About This Figure
Sgt. Slaughter from LJN's WWF Wrestling Superstars (LJN) line (Rock 'n' Wrestling Era), released circa 1984–1989.
LJN's solid-rubber giants — no articulation, pure presence. The first mass-market WWF figures, sized to dominate any toy shelf. Loose figures in good condition command serious prices from nostalgic collectors.
Sgt. Slaughter is one of G.I. Joe's most recognizable characters — a drill sergeant and Joe field commander introduced in the 1985 animated film and toys. The character is unique in being based on a real wrestler, Robert Remus, who worked under the Sgt. Slaughter persona for the WWF (1980, 1990-1991) in addition to his G.I. Joe franchise role. His 1986 G.I. Joe figure and the Triple T tank are classic pieces. In WWF, his Iraqi sympathizer heel turn and matches with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VII drew massive heat.
