Wow, yeah, that's a huge difference! Must have been some good stuff he was on in the mid-90s to get to the build he had as 'Bad Ass' Billy.

YOKOZUNA | 6'4"; 600 lbs; Polynesia | Level 1 Offense | Level 1 Defense | 1. shove - 1 2. chop to chest - 1 3. overhand smash - 2 (ag) 4. body slam - 2 5. bear hug - 2 (pw) 6. into the turnbuckle | 1. dazed - 1 (tag) 2. YOKOZUNA - 1 3. YOKOZUNA - 2 4. YOKOZUNA - 1 5. dazed - 1 6. dazed - 1 | Level 2 Offense | Level 2 Defense | 1. throat chop - 2 2. trapezius grip - 2 3. into the ropes (c) 4. head butt - 2 (ch C) 5. Samoan Drop - 3 6. belly to belly suplex - 3 | 1. YOKOZUNA - 1 2. hurt - 2 (tag) 3. hurt - 2 4. YOKOZUNA - 2 5. dazed - 1 6. YOKOZUNA - 1 | Level 3 Offense | Level 3 Defense | 1. sumo slaps - 2 (ch F) 2. out of the ring (c) 3. leg drop - 3 4. back splash in corner - 3 5. standing side kick - 3 6. BANZAI DROP (+4)* | 1. PIN 6 (3) 2. down - 3 (tag)(lv) 3. hurt - 2 4. hurt - 2 5. down - 3 6. hurt - 2 | Ropes - C** Turnbuckle - B** Ring - B** Deathjump - C Disqualification - 5 | Agility +3 Power -4 Cage 4 |
* roll 2 dice: misses on 10-12 and opp. rolls on lv. 3 offense. ** opp pw must be -2 or better to work. If not Yoko takes over on level 2 offense. This is the mid-to-late 1994 version of Yokozuna when he had gained so much weight that the WWF kept him in tag teams for the most part. It is also my third attempt at making a card for him that I am happy with. I got rid of the weird mechanic on the finisher and went with a simple hit/miss roll. I also adjusted his defense and moveset to be more in line with the era I wanted to represent.

I like your version more than mine, and that art is awesome? Who are you going to do next?

Who are you going to do next? Well, this finishes off the "green card series" subset, so named because these are the seven guys who were in Hasbro's last series of WWF action figures. Said series had green background on the packages, thus the color coded designation (for those who haven't got a clue about wrestling action figures history). From here I have no set plan. I'm considering Bob Holly, Razor Ramon, Marty Jannetty, maybe Made In USA Luger....like I wrote, no real plan.

Pretty dang cool. Thanks for all your hardwork. Off Topic: At the Chiller Theatre show last weekend, I was able to get a Giant Gonzales, Repo Man, and Mountie (sans shock stick) for $6 total. The GG looks brand new and I seriously don't remember him having a figure. The Mountie has decent to good paint but no shock stick. Repo's paint is decent, but his face shows some wear. Still pretty cool to add to the shelf with the Piper, Luger, and the others.

I almost hate to let you guys in on this, but I was a pretty avid collector back when those last few series of WWF Hasbro figures came out. I read in AFN magazine that the last series (the "green cards") were shipping almost exclusively to Hills department stores. There was one nearby and I loaded up on them. I seriously had at least a half dozen of every one except 1-2-3 Kid (only had one). I made quite a bit of money selling the extras. Now I've pretty much sold everything except for a few odd ones here and there and those that just weren't worth the money to bother selling, but at one point I had a nearly complete collection of Hasbro and altogether entirely too much retail plastic junk for one person to own.

Of course now I know that it's a bodysuit, but back then I thought dude just walked out of the locker room naked.

I love your 1-2-3 Kid, Mark. I'll be using him.
