Early Days: LJN
With the rise in popularity that the wrestling industry experienced during 1980s, WWE contracted LJN to produce the first wrestling action figures in 1984. These figures were made of solid rubber and were very accurate in appearance to their real life counterparts, however they did not have any articulation. The figures stood at 8" tall. In 1989 LJN closed its toy division, and the WWE contract was awarded to Hasbro.
