did any Hilly Billy Jim Figures release with black shirt? I remember having both, red and black, ( As a kid, I would always look for the Rickey Steamboat with Red Pants, and never found one, I know why now! lol
Awesome video!! I remember staring at the back of the packaging with my brothers wondering if the Bulldogs would ever be in stores and totally calling out that Mr.Wonderful painted like Brutus!
man, my brother and i had almost all of the ljn figures as kids in the 80s my dad always spoiled us because he had nothing growing up while his grandmother raised him and his mom worked 2 jobs my folks bought a bigger house in 1996 when i was 16, we threw out a bunch of stuff that was just gathering dust in the basement and moved to the other house all the ljn figures got tossed in the trash, had the ring too
@@FigHeel - thanks, regardless of the tech issue the video was highly enjoyable. I liked and watched the whole thing. Also the vehicles set with figures I believe was for the cartoon show at the time, Hogan's car is the same from the toon.
I had to google who this Matt Cardona was. Got all the cool prototype figures and all. Zack Ryder the WWE wrestler? Pretty cool. However, I met a guy who has a collection that would rival Cardonas. He had one of those Jimmy Hart prototypes with the painted shoes and all. He had so many mint condition and brand new LJNs that it would blow your mind. He had at least 4 times the amount of LJN figures that Matt Cardona has. Im talking at least 5 or 6 copies of every figure in mint condition and all of them brand new in cases. Not to take away any thunder from Cardonas amazing collection, but my boy big Ron could show ya'll a thing or two.
Yeah I don’t think Matt’s known as much for his LJNs moreso the overall presence of prototypes in his collection. I think I know your buddy too. Great pieces!
I don't know. I've seen some huge LJN collections that would put your buddy's to shame. I only have one complete set of LJNs loose mint, but I also have dozens of other complete toylines from the 80s and I know people who have even more massive collections. It's nothing to really brag about, to come on here and say your buddy would show up other collectors and show them a thing or two when some LJN collectors have multiple complete sets MOC and multiple prototypes and even prototypes of LJN WWF lines that were never even released that are way more impressive than a Jimmy Hart prototype.
@@FTW54 He sold it to me, but not for $45k. It was a package deal that also included the unreleased Gene Okerlund prototype (which was the one I wanted most) and an Andre the Giant unpainted prototype / sales sample.
Awesomeness video! I just want to make one correction, Haku was originally pictured in his King Haku attire, and was changed yes, but it was not to represent the Islanders (although the Islanders did in fact wear these tights) he was changed into his colossal connection attire. I would estimate that 99% of even the most hardcore LJN collectors and admirers make this mistake! But Haku did in fact wear these tights as one half of the Colossal Connection, whom were the WWF tag team champions when the black card series hit the toy stores.
Cool video. Enjoy stuff like this a lot. I never had any ljn's I can remember. I grew up on the Hasbro's for sure. I like the rubber figure idea for playing with them. To bad the paint wears off though. Def need to hold a few just to feel them out.
Back in the day we didn't care about the paint wearing off. These were played with out in mud holes, creeks, and cleaned up during matches in the bath tub. The paint held up pretty good though.
The paint wear is actually pretty easy to clean up. All you need to do is put on some similar colored paint on the scuffed area, slap on some Modge Podge on those areas and then wait for it to dry. I don’t know about scuffs on the face though
Hey @figheel have you found the new ultimate edition fiend and hulk hogan in the wild yet? I found them both at target just sitting there omg it felt like Christmas! Just wondering cause I don’t think you have a review on them.
@@FigHeel The pose is the same, however, the figure itself is bulkier, similar to the first Mean Gene. I wouldn't be surprised if they were reviewed at the same time and were told to slim both characters down. The first Jimmy hart also has rims around his shades.
No Barbarian because Powers of Pain were in the midst of going solo, so McMahon had to shift gears. And no Smash because of royalty issues, so McMahon cancelled him.
