Cowboy Bob Orton Appraisal

Mattel WWE Flashback Series "Cowboy" Bob Orton Action Figure

This is a mass-produced plastic action figure from Mattel's WWE Flashback Series, depicting the professional wrestler "Cowboy" Bob Orton. The figure is approximately 6-7 inches tall and features multiple points of articulation characteristic of the Mattel Elite style. It is dressed in blue trunks, black knee pads, and tall boots, with a removable black cowboy hat accessory. A notable unique feature is the white cast on the left arm, a hallmark of Orton's gimmick. The item is still within its original card-back packaging, which includes a 'Build A Howard Finkel' promotional offer and a portrait of the wrestler. The condition is significantly compromised; the clear plastic blister bubble is heavily taped to the cardboard backing with yellowed, aging adhesive strips, suggesting the original seal failed or was tampered with. There is visible edge wear, creasing, and corner dinging on the card stock. The packaging appears to have suffered from poor storage, affecting its collectible value despite the figure inside appearing to be in relatively good, unplayed-with condition. This series was released around the late 2010s to evoke nostalgia for classic eras of professional wrestling.
