I'm in the process of moving so I'm going through everything in my attic to see what's trash and what isn't. I open up a box and find these 3 figures. I couldn't believe it! I thought that I lost these in my last move 6 1/2 years ago! 3 Sting figures from arguably the 3 rarest WCW ToyBiz lines of figures (except for the Main Event 2-packs). I didn't think I'd ever find another Gross Out Sting, but I had it all along.

Haha...wow. I stopped collecting ToyBiz before they went insane, apparently.

You do not see those available often. Glad you found them.

the Slam Force line is very scarce I think-especially Sting.

Always great to find things we haven't seen in a while. Just today I found a Toymakers Dallas Page and Raven along with a few non-wrestling figures in a box. I didn't even know I had them but now seem to remember getting them at a convention in 1998. I know I had a Ron Simmons galoob in package that has to be somewhere in the basement.

Slam force was neat, it was like wcw wrestlers fighting monsters, Chris beniot was supposed to be in the set but he left for wwf while the line was made, he also appeared in the comic that came with them all

That middle one is epic. That's what action figures were all about in the '90s haha.

That's a great find. When a person uncovers something like that it's almost like getting a new figure all over again, only better because you didn't have to pay for it.
BTW, SLAM Force Sting is the only SLAM Force figure I never managed to get. Likewise, I could always find Gross-Out Sid Vicious, but never Sting. More than any other wrestler in WCW at the time, he was tailor made for concept figures like those.

I also have a SLAM Force Bret MOC. I used to have Nash and sold him years ago. Never got my hands on a Goldberg.

I was always under the impression that the Gross Out line was never released. Awesome pieces there.

wow, I've never even seen those, did they have other figures in that "gross out" line, think we could get pics of the back cards of those?

Well that's quite a find you managed to to pull out of your Attic. What do you plan to do with these rare figures?

Goldberg and Sid Vicious were the other produced Gross Out figures. There was also a very early prototype of Bret Hart shown that was never produced. The Bret looks nothing like the other 3 figures in the line. Pics of all can be found in the Figure Database on Wrestlingfigs.com. These are all going to stay in my collection. I can't get to them to take pictures right now because they're in the back of my storage unit.
