Something I mentioned a couple of pages back, quick look at a WCW toy guide I have (more here):


*click to enlarge*

Inside is all pretty much standard sets and whatnot, but the last page is the most interesting one -- UNRELEASED WCW Figures:


*click to enlarge*

Nothing particularly mindblowing except for the insane cyborg Bret Hart/ArchAngel figure. I believe the Nitro Active wrestlers were actually released but only in the UK, no silver guitar wielding Jarrett figure for the American boys...

Also, bonus Vampiro with the Misfits:

It freaked me out watching WCW as a kid and not knowing who the Misfits were, then years later getting into punk and thinking "Holy poo poo, those wrestlers are in a band!"

Thought the Nitro Active Buff toy was playing a drumkit on the thumbnail. Was very disappointed when I enlarged the image.

I think my favorite one of those is Goldberg. I mean Bret's got the wings, Sting is turning into a cyper scorpion, Sid has become half man half robot, and Nash is just going overboard. But Goldberg? He's just like "Yup. Got a metal face."

It took me a little bit to figure out that Nitro-Active Kevin Nash was powerbombing an engine, not smashing an '80s band's kit up.

I know the cyborgs are borderline crazy stuff, but I'm most interested in what this "Gross out" Bret Hart action figure would have been. Do you squeeze him and his innards come out or something?

They were just beefed up wrestlers where you could peel their skin off.



You could tear apart the Sid Vicious figure and expose his brain and I'm not too sure about the Goldberg one.

I remember my uncle getting my father the sweating Gangrel action figure as a gag gift one Christmas. Dad took him out of the box and put him on top the toilet tank in the guest bathroom. Little guy stayed there for like 7 or 8 years, holding his goblet of blood and snarling at anyone who dared use the john.

The only really interesting thing that came out of those "Maximum Sweat" figures was that you could remove Maximum Sweat Kane's mask. To the best of my knowledge, this was the only authorized example of what Kane looked like back when he was supposed to be literally disfigured instead of suffering from "mental scars."

I lived in Japan as a kid, and collected tons of these little Godzilla figurines that had wheels on their feet. When you revved them up, they'd fire off sparks. I definitely never saw any such toys when I returned to the states in the 80s. My dad happened to find a figure in that family of toys that wasn't a giant rubber monster, but was a giant wrestler:

Japanese wrestler toys are never super cool poseable action figures, they are mostly small statues.

Sum Mors

To be as stereotypical as possible, Japanese children are only afforded small statues and figurines. Action figures lead to playing, which detracts from their school work!

Closest they get is building/painting model Gundams.

They did another which had a Freddy Krueger style burnt face. It was in that range of posed figures. I could never find it in any shops in my area.
