    That head sculpt is really good for the time.

    It's not a bad likeness, just the body is not in proportion with the head. I think that only casting one body mold for all the figures was a mistake. Thanks for watching.

    Keeping it very basic on my channel. These toys were just above Remco's AWA Wrestlers on my want list in 83'. Just too many choices back then. Well at least I get to enjoy them as an adult. Thank you for your support.

    For some reason I never could find this figure here in my town or he definitely would have ruled my wrestling federation as a child! Which consisted of Remco figures of AWA/Pirates Of The Galaxseas & Lost World Of Warlord. along with Thunder Cats, Sumo Giant Komusubi & Mr T! Luckily I just recently purchased a couple from eBay!

    It may be better than the second attempt at a Hulk Hogan figure produced by LJN in the Wrestling Superstars line in 84'. Hulk Hogan is a pretty easy likeness to capture, all you need is a high brow, thinning hair and a goatee. Thanks for your support.

    Indeed Count. There is a whole sub culture of Masters of the Universe Collectors who just want the knock-off figures. Some of these knock-offs go for more than the real deal figures. So glad to see such a positive response to these figures on my channel. Now I have to go back out and find some more diamonds in the rough. Thanks for your support.

    This figure is a awesome figure for any Rocky or Wrestling fan He fits in well with the AWA Remco figures and is the first Hulk Hogan sold world wide. WWF Ljn did there Hulk was 1984. The cool thing about this figure also is that he had a wrestling ring made for him in this line of figures and it came with a Thunderlips that was a little different than the one in the single card here is a photo of mine and my brother' Thunderlips side by side. pre05.deviantart.net/8f27/th/pre/f/2015/282/e/1/thunderlips_with_wrestling_ring_by_mekio82-d9cg884.jpg Also there is a Rocky with a little different style head in the same collection.

    Would have been nice if he came with an entrance robe and hat. Would have been easier to differentiate between Remco then. Thanks for watching.

    It's always made a perfect fit though, around the time this movie premiered he had just left AWA for WWF

    This came out 83? Looks better than AWA figs and WWF Ljn Figs. This is a figure based off a movie, and it is better than actual Wrestling figures from that time period.
