What did he look like? So we would know if we ever spotted a switcher out loose in the wild.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I felt like the guy was going to try to be confrontational after I outed him but thankfully he wasn't. If he has the guts to post here, I hope he's banned. I don't know if he does indeed post on THIS forum, but when we once talked about figures as I was stocking them he said he posted on a few major wrestling figure forums...this is one of the only ones I know of... What did he look like? So we would know if we ever spotted a switcher out loose in the wild. Actually, if you shaved that guy's face, gave him thicker eyebrows, and made him hispanic you'd have a near replica haha.

Good job, man.
I can't believe grown people have the ballz to do stuff like this with toys. These people are pathetic. He should be happy he didn't get arrested.

The store should check the security footage and ban him if he ever tries to come back. Honestly, he shouldn't have been allowed to leave. He tried to bilk the store out of money and should be arrested.

Hey everyone! Yeah so, I think I've explained that I work in retail before in prior posts. We're all aware that people buy figures, swap out the Mattel figure with an old Jakks figure or even an outdated version of the same Mattel figure... Today I was up at the Customer Service Desk checking a phone. I get called up when someone's returning a phone and I check the serial numbers, etc. By chance, someone next to the person whose phone I was checking out was returning wrestling figures. It was a guy who I've see shop around, and he's even told me he posts on popular message boards about the hobby (if he posts here, and reads this, go yourself). Anyway...I saw two Elite boxes in his bag and thought "Oh, maybe he bought them and they were missing accessories..." because sometimes the belts or shirts get stolen. He pulled out two boxes, Elite 15 Yokozuna and Elite 15 Mark Henry. If I didn't already have Yokozuna I would have marked and probably bought Yoko at a later time. However, upon seeing them laid on the counter I noticed that they were not the correct figures. Inside the Yoko box was a Jakks Yokozuna without the robe (and it was stretching the plastic inside, to where the corners were ripping) and inside of the Mark Henry box was a basic Mark Henry in black and red...I think it's from a Battle Packs series, with no WHC. I pointed it out to the person talking to him and she said that she couldn't accept the returns, and he said "no you don't understand, the belt was already gone when I bought it, and I didn't notice so I'm returning both." To which I stepped in and said, "These are NOT the correct figures, these are both incorrect and wouldn't have been sold this way, I monitor the Toys Dept. and I know that I never had JAKKS and old BASiC figures in Elite packaging," and that was when he either realized he wasn't getting away with it or remembered me and stormed off with both figures saying that we're scamming him. Needless to say, I'm disgusted with people. If that person posts here, they can go straight to hell. What did he look like? I picture a fat guy with glasses and facial hair wearing a black shirt with some sort of dumb a$% phrase on it like "my other shirt is dirty" and wearing a hat. Oh and wearing shorts that go above his knees! Please let me know if I'm close lol

Scammer corpsing?
SEND IN THE MAN!
Good going! I luckily never had this problem around here, only stolen crap from boxes but otherwise I've never seen switches like this. I don't get the point of this at all.

AMEN! Thank God you served him some justice. You should have also called security on his ass to detain him while the police showed up. They could have arrested him for fraud.

How do grown men justify stealing/swapping these things? It's so sad, not to mention you're just dicking over some kid who winds up getting it.

Damn, if he looks like that, I can see why he pulled a switcheroo. Dude looks like he still lives with his mom and has no job, only money for burgers. lol

Awesome work...I bet that dude gets away with it all the time, maybe the embarrassment of this denial will at least keep him from coming back to your store.

Is there no further action you could have taken? Or would have been a his word versus yours? Cus if you could have banned him that would have been ace, imagine if he got banned from all his local stores, justice that is. Scumbag.
