Let's have a look at the story and history of Grand Toys / LJN of WWF / WWE Wrestling Superstars figures - the black card run of 1989. This includes Andre the Giant, Ultimate Warrior, Big Boss Man, Ravishing Rick Rude, Haku, and the Warlord. Also cameos by Hulk Hogan, Bobby Heenan and members of his family.
This shows the final 6 figures after Grand Toys bought out the rest of LJN's stock of action figures. They were released as a Canadian Exclusive only (oh Canada!).

    If they made some more LJN WWE figures in 1990, It would be Mr. Perfect, Jake Roberts, Macho King Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, Jim Duggan, Demolition (Ax and Smash), and Earthquake.

    They made Jake the Snake in series 4 and Ted DiBiase, Jim Duggan, and Ax in 1988. The 1990 wave was supposed to include Smash, Bad News Brown, Bushwackers, Barbarian, and Brother Love.

    This was a very awesome video, I really enjoyed it. The LJN WWF figures, along with the Remco AWA figures, are my favorite action figures ever. More videos on the LJN figures (and AWA figures) is always a good thing.

    Corrections on my video: 1) Hogan's belt is upside-down at the 3:00 mark - he was partying too hard with Mean Gene the night before, LOL 2) At 3:18 mark, the Series 6 Andre is smaller than Series 1, but is a REPAINT of series 2, so it is not smaller than it (I misspoke) Please subscribe for more content!

    I have rude from the last series but the other 5 are now soooo expensive. I need about 10-12 to finish the whole collection. I've had my others for decades now...damn we got old fast lol. We played with these so often as kids and brought them to school back in the 80's for show and tell. Great video. Edit someone used a Haku to make a custom barbarian?! 🤦🏻

    Yeah they rose in price fast. Glad you enjoyed the video! No, a Haku wasn't sacrificed to make Barbarian. They 3D printed a solid body (it's not rubber) and swapped the hands to make Barbarian. No series 6 LJN's were sacrificed to make the custom, LOL!

I almost didnt reply coz my initial thought was "huh, but people use these figures for customs all the time" till I realized the rarity makes collectors a bit more cautious in sacrificing a 1989 figure. Though... i have seen some where the paint is entirely gone and theres no point saving it, such that people make a custom. Thanks for viewing!

    That might be true, but in the United States, you could only get the series 6 figures from a mail order ad. They were around $17 dollars each from that ad. They never hit the store shelves in the US.
