I remember having some in the 1980's. I used to watch wrestling on Sundays as a Kid and try to reenact the matches I watched on Our coffee table 😀 👍♥️🎉🎉👏👏🎉🎉💯💯

It’s still WWF to me, I had these wrestlers and ring. I got a new LJN wrestling ring every Christmas starting in 1985. The WWF should come back out with these LJN wrestlers and ring for collectors and they can make money at the same time. Even Michael Jordan bright back the old Jordan’s for people who wasn’t alive back then.

Neat'O Brother!! I remember watching wrestling in the 1980's. I had a bunch of these LJN wrestlers. I would use Our coffee table to reenact the matches I seen on TV. Thanks for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯

Love this video. One of the most memorable Christmases of my life when my Cousin and I got all of those and the wrestling rings. I sadly lost them all, but may just try to complete my collection again. I had the wrestling album too and listened to it non stop. Good times.

Favorite song on Wrestling Album.... For Everybody by Rowdy Roddy Piper. More to come on these LJN toys. Thank you for watching.

Seeing these brings back memories it's crazy with those wrestlers the way they were made and those poses we still had great matches and years of fun I never had any in the black cards but good times

Imagination was key to 80s playtime. These figures allowed us a conduit to the characters and made playtime fun. Although not the best action figures of the 1980's they did represent the WWF characters well. Thanks for watching.

I still have my wrestlers

My Brother back in the 80's had all these figures plus the ring. I ended up having to reinforce the top of the ring mat as it cracked due to the abuse it took for from various dream matches. Great Toys and Great Memories.

My ring was recently broken by my Son and Nephew's abuse. But a toy still played with thirty years later is a testament to how fun these action figures where. Thanks for watching.

They actually did. Ljn just released a tag team set of the AEW Young Bucks!!!! It's a Ringside Collectibles exclusive. So awesome!!!

I never had these because they were just too pricey. $8 in the mid 80s was equal to about $25 in 2023. I didn't start getting wrestling figures until the early 90s when the smaller Hasbro plastic figures came out. They were priced at $5 and my parents could afford them. Loved them.

John Wild hey np like your video it's awesome I have alot of vintage rings and the way I remember it is red white and blue I used to have a ton of fun with the ljn wrestlers back in the day didn't have a wrestling ring for them at the time but used to make one with carboard pencils and pipe cleaners best carboard was my grandpa's Milwaukee's best empty beer boxes lol made pretty good home made rings although not the sturdiest I'll be honest with you

I like the wear marks shows the figure was there. Endless hours of fun. Mint figures are posers not really apart of the history. Ljn. The day I got the sling em ring for my birth day was a day of days. Get well Rick Flair 4

How are mint figures not part of the Ljn history? Lol. So because some people kept theirs in perfect shape they are posers? That's an asinine statement. I have some from series 1-6 loose and on card. Far from a poser. I had them as a kid, played with them, and also wanted a mint set too. Nothing wrong with that.
