 oh boy... I think the rudes have been legitimized by the vast majority of the members on these boards. Even proven to exist MOC in 4 different colors. Sorry bud. Thank you, come again.

I'm on the fence about the Rudes, but they certainly do make for a nice looking display. That HBK, though, is most likely fake.

Sorry bud. Thank you, come again. No need to apologise to me  you're welcome! I totally agree they do look pretty though. As you say 'WV' the Shawn figure is almost certainly fake, so please be careful if any of you guys are looking for a 'bargain'. I am sure this isn't it |

The only thing that makes me a little bit hesitant to call the Shawn a fake is that the plastic looks like it's a different shade than the the retail figure would be.
Although, with the way the plastic used on Hasbro figures is changing colors, it's hard to get too picky about exact shades.

Although, with the way the plastic used on Hasbro figures is changing colors, it's hard to get too picky about exact shades. I had a Shawn Michaels #2 that the had only half his head turn color. I mean if half can turn color who knows what is possible with this plastic that was used. I'd show pics but I sold it years ago. |

Although the head appears a bit larger than normal, it looks legit. My Luger (now Dennis'), had half his head painted on an Ultimate Warrior body. I'd call it more of a Shawn mock up than a test shot though.

I just don't want to make another post of me defending myself. My rudes are legit and do look beautiful on display.
TOO MANY times i sit here defending myself.
NO MORE.
I'm the last guy thats gonna take a shawn head and strip it then put it on a martel body and sell it.
I have SOLD TONS of rare and legit error/variants.
I've sent out over 500+ Hasbro's since August.
Half of you who never bought something from me probably hate me. My karma keeps dropping everyday. I dont care. I want to be the first guy wit -1000.
The other half who have dealt with me know that im the REAL DEAL.
4 yellow dustys, 8 rude variants, Razor no mustache, TWO slaughter no names, Warrior 1 on an andre backer.

On behalf of humanitarianaryan, the Rude variants are legit to a point. I'm not sure that there 3,4 or 5 different versions though. There are lighter and darker tights out there MOC and I do own a couple of them myself.

My only thing is when you strip the plastic of color sometimes the pigment from the paint you remove can give the flesh a different hue or the fact the plastic doesn't have the shine that it would generally have can also affect the color of the plastic . |

there are ALWAYS going to be fakers out there and unfortunately there are always going to be people getting stung by them - the only saving grace is that this is THE hasbro board on the net and i'd like to think any Hasbro collector out there who is looking into buying proto's and testshots (lets be honest, not every collector wants them first off, and secondly not every collector can afford them) would have seen this board or be friends with someone who is on this board where advice and help is so freely available. but like i said at the start, there will always be people who fake and there will always be people who get stung unfortunately  |

Agreeing with Hasbromaniac here; it's a mock-up. Testshots usually exist of different colored plastic (chocolate brown, green, yellow etc.) not a painted body with a different head (thus a mock-up). Since I own a "yellow" boots Dusty I'm questioning the variant theory, since mine has only half yellowed boots... That's why I lean towards the oxidized theory (the same process that causes consoles to yellow). I also believe it doesn't only affect white, so that's why there are different shades for Rude. I'd only believe they were variants if someone could show me a picture from 1990 of the different shades (with proof that said picture is truly from 1990). |

It's quite a neat job to fit the head that sits well and still swivels. The process would mean prising the body apart and then sealing it back together, as the base of the head would not fit through the neck hole. Is there any signs of this happening?
I agree on the dusty front. Given the amount of yellow boots dustys on ebay it's very strange not one has turned up in packet.

i don't think this is legit, by the looks of it, I'm very doubtful., however I'm not a hundred percent sure.

I don't think anyone is accusing you of faking it, per se, we're just skeptical and leaning toward the idea that you could have gotten taken on it. Did it come from a reputable seller? You have to admit that it doesn't look like a standard action figure test shot, and if you're certain that it is, a figure like this could really be a game-changer - for better or for worse. |

The terminology is wrong in case of this figure; it's not a testshot, but a mock-up (to show what action feature they'll use on Hasbro HBK) I collect neither, but I'd prefer mock-ups over testshots :-) |

I think mock up/test shot is a fine line with Hasbros . In my opinion the Warrior with Conan arms is a mock up and this would still be a test shot being all the multi-colored are still production plastic just not the appropriate colors and why make a test body when they have one done in production colors already.... OR is the head just considered a test shot technically ? I have a Macho with production Koko legs and multi upper body so I think they used whatever was easier . The part that sucks is most of the ones with the test heads are usually the same production bodies like Steiner, Flair , Tito this is where keeping track if we had seen a HBK before would come in handy .
