  • Knox Knerdz takes a deep dive into the history of the often forgotten WWF Bend-ems toy line. This series of toys filled the gap between the Hasbro figures and the Jakks figures and continued on for fifteen series from 1994 to 2001.

    Man that last part just made me want to give you a hug. I’m sorry childhood never gave you the toys you wanted, but that’s what adult collecting is for!

    Good information the only thing I did like about the bendem line was the multiple characters and the lack of variations unlike WWF bca

    Awesome job on the video and i love the Bend-ems line as well as LJN,Jakks,Remco and others. I find the first run of BCA championship belts fit them nicely too. Also i think Justoys turned in to the Just Play that made the Lion Guard toys dude.

    Excellent video! I am a bit surprised though, especially with briefly mentioning other lines and series, that you didn't bring up the old WWF LJN Bendies line from the mid 80's. Essentially the same thing as the Bend Ems, but with 18 stars from the Golden Era.

    I am the OG of the WWF BENDEMS line for for Justoys.
    You can find my name on some of the character design art. Perhaps some props in your description could help others know? It would be kind and appreciated indeed. 😁

    My Bendems story is: I stole an X-Pac Bendem from the store, and I thought I was being slick. Idk how my Grandpa knew, but later on at home he came up to me and asked "Where did you get this?" And I confessed. He didn't hit me. He didn't yell at me. The look of disappointment was enough to make me feel terrible inside.
