LJN Hogan. The first Wrestling Superstar I got, along with Piper, way back in the day. There were a million Hogans on the pegs and just by default, me and just about every other kid started out with Hogan. Even though I couldn't stand Hogan as a wrestler, I had to like the figure.
He's in a great pose ! Some of the Wrestling Superstars were in an awkward pose, I'm talking to you Rick Rude, but Hogan could punch and twist into moves pretty easily.

Then there's the Title Belt ! He came with the belt, and that just makes him cooler. The belt itself is pretty awesome. Durable rubber and detailed, it straps in the back with ease. My World Title belt was pretty hotly contested for !

Hogan was where my love of the LJN Wrestling Superstars began and til this day, they remain one of my all time favorite toys. When I got Greg Valentine, he kicked the crap out of Hogan and just about held the title until my Federation folded.
I said he was the first, but not the best ! I eventually customized Hogan into Barry Windham :)
Hulk Hogan was my favourite wrestling superstar during my childhood too :)
ReplyDeleteHogan is a classic and just about everyone had him !
DeleteThat title belt is the best! It outshines the Hogan figure. : )
ReplyDeleteYes ! The belt is so cool ! I just wish the Tag Team belts were more than the same belt in a different color mold, but I can't complain too much, the belt rocks !
DeleteNice! The belt just takes it to another level- greatness!
ReplyDeleteI know ! For a flexible peice of rubber it is pretty detailed !!
DeleteClassic!
ReplyDeleteI started to watch classic WWF matches with Isaac. He loves it!
Thats great ! I cant wait til my sons old enough to watch the classic stuff ... so much fun ! I want to be able to get him in like that before he watches the new stuff, which I'm not into .
