I love seeing you get so excited about unboxing figures! I have a small collection because of this channel and could only dream of figures that amazing! Keep the videos coming! 👏🏼
I found out about the black card figures in an ad in PWI after not seeing an LJN in stores for what seemed years to a little kid, and I HAD TO HAVE The Ultimate Warrior!!!!! It was like 30 some bucks after tax/shipping which was a lot for 1 figure in the 80s but I got it for Christmas and was thrilled!!! I even made my own yellow and orange tassels for his arms out of yarn lol!!!!
Being Canadian, those black card LJN’s use to be sold at my local home hardware for nothing. If I only knew as a 4 yr old lol. Funny how rare they are, but in Canada they were all common in our stores to see. I still have my original Warrior and Andre. $5 back in the day 😎🤙
I was on my way out of toys in 89 but still huge into wrestling. I saw an add for these in WWF magazine and had to get them. I ended up getting warrior ,rude, haku, boss man, and warlord. God I wish I saved my toys but I was 12 at the time and girls and skateboarding were what was on my mind most of the time back then
I was starting to think Brian's collection had surpassed Broski's (I'm just not into prototypes) but if Broski gets a moc LJN set, he's gonna take the MJ moniker back
I seen those up for sale. The guy who sold em lives near me. If you really paid 11k for everything you got a hell of a deal because that hogan alone was listed for almost the total price lol
It’s just rubber. Not gold or diamonds here. Realistically as a “down to earth” vintage collector myself. None of these are worth more than $50 to me and I would and have sold moc and loose for that price. Despite “what” I could get. I did not care. They are just toys. I enjoy these childhood memories like you all do. But are they worth a house mortgage to some of us to buy….hell no.
@@j.borosa7974I agree. Hell of a deal Steven? I promise those figures, none of them are really that valuable. That was just the price the owner put on them. Most eBay sellers are greedy and looking to play get rich quick.
@@j.borosa7974 Not gold or diamonds? So not rocks? They have meteors with more gold than we have on the entire planet, they aren't as rare as you think. It's just like any other collectible (watches, comics, cards, video games etc..) supply and demand, same way that gold/diamonds have value.
I loved this video! LJNs are my favorite figs just because I got them when they first came out. I’m jealous of that hogan! That was my first one and now I’m trying to find an on card one to add to my collection.
I've been outta the game for a while apparently. I would have guessed the Black Card was $1-2k. And the others maybe $200-500. How much are these now? 😮 I bought a Fresh out the case, Mint carded (would grade 90+) Honky Tonk Man for $250. This was like 8 years ago. Wish I would have bought more now 😪
I too am a bit out of the game. Not so long as yourself at only around 12-18 months but I can say with absolute certainty, not from just observation but skin in the game participation that to say it was a seller's market from '20-'22 is almost an understatement! I've never been involved with the ljn line but I know if you purchased anything Hasbro in '15 - '16, you literally couldn't not make money on the dateline I mentioned above. Like yourself, hindsight can be both a blessing and a curse, but in this case definitely a curse. 3 BNIB Hasbro rings, that from memory I paid no more than $150 AUD per piece + shipping sometime in '16, I sold one for $1050 and another for $1200. Numerous figures, all BNIB, I mixed the listings up doing some at the .99c start or a fair and reasonable price that represented the market, and it was like shooting fish in a barrel mate. I ended up communicating with a couple of buyers who after having received their purchases and being stoked with everything from the overzealous packaging, honest to a tee descriptions and more photos than you could poke a stick jumped at the chance when I'd say, 'how's about we give eBay the flick in order so we can both have more of win', one bloke beat me to it before he'd even made a purchase?! We soon had some great banter and he turned out to be an absolute legend of a bloke. I was happy everything went to good homes with a buyer who like myself appreciated quality and had an eye for detail. More than that though, it was the experience of dealing with just honest and straight up decent blokes who you'd be happy to have a beer with any day of the week. The ljn and Hasbro market still has plenty of life left in it for a while yet. Has it hit the ceiling? That I don't know. Factoring in the government stimulants that flowed in due to you know what and the relevant demographic factors, it's more possible than it's previously ever been. The next generation coming into that stage of life of a disposable income that can be afforded on nostalgia aren't interested(for the most part at least)in Honky Tonk, Rick Rude, Jake, Dibiase, Perfect, Macho etc etc etc. There'll always be interest of course, it's just increasingly one that's shrinking and deflating which is something that anyone who's speculating has to consider.
Is Chelsea pissed? Or Green with envy?? I would say pissed!! LOL!!! But you earned it Matt, plus it is something you love so I can't knock you for it. If I had that cash, I would probably do the same thing hahaha!!!!
Matt my friend, I'm gonna have to go into my basement and find my wrestling figures and send you a list and what I'd like to have for them. Great looking figures but I played with over half the ones you showed on the back of those cards. My cousin had the first two waves complete but opened and played with them. I had that first Hogan, my brother Joey had the Macho Man with the star trunks and my brother John had Big John Studd. Seems like we got a Jesse Ventura too later for Christmas from someone but I might be wrong about that. That one might have been my cousin Billy's. I know I've got the late 90's early 2000's Bendies Rock and Hogan figures in package in a storage container.
I had Andre, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Honky Tonk Man, Jim Duggan, Warlord, Million Dollar Man. All got pretty beat up from being played with.
I saw the title of the video and my first thought was "I wonder what Chelsea has to say about that." I think Chelsea and Sammy Guervara's wife Tay could start a "Boys & Their Toys" Support Group for girlfriends and wives, lol.
Oh man peanuts suck but you know what I hate the most are those like envelope packages but like there's two layers and inside there's like some foam but like you cut and it just goes everywhere I hate those ones
@zachary_attackery I'm not hating on him; I think Matt is a great guy. I was speaking to the increasing percentage of the online world that is questioning such things. Feel free to not care. I for example, would be curious to know any his protocol, so to speak. Maybe the details of these athletes' lives as it relates to steroids doesn't appeal to you, but it sure does to many.
Cant blame Chels for being mad at him spending $11 grand on action figures, but at least its an INFINITELY better fix than spending $11 grand on drugs, booze, strange women...other things.
I had the LJN Hogan original and was goin to my grandmas house one night..right when i walked out the door i dropped him and my dam dog ate the belt....i lost the fn belt to my dog lol
It's hard to see but the red sticker Hogan's face from the side by side looks like a different sculpt.…. Sure they are both legit? One seems much more chiseled and the other round faced from the bad angle I can see.
Everyone that watched tna this week, notice how nic had to cheat to beat Brian. Nic had to face the facts and couldn't bare to lose so the ref made Eddie leave ringside
Is Waffles an Angora Siamese? Either way adorable. WOULD BRING BOTH HOGANS ask Terry if the graded would go Up or Down, equal or more than the ungraded GET A VIDEO SHORTS ARE NOW 3 MINUTES MAX if you got a crowd, A Go Pro hanging unless you got a friend on camera call or getting his/her stuff signed!
That Hulk Hogan LJN figure is a part of American culture, we all had. It was in every house in America in the 80's and 90's. Untouchable.
We were a macho house. No Hogans.

Absolutely loving this unboxing, reminds me I need more LJN MOCs and to acrylic case what I got! You're killing it as always, love to see this!
Awesome gets, Matt! It's surprising to see the figures/cards in such fantastic condition. Love your cat too, lol... so cute 🤗
Those Miss Elizabeth figures are so hard to find; YOU definitely hit the jackpot with her figure.
Love how he's repping his lady with the merch. GOOD hubby
Dude, that was the first time I've seen that commercial. That is a killer throwback!!! 😀
15:36 your reaction tells everyone how much this one means to you! Congrats bub.

OMG seeing those figures brought me back to being a kid again. Everyone wanted hogan. Savage etc. I wanted heenan.
Did I miss something? That's the first I'm hearing about a BRG King Haku. That's a must have.
No wonder she did a “Celtic workout “ with Sheamus 😂
Awesome video man I’m so jealous what a pick up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I even go goosebumps when ya unwrapped them 💎 ‘s.
That's a Bigg Doggggg Haul . . .
BROOOTHER‼️
Looking jacked Matt! Love the content man would love more!
This boy is thirsty
Bro, you're a professional collector; you totally need the purple dress one for your new house.
Love the unboxing videos. Legendary collection!!!

That's crazy! but I love it.
good for you though mate, glad you got some grail pieces there
That ad read was perfect lol
Perfectly placed
Matt is the definition of a man who just lives life just to enjoy it!
Missed these types of vids 😂 not like they can be made so often, obviously. Love it!
That's rad dude... congrats!
Is Chelsea pissed? Or Green with envy?? I would say pissed!! LOL!!! But you earned it Matt, plus it is something you love so I can't knock you for it. If I had that cash, I would probably do the same thing hahaha!!!!
Wow, what a purchase, also thank for creating big rubber guys, getting all my favorite childhood wrestlers. So once again thank you Bro!
I'm totally buying myself big rubber guys for Christmas🎉🎉❤❤❤ I love this channel
Love these cat videos
prob need another 15K for the lawyer for the divorce chelseas gonna file lol the cat getting into everything😆
Loved those figures!!
Nice pickups Matt! As the MJ my expectation is for you to have LJN loose and MOC 😊

Y’all need to splurge on the LJN license now.
I think someone else bought it a couple years ago. There was some company putting crappy figures out under the LJN banner recently, I forget who
@zachary_attackery You're talking about the folks that made those Young Bucks figures, right?
AEW made a LJN Cody Rhodes figure early in their figure making 🤔
@@justafanofnerdculture7602 I think they made some crappy plug and play video game
I was hyped when I saw the original post about this then totally forgot! Let's go!
I had Andre, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Honky Tonk Man, Jim Duggan, Warlord, Million Dollar Man. All got pretty beat up from being played with.
If it wasnt for Macho man i would never have been into slam into a slim Jim beef jerky 😂oh yeah!!!
I have a loose one of those Hogan figures. He's a little beat up, but I'm curious how much he'd go for these days.
😄👍
I always knew Broski would come around on letting em breathe.
Your cat so cute 😊
I have the rocky loose too ,never seen the box
Crazy good deal you got on those!
love u man and i love the videos thank u so very much
Thanks man! We really appreciate it.
I saw the title of the video and my first thought was "I wonder what Chelsea has to say about that."

AttitudeFigz here showing some love! ✊🏻💯🙏🏻
14:00 unbox and regrade it
As long as you didn't buy 2 NECA TMNT Casey on a dirt bike! Your good!!!!
With the French on the box, these are probably the Canadian ones. Probably even rarer than the American ones.
It’s not a collection anymore, it’s a museum exhibit 🎉
That's how I think about my room!
Oh man peanuts suck but you know what I hate the most are those like envelope packages but like there's two layers and inside there's like some foam but like you cut and it just goes everywhere I hate those ones
omg YES!
I love that Matt starts swearing uncontrollably when the second to last fig comes out!
hahahahaha I almost bleeped it.
Now you need a unpunched hogan five back that’s elite
Def a steal of a deal
The 2 packs MOC would be sick
Matt is exactly who I'd be if I had money.lol
hahhaha
MISSED YOU IN MELBOURNE 3 MONTHS AGO BUT HOPE TO CATCH UP WHEN YOU NEXT COME OUT TO LOBOS COLLECTIBLES
If you got it like that, brother, I need demolition big rubber guys please!!!
Whats these big rubber guys where can I purchase
Thats dope!
speaking of "dope", I wonder how many have called out Matt for potential steroid use. just curious about his stance.
@@DanielWilson-k2d why would anyone care? what are you gonna "call him out" for getting a hair transplant too?

Loved this
Just curious, which wwe figures are you in still in the hunt for that you need to add to your collection Matt?
sweet figs! get that warrior!
7:40 good figure but just don´t release that one XD
Chelsea Green is what i want the character in the movie
"Curly Sue" to grow up to be LOL
Amazing stuff
Sure the hulk is mint missing the name sticker
Epic 🤘
Who sells these acrylic cases? I need one for my Miss Elizabeth!
Yo! Rocky Big Rubber Guys could change the game let's go
Amazing yay
Cant blame Chels for being mad at him spending $11 grand on action figures, but at least its an INFINITELY better fix than spending $11 grand on drugs, booze, strange women...other things.
Anyone notice the Hogan variant ?
I had the LJN Hogan original and was goin to my grandmas house one night..right when i walked out the door i dropped him and my dam dog ate the belt....i lost the fn belt to my dog lol
13:37 waffles in the box
You know he’s gonna try and complete a LJN MOC collection.
$1,000 Broski turns it up to 11!
Those 2 LGN Hogan's are different, there is a red circle on one that says Hulk Hogan, the other doesn't have it. Different prints?
It's hard to see but the red sticker Hogan's face from the side by side looks like a different sculpt.…. Sure they are both legit? One seems much more chiseled and the other round faced from the bad angle I can see.
Ow wow this guys still alive I didn’t know that
