I've noticed that while wrestling figs pop up here occasionally, they typically don't get a lot of love. While I'll be the first to admit that I cannot sit through an episode or WWE Raw or Smackdown these days, I will be the first to admit that I LOVED and STILL LOVE wrestling, especially what we got during the golden eras of the 80's and 90's. So when I ran into two of my favorites of all time as a kid growing up on my lunch break...I HAD to have them....
This outfit was easily my favorite that the Undertaker ever sported. I loved the "Phantom of the Opera" look that his mask brought to it, and it's easy to see the inspiration that it played in "his half-brother Kane's" later mask designs. I missed out on this look when it was done by Jakks Pacific, and I had no clue that Mattel was re-doing it, so to find this one was literally a dream come true...
Randy Savage was easily my favorite wrestler growing up as a kid. I used to run around the house, trying to impersonate that one of kind voice of his while wearing any pair of sunglasses I could find, and I can't tell you how many times I jumped off my couch onto my wrestling buddy emulating that devastating elbow drop. When he died a few years ago, it really shook me hard (I remember actually breaking down a bit in sadness,) because if there was one guy I wanted to see make a comeback to wrestle Cena or the Rock...it was him. He was truly a one of a kind performer. It's a sham that he hasn't made the WWE Hall Of Fame yet, and yet Koko B. Ware and Donald Trump has. I have his Macho King entrances figure that came out shortly before his death, but to find one in his Wrestlemania 8 attire when he defeated Flair for the belt...Ooooohhh...Yeah!!!
Now if Mattel would only give us an Owen Hart figure. I'd jump through whatever hoops they'd require to get one. Sorry for my nostalgic rant there, I guess it's safe to say I was pretty excited about these.
