#1027 HASBRO'S WWF – MARTY JANNETTY, GIANT GONZALEZ, FATU, SAMU, BUTCH, LUKE, RAZON RAMON and SHAWN MICHAELS (1994)

I was missing the entry (or entries) for the 10th wave of Hasbro´s Official WWF. There are 11 waves in total (as we have numbered them), and I have covered 1-9 and 11 already. Let´s close this now (although we would come back to talk about the mail-aways and other rare stuff).

There were 8 or 10 figures included in this group, all sold in individual blisters although there were two tag teams. 8 or 10 because 2 figures (Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels) were released in two different versions, either the re-release of the figures in wave 7 or two new alternate versions of them, which are currently very rare. Since I already showed the standard versions, in this entry I will only show the two new ones.

The blister color was blue and most models were available until recently to be bought online, but that batch has already been sold and the prices are again very high.

As usual, I will put the pictures of the figures now. One picture “in action”, plus pictures of the figure itself.

 Marty Jannetty:

I find this figure a bit boring, the action move was used many times before and it has almost no distinctive features. Nice coloured trunks, but nothing else.

      

Giant Gonzalez:

This is my favorite figure here, it has a cool action move and also represents a very peculiar fighter. The figure looks great, even better than the actual wrestler.

Samu & Fatu of the Headshrinkers:

 

This interesting Tag Team have the most similar figures ever, because they perform the same action move and they are almost identical. Only some details or colours are mirrored from one figure to the other.

       

      

Butch and Luke of the Bushwackers:

       

Interestingly The second version of the famous tag team of wave 2 have exchanged bodies and came with two plastic caps, which are very difficult to find.

       

Razor Ramon (only new re-decoration):

In this case, instead of red, a dark purple is use, what makes the figure a bit more menacing.

   

Shawn Michaels (only new re-decoration):

This version changes white to black and silver. At the time Shawn Michaels was not a “good” character anymore, but had changed its profile to a darker character.
