Hmmmm very odd. I get the concept, but it just looks terrible to me. I can't even really envision what they are shooting for with that, because all I see are Frankenstein wrestlers lol OK I'll quote the (previous?) owner: The Warrior is made up of various body parts as seen in the pics;factory painted and hand painted. Warrior's head, Ax's torso, Duggan's trunks and legs. Although crude looking, the mechanics on the action feature seems pretty complex. It is held together by glue, pins and screws. When you pull back the string in his back, his arm raises up and it pounds up and down. I am not sure whether this was meant to replicate him beating his chest or shaking ring ropes. Unfortunately only the left arm works. I can't see inside to know where the right arm connection broke off. Enjoy the pics and I look forward to your comments.  My guess: they used Ax' torso because it was the easiest to house that mechanism. Come to think of it, the mechanism kind of made it to Ultimate Warrior 3: without the string and without articulated elbows and wrists. Also since this is a mock-up it is very well possible it was never meant to be for the WWF series, but rather to get the license to produce Conan figures: the Conan the Adventurer has this exact mechanism with string (as noted by Meatybat in the original topic) : |
