#710 HASBRO'S WWF - BAM BAM BIGELOW, UNDERTAKER #2 and YOKOZUNA (1994)


Bam Bam Bigelow (Scott Charles Bigelow): Bam Bam Bigelow is a figure which is evry appretiated among collectors. It is based on the cast made for Typhoon and Earthquake, but the decoration is quite amazing with all those tattoos in the arms and the nice colours used in his outfit, that makes it look very different from every other figure.






Undertaker #2 (Mark William Calaway): The Undertaker has always being very popular, so, as I said in the previous entry, it is interesting for Hasbro to keep it always available. In this case, and since the Undertaker has used during his whole career the same outfit (or almost) this figure is identical to #1 (series 4) except for the colour of his hair, which is darker. This figure does not have purple eye rims (unlike the mail-away version) and to “disguise” it a little bit it came with a very nice coat. This coat is quite difficult to find, since it was removed to play with the figure and many tore or went lost.

Yokozuna (Rodney Agatupu Anoa’i): And another figure which had a new cast is this Yokozuna. The cast is completely new, although the action feature is quite boring, and has been seen in many figures in the previous waves. I like this fact, but I can’t remember having seen Yokozuna in action. At the time it was one of the wrestlers who was doing more shows, so it is understandable that Hasbro decided to release it. It would be later re-released in a #2, that you can see in entry #375.
