I wish WWE or Tonka (I think tonka used to make them, are they even still in business?) would make more old school WWF wrestling buddies. I used to own the Ultimate Warrior and Macho King buddies and could never find the Hogan one anywhere. I wish I hadn't sold them on eBay a couple of years ago and am tempted to buy them again. Who else used to own, or still has a few of them? Just saw a guy on twitter was making some custom ones. This Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart one is pretty cool:  |

An old friend had Hogan and Warrior and I was always jealous... My brother and I got the WCW versions, DDP and nWo Macho Man. I was thinking about getting their new ones out of nostalgia but they are $35 and my nostalgia side can't pull that cash right now...

That guy isn't a great seamstress... And he used markers... Yeah, I am not a seamstress at all but know that looks shotty. Almost like he took the original Big Bossman and turned it inside out. Between this and seeing the new ones (they're maybe 12" at best), I am glad I still have the Warrior and Bossman ones. |

My bro has or had the Hogan one. I have the Cena brawling buddy.  I wanted to buy the Sheamus one on Monday, but ended up just buying his shirt. |

I had the Ultimate Warrior - though as that was the time of Bret Hart headlining, that poor buddy had his leg worked over A LOT. My mum had to do a repair stitching job on that leg, but she didn't mind as she thought his shoes were cute  I still have him sat on the edge of the sofa in the TV room. |

I had Warrior, Hogan, and Bossman as a kid. My mother sold Bossman at a yardsale like 10 years ago and I haven't forgiven her for it. I still have Hogan and Warrior and I keep them on my bed.  |

I remember WWF Wrestling Buddies from Tonka best from Look Who's Talking Too.

I had two.
I don't even remember who the one was anymore or even whatever even happened to him.
The other was Macho Man Randy Savage and he and My Pet Monster were my own personal jobbers back when we had a trampoline way back when.
You think the Canadien Destroyer is gimmicky and stupid? You should've seen some of the shit I hit Mach with.

When I was a teenager I wanted a Trish Stratus one. Of course, they'd have to change the fabric to something that doesn't stain.

WWF had some during the Attitude Era with hard plastic heads. I specifically recall the Road Warriors.
