Stone Cold Steve Austin
WWE Defining Moments
Mattel/ 7" Scale
$22.99 - 25.99+
Stone Cold's first foray into the "Defining Moments" line comes from the infamous "beer bath" episode of RAW, briefly recounted in the packaging text. I remember watching that episode and it was a great moment in WWE history. You could always count on SCSA to do the unexpected.
Mattel delivers Stone Cold decked out in his hunting attire from that wild night and other appearances. The jacket is surprisingly thick for an action figure garment. It features a hood held down by a single stitch on the back. I assume removing it would allow the hood to fit over Austin's head, but I prefer to keep it intact, keeping the hood down against the figure's back.
DM Stone Cold also includes a new ball cap. It's the same mold as the cap included in the WWE All-Stars two-pack, however this one is molded in light brown with black paint apps to deliver it's camouflage motif. The front of the cap is stamped with "STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN" and a 3:16 skull in the center.
As popular as the "beer bath" segment was and my eagerness to own this figure, in truth I couldn't wait to get it, strip of the hunting garb and slap on his 3:16 vest to create his iconic promo look. Still, the hunting stuff is cool enough to display and you feel like you get your money's worth for the figure overall. I ordered mine from the Mattel online shop where I took advantage of a free shipping offer. He was $22.99(+ tax), which is three dollars cheaper than what Toys R Us offers him for (online, I still haven't seen him in stores). Even though he already sold out, Ringside Collectibles saw fit to charge $29.99 for him, which is just crazy. I was holding out for him at TRU (the only retail store in my area that still sells DM figures), but when he came in-stock on Mattel's website, I ordered him right away. If you've never been a SCSA fan, the DM mark up will surely keep you away, but Stone Cold fans won't want to pass up on him.
