WWF Managers Series 1 action figure two-pack featuring Bob Backlund and The Sultan by Jakks Pacific. The blue and black packaging shows both figures in the blister — Backlund in a grey suit with bow tie on the left, The Sultan in red pants, gold belt, and red face mask on the right. Each figure has a hexagonal photo inset below. "Bone Crunching Action" badge in the upper right corner. "Bonus Display Base Included!" callout at the bottom. WWF scratch logo, Titan Sports copyright 1997, Ages 4 and Up. A $30 price tag is visible in the upper right.
The WWF Managers line from Jakks Pacific paired wrestlers with their on-screen managers in two-pack sets — a brilliant concept for the Attitude Era toy line. Bob Backlund was the former two-time WWF Champion who reinvented himself in the mid-'90s as a deranged, bow-tie-wearing manager, and The Sultan was Rikishi (then wrestling under a masked gimmick) managed by Backlund and the Iron Sheik. This is a deep-cut pairing from a transitional era in WWF programming — before Rikishi became the dancing Samoan that fans remember. Jakks Pacific's WWF line defined wrestling toy collecting in the late '90s.
Figures are in original sealed packaging. Card shows minor shelf wear. Sold as-is — a manager and his masked charge, still on the card.
