The Complete History of WWF (WWE) Playmates Figures (1997)

In 1997, three toy companies held the rights to produce WWF (WWE) Figures: Just Toys, Jakks Pacific, and Playmates Toys. Most collectors gloss over this line because it only lasted for a year. Playmates Toys WWF figures included 2" cartoony and caricature style figures, larger posed toys, stretchin' toys, and a 14" Talking Undertaker. In this video we cover all of Playmates figure offerings for the WWF, the unreleased toys, and the strange turn the line takes at the end!

Hiii. If you voted on the poll for Bone Crunching Action, its in production. I don't want to give you a half assed BCA video, so I am going to put some extra time in before dropping it on the channel. In the meantime, here's a whole-assed video for WWF's Playmates Toys Figures! Also, I've challenged myself to do something I've never done: releasing a new video every Friday for the next 8 weeks! Here's a preview for the next three: 8/14/2020: The Complete History of WWF (WWE) Playmates Figures (1997) 8/21/2020: Complete History of ToySite (BDA) Toy Company 8/28/2020: Complete History of Jazwares' Mortal Kombat Figures 9/4/2020: The Top 10 Best Sting Action Figures!

That 2017 crossover made me smile good to see then not going out of business and that TMNT crossover was nice way to comeback

[@thebaker525]

As weird as their figures were due to the limitations of the license, Playmates’ likenesses and sculpts bodied Jakks’ efforts, really impressive stuff for 1997.

This is a collection I wouldn't mind obtaining. The classic wrestling figures from playmates grudge match figures. I definitely want that Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Two of my all-time favorite wrestlers.

[@stevenimeson902]

[@rickiebradshaw3695]

I remember when I was a little My mom got me the playmates 3-in psycho Sid from our local KB toys in the mall. Oh good times.😊

[@nicolemerrill9167]

I had that Shawn Michaels bendys but I still have my bret hart

[@KJ-tz7vc]

The Grudge Match rings work nicely with M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.

[@orinanime]

I was just thinking that

[@8389zepeda]

Do a video about the wwf mini they come with 6 figures a ring and cage

[@erikduchamp512]

I love them all!

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

I would LOVE the Owen/HBK and Stone Cold/ Hitman grudge match packs... ah well

[@Choom89]

Hahah I had totally forgot about these!

[@Bbender690]

Sid was wwf champ

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

The stretch wrestlers looked a lot worse than the horrid ones produced by LJN in 85-86.

[@rayvenkman2087]

Weird that the one wrestler with the Ringmaster gimmick doesn’t get a figure in the Ringmasters line.

[@eljojosstyle8811]

Jaja Great

[@nolanweston5439]

I’m going to get um all

[@84slaughter]

I Own A Completely Molded Ringmasters Vader And The Playmates Line Is One Of My Favorites! Having This Vader Makes Me Wonder If There Was Any Unreleased Grudge Match Sets? Maybe A Mero vs Helmsley, Bulldog, Rocky Maivia, Patriot...

[@FigureCollections]

I have a picture from an old magazine with Undertaker in the Grudge Match line. You can only see his lower half, but it shows the purple kick-pad sleeve things rather than the all black attire. I didn't include it in the video because I couldn't find a full picture, but just know that version of the figure was/is out there!

[@84slaughter]

@@FigureCollections Anyway You Could Send Me That Pic? I Gotta Find That Prototype!
