Help me /toy/, I remember when I was a kid there were these little rubber wrestlers similar to pic related except they were modeled after characters from Saturday Night Slam Masters. I used to get them out of a gum ball machine in Phar-Mor. Now I can't find any evidence of them ever actually existing, anyone know where I could find out about them? I even remember the way they smelled. I'm not crazy.
Are you maybe thinking of the Keshi Kineshi figures based on Fist of the North Star? Tetsuo Hara did the same art for both.

Nope, they were Slam Masters characters. I'm 100% sure. they even had the big fat dude with the beard. I'm pretty sure all they made all of the characters.

Nope, I used to have a bunch of m.u.s.c.l.e. men. They were definitely from Slam Masters they came in different colors and were stretchy.

I know exactly what you are talking about!
They were in this party store when I was about 4 or 5. My mom would let me grab fist fulls of those guys out of the bins.
They were just called "Stretch Wrestlers" at the store.

While I don't know the Slam Masters ones, I do know that when I was younger I had a handful of tiny little rubber Street Fighter characters that looked similar to those sorts of little wrestlers. I think they were just generic bootlegs from some sweatshop somewhere, so I guess it's possible that someone somewhere made a mold of Slam Masters minis that got passed around to various factories.
