what display cases can you use for the justoys ? Zolo? I have never used a Zolo case, but my understanding is that they have just about every size imaginable. The Justoys cards are 6" across by 9" long while a Hasbro is 7 1/2" across by 9 1/4" long if that gives you any perspective. I would think Zolo has cases for Hasbros and the Justoys are just a little smaller.

Sorry to spam up your thread here, but I have a question. Maybe Chicago could help shed some light on this? Is there anyone else who was released so long after leaving the company like Luger here? I'd imagine this was released somewhere in '98-'99 and Lex left for WCW in August 1995.

I'd imagine this was released somewhere in '98-'99 and Lex left for WCW in August 1995. If I remember correctly, these are Canadian releases and they are repackaging of former series figures. Luger was in the first group of figures (I lost track which were first and second series as they are not marked, but I have it here somewhere) and Vader was from Series 4. Not that this series is shown with no face of the wrestler on it. Some of the Canadian series have four faces from that series on the front of the package, although they apparently do not show the Rock or Austin when they were added to the American version.

Luger was Series 1 (unless you're referring to a specific Canadian exclusive series, then I have no clue). Did those black and purple cards debut with Series 8? Because that would place them around the fall of 1998. I've never noticed those variations before though. Luger definitely stands out like a sore, green thumb. Here's an image of the back of the card from eBay.ca (same Lex variation and all): I think Hitman Bono may be on to something. I'm having a tough time thinking of a figure in the last 25 years that was repackaged three or more years after the wrestler's/its initial release.

The only thing I can think of is the Shawn Michaels figure. He was in Series 4, which was probably 1994, and then he was put into some I picked up years before I started collecting in 2005, probably in 1999 or 2000, from Family Dollar that are shown 2 photos below the purple carded ones on page 1 of this thread with the black cardboard top and a thick, heavy plastic pouch. They could have been shelf warmers for years there, but that would have been about the time I got them. I may have to dig them out to see if there is a date on them.

This is gonna sound like some nitpicky BS... but there's no way that Shawn is from '94! I'm not even sure that the proper first release of the Lex Luger even happened while he was in the WWF! -BUT- That' speculation on my part.
I might be a little biased though, because I personally didn't see a SINGLE Bend Em figure until winter '97. And I had been collecting WWF Jakks since Easter of that year, so it's not like I didn't look at every Wall Mart, ToyzRiss, Target, and K Mart I went to. Now, I knew they exsisted because of adverts and whatnot, but I didn't see a single figure until 97. And that woulda been the early sets (picked up Kid and Bulldog, my cousin got Hawk). Now, about June/July of '98, my Wall Mart got a F*CK TON of Bend Ems. These were everything except the first two series. And they stocked them through until the end.

Well, I found one on Ebay that showed the back and you are correct, it is not a 1994, but a 1996 release.

Yeah, boxes for sure normally have the right release date. Sometime you'll see like, one of the later Jakks TTL Series featuring Randy Orton and Batista or whoever, and you'll see the seller has the date on it as 1999, which would be the date listed on the bottom on the boot. Boxes meanwhile will have up to date copywrites and all that jazz.
Do you perchance have anything in the ways of a set up? Like a loose ring with figures?

Unfortunately I do not have the room for a display. I can barely fit another pencil in the room and garage where they are stored. I could show you some pictures of boxes and loose items, LOL. I cannot begin to find enough boxes and tubs that will hold all of the rings.

Obtained from the UK, this Series 6 figure of HHH's card does not match the remainder of the series colors, as The Rock figures from Series 5. He is now HHH instead of Hunter Hearst Helmsley as The Rock changed from Rocky Maivia.

I have re-downloaded the photos as best as I could find them. There are likely some missing, but I will add them when I have a chance to filter through everything. I hope you enjoy them again.

Fascinating read, thanks for posting your collection. I had no clue half of those were produced. I thought these went away shortly after Jakks came out.

JUSTOYS WWF MICRO BEND 'EMS KEYCHAINS -
Hi. Not sure if this is the right forum... Can anyone tell me anything about these keychains? I have a full set from 1999 including X-Pac, Road Dog, Val Venis, B.A. Billy Gunn, The Rock, Kane,Steve Austin and Undertaker.
I'm unable to find out anything about them at all. I checked EBay, and there was a set that sold in England for about $100 U.S., but it was incomplete and didn't have much information.
I can provide photos if that helps!
I appreciate anything anyone can tell me. Thanks
