#537 Wwf - Macho Human Being & Ax/Smash Hasbro's Knock-Offs (1991)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!
 

I lead maintain no consider where these figures came from. They are non marked at all, together with their character is quite low. However they are real overnice reproductions of the master copy Hasbro figures, together with this turns that slice of plastic inwards a rare collectable.

Probably they were imported from Red People's Republic of China inwards 1991, mayhap for the showtime pound/dollar/euro shops (at the time, inwards Spain, 100-pesetas-shop), although the solely 1 I owned was purchased at a street market.


These figures are made of a rather soft plastic, much softer than the average PVC figure. Of course of report the figure has no activeness move, but it is notwithstanding articulated (with classic ball joints). The paintwork is bad, but inwards almost cases respects the colours of the master copy Hasbro figure.



The pictures are taken together amongst the master copy Hasbro figure. Note that the bootleg is slightly shorter than the master copy one.

Most figures from moving ridge 1 addition a few ones from moving ridge 2 were reproduced. There are to a greater extent than or less 8 dissimilar figures made.


UPDATE (FEB/2017): I besides lead maintain the Ax figure from this bootleg series. Or is it Smash? I would nation the torso together with caput parts are based on Smash, but the hands added are those of Hulk Hogan, then at showtime sight, it may await to a greater extent than like to Ax than to Smash. I estimate the society behind these figures made merely a few casts. If they copied the arms of Hulk Hogan #1, it wouldn't had made whatever feel to re-create besides Ax's arms, since they are then similar.

I besides removed Red People's Republic of China every bit a province of origin, because it may besides live Spain...
