ToyBiz WCW figures

[junkyardmacho]

So just today I got two WCW ToyBiz figures (Scott Stiener, and Booker T) and I got them loose but I have a problem. Steiner's right arm is very loose, and Booker's legs are very loose. Do all Toybiz WCW figs become loose after being open for so long or is it just my figs?

[crush]

IIRC my Steiner was loose like that out of the package in 1999.

I've had a Ring Masters Bret Hart for about 20 plus years that's stiffer than a corpse in a snowstorm, so I think it just depends on the figure. Most of mine are in pretty good condition, old or new. Are you looking get more Toybiz figures?

If it's the Steiner with the singlet, yeah, I think the arm was designed to be loose. It was one of those figures with the 'action feature,' and I think originally came with a corner of a small ring, and when you placed it on it, you could move the figure, and the arm was loose to simulate a clothesline action when you moved him.

[Scott!]

I think I had the Steiner you're talking about, and if I remember right it had very loose arms. It was hella fun to play with because of that, but I can imagine if you were after a minty tight jointed one it may be annoying.

Scott Steiner’s arm is loose because of the action feature it had. You could always twirl the arm always twirled even brand new. i think Booker had some sort of kicking or jumping action.

So I know that you all are talking about Steiner but in my original post it also said Booker T but I have since learned it is Stevie Ray. Does anyone know if his loose legs are a action feature or is it just my figure?

Do his legs squeeze together at all? Bam Bams feature works in that way.

Btw, sorry guys, I was just curious if you were still collecting Toybiz, I don't have any for sale. I do collect them myself, though, and eBay has some good deals on figures. 👍

Yes I still collect toybiz I love their figures and feel they are very underrated. But no they do not squeeze together, and I don't know the versions of toybiz Stevie rays but this is Harlem heat version. #MakeAToybizSubDivision (spread it if you think it should happen)

I think some figures differ in the line, but what I can say is that I've never had a Toybiz figure break on me, whether the joints were a bit loose or overly stiff.

I'd be happy to see a subdivision devoted to Toybiz, for sure. I'm always looking to expand my Toybiz collection.

[junkyardmacho]

So what figures do you recommend buying I only have 2 so far and am looking to expand my collection any recommendations (preferably bruisers or ring masters)

[dragonsleeper]

I still have most of my WCW figs in their original packaging too lol, I just bought the Smash and Crunch Goldberg

Ring Masters Rick Steiner is a great figure.

[dragonsleeper]

Yeah great figure, same body as Scott but made much much better

Scott Steiner’s arm is loose because of the action feature it had. You could always twirl the arm always twirled even brand new. i think Booker had some sort of kicking or jumping action.

Steiner didn't have an action feature.

It was loose like that because they called it a clothesline action. Pretty sure it said in right on the Ring Fighters card. And I think the Ring Fighters Bret had it as well.

The "clothesline" action refers to if you have them pegged into the piece of the ring they come with. The figure itself didn't have an action feature.

Right it didn’t have a spring loaded “action feature” but the loose arm was designed to be loose to do the action mentioned on the card. Rick’s figure (Ring Masters) was pretty much the same mold but they didn’t give it the loose shoulder like Scott or Bret because his figure wasn’t designed to spin on the ring piece like their Ring Masters were. That’s what I meant about it was loose because of an action feature.

Ah, I gotcha. My bad.
