L. J N wrestling superstar figures. The seventies was an era that was ruled by small action figures that resembled the characters of Star Wars and G. I. Joe. However, Theeighties was all about wrestling figures. L J N wrestling figures to be more specific. These eight inch heavy duty rubber figures were almost twice the size of the highly sought after small action figures of the seventies. Unlike most of the action figures from the seventies, DLJ and wrestling figures did not come with a whole host of accessories. Instead, most of them include Onley, a hat or cane. In a way, the L J N figures were in action figures, yet they were more popular than any figures before or after them. The most prized asset among boys in the eighties, the L. J N wrestling figures, are highly valued collectibles for today's grown adults. While wrestling was watched by people across the U. S. Before this time, it was in the eighties that the sport really kicked off in the country. This was all thanks to the introduction of the WWF and the advent of wrestling figures such as the LJ and wrestling superstars. These were the two main reasons for the surge in popularity of pro wrestling. In the eighties eighties, kids will remember what the LJ and wrestling figures meant to the fans of the World Wrestling Federation WWF. At that time, the fans, especially young kids, would watch the televised fights of the WWF and then recreate the fight scenes using their LJ and figures. L J N was contracted in 1984 by Titan Sports, the owner of the WWF, to produce the first ever pro wrestling figures. These figures were a toy representation of the real life WWF superstars such as Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. The figures were made out of solid rubber, and they were an instant hit with the kids and even some adults. Seeing the growing popularity of these figures, L. J N started to produce wrestling figures one after the other. Many of these figures are a collector's gold today. The reason for the massive popularity of the LJ and figures in the eighties was that the kids of the time saw these figures as much more than action figures to play with. For many kids, these figures were a representation of their role models Therefore, it wouldn't be far fetched to say that the LJ and wrestling figures have played a role in shaping the personality of people who grew up in the eighties.
