belongs to the same set as this gem that i got a while back
wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=wfnj&thread=247642&page=1
after obtaining the macho i tirelessly researched these and was able to track down their creator. here's an email i got from him;
"Hello Micco,
Well ....its looks like you are quite the investigator!
You have indeed located the creator of both lines. I am pleased that you liked the products.
The fact is, only 1900 disks & balls were ever made. They were never released to the public or mass outlets. The company I licensed them to (WPF) went out of business due to financial problems, shortly after we went into production.
As a result, the items reverted back to me as their rightful owner.
In my personal archives, I do have Packaged production samples of disks only. I believe I have Nash, Goldberg, Sting & Hulk. Unfortunately, I have no WCW Big Footballs, only generic sharks, Penguins and football players. I do however have the original molds for the WCW balls. They are silicone/stone masters and new foam castings could be generated if you are interested.
Why don’t we do this:
Can you please email me a jpeg of the items that you bought on Ebay to make sure they are mine,etc., as I am curious as to where they came from. (links to ebay auction is good too.)
Also, let me know what you want exactly, including how many you are interested in purchasing and what you want to spend for each item.
These are very rare, so please make me a fare offer."
i emailed him back asking him to name his price (i didnt want to be the first one to throw out a number and either overpay or just insult him) and never heard back from him... there's still a huge amount of mystery surrounding these but i'm elated to add another to my collection.
