10 Most Bizarre WWF Hasbro Figures
9. Evil Crush
As one would expect, all the WWF's top stars of the early '90s had multiple action figures dedicated to them as part of the Hasbro line. Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior each enjoyed three plastic likenesses, as did the burgeoning Shawn Michaels and top-line heel Ted DiBiase. Naturally, being the star of all stars, Hulk Hogan had no fewer than five figures manufactured in his honour, including a highly-coveted mail-away red shirt variety. Lives have been lost in pursuit of that particular rarity.
Then there's Crush. Bloody Crush. Despite being one of the poorest grapplers on the roster, often moving around the ring slower than a comatose tortoise, big Bry' was continuously pushed on account of his evident bigness. Consequently, all three of his terrible personalities were subject to the miniature treatment.
Much as I hate Crush, I personally love the yellow and purple Kona Crush figure; the colours are a simply lush combination, bringing to mind a refreshingly fruity cocktail supped lazily on a Caribbean beach. The green card 'Evil Crush' effort is not so evocative of such pleasant scenes.
Like all the green cards, it's an obviously lazy cash-grab by a company at the end of their contract. Nothing more than an unfaithful repaint with some inaccurate face-paint smacked on, the figure screams 'superfluous'. Hasbo couldn't even be ars*d to change the picture on the card. Why the rush with Crush?
