I actually own the MuscleFlex Scott Steiner.  News to me. Can you post pics? So they actually got made then? No they didn't. I own the unproduced hardcopy. I have uploaded a photo of the back in the Database (used the proto pics for the front view). Had the actual front view pic on my old website, so it must still be on my computer at home.  |

wow, great info and amazing protos! I echo this sentiment as well. STOM, how do the muscle flexers work? seems to be a rubberized body over a mechanized core that makes the figure flex its biceps up and down. Also, since you've added proto pics here I thought I'd put the actual image of the Nitro Active Vampiro that I was raving about: NOTE THE EXPLODING COFFIN   |

Very interesting post. This actually reminds me how much i hate the pipe fig, the head is dreadful. The image of the sting 'evo' set still looks fantastic. I Love the Thunderslam sets, and the image of rodman looks nice. Ive never seen that Buff figure before (magazine page 6), it looks awesome. I would also agree with most of the 'most wanted' list. If only the thunderslam Bret & Sting would've looked like that. Bret did but the Sting was Black & Silver for some inexplicable reason. Looked like some bizarre armor. yup such a pity.I really wanted an in ring Sting from Starrcade 97.why we didnt get one Ill never know....... |

I have the Sid test-shot gross out and the conceptual drawings for a bunch of the Toy Biz lines including Muscle Flexers. I have them pressed between something being they are pretty big lay out boards. If I can find them I can throw up pics.
