I have seen many playmates ring masters and I happen to know that Andre and Austin were featured on the back of the carding.I never saw them in stores (these may have been Kay-Bee exclusives). My question is does anybody own Andre or Austin ? Did you ever see them in stores? Were they scrapped for some reason? Any help would be great guys  |

Sorry, they were not released at retail. Not to say that a prototype isn't out there.

It's funny you should mention this, because I was just looking at the old Playmates WWF website on the Internet Archive yesterday and saw that Andre and Austin were scheduled for a December (1997?) release. They were cancelled, and I'm sure someone must own the prototypes (as shown below).   |

my understanding is that playmates stopped production halfway through the run of the 4 differning lines because of how popular Jakks figures were,Playmates then sold the remaining figures to Jakks. Jakks relabelled them with stickers and sold them...this is info i've picked up over the years, correct me if it's wrong, but sounds like if they were on the back of the carding and were never released then it w because they were never produced.... Playmates/Jakks don't really interest me and i have never collected them so if thes figures were released then hoepfully someone canhelp out  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: apologies, Hasbromaniac and Chicago posted while i was typing, sounds like they were never produced for sale |

Speaking of the WWF Playmates figures, I own the prototype of the unreleased "Heroes of Wrestling" Bret Hart. I'll have to upload pics on here some time if anyone has any interest in seeing it.

There's a difference between negativity and skepticism. Not to mention there has been a considerable amount of deception on this board as of late, particularly as it relates to a certain imaginary ex hasbro employee.

Yes, but WV has been her over 5 years. if he wanted to scam, he likely would have done it by now. The only thing that took longer in terms of scams is Kane's waiting for vengenge all these years, LOL
