Bootleg Wrestling Figures Series #1

[cwfpro]

Hey all, well since Hasbromaniac did a few series about the WWF Hasbro figures. I figured why not about all the bootleg figures I have. I will post new set in a new series every week. With a review on them and any of you want to add to the story or info on them.. be my guess. I hope STOMWIJF will not care about me posting these series of bootlegs and even helps me out. I have about 7 or 10 different bootleg sets of figures. so here we go.

Bootleg Wrestling figures or Knockoff Figures can be mostly found at your local $$ Dollar Stores. (Dollar Gen, Dollar Tree, some times biglots, etc...) For a dollar or some times 2 for a $1. The most famous ones are the the he-man bodies or the ECW Bootlegs. Most Bootlegs never really have names for there wrestlers. Most of the time they have about 6 wrestlers in the set. However, the ECW Bootlegs had 15. Most of the time they never have a ring. On there cards they have most of the time WWE or some times other wrestling such as WCW or ECW wrestlers or logos on them. The Companys never put there names on the sets due to lawsuits and copyrights. They make a set. Sell it to a Dollar Store and move on to something else. Never will you see a Series #2 in these sets. Very Rare will that happen.



They get the molds for the figures and make tons of figures and move on. Some times the colors of the figure like there cloths/tigths. Are painted in different colors. So you could get a Johnny Cena Figure in blue pants. Then see him again in red pants.

This is not just done with Wrestling. They can have anything such as: Buffy the vampire slayer, hello kitty, GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man, etc... but the biggest one is Power Rangers.

Well we all know this is the Ultimate Warrior. But they used a Warrior BCA head as you can see.

John Flair-
this is just a Ric Flair knock


the Golden Boy-
I believe this could be Lugar or Link from Zedla?

Well this is Scott Hall. They used a Justoys Razor Ramon Head. I love the purple hair.

COOL, I BEEN SEEING SOME OF THOSE ECW KNOCKOFFS. THE COVER ALWAYS HAVE CHRIS BENOIT. BUT THE FIGURE IS WITH SOME1 ELSE!!!

[ddpbang]

Awesome, I'm a huge fan of bootlegs, surpisingly I can never find any around here, any places you know currently that sell them now?

[Mastermind]

cool thanks for posting pics..i had the bret hart...i broke it lol..

CWFPro: nice idea. Been toying with it myself; heck I used to have a site just about bootleg wrestling figures (it was called Bulk Bogan and the wrestling bootleg band , since I hadn't updated in over a year tripod kicked me out, lol.

Anyway, I have to disagree on the producers being nameless: usually that's true, but there's the notorious Mannix (Hasbro style) and the legit (!) european toymaker Simba (using Hasbro moulds) - among others (europlay comes to mind with it's mini-"Hasbros").

[cwfpro]

thanks all.. yeah I will keep on posting them each week.. next week I will do the ecw bootlegs..

Ruby Fusion: I was saying most of the time they are unnamed wrestlers with an unnamed company. not all the time but most of the time.

to get your hands on some of these.. go to ALL your dollar stores near you. If they don't have them. Ask them to order them. I did that with the ecw bootlegs. This for-and guy got me two boxes with 40 figures. He sold them to me for only $30 he told me he didn't want them sitting on the shelfs not selling. He was very cool As a matter of fact that was a $0.99 store as it was called. They have never got anymore of these in stock since 2002.

Cool I've been desperately trying to find that DDP bootleg that came in SS packaging for a while now.

A guy who ran a $.99 store sold you 30 figs for $40? You realize that is a rip-off, right?

And did you really call him a "for-and guy"?! LOL

[cwfpro]

SORRY that was a type-o it was 40 figs for $30

[razorred900]

the one that's suppose to be Lugar lookes like Jerry Cantrell

I loved bootleg figures as a kid. They were awesome. As a kid, I could have honestly cared less about head scans, or detail, etc. These did the job just fine, and were so inexpensive.

Me too. It's a perfect TTL Diamond Dallas Page, and I would pay big money for it.
