The LJN Superstars Retro line is making a major comeback, and fans got a front-row seat to the revival at San Diego Comic Con 2025. Both Waves 1 and 2 were on full display at the WWE booth and panel, bringing back the iconic 1980s-style figures with a modern twist. Wave 1 kicks things off with Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhodes, John Cena, and Logan Paul, while Wave 2 turns up the heat with Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Ultimate Warrior, King Kong Bundy, and Jesse “The Body” Ventura. With their throwback styling and classic poses, the return of this line is pure wrestling nostalgia done right.

Where to Buy

Wave 1

At the WWE booth during SDCC 2025, the LJN Superstars Retro display drew plenty of attention, particularly for its up-close look at three standout figures from Wave 1: John Cena, Dusty Rhodes, and Logan Paul. Each figure captured the larger-than-life personality of its superstar, with bold colors, exaggerated sculpts, and a faithful tribute to the LJN figures of the 1980s. Logan Paul’s figure sported his black and yellow ring gear with lightning accents, while Dusty Rhodes was decked out in his iconic polka dots. John Cena brought a vibrant red and blue look to the lineup, complete with his signature “Never Give Up” wristbands. Notably absent from the display was Hulk Hogan, who was announced as part of Wave 1. While no official statement was made, his omission from the booth has sparked speculation, especially in light of the unfortunate news that Hogan passed away during Comic Con weekend. Whether out of respect or logistical timing, his absence was certainly felt among fans honoring his legacy.

On display at the SDCC 2025 WWE booth are carded figures of Logan Paul, John Cena, and Dusty Rhodes from the LJN Superstars Retro line, each packaged on distinctive chase black vintage-style cards.

Wave 2

At the WWE Panel during San Diego Comic Con 2025, this image features digital renders of Wave 2 from the LJN Superstars Retro line. Stone Cold Steve Austin is shown in his black vest and trunks, arms raised in a signature pose that channels his no-nonsense attitude. The Ultimate Warrior stands next to him, sporting his classic neon armbands and tassels, with a wild expression and muscular stance that captures his iconic intensity. Jesse “The Body” Ventura is decked out in a flamboyant purple suit with white patterns, matching top hat, and tinted glasses, evoking his over-the-top commentator persona. Rounding out the lineup is King Kong Bundy, depicted with his massive build in a black singlet, crouched slightly forward in a menacing stance. Each figure retains the exaggerated proportions and glossy finish that pay homage to the original 1980s LJN style, offering collectors a nostalgic blast from wrestling’s golden era.
