Happy 3:16 Day Everyone!
Back in 2016 we did up this gallery showing off Defining Moments Stone Cold. Just kept it simple and had some fun by having Stone Cold give Stunners to everyone! Over the years many folks have reshared this on social without credit. It’s ok, I get it, but just so you all know this is where it came from. Read on to check out all the STUNNING pics after the break, and feel free to share this if you dig it! Make sure to check out our more recent WWE Ultimates Stone Cold gallery too! HELL YEAH!
Stone Cold Stuns Everyone by Toyark.com circa 2016
Original story below….
We here at Toyark don’t focus on wrestling figures very often, there are a ton of great sites out there and we aren’t into the lines full on at a personal level. Every once and a while though Mattel drops a gem and we pay attention. I’ve been looking for a Stone Cold figure to slip into the all purpose shelves for a while, and the recent Defining Moments figure hit the spot. I was lucky enough to find one in the wild so let’s take a look at him after the break as he stunners through the rest of my super hero shelves. :)
Defining Moments Stone Cold Steve Austin
Pros
Good solid Stone Cold fig
Good articulation
Jacket and tattoo paint apps crisp
Awesome set of belts
Cons
None
Overall
I can’t really compare this Stone Cold to any others, never had em. All I know is it was above average for the other multiple tiers of Mattel WWE figures, and it does the job representing the Texas Rattlesnake in my collection. The quality and articulation was higher than I was expecting – it allowed for a ton of cool poses. Paint was on point. Sculpt is good, captures Stone Cold’s body type and the face is above average for a mass release figure like this (without comparison to priors that is). Bonus, I personally always loved the “Circle Belt”, the one after the future Hardcore belt and before the “Skull Belt”. It was short lived but awesome. It was included here, along with the other two mentioned, and all are super well done. I wanna champ-up all my non wrestling figs with em now. They’re a far cry from scotch taping quarters and nickels and dimes together as a kid. It was a fun well done figure to run through some photos with, and that’s the bottom line, cuz Tony_Bacala said so!
Check the pics below, full stunner sets for multiple figs here.

Not super into Wrestling figs, but, was fun. He's the champ on these shelves now.
This gallery is one of the greatest I have ever seen on this site. Its awesome and hilarious.
For all the crap Mattel gets, for their superhero figures, they really do a pretty good job on their wrestling figures. There could be a bit more in the way of variety (as in wrestlers, past and present...Lord knows there's a variation of every John Cena appearance known to man...) but in terms of sculpts, poseability, paints and fun factor, the WWE Elite Series figures are pretty on point.
I have to say, I LOVE the shot of He-Man overselling the SC Stunner the way The Rock used to...that had me laughing out loud. Awesome photo set. It's nice to see some wrasslin love here on the Ark...
Great gallery & great review. JAKKS Pacific did a lot of great WWE figures back in the day & although the rest of their products aren't well made, Mattel has done well to maintain the quality with their take on the franchise.
Lol!!! Awesome shoot!
I have this figure and its awesome. The WWE defining moments is probably their best line.
And like how others have mentioned, the elite series brings so much articulation and fun to the table. Bet this was a fun review to do!
Awesome Gallery! Love the fluid life and action that you manage to capture in each shot. Stunners for all!
(And Piccolo would have been too smart to get caught in one. ...Well, at least DDP has yet to get him in my room(s), after 19 years of Diamond Cutters. heh)
What?
WHAT?

It's back for 3:16 Day 2021!
Oh hell yeah! Post any and all Stone Cold things here as we celebrate the Texas Rattlesnake.
You nailed how Spidey would sell the stunner. Lol.
Nice and fun pics Tony. Would have loved to have seen the Rattlesnake against Thanos and Thor...and for some DC flavor Superman and Bane. Cause you know what Austin 3:16 means...
... that I just whipped your ass!


These were done in 2016, so Thanos wasn't on the radar yet.
However, a new Ultimates Stone Cold was revealed today so maybe round two later this year hehe...
And because why not:

Optimus is going full Scott Hall on the sell, lol.

I remember watching this with a friend. He was into wrestling, I hadn't been since the Hulkamania days, and then it was over. I was all in for the whole Attitude run. Every PPV, RAW, Smackdown for years. And now I'm out again.
And HOLY F that gif is amazing LOL. I dunno if I ever saw that.
Oh hell yeah!
I never liked Stone Cold... didn't like his shtick with the beer... probably cause I don't drink though... I was more into Goldberg back then I think... Austin had a cool finisher though and carried wrestling for a while before he hurt his neck. I remember watching a video in his early wrestling days and he had long hair and looked like a pretty boy and had a totally different persona... then he changed his character and got popular and like the Stone Cold character became his real life character... it was just surreal.
