: daughter's four, Like if she was playing with something like that,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I can't see her like bringing in places or counting it.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: It's that heavy. Like, look, how big this fucking thing.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: But it feels like a pile of lead. Yes, it
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: is very heavy. The head is squishy, but man, and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: there is articulation. I will say that there's articulation. So
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's similar to the talking has Bro Hogan Warrior
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: in that sense, but like he can kick, he can move.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: But like, yeah, it's crazy actually huge.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: These are big fucking boys.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: It's like a two up of a matel basic.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's pretty damn cool. Essentially your glue
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: figure blown up, right, you know. So they're staying fourteen
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: inches tall and ready to brawl big man. It's it's
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: it's and like I can't convey how heavy these boys are.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: They're heavy. I remember, like I think that same my
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: same Buddy Jack group, but maybe had like one or
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: two of these. I never own these. I never owned
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the media. Yeah, we got total not jacked enough Flexi
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Lexi not jacked enough total package lex Luger. Right here,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: it looks better there, actually looks all right. They're very
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: nice figures and they they're very nice. Yeah, they're very cool.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: If you have this displayed in the toy room, they
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: look great.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, I just uh, yeah, a loose, which I believe
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: Brian got me as well.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: And the original Luger prototype shows different arms, more jacked
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: up kind of arms. Belts nicer for sure. Man that
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: those arms will make it look a lot cooler. Yeah,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: definitely a lot cooler. Uh. Next up in the line
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: was whoa you gotta have this mark there? I do?
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I just said, Brian got it for me. I
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: have it loose, standing right next to my flare case.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: It's great.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: What I like about this is that Claire has the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: shorter hair than the glop.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: This is actually match the picture on the uh on
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: the pods.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: And still he's still got that socks. I like, I'm
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: today's years old realizing this sock.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: I feel like I've noticed the sock before as but
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: but never really like.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: That's wild that that crossed over onto a fourteen inches.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: The nature boy whoooo, what's his prototype? He got a
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: little prototype of different hands he was doing the chop,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: he was doing the shop with Like those hands better too? Yeah,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: the nature Boy. And last but not least there he
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: is here this Oh my god, I look at this
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: boy eester and the ruler said, justice, what a big boy.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: The only unfortunate thing is they're all the same scale,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: and he should be bigger, he should be bigger.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: But I'm fine with it. They're all nice, they're all
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: cool to display. As a kid, though, I don't think
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: you could have played with these. I mean they also
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: get like you can't bang them into each other. They
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: get no. Yeah, but they're so big you can't you
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: can't do anything. Nah. And they're heavy. They're heavy, like
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: you're like a pump plane with them. I have a
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: my shoulders little messed up. It was hard to show
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: it to the cap. How happy it is?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think like if you've never felt what you
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: need to be able to, don't we're complaining about here
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: because they're so heavy, very heavy.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if I had to choose a favorite
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: of this again, I'd pick Sting.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: I have so I had, I had all of them,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: but a couple of years ago I sold Luga and
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: Sit and I just have Flare and Sting now and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: actually not even there in my storage and they're not
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: even displayed.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Oh you gotta display them act they really put them
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: in my room. I'm looking around them are.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: Just kind of sitting on the on the floor next
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: to my flarecase with the right in front of the buddy.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: My flarecase is just a detall and it just didn't
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't fit in it.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: He won't he won't fit in a he won't fit
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: in a section of the I think that's why I
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: had a next one too, because this doesn't clear the
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: fourteen inches doesn't wouldn't clear the shelf.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Bro I'm looking right now. You're saying it won't fit.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe in the way that I haven't displayed. I
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: would I have the risers.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Actually, you're right, it might not fit. It's like right there.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: I could probably maybe put it in the front, bent
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: over a little bit, but it just looks really nice
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: next to the case. No, I don't, honestly, I'll take
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: a look at it after because I would love to.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get everything I own in glass. I
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: don't want anything out anymore.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, smart move, Yeah, all right, let's go to what
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: is next. Now, this is where it gets interesting. We
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: got a kid's championship belt. I did not have this
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: as a kid, or maybe I did, I don't remember.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: That's not you and the pic.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Wait, go back to the picture. You have the picture
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: of me and Kenny. Thisen am I wearing this belt? Oh?
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: You can't tell I'm wearing something? Oh my god. Yeah,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: I think I might be wearing like a house show
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: style belt, though I don't know. I don't know. I
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I have it here. I can't tell
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: what you own this belt right now? It now? I
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: did have it as a kid. I can't. I've never
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: owned this. I've never seen it. I have no memories
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: of it. I got it. It's very nice because it
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: has the velcrow, you know, so it's adjustable, nice and adjustable,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: and it's like a hard kind of plastic, and then
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: it's soft, almost like a fake leather.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: So it's cool, ahead of it, ahead of its time.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I I dig it. I think it's actually better than
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: the Kid's Hasbro title, more detail instead of just being
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: a sticker like the Hasbro was. But the Hasbrow one's bigger.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: This is a little tiny, it's pretty cool. Tiny, but
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: it's cool. I have this behind all my figures on
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: my g loop shelf, which I once I took down
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: for this display, will not be putting back up until
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: my new toy room. So you use this you use
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: this episode as a way to help you start packing
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: Bit one cabinet them.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about this. Okay, hornby high UK. In
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: my mind as a kid, all right, globs over that's it,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: No more WCW. That's it. We're done. But guys like
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: TTD living in the UK, D's just swimming into gloobs
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: over there. Bro. I had no clue about these until
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: I mid nineties Lens Comics America, New York had somebody's
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: like what I want to say?
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: I said before not till like I was in doted,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: but maybe early two thousands on the Internet, I finally
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: realized that these existed at all.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: We'll quickly run through these. These are repaints of the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: original series, so we have brick player. I also want
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: to say this, and this is just a theory. I
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: think this is like.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: The original wrestling line of things being made for the
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: sake of being toyatic and not accurate.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm taking all this title. Do you agree with me
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: with that?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: Similar to like the ec of you like Tommy Dreamers right, and.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: The same people. So you're telling me Rick Flair never
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: had the lightning bolt over bolt across No whoo, I'm
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: a reference of that. I just took off this title.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: This might have been opened by somebody and give it
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: to me, like, oh I bought it obviously, but that's
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: how fresh this looks. So I have.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, here's something really interesting. We were talking about this
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: before the show, the hornby Hobbies right right, and TTD
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: was talking about how the front says glub right, but
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: on the back they used a sticker to cover the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: globe stuff and I'm sorry, yeah, de freedom, look at
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: that there it is hornby Hobbies.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: I'm today's years old about the hornby Hobbies. To be honest,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: I have I'm pretty I'm sure I knew that that
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: was what happened to you.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. I I honestly, I didn't.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: I got this from from a major market. It was
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: a good deal. I never even looked on the back
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: World Championship Wrestling.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: And otherwise the front is exact same though the carding
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Sure distributed by hornby Hobbies. Westwood, Margate Kent, please retain
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: these particulars for future reference.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: WHOA. My question is, does this show everybody on the back,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: because they don't make everybody.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: The hornby hobbies. One just shows the twelve.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Can we talk about the collectible points, the clipping save
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: points that again led to nothing on satory lines. You
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: see that one the l A PN news. You know
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: about that proof of purchase one point? The ring was
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: four points, all right? So there it is the nature
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: boy Rick flair. We'll rapid fire through these, yeah, double
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: a some of these, I mean the crazy thing is
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: they're valuable, but they're ridiculous all the sites. Arn might
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: be the most passable like gear of the whole line.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: Actually, because he definitely were already right.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the aren't the ARN passes? Uh? For sure? There
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: he is Galube supersize with the w C W Barry
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Windham in that nice blue by which is okay. But
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: then there's like he would never have matching wrist tape color. Okay,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: that's a little beat up, but I'll accept it. For
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: here's a nice black trim down there, Like, yeah, what's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: going on here? I'm fine with the barrier Windham and
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: the blue? What about sid? It's like bright pink, bro,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: this is the neon pink so my to me and
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong without this. I think the real
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: single it is like orange, right, yes, No, I think
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: it is like a pinkish reddish. What did make the
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: pink is reddish? I mean I think that could be
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: all opinions and orange and pink is red.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: What color is the dress?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Pal, This is bro, this is hot pink. This is
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Doziglar pink.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, it kind of looks like a Doveziglar.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dolph Dolf Ziggler would have a real killer on
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: with the ladies in the front and stay single on
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: the back. Yea man, okay and wait, wait, go back.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: That's it. And Dolf Zigglers would say five nine mountain
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: of muscle. Oh my god, damn. So here are these
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: stings I guess re releases technically from the US. Again,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: this is so convoluted to me. I always thought these
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: were UK really until the Freedom found that they were
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: in the US as well. So there's the sting in
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: both colors with the orange. Oh, then we get total
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: package Lex Lugerers, Lex Luger. That's right, he said, the
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: green trunks with the yellow wristbands, the yellow side the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: right there too much.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: Not the idea of TD just swimming, just swimming in
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: the swimming They're everywhere.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: He's just swimming life. The total package. Then we got
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Flying Brian. Now is this accurate gear at all? Brian?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: You're this is like complete fantasy stuff on the pads.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: It's also decko on the back of the boots. Now
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: there's like an error out there with like only one
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: logo on the common Yeah, but people count that as
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: a variants. It's not.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: It's an error, but I mean, I guess could call
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: it both, but technically it's an error.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: This is a complete fantasy, complete fantasy.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: I think complete fantasy. I think he wore baby blue,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: but not those boots. In the designs on the it's
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: a weird design to add to these pads. If it's fantasy,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: I think there's just these things more toy, all right.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: Next up we got Rick.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: This one does pop and it is very nice. I
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: have it right here in the the neon green nor
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: it's nineties. It's so nineties. He was supposed to be
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: in the more accurate yellow, as you can tell by
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: this prototype. But the green pops green, certainly pops dog
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: faced gremlin.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: They were just trying to bring some life to these
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: and use more exciting colors. They definitely did definitely toy,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: even the Scott isn't in neon colors purple and pink.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: I'm sure Scott's worn something similar to this. Sure, I
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: mean to me, this is way more toy like than
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: the yellow. Yeah, that's the lace is the objective here, man,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: I actually prefer the yellow Scottie Steiner. And this is
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: where it gets really weird, because we have Ron Simmons
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: again it is Jim clothes. Uh blue, nice white stripe
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: down there.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: Nice stripe. They knew it, but no Butcher read no
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Tom's ink, right, But there is a prototype picture out
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: there of the tom z inc in the orange. Now
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: do I have the prototype? This is something I've been
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: debating for years. I don't like, there's no way for
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: me to prove this. Where and when did you obtain
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: this item a couple of years ago? Honestly, I get
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: so much stuff and so much prototype stuff. I don't
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: even remember the backstory where I got this, uh go
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: back in the major dever pod archives. But to me,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: it kind of matches the photo. Like you can even
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: see that white coming through on the wrist tape as
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: the prototype also has if you look. Yep, I believe
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: this is real. But also this is one of the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: things I didn't spend a lot of money on it
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: would just be such an odd thing to fake anyway, right,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: not really, because people would paint like who's who's seeking that?
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Like to fool them?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: People who are major marks, people that listen to this podcast,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: people who love not to fool anybody. But what if
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: somebody was like, you know, it would be cool to
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: own that.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: I you know, but it's not staying as Tom saying,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: that's where I'm getting at, I guess.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: But it is an easy custom if you're a customizer
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: and you're thinking of things to make, you'd like to
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: add to your gen collection. Right, we love the idea
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: of the things that.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't be you're a heart of Harsbrouski. Is it real?
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: I believe it's real. Like if you hold it in
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: hand and you look like I've seen some great customs
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: of my day, Like this doesn't look like someone painted it,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: you know over a series one.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: Probably looks like it's been painted in nineteen ninety one,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: not you know, two thousand and one.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: Like the paint job is just too good. Yeah, it's
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: just I don't know. Now if it was fake whatever,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't think.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't have been painted over this.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: There's no rules to this sample.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no rules, but we've seen Hasbro stuff like
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: if they redechoed somebody, they took the existing figure and
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: painted it so.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Like this looks like in my ex opinion, this looks
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: like a factory painted this, but over like uh maybe
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: not even over at Tom's. Like I don't even I
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: can't even describe it to you. Because the skin color
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: is slightly different than the other Tom's ink. The hair
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: color is slightly different, but that doesn't really necessarily mean
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: much either.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: I think that means a lot, actually, because if somebody
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: just grabbed the Toms Inc. Then theoretically the hair color
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: in the skin would be the.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Exact sty But you know how it is with these
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: mass piers figures. Sometimes you have, like especially in these
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: early days, you take two LJ and Big John Studs,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: the hair colors are different. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Because there made so many and so many different.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: Factories, who what was it a credible seller?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't even remember the backstory.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to go back. I cannot wait for
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: six months from now. When Brosky says on the podcast,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: I got this uh sample, tom z Ink, I read
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of them.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: There was some handwriting on the bottom. There are seven
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: two four seven. I believe that's what it says, two
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: four nin er. So listen, keep it in my collection.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: But guys, I don't like. I don't like proudly I
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: have the unreleased em like because I don't. I don't
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: really know. I believe it's real, but I I don't.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not you know what, I believe you?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: Well? Thank you? All right? So out of these repaints,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: what's your favorite? Who? Well? And you know, I was
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: old when I realized that that black Sting did not
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: come to the UK. I always thought that was a
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: UK exclusive as well. So I'm learning. I'm learning on
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: my own episode right now, light me, Bullflair, come on.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: No, Sid is the most fun for me, Hornby. We
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 4: should also acknowledge that these are very valuable figures. Yes,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: like we're dogging them because they're so weird. But if
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: you want to obtain these, especially men on cars, yeah,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: I get ready to spend some cash.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Sid as my favorite as well.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: All right, this whork gets real interesting, folks, because they
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: made other characters and this is where my mind was
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: blown in LNS comics when I found out about these.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Check this out. This is great figure, the natural Dustin Rose. Now, Brian,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: I knows you have Dustin Rose in hand. Do you
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: not have the other repaints? I have them all, I
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: just didn't bring them. They're just so stupid. There's such
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: backers and I don't even really here he is. Call
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: him a natural And I didn't own this figure until
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: probably the past six years or whatever. But it's great though,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: It's so cool, it's so big, the pose is very fun.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: They had to give him a longer championship.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: Yep, that's the one little fun trivia fact about this.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: Let's let's put that on the screen. Let's show the
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: like the longer title a couple more and you don't
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: have the belt, which is the only way to get
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: the belt is with this dust and you don't have
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: a complete set ideally.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, learning about these figures totally rocked my world totally
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: because they're just as good as the series.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: One.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: Guys, I'm pretty sure like these were all planned by
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: Globe and then you know, sales flatlined and they kind
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: of belled, and you.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: Know, and Horny was like let's do it.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go baby w c W the natural dustin Roads
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: and we got Jimmy Jam. Jimmy Jam came along right here.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I don't dig the face paint. I wish it was
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: yeah cool punched over.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: This is the first time that I'm really getting a
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: good look.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: At these, to be honest, Wow, bro, they're great.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: I want Mark to get itchy and start buying Jimmy
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: Jam garbing with that face paint.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: This is the kind of stuff guys, as I as
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: I grow older in my collecting days, that this is
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: the stuff that I want, not a Black Series Star Wars.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: I want quality over quantity.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: And what I like about these is like, you put
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: this on a shelf, It's already posed, it's already displayed,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: I will says. All the globes, they all stand on
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: their own pretty pretty well.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really, Like the balance of weight is so perfect
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: on you on every figure.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: Unlike an LJN, which is like barely fifty to fifty. Yeah,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: what about this guy? The total package Lex Luger waiting
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: for a rumble maybe one of the rarest figures in
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: my collection. I'm like, borderline uncomfortable even just having it
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: out right.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: Now, and you got the chain.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Do you have the chain, bride, yep, you have. You
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: have the chain on the wrong way. Why is it
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: on the wrong way because it's supposed to be like this, No, bro,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: I literally we're showing right now a reference shot with
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: a unreleased Pony two ahead. But right I literally unboxed this.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: This is how comes out of the box. But look
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: Look at the picture that they just showed, and then
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: I feel like I used the actual photo of Lex
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: wearing the chain to for you how to do this.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Oh well, this is how it comes in the package.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: Like this interesting, Wow, that's cool. That's so this.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: I opened this because this is I'm a psycho. This
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: is all made with with black materials. So it's like
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: an l j N like the old old j ns,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: like the old end where he'll get bad scuffs. If
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: it's a scuff on those, he'll have black on his nose.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: I see, your mind's like out of the package fresh.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: I I had. The only way I could find one
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: absolutely mint with the chain was to buy one and
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: open it up. And that's what I did.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: Like I said, I'm borderline uncomfortable even just having it
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: out of my case right now, that's how it's a
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: beautiful and the chain.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Forget the chain, it is impossible. It's a beautiful figure.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: It's the first uh you know, glube with a with
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: a thing.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: Right anccessary? Yeah, well obviously not right, not technically. The
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: next couple of guys have some things as well. All right.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: Next up we got Big Josh talk about somebody did
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: not know existed for years, talk about rare accessories.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't even know who Big Josh is.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: Ever seen a Big Josh wrestling match?
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot. This was this an axe handles
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: that was called axe handle. Super rare to get.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 4: This was like the last thing that I got when
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: I completed this loose collection was his axe handle.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Because it's so rare. What a great fucking figure, even
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: like the flannel is like molded. Yeah, damn, looks good.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: Tell I'm getting it.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: You here, guys, you gotta get it. The other characters,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: not the Neon stuff, but yeah, he's of the characters. Yeah,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: who's next? Oh man, call Dan Man?
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: Dang does Johnny Clash have this?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually it's awesome. It's not that the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: tassels whole new mold. Look at that so cool entrance Gearsting,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: This one is the same thing where it's painted all black.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: If you could see like my hands, can you see
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: my hands? Well? But what I thought was very interesting,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: mind is that you know Robbie kane Off and others,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: you know, they they start original toy makers, you know
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: with the founder of Glube, Saul from from Globe, they
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: start original take a shot original San Francis of toy makers.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Look at this thing they made. I never, I never, i'munderstood,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Like did they just I don't know.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: Was he saying it's fasting with that figure that he
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 4: wanted to do it again, but it's not the same,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: it's weird exact same, but damn yeah, I mean it's
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 4: pretty close.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, interesting And like.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Sting wasn't wearing this at that time? Not really?
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, it's it's I think Robbie Ganoff was just
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: pretty fascinated with that look I did get or maybe
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: he wanted to bring that look to America. Oh maybe
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: he did. What about newt Bad Street Michael p as.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: Hayes definitely not better than Jimmy jam Butt. A little
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: scuff on the butt, My first first blemish again. Yeah,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I just did not know existed four years. Yeah, I'm
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: looking at people, I'm looking at the trademark on the
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: butt nineteen ninety. That's what I'm saying. These were just
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: in development, I think. And yeah, they picked up the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: pieces there. It is.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 4: The free type designs are like you know in there,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 4: they're not just like deco hits, right, they're molded, molded,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: great figure, and I guess we're saving the best for last.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: L e GTTE talk about somebody that could have came
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: over to your fig fed bro.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: This figure is ginormous. Okay, like look at him, extis thing.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: Look at that He's huge. That's really cool. ELI got
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: there was such a big deal literally figurably in this
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: era of w CW. Like, this is such a great funck.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: I think this is an underrated figure. I think this
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: should be the major pot Hall of Fame.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not not against it. It's just so it's
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 4: so rare and you know, not a lot of people
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: have had a chance to see it in person or
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: hold it.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: You know, Wow, we got we got a Michael Hayes
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: in on card on eBay for two twenty four buy
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: it now right.

• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: There's one for one sixty bye, Now there's a loose

• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: an item we still have to discuss about the free birds. Yes,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 4: let's get into all right. Who's your favorite of these?
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: Big Josh Nah Dustin Dustin For me, of course I
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: love the Sting, but Dustin new character, great detail in
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: the boots, in the vest.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 4: If Sting was wearing the like blue tights that the
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: Glop series one is wearing, they'd be like a game
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: changing meeting. If I was a kid, you could have
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: done like his entrance, you know.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: But do you I think that like Michael Hayes is
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: like pissed off about this for a while, like the
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: I had a figure, but it's only in.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 4: The I don't think people probably lot of people and
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: says I was so popular I couldn't even find my figure.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, if I had to guess, he does not know
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: the actual logistic.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: Because Luger wouldn't care. He's got figures coming out. Sting
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't care.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think any of these guys care marketing. Yeah,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: really mad Dusted, I bet would care.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: Knowing him, Mark, I think you were the same age
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: as Dustin when this figure came out.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: Close to it.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there were also two packs. We'll go through
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: those quickly. Sta Brothers. He's got to be so rare
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: and expressed. Same deal.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: The two of the four Horsemen flair. You need that, Mark. Look,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: they're matching. They're red tight. Yeah, they match the lightning Bolt.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: You also got the fabulous free Birds, the greatest rock
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: and roll wrestlers on Earth. That's a cool looking too.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: But you're a big free Birds fan, like magic hanging
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: up in your room, you know.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course the dudes with attitudes Lex Luger and Sing.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: That's a rare boy right there.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: That's why I don't because if they match with the
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: entrance gears.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: Is that even like I don't know if I've ever
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: even seen that for a seal. I don't know if
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: I have either.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: Well, even even the Freedom said like he had to
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: grab these pictures. Is it hard to even find the pictures.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: Of these damn well. Next up we got check this out, guys.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: There was a ring with a little baggy of sting
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: and luger. It's cool just you get a little free figures.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: Pretty sure today is years old than that. When I
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: had no idea, I didn't know that either has mode
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: there with a J. C. Penny where you got uh,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: you got Macho and Hogan's a very similar deal. But
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: there's also a UK ring that's a little different that
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: has the sound slam and action with the sound module.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: So they made it already crazy fun and Toyota Playable
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: Kids ring even more crazy fun than playable. But I
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: do appreciate they changed the boxer. Big Josh is on
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: there dustin Wow. Part of me thinks that I have
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: remember when l came off the top of the cage.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: Part of me thinks that I have this ring he
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: was catching that dive bro. He's killing everybody. I kind
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: of have a memory that the ring that I have
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: that has just showed is this ring. I don't know.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I gotta figure this out. I do have the box
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: somewhere my storage, and so I gotta go to my
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: storage in and check.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: That I know you have this, this this unit because
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: you tried to play it on the podcast once do
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: I then I must have this you.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: Well, because you like this module comes with the fabulous
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 4: free Birds. This is this for whatever reason, this is
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: a very common box set and always pops up for
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: sale and whatever. I don't know why that is.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: But the free Birds coming with the sound module that
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: came with the Ring and then this is today's years old.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: As we had our little production meeting before we started this,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: no idea. The sound module was sold on its own. Guy,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: I just found this on WWE's YouTube WW. I'm sorry
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: WCW sound Slamming Asher Ring w on Box with Zach Ryder.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: So I unboxed this on ww's YouTube channel, so I
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: do have it. I don't know where the sound module
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: is though. Wow, maybe it's in the box.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: In my storage unit by it now on eBay. Sound
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: module with the free Birds three hundred bucks.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's like it's more common. It's definitely more
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: common than like the two pack of the Freebird. Look there,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: I am holding it.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Look at that. I didn't even know I had. I
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: have it. We got box a old wrings YouTube channel.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: What is going on here. You learn something new every day.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: You learn what you have, right, you learn what you
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: already have. Let's get into some nitty gritty stuff here, guys,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: there were talks of talking wrestlers.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, we could just say that this is the
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 4: line's over, that's dead done. T TD's family did not
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: purchase enough of these, therefore, thanks dude.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: But what we're about to show, we're not exactly sure
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: where these were going to go. These are talking figures.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: You can tell where like the soundlot came out. Okay,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think they would have made everybody think they
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: bought a dead sting log or sid Flair.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe they were going to vibrate.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: Who knows, No, I don't think so, but you never know.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: Is Robby Kanoff? Next up? We have like a little
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: articulation action with a stinger right there, kind of in
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: his entrance gear but not quite. There's no tassels, a
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: little unique looking figure. A lot of this stuff we
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: have little to no information about. You speculating its Okay,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Now this is where it gets crazy. Okay, this I
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: guess would have been the next wave, right if it
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: continued in the UK in Robe. Yeah, it's ric Flair
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: in the robe. Beautiful beautiful figure, hand painted prototype right there.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: It's unbelieving sense saying he's the next you know, he's
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: the next one. So woo. The nature of bar ric
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: flair looks great. Now this is where it gets crazy, guys.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: The diamond Stud and look who owns it. That's crazy. Now.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many of these there are out
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: there in the world. I do know that mine. It's
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: like a resin material. Like just just looking at the
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: stubble sunglasses. Pretty cool, Like this is like one of
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: my prize possession figures right there, diamond stud. Is that
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: in scale with them? Or is that like sized up? Er? Wow,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: I guess it's a little size I can't I can't
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: tell he sized up or oh he looks sized up? Yeah,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: maybe a little sized up.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: It's awesome though.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: That's cool though. I absolutely love this. I wish I
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: had the flare as well to show you guys, but
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: I don't have it. Diamond stead would have been perfect, like,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: oh man.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: Think about that, could had razor ramone in you're figuring
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: jumping ship. Yeah, say head it all to the bad guy.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 4: The diamond stud. Okay yo, baby yo, baby yo. This
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: is one of those things that like this run was
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: not what it is in people's minds, but because of
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: this pro type has existed, it probably makes it more.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: No baby, yo baby yo PM News.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 3: We watched a couple of PN news matches on Off
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: the Top rope and I was just blown away, blown away.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: Especially it would it would have been an unbelievable thing,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: very toy, very early nineties, put about nineties. Yeah, I
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: was like, you an interview with him where he talked
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: Like he just looks like somebody who would have been
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: on MTV slanging videos. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Look at the detail here on the watch.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: What were you saying about an interview brisky?
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: I was just doing an interview where I said he
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: didn't come out, and he's like, oh, yeah, I pissed
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: somebody off. No, that's how it happened.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: This is why you can't let uneducated wrestlers about the
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: toy business just you know, make stuff up.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: There it is yo baby, yo baby yo. But that's
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: not all. We got. Ricky more that I wish was real, Right, bro,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: look at this, that's beautiful.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: How did you get these brosky?
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: Look and look at that this is a prototype fade
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: in the hair. Look at that fade into the mullet
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: with the two hair color. Oh my god, how did
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 4: you get these?
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: Were they all separate or somebody had them all?
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: I got the three together. Does Ricky know you have that?
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: Ricky knows I have it? He definitely wants it. Well
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: he can't. He probably it's Ricky. Somebody probably does want it,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: but he can't. Like, look at this was made, like
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: look at all this detail.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: Guys, awesome, these are awesome figures. You have to go
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: when you build this room, you know what I mean?
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: You have to take note on the prize items.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: I think you have to get those like slabbed. Dude,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: So I think maybe Diamondstead was just made taller because look,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: he's just scale Barry.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: Wyndham, gotcha, yeah, but he should be small.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: So I think you have to get those like encased
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: and slabbed and labeled. And I won't do that, why
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: because I like that I'm able to hold him like this.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think you need to do that, but I
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: do think that you need to make sure that your
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: glub section is prominently featured in your new room, so
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: they will be.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: And they were in my other tour room. These guys
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: I had that those three right in.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: The front right, so man, I had that flare.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go, if anyone has a Flair, hit me up.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: I'll I'll hit me up first, I'll say I can't
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: pay for that, and then I'll tell Broskey.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: A lot of purchases coming out of this this episode.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: It's funny because we have our own toy company, Collectmajor
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: dot Com, and we were planning on doing, Hey, we
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: have ric Flair, why don't we recreate this glube? We
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: decided not to. Thank god we did because now there's
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: like all these glub companies coming out trying to make gallubs.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have Flair and Ricky Sign. We could
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: have done this. Yeah, at the time this recording, none
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: of those Globe companies have made anything. So that pan
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: News that's like an exact replica that is not out
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: no yet, Oh my god. Yeah. So we wish them well,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: but we're not gonna plug them here. Honestly.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 4: If that when that figure comes and it's like legit
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 4: and if it is like worth it, I'll definitely be
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 4: picking it up.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So there are also something that we don't have
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: painted versions of black Blood, Black Blood, Billy Jack Haynes,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember this gimmick.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 4: Nope, nope, but that would have been another accessory in
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 4: this line. Yeah, I would have been another accessory of
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: the few I mean. And then the free Birds in
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: like their entrance gear.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. So there's the Michael Hayes and the Jimmy
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: Jam garbing. They look a lot better now, these figures
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: like they've been like casted and sold multiple times. Like
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: so I don't even know if these pictures are like
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: the real prototypes, are the casted versions, because like someone
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: sent them to me once and like they weren't trying
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: to fool me. But I was like, these are cool,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: but like the I can't have like a copy of
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: a prototype in my collection. Bro, Yeah you know what
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So they would have, but the Jimmy Jam
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: would not. Even the Michael Hayes would not have been
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: toyetek Like to play with Jimmy's like tugging at his
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: jacket impossible.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you're just doing the switch, like I was saying,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 4: if that sting had the baby blue tights, you do
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: the entrance, eat a little switch, and.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: You have your mash right, golden.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: So Glube also made some other stuff. Now this we
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: don't know what was going on with this. We've heard
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: conflicting reports. Okay, we've heard these were supposed to be talking.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: We heard these supposed to be taller. I also heard
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: these were reposed to be before series one, but then
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we can't do the articulation in time.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: I also heard, oh, he's supposed to before series one,
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: but oh no, Hasbro has some sort of like trademark
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: on the action. So we don't know for sure. But
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: if you're watching it like a counter move to the past,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: bros like the scale essentially five points of articulation the lubes,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: but if they had Hasbro articulation, and again we don't
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: have these and nobody has these currently in hand to
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: see the scale. Also, can we just say, what the
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: fuck are these trunks?
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Right, it's like it's it's his robe above his trunks.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Rick Flair and some robe trunks singing green, which looks nice.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah that one doesn't that look that bad?
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's cool. I've been trying to find these
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: for the years. Is that is that Luger and Confederate
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: flag trunks. What is that that? Literally, if you didn't know,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: you'd think those Tracy smothers we got, there's the sit
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: in that like trademark YEP. And then we have Rick
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: Steiner and Scotty Steiner. That's Toryetika as fuck. I do
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: like that, but it's only those six, which makes me
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: believe like its series one. Huh. Well no, because the
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: original wave had doesn't have has armed, doesn't it. Oh,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: you're right, that's only switch though, So we don't quite
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: know what these were. Everything out there is speculation. I
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: would love to have these in hand. Someone definitely owns
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: them because in the early two thousands these were going around. Really,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: so someone has them.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: There's a kid playing with them somewhere.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I don't think that, but I don't know
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: if they're in somebody's collection. I don't know if they're
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: in storage. I don't know.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've said before on the show, I've I
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 4: used to. Actually I emailed with saw Jodelle several times
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 4: to try to get prototypes, and I called Robbie Kanoff
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 4: before he passed and we played phone tag and we
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: even talked on the phone a couple of times.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: I love you a voicemail.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 4: They neither one of them have anything, nor do they
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 4: know where to locate anything prototype.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: Right because now, like you know, prototypes are plentiful because
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: people know to keep them. Back in the day, people
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: didn't think that.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 4: You know, Robie Canoff explained to me that he would
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 4: just give them the kids, like that's what he said
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 4: to me on the phone.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, these would have been cool no matter what
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: they are. But they are some things that did come out.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this stuff. Well rapid fire,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: Oh well this did not come out. Teddy Long. Look
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: at this. Where are we supposed to get a Teddy Long?
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: Because there he is with Doom in their gym clothes,
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: and it's not just a picture of him with Doom,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: it's the reference shots. So imagine if we would have
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: gotten a Theodore or log Galoop. I would have loved that.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: I would have absolutely loved that, and I think he
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: would have fit perfectly. Would he have sold I don't know, Yeah,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: that might be the issue. What there's no denying he
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: was meant for that line lived been fun. I would
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: just look at that. But the he's a jip close too.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: They all went to the gym together, y'all don't like
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: Alube neither man. That would have been great. Hey, if
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: there's any other reference shots out there, possible, guys, let
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: us know. We'd love to find out do a follow up.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: That's cool, But what else is there to show? The
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: carrying case, the collectible case. This is not technically a
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: glue product.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: But I feel like everyone like had these though, Like
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 4: I'm like sad that these have gone to the wayside
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: of collecting, you know, yeah, because this was such a
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: nineties thing and everyone, I mean everybody had had these things.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: I like this versus meant in Surren wrapped there Broskie.
