A friend of mine is trying to find out what toy this is:
Anyone know? My Google fu has failed.

Unfortunately all we have is this picture, it's not a toy he has in his hands.

Edit: hmm, PA blocks pinterest links?
Search WCW ECW generic wrestler keychain.

edit: Other links just go to generic wrestler, so it was probably just something made without a specific brand.
Gnizmo posted that link too. My friend examined it, and he thinks that link is to a knock off of the toy he's looking for. His rationale was the level of detail in the purple toy, versus the loss of detail on the one at the link. Things like the missing vein bulge in the arm, the less nuanced colar bone, and the abs being not quite as detailed. I didn't agree with him at first but when he pointed to both images side by side I saw what he meant. So if the one at the link is a knock-off, there has to be some series of toys that it's knocking off, right?

Maybe, maybe not.
Generic molds are reused and change hands.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Yes but the thing is that on examination, that toy in the link is clearly not using the same mold as the purple toy above. That's the point.

Hm; this is an interesting one.
It's a mold used for a generic knock-off brand wrestler, both for figs & keychains. I can't say for sure, but I think the actual wrestler inspiring that mold is One Man Gang.
(n-not that I would know anything about pro wrestling mind you. Nope. A... a friend told me this!)
There's no packaging for these generic figures, just clear plastic bags, so there's no official branding or name convention for the line - just some serial numbers ('TAS000915' is the number associated with the keychain version of the fig you posted; I can't find a serial number for the more posable fig).
The only information & availability comes from resellers, not the manufacturer or distributor - between that and the fairly outdated fig design, I think it's a good guess that the toy itself is no longer in production.
It's quite possible it's the same figure, but they just re-released it later. Either as a cheaper and less quality run, or as a higher quality one.... just depends which is older. The small details are certainly different on the two, but they are obviously the same figure in every other way.
He's giving off a real vibe of that era of cartoons
