2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Lots of kids had this Hogan back In the day.You were sure to find this in your friends toy box ,somewhere stashed underneath a pile of other toys that didn't get as much playtime.I'd like to track down a belt for him to rock.To me,Hulk Hogan was,and still Is In my opinion  the Michael  Jordan of Wrestling.He went through his ups and downs with allegiances,but he was always the quintessential leader.He never quit,and when he got that second wind and put his hand to his ear,the crowd would totally loose It!This figure is an awesome representation of the Hulkster,in my opinion.

I refuse to go outside.Besides,Brother Midnight,co creator of the awesomest action figure forum In town,     Toy Disorderly   and author of   Green Plastic Squirt Gun  has sent me an amazing trade package packed with retro goodness,and so It looks like I'll be a recluse these next couple of days .Brother Midnight has become a regular trade partner over the years and I couldn't appreciate him more.He's helped me fill out my retro toy shelves on more than one occasion,If not by  trade then by pu
