I've been meaning to ask this for a long time and never thought of it while I was online.
Of all the LJN figures, who do you think has the worst pose, either for playing/wrestling with it or just how it looks on display?
For wrestling/playing, I would vote Rick Rude as the worst as you couldn't really do anything with his arms. Second place, i would say Million Dollar Man as he had a fist full of dollar bills in the way.

I dislike how hogan is, you have to lean him against something for him to stand.

I always felt this was the GAY-EST LJN pose ever, I hide this one at the back of my collection.  |

As a kid I disliked the Rick Rude pose.... he had both hands at the waist, making any wrestling move impossible to make.

Jesse Ventura's pose isn't too bad for playability, but I always hated the knuckles-out "walk like an egyptian" pose.

Btw.... neither Killer Bee is very good. Both have a non-wrestling pose as well.

I'd say Rick Rude for sure. If not Rude, then Mr. Fuji.

I'd say Rick Rude for sure. If not Rude, then Mr. Fuji. what wrestling moves would you need to do with Mr. Fuji?? Big John Studd would NEVER stay standing on my shelf.. he always wanted to fall backwards.. As for playing, I was never too fond of Terry Funk.. something about him was just hard to play with.. I never had Koko, DiBiase, the Bees, or Rude growing up |

My Bob Orton refuses to stand.... EVER.
Pretty much anyone with an acute bicep flex was horrible for play.
The 1st Hogan's pose was awesome though, piledrivers all day long... daddy-o!
.....And to the guy who said Adrian's pose was gay.... um... what other way would it be?

Big John Studd would NEVER stay standing on my shelf.. he always wanted to fall backwards.. That's another big problem with LJNs. They all tend to fall over except for really heavy ones such as Ken Patera or King Kong Bundy. |

Tito Santana was one of my favorates, But I didn't like Mr. Wonderful's double biceps pose. It was great for displaying, but I thought it was horrible if you wanted to play with them.

A lot of the figures were great for moves like a bodyslam or suplex. Regarding Mr Wonderful, do you guys find that his arms were crack on the inside of his elbow? I actually had one arm break off at one point when I was young. I've had quite a few of these figs over the years and most have small or large cracks on the arms.

worst one is Rude. Others with problems would be M$M, and koko due to the pose and or attire.
Ted Arcidi, Bundy, and a couple others with arms down were hard to do moves with. Some of the poses on this set were bad, especially if you wanted to play with them. I will never understand why they thought Rudes pose was acceptable.

Easy "pureshapemind" Don't get all "BrokeBack Mountain" on me!
I was just responding to the Post and "LJN Poses"My Bob Orton refuses to stand.... EVER. Pretty much anyone with an acute bicep flex was horrible for play. The 1st Hogan's pose was awesome though, piledrivers all day long... daddy-o! .....And to the guy who said Adrian's pose was gay.... um... what other way would it be?

.....I meant that as to say that Adrian Adonis' character was in fact... very homosexual.... and therefore.... he would obviously have... a very homosexual.... pose.
Not exactly sure what context you took it in that got you all boldy texty with me.
Back on topic though... the joints of my old LJNs would always crack and tear. Especially the back of the knees on Hogan. I remember the left arm of my Greg Valentine completely ripping off when I was little.

Probably Rude, then again: it perfectly captured his cockiness...

For Play- Rick Rude.
I guess I was pretty fortunate with all my ljns because I didn't have a single one rip/tear on me and I played with them things day in and day out for a couple years my Tito,Bret Hart and SD Jones figures were like playdough when I stopped playing with them, I could do just about any move with them 3 I really hated the hands down figures (bundy,steele,etc..) .. I should have patented the rko/diamond cutter, I invented that move with SD Jones and called it the "special delivery" lol.........
