For those of you who may not know, WWF Wrestling Buddies were plush toys made from Tonka. You had Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Ted Dibiase, Randy Savage, The Legion of Doom, Big Bossman, and Jake Roberts. I use to own the first three. I'll admit, if I ever see those things again, I'd be ever so tempted to play with them. Here's a commercial BTW....

I didn't have any of the older ones from WWF but I did have three WCW ones that came out in the late 90s. They were hte ones that made the sond effects. I had Hollywood Hogan, DDP, and Sting.
I can't find a commercial for it on youtube but they were called Bashin Brawlers or something like that and looked just like the old WWF ones only they had sond effects.

I remember seeing the Sting wrestling buddy on TV and stuff, but my mom could never find one for me. I actually would've loved to have had a Sting and Ric Flair wrestling buddy growing up. Hell, I'd still love to have 'em.

I had Sting, Flair, and Luger but never even heard of the Sid one. I vaguely remember looking for it when I was younger but never being able to find it. The only place that carried the WCW ones in my neck of the woods was Best. |

I have a Macho King Wrestling Buddie I had one too. A funny story, in Every Man Has His Price Dibiase mentions how one of his kids (I think Brett) was confused when he learned that not all children had a plush toy version of their fathers. |

I have my Hulk Hogan still.
My friend had a Jake Roberts and through years of use all the plush from the arms had migrated to the midsection, leaving the buddy with small arms and a big gut. Coincidence-I think not.
