UNRELEASED WCW Galoob Wrestling Action Figures - Part 1

[@muhyee294]

These figures were absolutely beautiful,

[@blacksabbath4252]

The ring looks cool too

[@anwarthinks]

Oh man, this video made me so happy. A pure nostalgia rush of the early 90s

[@GilbertSyndrome]

I love this line, I wish someone would start another series in this style, even if it's limited edition. I've never seen that version of Sting before, it's brilliant.

[@MasteroftheDDT]

Right, that belt they came with was awesome lookin. The ones from wrestling figure workshop r nice but they're hasbro style. I've got the 3 Stings in their gear but 2 of em hav the same face paint. It shoulda been 3 different styles. I love em anyway

[@spwwrestlingnetwork]

You're the man,Fig Heel!!! Thanks for always bringing the amazing vids & much needed info!

[@FigHeel]

Thanks brother

[@starkillerbeats420]

Damn , some of the head sculpts look so good!

[@CorrineFerguson]

Loved this video! That ring is awesome. Those pre ring outfit free birds look like theyre moving with the molding around the feet. So dope.

[@FigHeel]

Right?! I’d have loved those

[@mikeofmanymikes2630]

To me, the original blue sting was coolest in the line. That's the one that reminds me of being a kid.

[@FigHeel]

It’s so nostalgic!

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

The Sting and Luger in Jacket/Robe gear were only released in Europe and never in America.

[@FigHeel]

Actually the sting you see in the video is from a cancelled articulated talking figure line and features different molding all together. The Luger in this video features a different head than the released one.

[@peterogness9443]

Great video those are really cool figures

[@FigHeel]

Thanks pete

[@mikeofmanymikes2630]

Well done.

[@FigHeel]

Thank you!

great video love these figures

Thank you so much!

[@열가지-r2l]

I love this video. Always a pleasure to welcome.

[@FigHeel]

Thanks brother!

[@figphenom]

These would have been amazing releases!!

[@FigHeel]

Agreed

[@NerdNewsToday]

These figures have grown on me now, but as a kid I hated them. They don't move! I got into wrestling during the WWF Hasbro years, so I never had to have the LJN rubber guys, and in comparison I was spoiled with the hasbro articulation. As an adult collector now, I really like these WCW figures and appreciate their sculpting much more!

[@FigHeel]

I agree man. The playability was awful, but now that we’re older they’re like little statues and damn good sculpts for the time!

[@markraymo997]

I only wanted and got Sting

[@markraymo997]

Nice that he came with a belt. I used it as my intercontinental title because I had the WWF ring and belt.

[@SkronkJappleson]

a lot chiller music than your normal videos lol

[@FigHeel]

Gotta set the mood lol

[@jphuture]

Those belts were used for the u.s. commercial which sold me as a kid but I was disappointed that none of them had the belt when I got the whole u.s. collection

[@WRESTLEHOUSE]

Ricky Morton Ric Flair in Entrance Attire And The Fabulous Freebirds I really wished these figures would have been released definite must have’s!!!

[@FigHeel]

Me too brother!

[@jameshughes9329]

I can't believe however there were no prototypes planned for the like of Big Van Vader, Stunning Steve Austin, Rick Rude, Ricky Steamboat ect ect?

[@sophiedemiranda8059]

where do you get your figures i would like to no thanks 😊

[@FTW54]

cant wait for part 2

[@FigHeel]

Working on it!

[@Tweet_Wrestling]

What an awesome toy line

[@brooklynbull-e3565]

Diamond Studd, Ricky Morton....Damnn

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Oz complete with cape would have looked awesome.

[@durden2480]

I wish they had a Hollywood blonds two set

[@FigHeel]

That’d be amazing

[@durden2480]

@@FigHeel I wonder where all these prototypes are???

[@4thecollectors]

If the WCW would have picked 2 toy lines these and the Hasbro knockoff Style figures which only released 12 figures and continued to make figures they would have been more successful they had way too many lines out at once

[@andrewmachado6988]

I’ve always wondered why was there so many UK exclusives for this figure line?

[@FigHeel]

Poor sales in US!

[@j.borosa7974]

@@FigHeel Sales were good in the US, it was just that by the time the big chains jumped on board the market flooded with figures everyone had. They should have waited for the company to do series 2.

[@j.borosa7974]

more importantly I want to know why Big Josh's axe handle came as a floppy plastic accessory instead of a hard solid piece. You can't fit it into his hand properly. Along with the strange chain accessory?? I love how Galoob's choices for paint desgns, poses on some of the figures were really random and odd.

[@j.borosa7974]

If anyone has instagram, hit up Feeneyplexfigures, the guy is about to sell the unreleased 7 prototypes from the unreleased third series. He acquired the original molds and scaled them down to the actual galoob size. They are made from the same kind of rubber/pvc as the official releases as well as being professionally painted. He did an amazing job. Hit him up for more info.

Quick question bud: The shelving you use on your moc classic superstars are perfect for them. What are the shelves called and where did you get them? Thnx brutha, keep the content coming!

[@FigHeel]

Thanks man. They are the mainstays bookshelves from Walmart. They still sell them only they’ve reduced the width by 4” and depth by an inch AND raised the price. I hope this helps brother!

[@PerfectPlex090]

[@FigHeel]

The ones I have are 29.69" x 11.66" x 71.42"H

[@williammunny1844]

This show is like if Pawn Stars met Jerry Springer lol

[@blprom]

Damn, as an artist & long time fan, I so want that Michael to paint in his early 80's World Class style. Curse you WCW for not releasing it!

[@FigHeel]

I would LOVE to see your artistic take on it!

[@SALTER818]

Awsome info thanx OOOO YEAHH

[@FigHeel]

My pleasure!

[@j.borosa7974]

I'm very surprised no one who has the prototypes are not 3D printing them? They would not get damaged by making molds. All you do is snap images from all angles, upload them and there you go. If I knew someone who had them then that is what I would be doing. I'm collector too and just having a replica is satisfying enough. I don't understand the collector community sometimes. It would not devalue the original in anyway. I'm sure I'm not the only collector of the galoob line that shares my opinion.

[@FigHeel]

I think part of the appeal of spending big money on them is having a piece that no one else has honestly.

[@j.borosa7974]

@@FigHeel I get that, but still I think most of us would love to complete our collections too, even if it were replicas. it's not like I or any other collector will ever have the chance at getting one of the 2-3 actual prototypes. There are sellers already reproducing everything from stickers, figures, accessories from hasbro's & galoob lines, Call me the black sheep here, but I wouldn't have an issue if I owned the real prototypes and someone wants a copy. Go for it. I'm happy enough owning the real deal.

[@jameshughes9329]

I still cant believe that Galoob were seriously planning on releasing the likes of Black Blood ahead of....Big Van Vader, Stunning Steve Austin, Rick Rude, Ricky Steamboat, Nikita Koloff.. I mean it was a travesty those 5 wrestlers never got released by Galoob but the ones they were planning on releasing that we seen on protocols, good designs as they were, should never have been in there before the ones mentioned

[@thekenjirosangaarena]

I would pay 1 Million Dollars for that Billy Jack Haynes, cause I'm INSANE!!! 🤪

[@FigHeel]

😂

[@JMFSpike]

The Galoob figures look pretty decent, but sadly they are still inferior to LJN's WWF figures. It's a shame WCW never had high quality figures like the WWF always had.

[@FigHeel]

I loved the toybiz line personally

[@GilbertSyndrome]

Galoobs and Toy Biz were legit.

[@joen8529]

How ridiculous they didn’t just make these a little bigger so that they worked with the LJN figures. Who makes these decisions?

[@FigHeel]

Haha!

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Sadly the Freebirds were NEVER released in America in any form.
