Mr. Perfect’s card front and back are…ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (I bet you saw that one coming!). The card features his classic pose and smug look and the back of the card has his signature saying, “Nobody beats Mr. Perfect! NOBODY!” His signature pin move was the Perfect Plex and it’s great to see the back of the card pay homage to him.

Mr. Perfect comes with his lime green tank top, his towel, a black Intercontinental Championship Belt, and extra hands.

Here is the Mr. Perfect WWE Superstars figure on the Walmart website:

Mr. Perfect Prototype

This prototype images and figures from the one and only Charlie_5.5 (aka Carlos) and it’s amazing to get to see these figures in this form as you can see how the sculpts evolve from prototype to finished product. You can see in the Mr. Perfect’s prototype that he has his signature hairstyle that comes down and curls on his forehead. You can also get a sense for how the hair lays down on the back of the sculpt too!

Curt Hennig, better known by his ring name “Mr. Perfect,” was a professional wrestler who was born on March 28, 1958, in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, USA. He was the son of Larry “The Axe” Hennig, who was also a professional wrestler. Hennig began his wrestling career in 1980, working for the American Wrestling Association (AWA). He quickly gained popularity as a charismatic heel (villain) wrestler with incredible athletic abilities and exceptional technical skills. He won his first major championship in 1986, when he defeated Nick Bockwinkel for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.

In 1988, Hennig joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), where he adopted the persona of “Mr. Perfect.” He was known for his cocky attitude, his ability to perform seemingly impossible athletic feats, and his signature move, the Perfect Plex. Hennig quickly became one of the WWF’s top stars, winning the Intercontinental Championship twice and being named “Wrestler of the Year” by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 1992.Hennig left the WWF in 1996 and joined the rival World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he had a successful run as a member of the New World Order (nWo) faction. He won the United States Championship and the World Tag Team Championship during his time in WCW.

Hennig’s career was tragically cut short when he died on February 10, 2003, at the age of 44. He was found dead in his hotel room in Tampa, Florida, where he was scheduled to wrestle in a match that evening. The cause of death was later determined to be acute cocaine intoxication. Hennig’s death was a shock to the wrestling world, and he is remembered as one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation.

Bam Bam Bigelow Prototype

This prototype images and figures from the one and only Charlie_5.5 (aka Carlos) and it’s amazing to get to see these figures in this form as you can see how the sculpts evolve from prototype to finished product. Bam Bam looks like he is using the oversized buck and you can see his version of the head sculpt with out paint or his tattoos.

Bam Bam Bigelow, whose real name was Scott Charles Bigelow, was a professional wrestler born on September 1, 1961, in Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA. He was a large and athletic wrestler who was known for his high-flying maneuvers despite his size. Bigelow began his professional wrestling career in the late 1980s, working for various promotions including the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). He quickly gained popularity for his unique look, which included flame tattoos on his head and body, and for his in-ring skills.

Bigelow’s most significant accomplishments in his career came during his time in the WWF, where he debuted in 1987. He was immediately pushed as a dominant wrestler and was involved in high-profile feuds with wrestlers such as Bret Hart, The Undertaker, and Lawrence Taylor, a former NFL player. In 1993, Bigelow headlined WrestleMania IX, teaming with his manager, Luna Vachon, to face Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns. In addition to his success in the WWF, Bigelow also had a successful run in ECW, where he was a key member of the promotion’s early years. He won the ECW World Television Championship twice and was involved in some of the company’s most memorable matches.

Bigelow’s career began to slow down in the late 1990s due to injuries and personal issues. He made sporadic appearances in various promotions, including a brief return to the WWF in 2000, before retiring from wrestling in 2006. Tragically, Bigelow died on January 19, 2007, at the age of 45. The cause of death was determined to be an overdose of multiple drugs. Bigelow’s death was a shock to the wrestling community, and he is remembered as a talented and unique wrestler who helped shape the industry.
