The guys from W1 to W9 were availabel as cereal premium with Kellogg's Frosties
in 1995 in the UK. These Monster Wrestlers In My Pocket were produced by Vivid Imaginations, an
English company.
Wrestlers W10 to W42 were produced for Matchbox and were sold
in the UK in toy stores like Toys R Us. Jayne Way
scanned a
single-pack of these. As you can see below there
are also some color variations of the Matchbox figures. We
call the colors on the trading cards the original colors, others
are color variants. W43, W44 and W45 build the Physio-Terrorist Set, a
contest prize.
There are also POGs for W10 to W42 and "Grapple Cards" which were
in the single-packs. Also there was a promotion to obtain a
special
offer tag-team. Info again by Jayne: To get the tag-team wrestlers you had to
save tokens from the packets and send away for the tagteam and I think that
these ones were the only ones on offer as they were described as exclusive
in the monster wrestler in my pocket comic.
