Mattel's WWE Junk Yard Dog

Is there a better way to start our vacation than giving gifts to my amazing son?! I don't think so. Last July I got him some new Mattel WWE action figures.

First was the Junkyard Dog.

Of the absolute best and most loveable wrestler of the 1980s.  Sylvester Ritter (December 13, 1952 – June 2, 1998) was an American professional wrestler and college football player, best known for his work in Mid-South Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation as the Junkyard Dog (or JYD for short), a nickname Ritter received while working in a wrecking yard.

Ever since they announced a Mattel version of JYD, I was on waiting for it. And it was totally worth it. Love the sculpt, paint and details.
