Quick run down, my buddy and I were cleaning out a new house he inherited from his grandpa and found these figures. We can seem to find them online although they do look identical to the small wrestling Hasbro figures. We took them to the flea market today while we were reserving a table and asked a guy with a bunch of wrestling figures an them and he said they are probably just smaller ones made bigger in the early 90. They are way bigger than the smaller ones we found but look identical except you can remove head and arms come off and have hooks on them. We found seven of them and found there smaller versions online to put names with them they are.. the clown ,British bull dawg,bam Bigalow,undertaker, dusty Rhodes, Adam bomb and the last one not sure but pretty sure its hulk hogab with red n yellow pants and garden hedgers. Just wondering are these worth anything orjust junk? We taking them to the flea market in the a.m. also ton of the little Hasbro figures. His grandpa worked for the Hasbro company and was a wrestling fan. We were making jokes ab a 50 year old man clacking toys together lol. But just needing some advice on what to price the big and little ones

First we need pics. Most people on here aren't going to believe you until then. What you have described sounds like 2Ups I believe. Other guys will chime in. If the are real, and you really got them, then they are worth a lot of money so don't take them to a flea market.
These would be very rare finds and the first that anyone has seen of them.

They are much larger than a regular Hasbro figure and come apart. It is a part of the process of making the smaller figures. You got to upload a picture to tinypic or somewhere then copy the Img Url.

Hasbro only made Giant figures of Hogan and Warrior.
2Ups were a part of the production process. I guess they made one for every figure but not certain especially if it used a lot of old parts. They are one of a kind items. Do not take them to a flea market.

I live in Ga, and I would only want them to profit from them.
There are collectors on here and the internet/ebay that would pay a ton of money for them. If this story is true, we would really love to see pics somehow. I gave you my email in a PM. I could post them for you. This is never before seen stuff.

last one not sure but pretty sure its hulk hogab with red n yellow pants and garden hedgers. Is the third figure from the left in the bottom row the figure you speak of? If so, this will become an interesting thread... I'll reserve judgement until I see pics.

I mean no disrespect to any collectors out there, but wouldn't a wrestling figure museum be a great place for these pieces to go? That way they are protected, and available for all to see, close up. Kinda like the Smithsonian....

Obviously it's a situation where we can't really buy it until we get photographic evidence. I'll remain skeptical until then, but hey, let's not forget about the Tugboat 2Up. These things happen. I was the original guy in talks with the former employee who had the Tugboat, and he didn't even know who it was. He had just rescued it from the trash because he thought it was cool, and stored it away for a couple decades. Point is, even people who used to work at Hasbro don't necessarily know or really care about these 2Ups and what they mean to people like us.
One thing that stands out, and someone who knows more about 2Ups can confirm: I recall a story about someone, possibly the guy from Lee's Toy Review, getting a hold of the Dusty Rhodes 2Up many years ago and having it break when it fell over while the guy was taking photos. In most cases, are there not just one 2Up for each figure? Of all the 2Ups from the WWF Hasbro line we've seen over the years, I can't recall doubles.
