I haven’t posted here in a long time and I can’t believe there is still no add link tab for photos but if anyone is curious the new Netflix McMahon documentary in episode 3 shows the doink stretch wrestler from just toys in the package (2 of them). It is when diesel is playing with his own stretch figure at a toy fair/show. I posted a pic on Facebook rubber rumble page and wrestling figure anonymous.
Good chance there is a few floating around out there.

I don't really recall this line at all, no doubt it didn't see the light of day in the UK. |

JusToys were fairly ubiqious in my area, especially series 1-5, and I never saw the stretch wrestlers anywhere. I had a Bret that I got from a brother's friend who got it at a house show. I imagine they didn't take off or didn't get many distributors agreeing to carry them, which may have caused all but Bret and Diesel to get stopped. |

Amazing that Bret head is more realistic than anything Mattel ever did.

Something I just now noticed: the ring depicted on the package is yellow (similar enough to the Hasbro KOTR ring). I wonder if there was ever a plan or if it was just a random design choice.

A few razors and Diesels have surfaced over the years (only seen them loose a few times for sale) but to my knowledge Doink has not. |

If I remember correctly, Justoys lost the license rights and playmates took over and they released their own Line of stretch figures in similiar size and style and some came with title belts with their names on them (Bret, Shawn, Sid, Lex, undertaker). The playmates were readily available at kaybee toy stores and were shelf warmers. |
