WWF Wrestling Superstars Referee Action Figure (1987)
CC-5 — Fair
Product Description
An uncommon piece of WWF wrestling history, this LJN Wrestling Superstars Referee figure represents one of the more elusive releases from the legendary toy line that defined 1980s wrestling collectibles. Released in 1987, the Referee was produced in limited quantities compared to the superstar wrestlers themselves, making carded examples increasingly difficult to find on the secondary market.
LJN's Wrestling Superstars line brought the larger-than-life personalities of the WWF's golden era into living rooms across America. While Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and André the Giant dominated toy shelves, the Referee figure served an essential role in recreating authentic matches and storylines. Molded in the line's signature solid rubber construction with articulated arms, this figure captures the iconic black-and-white striped shirt that became synonymous with WWF officiating during wrestling's most celebrated decade.
This example presents in CC-5 Fair condition, displaying honest wear consistent with nearly four decades of existence. The card shows its age through corner and edge wrinkling, discoloration, and visible bending in spots. A previous price sticker remains affixed to the top right corner, serving as a nostalgic reminder of the figure's retail journey. Small stains are scattered across the card surface. Despite these condition factors, the figure remains sealed on its original backing card—a increasingly rare find for this particular release. For collectors seeking to complete their Wrestling Superstars roster or preserve a piece of WWF merchandising history, authentically packaged referee figures remain among the line's most sought-after pieces.
