I'm a big mattel collector now but years ago I was a hasbro man! I remember I ordered all 3 Mail Away figures from the wwf magazine and was told later that they didn't get enough orders so they would not be selling the figs and they refunded my money. Later on i went to a wwf house show in MSG (Wrestlemania 10 revenge tour. Right after WM10) and at the merchandise stand they were selling a hasbro Bret with purple heart in the sealed bag and an Undertaker with the mailaway color beard and his coat also in the sealed bag. I was a child and didn't know any better so I took them home and open the bags and played with them! Now my question is, Where those the mail away figures?

As I got older and re-bought my whole collection so it would be in mint condition I ended up with the mail away Hogan and Taker and the Bret; I had him MOC. Why was that released carded? Just because hasbro had them laying around?

it is likely that these were the mailaway, i have never heard of them at a house show though.
Which one are you talking about being moc? There was a Bret with a purple heart released moc but there are differences between this and the mailaway. The same with the undertaker with cloak. The Hogan was never released on card.

I ordered all 3 and only got Hogan. I would have been so upset if I would have got the Bret and it was (I'm sure as far as I could tell back then at least) the exact same figure I already had instead of the kick-ass repaint in the catalog.

Hogan is definatly the best of the 3 they made, I could care less about having the other 2 since they're so close to the carded versions.
I think of the prototypes though the Bret was the one I wanted mose of the 3.

The Bret mail away proto would have been the best hasbro made. His red card version was great but the mail away was better.

I think there's no difference to the MOC Bret and Bret in bag.

There are little hearts! Larger hearts! Brighter! Darker and more more more.
I do not know if it was different colour all in the Bags.

The legs are meant to be a more vibrant tone of pink on the mailaway Bret, although I think it would be quite difficult to tell the difference if loose, unless you had both next to each other to compare.
Such a shame they didnt use the original prototype design for the mailaway

ive compared it to a bagged mailaway and the colour of the tights is the same on my loose one so iam guessing that it is a loose mailaway. But then i can never be 100% certain it is |
