This was a massive upgrade on previous figures of both. We finally got an end of match Hogan with an exclusive headscan featuring sweaty hair. The only time Jakks used this headscan too. They updated it with an older end of match Hogan scan in the TNA 2 pack with Sting. They also updated rhe body sculpt here on Warrior compared to CS1 so not simply a repaint.
I never had this set. I had the original Warrior that this is a repaint of and it was a good figure but I agree that Hogan is as plain as they come. Hogan at WM VI was willing to do the job and put the Warrior over clean. Bret Hart sure wouldn’t put a guy over in Canada as we do know. Imagine if Hogan had been backstage and went to Vince and said “putting Warrior over, that’s not gonna work for me brother” the butterfly effect it would have caused in the wrestling world.
I do not like when the stats on the back that aren't accurate to the event the figures are based on. At WM 6, Hogan was introduced at 303 lbs and Warrior at 275 lbs. Hogan was 275 in WCW, but I have no idea where the 290 for Warrior came from.
Only got to see this match the New Years eve for free after this mania as they had moved wwe ppvs to Sky Movies but not 3 mths behind after 5 but now got it on dvd, warrior and Hogan dvds and the old wwe network.
Hogan was one of my favorites when I was younger. As a kid I thought What's up with Hulk Hogan's hair? It's blonde but yet silkin like that of a Chinese man & he has the skin of a hotdog 🌭
Contemplating grabbing this for 100 to get signed by Hogan haha just for the sake of Warrior. Ended up just getting his new, old og pink cape fig signed. Went to a big college bar event he was on and partied Hard! Woke up the next day kinda left a bad taste in my mouth in a sense. No crazy charisma from Hogan. And hes a 70 year old guy who recently said he gave up drinking passing out endless beers and physically pouring them in the mouths of a bunch of 21 year olds. Even poured one in a kids shoe for the kid to drink. Eh, I feel like Warrior would have some choice words and opinions on such behavior, he was above such irresponsibility and wanting people to be better rather than worse for the name of sales and selling out like that. Just slightly sketchy on Hogan’s part and made me wonder about his character in a sense. But dont get me wrong, still love the guy, and had a blast seeing him and drinking waaay too many free beers. And damn regretting not getting this set signed now haha.
Go back and watch the match when they’re doing the rest of strength, when it starts Warrior has the chest paint, when it’s done his paint is gone and nowhere to be seen on either guy

The enthusiasm is still there in your voice Kyle. Like it was just yesterday, you were running the halls saying, "I told you! I told you!"
I remember grabbing these at toys r us. I picked up all three packages. I still have not opened yet they are sealed in my closet.

One thing I just noticed about this package is that Warrior should have been on the left and Hogan on the right like the poster
I was able to get this set for $40 years ago off eBay, it’s my grail figure set.
Can't wait to watch couple years in advance on Patreon, forget what I saw and then experience them all over again on RUclips!
I think this will be up on traditional RUclips July 2024 😂
@@KylePeterson1980 what is time anymore... lol

Man !! That's a must have for sure !!!!

Test of strength?
@@KylePeterson1980 yes, that
Back in the day they did love their rest holds. Those 3 minute bear hugs and 2 minute body scissors. Maybe it really was a rest of strength 😂
@@nellyp2622 all I know is that huge chest logo warrior had just vanished in front of 67,000 people, I’ve wondered for 34 years where it went lol
47 minutes ago this is when I got on the video
Rip warrior
They out here looking basic 😢
They look classic to me
