Storm Collectibles - Mike Tyson

That's good to know about the new head, old body trick. Lawrence, do you know of any places parting this out?

never mind found couple on e-bay...

really wish they would sell the old body with champ era tatts as a option for this.

Ric no longer make video so we have no clue. I think he is a member of this forum. If you reading this, Ric, how is your holding up!?!

Hmm I paid for mine from BBTS but its in my pile of loot. I am getting a little worry.

Did the Clipper King leave the hobby?

Really like his in-depth reviews and relied on his videos a lot, especially when I first got into the 1:6 hobby a few years ago.

I saw there was a video of Budget Stark visiting him recently in the UK. I thought it was really cool seeing two of my favorite youtubers together.

Just finished un boxing my Storm Collectible Mike Tyson from BBTS.

Here's a quick video for you guys to reference.

The only issue I'm having at the moment is trying to get left elbow to bend like the right elbow without ripping the rubber. His left arm looks like it fell asleep Don't know if the elbow joint is loose or not. Its hard to tell with the seamless arms. Will try and mess with it a little bit more tomorrow.

Overall figure looks good. I'll check back in about a week and let you guys know how it's holding up.

Toy Anxiety. When I get more money, I want to get the trunks, boots, & gloves. Also, I want a compatible cheaper body for the older Storm Toys smiling sculpt. So I can put him in his suit.

By chance when I tried to swap out the sculpts on this figure, I pulled out the neck joint, & neck connector right out of the rubber body It was easy enough to pop the neck connector back in, but I decided since I pulled out the neck joint anyway, I'd leave it on the fierce sculpt, & see if it's compatible on the older Storm Toys body. No mod needed, it fit very nicely. Skin tone match is fine. I decided to swap out the older Storm Toys trunks for the official Everlast one from this figure. I like how stocky the older body looks, so I might leave it like that.

Storm Toys body, hands, & boots. Storm Collectibles sculpt, & trunks.

So is this nude body from the Storm Toys Mike Tyson or Storm Collectibles Mike Tyson? Are they the same company?

That listing is from the Storm Collectibles Tyson body. Its exactly the same one you got from BBTS. The seller listed the name incorrectly.

Plus yes they are the same company. Before SC, they were doing unlicensed stuff under Storm Toys.

Cheers.

What Chockles said. It's a nice alternative body. I like how it makes Tyson look stockier than the Storm Collectibles body, but then I really like the seamless look of that body. Not sure which one I like better.

Thanks Chockles and Lawrence.

Here's a couple of photos. This figure is awesome just wish I could display him in a more dynamic boxing stance without worrying about the rubber tearing.

Thanks Chockles and Lawrence.

You welcome

Btw, I replied back to your PM.

Great pics and look forward to your report soon

Are there anyone else still waiting for their orders from BBTS? Just wondering if everyone has their figure by now?

My two Tysons are still in my Pile of Loot at BBTS.

I have so many unboxed figures at home (Tauriel, "Bank Robbers" from Heat, Heisenberg to name just a few) that I'm going to work on displaying those proper before releasing the Tyson and all the other figures in my BBTS stash. This hobby can get overwhelming at times and I'm also running out of space (first world problems!)

I believe BBTS charged me last month when they first got their shipments of Tyson.

Still waiting for the Olympic version.

Yeah I know what you mean. This hobby has become collecting boxes instead. lol
Well, at least your order has gone through. Since everyone was so eager to get this figure, I would had thought many wanted to quickly open and play with it.
