Hey guys. I don't usually post on here but I was wandering around eBay and saw this. I don't remember seeing anyone bring this up and wanted to know if anyone knew what series this is from. Or is it unreleased? Any help would be appreciated.

If it's the same guy, he lists them as a prototype. I've bought a figure from him, and it was a fine transaction. However, if it is a prototype like it's listed it shouldn't be talked about here because it's against the rules as it's likely stolen from a warehouse.

So, please stop trying to be the bad ass of the board, and contribute if you've got something to contribute, rather than troll. Thanks. You don't likely have an abundant of "un-released / prototype" figures because you bought them from the store. |

Its even smaller than triple h. They also use basic boots that are too small to re use on anything. My advice would be even though they are being sold cheap. Save your $$$ its not worh it and you will be mad when you finally have it in front of you. |

On this same subject, has anyone else come across the guy that sells almost exclusively elite 'prototype' figures? It's pathetic, really. For example he'll have E4 Kane and William Regal almost constantly. He claims they're prototypes but really, they're just figures that have had almost all of their paint stripped all the way down to different colored plastics. Cracks me up.

I have one, it's an unreleased figure. These have no eyebrows. I also got an unreleased Rey in elite form in DX colors (basically the same as the Superstar Matchups except in elite form). I paid about $35 shipped internationally for both of them, maybe a little less, It was a while ago, don't really remember. Huge Batista fan and Rey was just something to get to diversify my collection from others. For the price I paid, it was well worth it.
PS-I am in no way disappointed with the figure. very happy with it and would make the same decision if it came up again. And this is from someone who owns the figure.

These are real prototypes. They are sold in a store like this.
I filmed that one around June this year. I had a nice talk with the owner of this store. I asked him where he got this USA Warrior from. I said its awesome to find stuff like this here. He told me that he gets the figures send from Mattel. The figures that are overproduced and have marks, stains etc. Then he got a huge box from the back with like 300 loose Mattel figures in it. I was looking through the box and picked out 7 USA Warriors. This was the obly time I saw the USA Warrior.
The Batista, Rey, Jeff prototypes are not hard to find here. As you can see in the video all the other figs are official released Mattels, so why should there be 3 bootlegs between them?

Mismatching colors on parts shotty painting, cheap plastic. I don't care what the guy told you because he was lying. |
