About This Figure
Honky Tonk Man from Mattel's WWE Basic line (Modern Era).
Mattel's entry-level WWE line — fewer accessories but the same face-sculpt quality, making it the gateway drug for new collectors who later chase Elites.
The Honky Tonk Man (Wayne Ferris) held the WWF Intercontinental Championship from June 1987 to August 1988 — a record 64-week reign that stood for decades — making him one of the most successful IC champions in history despite his gimmick as a cowardly Elvis impersonator. His guitar smashing and the catchphrase 'I'm the greatest Intercontinental champion there ever was, there ever is, or there ever will be' were hallmarks of WWF's cartoon era. His Hasbro figure with guitar accessory is a sought-after vintage piece.
