The WCW Galoob Action Figure line was an action figure toy line based on the wrestlers of the now defunct World Championship Wrestling promotion (WCW). They were made by the toy company Galoob from 1990 to 1991. The toys were made of a solid plastic pose, with no animation. Some were sold with accessories and every figure had a gold belt with “WCW” printed on it in black. -wikipedia
This line was designed to compete with the recently released WWF Hasbro Action Figures line, as the figures were about the same size. The figures were released in the United States in 1990, and were re-released in the United Kingdom in 1991. Ten of the original twelve figures were released in the UK, but with different color outfits. Tom Zenk and Butch Reed were not released in the UK set. The UK set also released some brand new figures, known as UK exclusives. The UK exclusives were not a set that was intended to be only released in the UK, they were supposed to be part of the 2nd series in the US along with some of the ones that were seen later as prototypes. -wikipedia
