About This Figure
Iron Sheik 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 Iron Sheik's 1983-84 WWF title reign — defeated by Hulk Hogan in the match that launched Hulkamania — makes his LJN Series 1 figure (1984) one of the historically significant entries in vintage WWF collecting; Jakks Classic Superstars and Mattel Legends/Elite releases have continued his figure legacy, and his late-career social media celebrity introduced him to entirely new generations.
