WCW Galoob Collecting : New Pics Added

Galoobs played very well. A kid doesn't need action moves or articulation if he/she has a good enough imagination. Arn ranks among my favorite wrestling figures of all time. You could easily do the spinebuster, DDT, etc. with him, along with the superplex with Windham, powerbomb with Sid, etc.

Not to mention, it was awesome being able to do interpromotional matches. Since Dusty was released around the same time with Hasbro, you could relive the Crockett glory days, and when Flair showed up in the WWF you already had a Flair to challenge Hogan.

One of my favorite pieces is my signed Arn on the original NWA carding. A picture of it should still be on the main page of my blog listed in my sig.

Ive completed the set, not all moc tho, really want a mib josh!
my faves are mib freebirds with sound module and dustin rhodes, brilliant series.

Arn is perfect for spinebusters and bear hugs.

Sting is perfect for splashes and gorilla press slams.

Luger is great for double headlocks or bulldogs.

Pillman is good for high cross body blocks.

Ron Simmons was great at should blocks and snap mares.

Haha, they all had their signature moves based on their poses.

You win the prize !!! Crappy orange , maybe even the same orange as the Sting . I have to find the catalogs its in one of the 3 books I have . If I remember correctly its just the Zenk though . I just found the book and I totally forgot the other jems. Sting in white and gray , Flair in the Windham blue tights and dark blue boots yellow laces, Zenk in the orange (more the Pillman orange), UK Rick Steiner in yellow and Luger also in the Windham blue. Again they love that 4 color pallet they had.

Not sure why Zenk and Reed never were repainted. If meatybat doesn't have a chance to post pics, I think that I may still have them.

nice collection i have a few if you are interested.

i know what you mean its great that there super rare already without chasing about for the same figure in different colour ect.

I used to LOVE Galoobs. Prior to CS, I collected ALL of the Galoobs, then sold them all. The most difficult to find was the Barry Windham in blue and Brian Pillman in blue.

Like the LJN, their primary downfall was that the paint job sucked!!! To find rare ones in great condition was a challenge.

I would LOVE to see the prototypes of these figures. I loved them. When Jakks loses the license, I might revert back to collecting these again.

i used to love the galoobs as well. i had all of them except big josh, dustin rhodes, el egante, and the freebirds. i used to play with them and my hasbro's when i was younger. i sold all of them a few years ago as one lot. the only thing i hated was that doom had sweatpants on. anyone have any idea why they were made like that?
