Wrestler Billy

Clad in a striking red singlet emblazoned with “Wrestler Billy” and a white star emblem, this figure exudes raw strength and playful charm. With knee and elbow pads completing the look, Wrestler Billy steps onto the mat with the confidence of a champion and the attitude of a provocateur. His athletic build and stance speak to power, but his expression reveals warmth—challenging stereotypes of toughness and tenderness.

Wrestler Billy draws from the hypermasculine aesthetics of professional wrestling, subverted through a queer lens. More than just a sports tribute, this figure explores themes of body politics, performative strength, and homoerotic visibility in athletic spaces once marked by exclusion. He’s both fighter and fantasy—ready to pin down conventions.

 

John McKitterick

Lead designer behind Billy. He envisioned the doll as a queer-visibility icon within the collectible world. Influenced by gay pop culture and activism of the 1970s–80s, his mission was to create collectible figures that were both art and social statement.

Juan Andrés

Stylistic collaborator responsible for wardrobe and thematic direction—from flamenco to sports, uniforms to leather. His work blends fashion, performance, and queer cultural heritage into each figure.
