About This Figure
Iron Sheik from Mattel's Retro App Series line (Modern Era), released circa 2017–2020.
Mattel paid homage to the Hasbro era with vintage-style sculpts and the original 5-point articulation — nostalgia bait that worked, selling out faster than any Mattel line since launch.
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.
