Corporal Kirshner has got to be up there. I got his figure trading with some other kid. Took me years and years to know who he was. I think every kid, even non-wrestling fans had that one. He looked like a big, rubber GI Joe so parents probably bought him. I had a neighbor who was not a wrestling fan and he liked GI Joe and in his basement he has a Kirchner. He didn't know who he was and had the toy in an area for stuff no one cared about. Gymini. Were only on TV for a total of two months, not counting them being taken off TV until after WrestleMania, before one of the twins got hurt. By the time their figures were in the stores, they were back in DSW and about a month or so away from being released. On that note, Dr. Death was in the WWF in 1998-1999 for maybe a couple of months combined when you remove his inactivity from being knocked out of the Brawl for All, but that was enough for a similarly infamous pegwarmer. The crazy thing about Dr. Death's toy is that it came out either right before or right around the time he came back doing the kabuki gimmick and working with JR as himself. It was like January or February 1999 so the toy had to be in the works for a bit. Typical Jakks cut corners with it, repainting a Mark Henry singlet. Dr. Death wore a pretty cool like cross looking singlet not like the Henry singlet.

I think people have misconstrued what the OP meant. Outback Jack started wrestling in 1986 & the LJN toy was made soon after in expectation of him being a star. While the Nailz toy was made for a relatively short lived gimmick Kevin Kelly/Thor, etc. Had been wrestling for years prior.

This has to be Gymini.
I'm pretty sure they're still hogging the shelves somewhere.

Did Cherry / Deuce and Domino have figures? Or the Dicks ? Cherry, Deuce and Domino did. Cherry's actually came out shortly after her release. Sadly, The Dicks and The Heartthrobs did not receive figures. I say sadly, because they would have given Gymini competition for worst selling toys of all time lol

Damn, that may be the happiest action figure I've seen. Looks like a Todd Chrisley and Pat Paterson fusion dance.

Colin Delaney had a cup of coffee on the WWE’s C-show (December 2007-August 2008) and not only got an action figure out it, but Jakks made a completely unique body mould specifically for his figure. Wild.

A rather big one: Ronda Rousey. As of now, her pro wrestling career lasted a year and she received several figures.
Mr. T has some Elite figures and a Funko Pop to go with his two Wrestlemania matches.
