Droz - Breakdown Series
Droz
The last ever figure of Droz, made before the terrible in ring accident which lead to him being paralysed and last I heard he was still confined to a wheel chair. Get better soon Droz!
As for the figure well it's pretty cool for various reasons. The first thing I have to mention is the great but gross sink, which has been painted on the inside to make it look as though it covered in some sort of gunk. Now if you didn't know Droz's gimmick is that he pukes up a lot, so I think you can guess what the gunk is supposed to be!
Apart from the sink the figure itself is very nice and bears a good likeness to Droz. The face especially is very cool and lifelike. The arms and legs have good movement. I’m told that the body mould is the same one used for the Marc Mero figure although it still seems to suit Droz well anyway.
Since this is certainly the last Droz figure, which will ever be made I highly recommend it.

| | Kidman - Bruisers Series
With:
Folding Table
I found this figure to be very good for a number of reasons:
The detail on the clothes and face is impressive; the figure really does bear a good likeness to its real life counterpart. It's also made to a sensible scale and looks right at home with most of the other Toybiz figures.
It comes with a great accessory, a folding table, which is a vital weapon for just about any wrestling match these days. It's nice to have an accessory which is actually useful, tables are well known wrestling props and thus can be used with just about any wrestler.
It well articulated and the arms and neck are fully movable.
There are a few negative points:
The back flip action doesn't work and makes the legs much less maneuverable than the rest of the figure which can be annoying.
Overall I really like this figure and my only complaint is the stupid action which is totally unnecessary but thankfully doesn't ruin the figure. Kidman is an amazing wrestler and this figure does him justice.

| | Hulk Hogan - Powerslam Series
With:
Yellow Belt
Breakable Picture
This figure is a major disappointment. For one thing the colour scheme is absolutely awful, the yellows and reds clash and make Hogan look very strange indeed. Why the hell are his teeth red? What on earth is wrong with his neck, it looks totally freaky.
Another big complaint I have regards the actual size of the figure, it far too big and makes Hogan look bigger than all the other WCW wrestlers when there stood side by side. It's about twice the size of Disco Inferno and far wider than DDP, when really those two wrestler's figures should be a very similar size. Quite frankly the figure looks far more like a marvel superhero than a wrestler.
I also hate the fact that Hogan has glasses painted on and worse still they're bright red!!!
Could this figure get any worse? YES it sure can. Another seriously annoying aspect of it is the stupid action it performs, get this Hogan does the big boot (exciting eh?). Even though the action itself is rubbish the worse thing is if you move the figure just slightly it sets of the action and you have to reset the leg's position only for it to happen again a moment later. I'm not lying when I say that this is really irritating, plus the leg action means that the figure has a big annoying switch sticking out of it's back.
As for the accessories that come with it, well their crap too. The stupid breakable wall thingy doesn't even stand up right and frankly is useless, at least the belt isn't quite so pointless and Hogan can use it as a weapon.
So all in all this figure looks stupid, is deformed and has the worst action of any WCW figure I've seen. One to avoid me thinks, if you want a Hogan figure consider one of his NWO figures instead.

Review Soon |
WCW Nitro Arena
Set includes:
Ring + trampoline in the middle
Over 10 different sounds
Camera (plastic, non working DUH!)
Nitro Entrance and Scafolding
Winch
This is a tough toy to review because there is just so much too it and some of the arena is great and other things are really annoying. I'll break this review down into two parts, the ring and the arena surrounding it.
The Wrestling Ring
Well on the plus side you can't complain about the size of the ring and it can hold upto 8 or 9 figures at once at a push. The ring ropes are well designed and seem to be pretty difficult to break and the ring performs it's basic function. But it has some faults one of which is VERY annoying and frankly really stupid. Get this the ring has a trampoline in the middle!!!! It's basically just a really soft bouncy bit in the middle of the ring but it makes it impossible to stand any figures up in the middle of the ring. So I have to arrange everything around the edges of the ring and that really pisses me off. The point of this trampoline is to set of the inbuilt sounds, bounce a wrestler on the trampoline and hear a few very unconvincing yells and grunts. I have only one word for you CRAP!!
Apart from that there are a couple of other points worth moaning about, one is the stupid plastic slingshot attached to one side of the ring ropes.
