Tonka Wrestling Buddies were similar to the original Wrestling Buddies but were produced by Tonka, another toy company known for its durable and rugged toys. Like the Hasbro Wrestling Buddies, Tonka Wrestling Buddies were plush toys designed to resemble popular professional wrestlers of the time.

Tonka Wrestling Buddies, released in the 1980s, showed the cuddly side of professional wrestling.

Because of wrestling's big youth fan base, the Buddies were a huge relief to parents who could permit violence against what was essentially a plush toy/doll/pillow in the shape of an elite pro-wrestling personality. The toys were part of the broader trend of merchandise tie-ins with professional wrestling during the 1990s, capitalizing on the popularity of wrestling among young audiences.

Even superheroes like Spider-Man eventually got into the mix, which meant Spidey and Hulk Hogan could finally join forces.
