Hello All- I am a WWE Classic MOC collector (completist), and I decided to re-collect the WCW Galoob line in early August. I accumulated the complete set (UK and US) about seven years ago, and decided to sell them all as a lot on Ebay back in 2004. This time, the line was a bit easier to locate. I got the complete set in a little over a month (and much cheaper this time). I restored them all to mint condition, and even included a few customs from leftover figures. Enjoy the pics! -Jason (TheAxeHennig) Big Josh (with ax handle), Dustin Rhodes (with larger belt), and El Gigante:  US Sting (blue) and US Sting (orange):  UK Sting (pre-ring) and UK Sting (black):  US Luger (blue), UK Luger (pre-ring), and UK Luger (green):  US Steiners (yellow/black, and purple):  UK Steiners (pink/blue, and lime green):  US Ric Flair (blue) and US Arn Anderson (white):  UK Ric Flair (maroon) and UK Arn Anderson (red):  US Sid Vicious (black) and US Windham (black):  UK Sid Vicious (pink) and UK Windham (blue):  US Simmons (dark blue), Butch Reed (only one released), and UK Simmons (bright blue/white stripe):  Zenk (only one released), UK Pillman (blue), and US Pillman (orange tiger):  UK Freebirds and Sound Module (released with Freebirds):  Custom Zenk prototype (orange) and Custom Anderson (black):  Custom Sting and Luger:  |

Hey there!
That really is an awesome collection!
I have also started to collect these within the last month or so from car boot sales, and i am now down to needing just 6 figures.
It says in your post that they have been fully restored.
Have you repainted the whole of each figure, or just touched up any bits which were looking a bit rough?
A few of my figures are a little scathed, so i would definately be interested in restoring them, but i think i would have trouble finding the perfect paint match if i was just touching up the existing paint.
How did you carry out the restoration process?
You really did a great job!
Nice collection...I'm jealous! hehe

Ahh, you really did an awesome job with matching up the paint colours! Very impressive! Do you have any tips, or are there any particular paint types/colour references which work particularly well? I would love to have a go at this myself |

Nice collection. I have the whole collection except the Ron Simmons UK. Can't seem to find it.
I wish I could find an axe handle for Big Josh and a larger belt for Dustin. I have 2 Dustin's as that is my favorite figure.
I use to have the whole MOC collection of classics, but sold them last week to a man in NY who drove down and picked them up. I now collect loose.
