The History of The WWF Bend-ems Toy Line

Knox Knerdz takes a deep dive into the history of the often forgotten WWF Bend-ems toy line. This series of toys filled the gap between the Hasbro figures and the Jakks figures and continued on for fifteen series from 1994 to 2001.

Man that last part just made me want to give you a hug. I’m sorry childhood never gave you the toys you wanted, but that’s what adult collecting is for!

[@redroversk]

too expensive then, too expensive now lol

Doctor Silverballs was right; this is a criminally underrated well-made video.

[@Snorckl]

The major wf pod plugged this video lol. Great job.

[@petersanzone7183]

Great video, might have to start a collection! Major Bros sent me here!

[@jrb1240]

This brings back memories and nostalgia. I had the stone cold and mankind action figure when I was a kid

[@teamtrilobiterobotics3770]

This is such an underrated channel

[@_The_Worst_]

Whoa man...😮...this video was frickin' heIIa informative...🤘🏼💯✔️ Super great rundown on everything...👍🏼 Some of these figures are really awesome...👍🏼

[@wrestlingwithlukeandaaron4304]

Love this video , very thorough information, much appreciated, and a side note I have a rikishi and scotty 2 hotty bendem still moc

[@craignelson9045]

Love the first wave with Doink

[@denverdan4life]

Well done! With the major wrestling figure podcast creating their own bend-ems line, I bet you see a bunch of traffic to your video

[@riffsandwich9541]

This was great. Awesome editing. Had no idea there were all these bendems.

[@primoscollectibles8343]

I love that they're very similar to hasbro style

[@blankwavemessiah]

lol fucking ending......... damn you, right in the feels. Thats like me in middle school when I got a football to "practice" my best Priest Holmes" routes.

[@ajwf]

Great line, great vid... subbed

[@montyjavutich9302]

Beautiful video! One can tell alot of dedication went into this. These were never really arround in Germany (hasbros were) so I had alot of questions concerning the bendems. All cleared up now, thanks!

[@ajwf]

How’s distribution now days in Germany?

[@stevenimeson902]

hey nice video! yea that championship rereleases was info to me i have a shawn micheals moc , was wondering why this cool sketch wasnt on the package

[@redroversk]

I'd start an AEW Bendems collection if they made one, like the entire Dark Order as bendems

[@davecallaway3844]

Awesome video!!! but there were 17 micro bend ems. There's a Cactus Jack micro that was included in one of the attitude 4 packs

[@theallknighters]

Great video! My brother was all about the bendems. Well have to dig out our collection now and see what we got!

[@craignelson9045]

Would like to see you cover the wwf mini action ring line

[@FightOstinFight]

Great vid. I had the entire DX roster on card as a kid hanging on my wall. Wish I had held on to those.

[@logd27]

Great video JUICE MAKES SUGAR!

[@4thecollectors]

Good information the only thing I did like about the bendem line was the multiple characters and the lack of variations unlike WWF bca

[@jeremyburdge8573]

Awesome job on the video and i love the Bend-ems line as well as LJN,Jakks,Remco and others. I find the first run of BCA championship belts fit them nicely too. Also i think Justoys turned in to the Just Play that made the Lion Guard toys dude.

[@guydoriansr]

I am the OG of the WWF BENDEMS line for for Justoys. You can find my name on some of the character design art. Perhaps some props in your description could help others know? It would be kind and appreciated indeed. 😁

[@DropkickMurphysFan01]

Who's here from the Major Pod Network?

[@billblaski9523]

The stormtroopers are way different than the WWF ones tho. The WWF ones weren't posable, like would return to their original position right?

[@metalcoffie]

Excellent video! I am a bit surprised though, especially with briefly mentioning other lines and series, that you didn't bring up the old WWF LJN Bendies line from the mid 80's. Essentially the same thing as the Bend Ems, but with 18 stars from the Golden Era.

[@BobbyD520]

Ayo Broski and Myers sent me here.

[@ryanrantovich8308]

Always wanted too get all of these only got about 6 of them

[@orinanime]

Great video! How complete is your collection?

[@HandlebarOrionX]

Do they still bend after decades of being loose out the package?

[@cftvnetwork]

I have Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Taka Michinoku!!!!

[@orinanime]

I would love to send you the bendems and micro bendems I have in my collection. Do you have a PO Box or some way for fans to send you fanmail?

[@shortroundshthead2135]

I see series 15 on eBay right now for sale mmmm

[@joseortega7815]

My Bendems story is: I stole an X-Pac Bendem from the store, and I thought I was being slick. Idk how my Grandpa knew, but later on at home he came up to me and asked "Where did you get this?" And I confessed. He didn't hit me. He didn't yell at me. The look of disappointment was enough to make me feel terrible inside.

I can’t get the info anywhere.. Do you know what month the series 5 bend-ems were released in 1997? I’m trying to figure out if this line is the first figs of hhh, Steve Austin, & Rock

[@bonebreakingaction6815]

Major wrestling fig podcast is cool but did not seng me here. Whoa Dink that would have been great.

[@ajwf]

Would have been epic right

[@craignelson9045]

Crush (Brian adams) had alot of figures n he never was a top guy
