It came from the Toy Chest: The car only rins when I say "What!?"

 I received a Wal-Mart WWE Wrekkin' Stone Cold Crusher Monster Truck... it has soft tires. It has a spring loaded action feature and obviously the breakable parts. There is a second version of this truck without the Stone Cold motif and figure. I got this as a very belated birthday present from my cousin. Apparently she read my rant whining about Wal-Mart canceling my preorder. You freaking rock!

Let's get the action feature out of the way.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure if it's supposed to work that way because underneath that breakable part there's a disc with footholes to make Stone Cold stand there. So let's try it again without the back cover:

It's more disappointing this way... but let's talk the main event: Can it become a Toitle Tenderizer?
Only of you have a 3D printer and can make a taller canopy for the truck.

But not all is lost, because Super7 is not the ONLY one with TMNT TOYS
NECA can use it instead.
But to be honest, customizing it into a Toitle Tenderizer that Rocksteady and Bebop can't use is pointless for me. So, I'll give it to Nefty-kun's dad... A CUSTOM EPF agent I made with a loose incomplete Snake Eyes I got a while back.
There he is, showcasing the broken parts and about to throw the seat at Austin. And Nefty-kun's stepmom is coming as well... and a female EPF agent that looks like Ana de Cobray. 
So, I've showcased the truck more or less, but 
I still haven't discussed how I feel about it. Whelmed. I mean, it's big but not Big Enough.
I mean, we all know that Steve Austin figure was going to be a piece of crap. The truck itself is not bad, but it's a monster truck. It's not something that you can easily put into a diorama display and make it make sense. Because the other WWE vehicles actually makes sense in non-wrestling dioramas. 

I have to tackle the worst part of the set:
Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The figure sucks ass Because it's a basic figure and due to the long jeans is barely poseable... even for a basic figure. The older Basic Figures or the CAWs had better articulation than this modern basic figure.

This Stone Cold can't do most of his iconic poses...

Normally I would do a numeric rating to express how much I like or dislike the toy. I won't be doing this today. It would be unfair to the toy.

If you're willing to customize one for your NECA figures, knock yourself out. But if you wanted a Super7 compatible Toitle Tenderizer, you're shit out of luck!
