Andre The Giant & Hercules Hernandez

Yes, both Andre the Giant and Hercules Hernandez were managed by Bobby “The Brain” Heenan at the same time during their WWF run, as Hercules joined the Heenan Family in 1986 after Bobby bought his contract from Slick, and Andre officially aligned with Heenan in early 1987 during the famous build-up to WrestleMania III when he turned heel and challenged Hulk Hogan. This put both men under Heenan’s guidance through 1987 and into 1988, with Andre serving as the centerpiece of the stable as Heenan’s crown jewel while Hercules played the role of powerhouse muscle in the mid-card ranks, giving the Brain’s Family a mix of giant star power and brute strength during that period.

I love how Andre is captured in his classic sport coat and pink shirt look, just like fans remember him outside the ring in his major heel run. Andre is styled in a gray patterned sport coat over a pink button-up shirt, with blue slacks and black shoes, capturing his larger-than-life presence. He comes with a cross necklace, a piece that harkens back to the unforgettable moment on Piper’s Pit when he tore the chain off Hulk Hogan’s chest, cementing one of the most iconic angles in wrestling history. The figure also includes a beer can accessory, which is a nod to the legendary stories of Andre’s drinking prowess. From confirming to David Letterman in 1984 that he once drank 117 beers in one sitting, to tales of him putting away over 125 with Harley Race in New Orleans, and an astounding 156 in one sitting as confirmed by Dusty Rhodes and Michael Hayes, the accessory pays homage to a legend who was just as famous outside the ring as he was inside it. You can preorder Andre The Giant at Collecto Major!

On the flip side, Hercules is flexing in light blue trunks with his iconic chain draped around his neck, boots laced high, looking ready to unleash his power. Hercules is shown in his classic look with powder blue trunks, black kneepads, and tall white laced boots, flexing his massive arms in a powerful pose. Draped around his neck is his trademark heavy chain, an accessory that became a signature part of his entrance and persona. The chain completes the figure’s authentic feel, highlighting Hercules’ reputation as one of the strongest men in wrestling during his era.
