Classic Superstars 14″ Large Scale Figure Rowdy Roddy Piper

Perhaps no pro wrestling character from the 1980 s WWF glory days was more complex than Rowdy Roddy Piper. True, he did wrestle in the ring and gained renowned for his toughness, which more than compensated for a lack of acrobatics. But Piper was even better known as the host of “Piper s Pit”, where he would serve as talk show host, interviewing guests for a short spell before beating them senseless. And his expression, perfectly captured in this 14″ action figure version, always seemed to convey a mixture of malevolence and glee. The figure, released as part of a series honoring the wrestling stars of yesteryear, is more muscular than the real Piper was and has oversized fists and feet but it still has the requisite kilt and you still get the sense that it could smack you in the head with a folding chair at any moment. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: a great conversation piece
I bought the Roddy Piper figure as a decorative piece for my home. Okay, I might have some strange (I prefer eclectic) tastes. I was a fan of Piper’s during his wrestling career and I have enjoyed his many movies. He is a larger than life character and this is a larger than normal action figure.
This figure depicts Roddy in what appears to be his late 80’s look. It comes with the mandatory plaid kilt.
It is sitting on my bookcase and it has sparked many conversations from men and women! Just looking at it brings me back to an innocent time, when I could just sit back and escape into a cartoon-like world of pro wrestling. More Info
