Thank you for Hay-making, Half-Nelsoning, and Boston-Crabbing with us on a Saturday teatime with Dickie Davies 🙂
Footstool notes:
- Vintage Toy World Wrestling Championship
- Thanks Mean Machine, you would have made an excellent pro-wrestler if it hadn’t been for that pesky Judge Dredd
TVTA apologies for its poor imitation of 1990s pre-match wrestling threats. Wooof ate far too many cat energy biscuits while reading his latest copy of The Cat Fanciers Furball Monthly while at the same time keeping one eye on a failed weekend binge of WCW on VHS. Normal service will be resumed as soon as we clean up the mess, rewind the tapes, and get back from Blockbusters.

My sons had a few of these when they were kids in the 90s. I can’t remember which ones though.

My brother had a few of these when we were younger. I always thought they were a bit cheap compared to the WWF figures cause they didn’t move and that made them kinda pointless for me…

I wonder if they were sold any cheaper because of the lack of articulation?

My brother certainly bought them cheap. I think, though my memory may be a bit foggy, he could near enough get two for the price of the WWF ones in the place we got them (long time ago!)

I just added another catalogue page to the post showing the 14 inch figure versions which did have some points of articulation. Also a kid-size replica championship belt.

1-2-3 We have a winner!! TVTA Wins! TVTA Wins! Great post man, this one made ma knees knock and ma liver quiver, if you wiilll! (Sorry, that was a poor attempt at a Dusty Rhodes impression!) I still own a few WCW figures (yes even now) including the Icon Sting! The figures I mentioned on another thread may have been just regular action figures but were made of a rubberised bendable plastic as opposed to fully articulated versions, but I’m glad you found adverts for these…they bring back great memories of Monday Night Nitro and the craziness of sports entertainment. Thank you, the Tag Team Advert Champions of the World!!!! TVTA and WOOOF!!

I have watched many an hour of wrestling and Pay-Per-View specials! I loved the likes of Gorilla Monsoon and JR Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler! And for the WCW fans Tony Schiovani all great commentators.

These are great. I think I’d set out for the Arn Anderson and Rick Steiner/Dogface Gremlin (lol) ones! I was a WWF boy, so only really know of their figures. Their figures at this time were more cartoony but I think they had a similar ring set.

Hi Jacob, yes they’re pretty cool. Funny I was going to use Dogface Gremlin as my main pic but opted for the photo collage instead.
