I remember sleeping with the Ultimate warrior and macho man under my pillow my dad wouldn’t buy me the Elizabeth doll and I remember staying at my grandparents and grandma told me to look behind the sofa and there was a bag with loose figures of miss Elizabeth Bobby Heenan and some others good times

Phenomenal videos man. Im 41 and your videos are my childhood preserved. Truly great production on your vids!

Dude, this is phenomenal. I grinned like a kid throughout the whole thing.

Great flashback. I had so many of these. I used to love watching Prime Time wrestling when Heenan and Monsoon would have the figures out on their desk for display.

I remember Christmas 1986 fondly. 2 months prior, I got started with the Remco AWA line. Then Christmas happened. Got the ring, Hogan, Piper, and Iron Sheik. After opening the 3 figures, I immediately stripped Hogan of the title and awarded it to Roddy Piper. Every New Years Eve when we would go to my aunt's, I had cards I would do for each set for the end of the year. Good times, great memories.

I put white tape around my Bob orton figure, and had it on so long i couldn't get it off later on, long live the cast!

I still remember that rubber smell these things gave off when they were freshly opened. With all the craze of “retro” releases, I’m surprised Mattel hasn’t reissued these. Their current releases of the old Hasbro line were very well received.

I never realized, these head sculpts are very good , and being 1985/86 at that.

I just got my LJN Hulk Hogan in the mail today! I love it!!

I was in attendance that fateful evening in Boston for my 11th birthday gift, and remember seeing the ringside cameraman showing off the foreign object Macho man used, to drill Tito between the eyes for the IC title, and I LOVED THESE ACTION FIGURES!!!

Man, I still have the Hulkster 84 figure!!!! Thank you 4 the good memories sir. Great video.

I love the "Something to Wrestle" comments! Great video.

I sold my collection of LJN figures a couple months back. Really enjoyed them for years. Iconic toys!!

Fantastic review. Your recreations of all those classic moments especially the Terry Funk pildedriver attack were more entertaining than the current WWE product.

Yours are in great shape. While the figures couldn't be broken, the paint tended to peel off (Piper was especially bad) and they also tended to get scuff marks on them.

Remember the Thumb Wrestlers!! Love those too and still have some of those as well.

Awesome video. Thanks for saying Macho man is the best. He's my favorite wrestler of all times 😎

As a kid I had the first couple of line ups when they came out. I remember always noticing the photos on the back card didn't always match up to what was sold. The back card showed Piper with the Panther Shirt and the Sheik's pants were much more detailed. I also remember using a red magic marker to create blood on the wrestlers faces. I wonder if anyone else ever did that as a kid. Since the figures were rubber the red marks would just wipe right off. Those figures were so simple yet so much fun.

The Freddie Blassie and Mr. Fugi likenesses were spot on!

Not sure how ended up here but so glad i did. This video was just delightful.

Love the "something to wrestle" catch phrases.

thank you so much. great memories as a kid this was one of my passions. Also, the part where you bring up Randy Savage winning the ICC belt. I was at that match in the old Boston Garden with my Dad. Dad goodnaturedly tolerated my love for wrestling, himself only getting a laugh out of it and the joy of making me happy. Dad is gone now so is Randy and the old Boston Garden, but the memories will live in my heart forever. thank you for this awesome trip to my childhood.

Ljn WWF wrestling figures are the bomb I still have my

Yup definitely remember these. These were my go to toys as a kid. I had damn near all of them. Each one came with a poster. My room was a wallpaper of those posters.

crazy how much fun these were and they didnt even move!

This was a great episode for the all time LJN Figures and my Favorite All time Figure Mr.Wonderful Paul Orndorff and the most watched Saturday Night Main Event split screen match blue steel cage

Great review! After Transformers and Voltron these were my favorite toys as a kid. I actually remember sleeping with my Macho Man and Hart Foundation figures lol.

After Wrestlemania 4, I constantly had tournaments with my figures. I'd write their names on pieces of paper, then put them in a bowl and create brackets. Hours of fun!

I loved this way more than I should've. I had a good handful of these growing up and this really took me back. This was very well done. Thank you.

Damn I loved this video just as much as I loved the 80's and 90's WWF

I like your "playing" with the toys scenes. It's unique, and has a nostalgic charm to it.

Really enjoyed this! Thank you! So many memories. I got my first LJN on Christmas day 1985, it was the junkyard dog. I was 5, been hooked ever since. 2 thumbs up for your video! 👍👍

Wow,this was a killer review bro,it took me back when I was a kid in the 80'S,watching and playing with my figures every Saturday morning, the Macho Man is my favorite,enjoy Wrestlemania tonight. #fistbump

When I was 5 or 6 in 1987 I had to get tubes put in my ears, when I woke up after the procedure, my mom had a present for me, I opened the bag to reveal a Kamala wrestling guy, it was awesome, the best gift ever... great video bro !

Great memories. I’ve been watching some old WWE matches and it’s insane how much more into it the crowds were. Fans were still marks. No body cheered heels, no signs, and trash would fly into the ring when the heel was on top. It was weird to see cops at shows to, like it was possible fans would try to get at the heels.

Awesome video ! We it's posted our LJN collection as well.

The ref arm shake at 14:26 before the 3 count 😂😂😂I did that all the time!

Great great video. I was hoping to find a video of these figures and your video perfectly hit the spot. I still have some of those figure and I will always remember getting the Ultimate Warrior for Christmas

I had almost every figure in 84-86 I played with WWF dolls all day

I'm from Brantford, Ontario... Had this video playing in background, heard the name of the city and and to stop what I was doing, rewind a bit and make sure I heard it! LOL

That Mamra toy figure at the left side in your collection, blow my mind.

I enjoyed your Something to Wrestle references and the amount of figures you had. I have a box of them hidden away. Kudos Adam 911Reviews

Orndorff, Bundy, Macho man and Volkoff were my favorite figures

Dude, u made my ass laugh so hard when you recreated the wrestling matches with your wrestling figures and you had to slam your hand three times in the middle of the Ring kids nowadays do not have much imagination to play with toys as we used to in the 80s we need to have an imagination to recreate matches with our toys or in my case I used to have GI Joes wrestle with silverhawks action figures cuz my parents couldn't afford wrestling action figures back then I definitely enjoyed your videos keep doing what you're doing this was awesome thanks for the memory

Great editing! Love my collection. Always on the lookout for more!

These are cool, but I was lucky enough to be a kid in the sixties, with the awesome 12" GI Joe figures, with the articulated shoulders and hips.... un-matched!

One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Wish I would have kept all these. I had about 80% of these.. Nice man.. Keep up the awesome content

I know this is an old video but just discovered it. Excellent! This was very cool especially with the video clips spliced all throughout. Cheers

I remember coloring Valentine's hair with a black magic marker to coincide with his rhythm and blues run! Good times!

Great work, worth every bit of praise in these comments.... Love the Brantford, Ontario shout out too!!

My favourite toys from childhood when I was WWF obsessed!

Those were my world from 1986 until the Hasbro figures came out in the late 80s or early 90s. I had about 40 of the LJN rubber figures and about 50 of the Hasrbo ones with a few of the WCW figures that were about the same size. I remember going to Towers to look at toys and every LJN tag team set had the two belts missing because some kid had cut into the plastic and taken them. To be honest, that's what I was going to do, dammit!

JYD had the best "pose" of all the LJN figures. You could really pull off a power slam with him. Whereas Corporal Kirschner or Jesse the Body Ventura had horrible poses that you couldn't do anything with which is why they rarely got played with. I remember these were about $7.99 each.

"You good to me and I'll make sure he's good to you" "I think that your time is done. And I think that the spotlight should go on top of me. Yeah!" Freaking classic!!! Missed the 80's and that era of wrestling. The best times EVER!!!

Very enjoyable video. I'll never forget getting my first LJN. In second grade I had just started watching WWF and knew a few of the characters. A kid at school brought a JYD figure and I was immediately envious. I offered him the only currency I had back then, toads. Yup, toads that hop and eat bugs. I brought him a toad in my backpack and traded him for JYD. After that, I found additional figures under the Christmas tree or on birthdays and eventually had quite the line-up along with the ring as well. Along with my GI Joe figures, I spent a lot of time playing with these figures. Amazing toys and as you mentioned, nearly indestructible!

I bought the book based on that Wrestlemania cage match at a Book Fair in elementary school, and I only ever had one of those figures, specifically Jesse Ventura, and, of course, didn't have the ring. That was the reason I was so excited to be babysat by this one particular woman whose son had several of the figures and the ring.

Thank you so much for making this video. Every time someone talks about these figures they always say that they were terrible. That was not my experience. I loved collecting and playing with them. My friends and I always made tournaments. They were great.

That's my childhood right there!!! I've seen the Hulkster wrestle at least a dozen times

I want them all. I wish they did figures for Wendy Richter, Moolah, Lei Lani Kai, Sensational Sherri, Velvet MCIntyre, and Rockin Robin.

Fantastic trip down memory lane! I'm a bit disappointed that you never mentioned the iconic "Bring Home All the Action" tune that played during the commercial, but you redeemed yourself with "Unequivocally!" from Jack Tunney. 😂

Awesome figure recreations, super creative editing and originality!

"The man from the Double Cross Ranch, In Amarillo, Texas. Terry Funk!" Funk is one of my all time favorite wrestlers. Doesn't hurt that he's from my home town.

I had Hulk, Piper, Andre and my favorite, the Macho Man Randy Savage, Oh, yeah!!

LOLOLOLOLOL B Brian Blair "Humble" I love this!

I always consider the 1st "Series" the 1st FIVE advertised in 1984: Hogan/Snuka/Studd/Andre/Sheik. More where added, however those five where the 1st advertised for sale. I remember seeing the add at the time and wondering "Why no Piper?"

Just discovered your channel. Really love it. Awesome seeing some of the old toys I used to love. Keep them coming.

Man this video was awesome. I grew up with the hasbros but once picked up a Paul Ordorf on a car boot (like a swap meet) & discovered the LJN line. No idea they did so many. Love the Savage & Warrior 1. Grrat vid sir.

I used to live for these toys. They were the highlight of every xmas and birthday.

What a fun video. Playing with them to the video clips or audio had me in tears! Nice!

Absolutely loved this video. Such an awesome job in not just showing the products. Loved the commentary.

I loved these figures when I was a kid. I grew up in the 80’s and I had/ still have these figures. The paint is in awful shape but I had a ton of fun with them. I stopped getting them around the time the heart foundation came out. But, of all the toys of my childhood, these are my favourites.

5 years late to this video but it was so incredibly well done, great job. I would never have guessed the line was so big.

Great video. Loved your subtle jokes for marks. Definitely earned a like and subscribe.

I started watching wrestling in the late 80s but the toy shop near my house had the original first four series on clearance. I collected almost all originals. They came with a little poster.

That Figures! Ep 1: WWF LJN Wrestling Superstars Series 1

Great video! Always wondered why LJN didn’t make a Mr. T. figure. Although I had the B.A. figure, which was pretty much to scale. 😉 A lot of the later lines never came to the toy stores in and around my small New England town. I’d have loved to get Jake “The Snake”, Bam Bam Bigelow and the One Man Gang!

Thank you for this. It takes me back to my childhood.

One of the best toy lines. We used to try our hardest to destroy them, to no avail. Look awesome displayed too.

Brings back a lot of childhood memories. No longer did I have to pretend with He-Man figures, (or worse, the WWF trading cards) I could wrestle with the real characters. I remember we had the AWA wrestling ring that was made for smaller He-man like figures. A friend ending up breaking it and his grandmom replaced it with the WWF ring. Good times.

I love your references in this video ; Trust Jake the Snake is in the line and Humble Brian Blair, just to mention a few. Great videos.

Dude, I don't know how your video popped up in my recommendations, but I'm thrilled that it did. This REALLY bought me back. I'm a nostalgia guy, so much where I just finished writing my first book - where I go in depth on these very same toys - in one of my chapters lol. How in the hell did you keep them in such pristine condition?! I still own my collection and the wear/tear is very visible. Just threw the ring away a few years ago too (although I still have the cage). Nice job👍

What a great video!! So nostalgic! My cousin had all of these while I had the bendies. If you remember those? I am grinning through this whole video

I had a bunch of these when I was a little kid, I born in 85 so this perfectly matched my childhood/fandom. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

This was a great video! I gotta point out though, @4:35 instead of "solid steel" you definitely said "salad steel" and that gave me a damn good chuckle.

Great video, brings back good memories

I suspect they had plans to release a Demolition Smash figure too, but the mold was based on the original Smash (briefly portrayed by Moondog Rex and not Barry Darsow), so the figure was scrapped when Darsow was brought in as a replacement.

LJN figures will always be the BEST

OMG!!!! I had most of these in grade school. I loved them!

dude i really enjoy your videos

I felt like a kid again watching this

Wow memories , I had only about half of these but I did have the ring .

Thank you for the video. My childhood revisited. Good times.

Wow. There is something about nostalgia. I didn’t have any of the figures. But, those wrestling clips bring me back to Saturday mornings.

I was just looking for videos of people going through their collections and found this absolute masterpiece of rasslin' fun and history. I take my rubber hillbilly hat off to you, sir.

@MichaelMercy I apologize My Friend, I left a comment on one of the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE videos asking you to PLEASE do an LJN video! And I had to go searching, & THIS VERY VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE LJN KZfaq VIDEOS EVER!! I DID NOT put the name to the video, because it's been SO long, & so again Sir, I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE! Thank You for all the hard work! It's VERY VERY appreciated! I'm about to binge watch Your channel for the next 2 days!😂😂😂😂 I LITERALLY FOUND SOME VIDEOS THAT BROUGHT LEGIT TEARS TO MY EYES BROTHA! NOSTALGIA IS THE GREATEST DRUG EVER! CHEERS!👊🇦🇲

man...crash bang wallop what a video! I had almost all of these, used to put them in a bag and pull them out at random for royal rumbles. Survivor series was awesome. Macho and Hogan traded the world title about 500 times.

HI Mr.Mercy, I must say your videos brightens up my day, everything from your awesome little tricks, to amazing editing to really great narrating!! Big fan of old toys myself and wrestling and 80`s Movies and Tv shows so stumbling over your channel has been a mind blowing experience. Still have a few left until I have checked them all out!. This is my favourite video so far, I still have memories of watching the "-Bring home all the action" Commercial from WWF LJN and dreaming that one day that would be me or at least one day seeing them live in person!! And now in 2018 I and many more get to see them live in Oslo, Norway, for the first time ever, how crazy is that? I`m also a big fan of Thundercats, Transformers, He-man, GI Joe, ALF, Muppets and so much more Your channel covers. I have filled up my work office with some of my old toys and the colors alone makes me smile. Can`t wait to see what you come up With NEXT!! Also stay strong and work will come Your way, until then I will be watching everything you put up on this channel!!Take care,Rainer from Norway!!

That was one of the best matches I've ever seen

This video is wrestling history

Great collection a friend of mine really like wrestling he had all the figs. He even broke his ring with his king kong bundy he was so heavy. Great memories
