The Story

Few WWF moments from the early 1990s carry the cultural weight of Lex Luger's Yokozuna Bodyslam Challenge aboard the USS Intrepid, and Mattel leans into that legacy with this WWE Retro Series release. Designed as a loving homage to the original Hasbro WWF figures of the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Retro line swaps full articulation for a chunky, stylised sculpt and a built-in action feature — exactly the format that defined the golden age of wrestling toys. Community collectors have consistently ranked this Luger release among the standout entries in the Retro line, reflecting genuine sustained demand for his All-American persona.

This is a vintage carded example (item number HMC57, ©2022 WWE / ©2022 Mattel). The card presents in collectible condition, retaining its original bubble housing the figure in his stars-and-stripes trunks, wristbands, and white boots. The Patriot Press action feature is activated by pulling over Luger's torso — true to the Hasbro-era mechanical spirit. The card back is printed in classic black-and-white line-art style, listing wave-mates Doink the Clown, Tugboat, and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine alongside a bio blurb celebrating the USS Intrepid bodyslam — rich context for early-1990s WWF set builders.
