I bought these three 1997 S.T.O.M.P. Series 1 figures (Brian Pillman, Crush, Ahmed Johnson) on eBay 7 days ago for $8.19 shipped (or $2.73 per MOC figure). This imaginary line of wrestling figures in military-style gear is partly in scale with the regular BCA figures, although the parts are made entirely of hard plastic.
The six figures in the set use the same body mold, but with different sculpts for their color-coordinated accessories.
Prior to the second series of the Slammers line, Pillman's only Jakks WWF figure was his S.T.O.M.P. Series 1 creation, which isn't a terrible likeness and the closest to his actual wrestling attire.
Crush had been previously released in BCA form, but the S.T.O.M.P. line offered his last new figure with the company (until the CS line), and it's worth noting that the tattoo is removed from his forehead (from his days with the Nation of Domination) on this particular figure.
Ahmed Johnson features a new head sculpt, but everything else is fictional (as was the majority of the S.T.O.M.P. figures). The accessories for all of the figures are unique and fun to display, but not exactly what one might picture when thinking about professional wrestling.
My take: If you can find these figures for relatively cheap and enjoy the fictionalized nature of the line, than go for it, but pass on these if you're looking for actual likenesses of the wrestlers.
Fun fact: Four of the six figures in the first series use new head sculpts (Crush and Steve Austin are from previous BCA figures).
Thanks for looking, and have a nice day!
