Also stevie Ray was shoddy as hell!! You have to wonder what thinking went into that figure. They took the time to sculpt sunglasses and a bandanna - but decided to give him the same face as Booker??  I mean Toybiz WCW figures were generally pretty good, but it was mainly the scale inconsistencies and any action features which ruined the articulation (e.g. Smash N Slam DDP) that bugged me. Plus there was a ton of wrestlers they should have made but didn't. Wrestling was so great in the Monday Night Wars era, it's a real shame that for most of it, the figures made weren't all that good. I mean RealScan TTL were pretty good and some Toybiz WCW were OK, but both of those styles didn't come in until around 1999. For 1995-1998, all we had was OSFTM WCW, BCA, and non-realscan TTL, which were all pretty terrible in terms of details and realism/likeness. |

And they even put "BT" on his boots! I always wished they would have made Eddie Guerrero and a bunch of the luchadors. I'm guessing that they probably couldn't legally make the luchadors anyway, unless Toy Biz also had an agreement with AAA, since almost all of them were AAA creations. |

I always thought Eddie & Hennig were straight up robbed by never being put into the Toy Biz line, sucked.

I never understood them putting BT on Stevie Ray's boots...
I wanted to recollect as many of these figures as possible summer last year, but didn't have the money. There was an amazing lot for £110 that would have included every Smash n Slam figure, plus a few from other lines, and was a great way to reignite a collection. Pity I had to pass it up...

The smash n slam was cool but the set that they made the best is the evolution of sting!! That was epic
