If you are of a certain age, you remember the LJN WWF Figures that came out on the 1980s. You had Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Mr. Fuji, and of course the Macho Man Randy Savage. A few years back the fellas over at CollectMajor.com created figured paying homage to that style. They created Big Rubber Guys! This toy line has helped fill in the missing pieces of who never got a figure from that timeline and even added to it with some wrestling stars from today like Danhausen and All Ego Ethan Page. Of course the Founders of the line have had figures themselves put into the line, at first as proof of concept. They are even partnered with All Elite Wrestling with some great figures announced today for preorder from AEW at ShopAEW.com.
Why am I talking about all this when this is primarily a baseball fan advocacy blog? Major Collect has a licensing deal with MLB to make Big Rubber Guys! And guess who is leading it off?
Mr Met! Also is his arch rival The Phillie Phanatic. And not to mention the Cincinnati Reds Mach Man Randy Savage who was drafted by the Reds to play baseball. More details coming soon.
