Vintage He-Man and WWF action figures

Today proved to be the day for 80s books and toys! 


Growing up I never played with He-Man (my BFF had an extensive She-Ra collection!) or WWF wrestlers but they always intrigued me ~Junkyard Dog seemed pretty cool! I'm always on the look out for cool vintage books and toys for my 5 year old son. When I spotted these wrestlers and He-Man books I knew he would enjoy playing with them. 

I paid $5 for the figures and $1 for both books!

Titan Sports Inc / LJN Inc is the maker of these 80s WWF wrestling figures. This toy manufacturer also produced toys based on popular cartoon shows like Voltron and Thundercats neither of which I ever watched!

 These are actual rubber figures which bounce when you bounce them on the floor. There was also a ring that they sold for them to wrestle in. 

"Macho Man" Randy Savage circa 1986

King Harley Race circa 1987

Bam Bam Bigelow circa 1988

Jake "The Snake" Roberts circa 1987

Stare down!

Pile on!

They are definitely not in mint condition but perfect for a 5 year old and his baby sister to play with!


These were tonight's bedtime stories!


Until we thrift again...

  1. I just showed this post to Harold, he recalls having a He Man figure which when you tapped it on the chest it would show injury.
