Magnum T.A. WWE Action Figure by Mattel
By Karl Stern (@dragonkingkarl, @wiwcool, karl@dragonkingkarl.com)
Yes, this is a modern and currently on the shelves action figure but it's of a throw back pro wrestling star. Magnum T.A. (Terry Allen) was a major superstar on the rise in the old Jim Crockett Promotions NWA area until a tragic car accident ended his career. Mattel has FINALLY produced a figure of Magnum T.A. and boy is it a good one. A really great representation of the master of the belly-to-belly suplex.
Here is magnum T.A. by mattel. the north american championship belt is a custom belt i ordered off of ebay. i think it helps nicely dress out the figure.
Magnum T.A. has a great head and face sculpt and comes with a removeable vest.

I thought i remembered those boots. they are the same ones that barry windham from the four horseman set is wearing only in white instead of black.
look out behind you magnum - arch rival tully blanchard is sneaking up behind you. be careful or you might get a stick in your eye.
we never got the pay off to this one! Magnum T.A. verses Ric Flair. Was magnum T.A. a future NWA World heavyweight champion? Perhaps. He was one belly-to-belly suplex away!
