Hulks Rock n Wrestling/ Goonies r Good Enough interest?

[zen411]

I'm just curious if there is enough interest in a Rock n Wrestling era line.

Rock n wrestling was what got me into Wrestling back in the 80s. Around wrestlemania 1 when wwf made mainstream pop culture. In addition to a two part Cyndi Lauper Goonies video on MTV. Most are under deals and some may still be under a deal or could be signed with some luck. Just wondering if there would be enough interest and which looks or figures you would like. Stylized cartoons? Attires/pirate gear from the video. More realistic looks from wwf events from that era? Special packaging?

Already signed
Hulk Hogan
Nikolai Volkoff
Capt Lou
Iron Shiek
Roddy Piper
Andre the Giant
Wendi Richter
Big John Studd

Possibly still signed
Blassie
Junkyard Dog

Needs to be signed or brought back
Tito Santana
Cyndi Lauper
Mr Fuji

Likely not included
Snuka
Moolah

I’d buy Piper, Snuka, Hogan, Studd, JYD & Iron Sheik if they looked like the cartoon. One of my only regrets was back in the day I had 3”(?) eraser figures of the cartoon that I gave to my cousins with my LJN, Hasbro, Remco, GI Joes and Megos. I wish I hadn’t done that.

I’d probably only buy Fuji.
Maybe Volkoff

And only if they’re elite style

[Flair Forever]

I think Superstars is the "cartoonish" line for the moment....

But when that runs its course, this would be a cool line for Mattel to explore!

I just don't see them running both lines at the same time....

I’d buy them all, it’s the only era of wrestling I watched religiously and still watch to this day.

I'd absolutely love this. Would buy them all. Prefer superstars form but I'd buy elite as well.

When i think of the rock n wrestling cartoon I think ljn style figures. Would be a great way for mattel to test that market. Big rubber guys has been a huge success. Mattel could fill some gaps that they can’t do

I would LOVE a dedicated Hulk Hogan’s Rock n Wrestling line. It really shouldn’t be straight elite, Superstars style could work though. But I’d personally prefer an animated-Neca style figure. Either way, the charm will also be in the 80’s style unique packaging.

I REALLY want this too! 80’s nostalgia for the win!

That’s fun, but LJNs (number 1 by a mile) and Hulk Hogan’s Rock n Wrestling (number 2) definitely hold more nostalgia appeal for me.

Make 'em all and make 'em Walmart exclusives.

Please don’t jinx it!

[TheHitmanKid]

I would buy a Moolah and Snuka Elite.

A pretty cool artist made some limited runs of these. They seemed pretty perfect for display but obviously they weren’t licensed:

That reminds me of the Neca Toony Terrors line.

I think there would be a lot of crossover appeal for a Rock n Wrestling line. I'd be most likely to buy if they were Elite form factor and not overly stylized/cartoony like those. I could see people buying them in the Superstars form factor as well.

These would be so cool to have, I loved the cartoon back in the day … I would definitely buy JYD but would probably come away with the entire set once I seen them in person …. Great idea

I don’t recall Randy Savage, Mr Fuji or Mean Gene being in the cartoon & who is that in the yellow suit & hat beside of Piper?

Mr. Fuji, Mean Gene, and Bobby Heenan (yellow suit) were definitely in it. Not sure about Macho Man.
