Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake has been produced by all three major lines of WWE action figures starting with LJN then Hasbro followed by Jakks. With Mattel announcing Brutus' planned release for the Elite 49 series, this will soon put The Barber in a select group of superstars that have been immortalized in action figure form by all 4 toy manufacturers.
While the colors have yet to be revealed, the renders released by Mattel show the figure to feature the iconic look of The Barber from 1988 through 1990 (minus the time he had his hair cut short around SummerSlam '89).
The Elite Beefcake figure looks to come packaged with the famous hedge clippers that he would always carry to the ring.
No 1980s action figure collection of the World Wrestling Federation is complete without a Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and, come 2017, collectors will finally have him.
