Tallest guy in the display case!

I had mentioned in the past that I was going to try and acquire a Steve Austin fig down the line. He (and Mattel's Pulsar) are both relatives and competitors to Joe; and are the toys that influenced the toys that i grew up with. Kenner's success with the line led to their even greater success with the Star Wars line. The only childhood fig I have is from their (sadly overlooked) Indiana Jones series.

This past weekend, this showed up on my doorstop, thanks to Dal!



I put him in some SOTW clothes for the time being. They are cut quite large for 1/6 figs, but fit Steve fairly well. (Sleeves and trouser legs are a bit short)



Next to a similarly dressed MB Joe:



Thought that I'd post some comparison pics to how Steve stacks up to some standard 1/6 figs. They are a MOA, DML (taller) figure and Sideshow James Bond.



Next to a '64 body Joe:

Next to a Sideshow 007:



The Sideshow fig has a similar inseam, but is much more narrow.

Great addition Nate!

It's weird every time I see height comparison shots with a Joe, Steve Austin seems to look even bigger than he did in the last comparison shots!

He looks great Nate!, good to see him settling in with you . Yeah his is rather large!!, but offers a little height difference I guess

The fact that Joe/VAM are short for 1/6 scale. Something like 5'8" or 5'9". Steve is about 6'6" in comparison.

Steves towering...

Great addition to your collection Glidah Drivah...

Just a slight update. Got Steve some proper footwear!

Nice shoes Nate! Are they original? I'm not familiar with that figure as I
was about 15 years old when Steve Austin figure came out...

Yes, they are the sneakers that originally came with the red tracksuit. They've darkened with age. I only caught the show on reruns. Being an 80s kid, Steve Austin will always be the Fall Guy to me!

I've got a Six Million Dollar Man outfit on the way; going to take some pics of Steve and Mike Power showing off their 70s threads!

I remember watching the show all the time as a kid but I was to old at that time to
get the Steve Austin Action figure...
So I remember him best as the six million dollar man give or take away a few bucks...

Just got an official outfit for Steve!



Showing off the 70s style with Mike Power!

very cool Nate!, he looks great, the denim gives him that real 70s look

Does your 6 million dollar Man and Mike Power try to out-do each other?
Great looking outfits Nate!

He'll always be Heath Barkley to me...

Nice SMDM there, Nate! a scale 6' 6"
