“Stone Cold” Steve Austin is latest WWE Icon
By Chris Olds | Beckett Sports Card Monthly Editor
A beer-guzzling, attitude-fueled WWE legend is the latest star to get the McFarlane Toys treatment.
His name is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and he’s the star of the newest 23-inch tall resin statue display in the WWE Icons line from the long-running toy-maker. The premium piece comes with a swatch of the ring apron from WrestleMania 17 in Houston, Texas, where the home-state hero took on The Rock and won the WWE championship.
The statutes are limited to just 500 hand-numbered copies and sell for $295. A limited run of 50 autographed statues already has sold out at $395 apiece.
Austin is the third statue in the line, which launched in October 2013 with a figure of Undertaker. The most-recent previous release was a statue of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, which also was limited to 500 pieces. It is now sold out.
The Austin statue is being sold exclusively via the McFarlane Toys Collectors Club and WWEShop.com. You can learn more by clicking here.
