thanks for your opinion on this hasbromaniac, i know of a huge seller in the states who looked at some detailed pics and agreed this was the intended mailaway before the powers that be intervened and settled on the purple heart paint job as there was plenty left over from series 4s error paintjob. without name dropping, i have had confirmation on what this item is from more than one reputable hasbro dealer/collector. its a shame people have to try and belittle gems like this, but ultimately thats what happens on these boards!

Hi Kev - im curious as to how you think the figure is well overpriced? is it for sale someplace? the way i see things is this paint error is in the same pool as the very rarest. one of three known worldwide. i think most people would agree he is worth a bit more than £100-£150! nice collection you have though kev

Who on earth verified this piece when clearly it has not been determined 100% what this item is.
Above telling us this is a genuine paint job I can't see what other value this verification holds except for tainting the name of the company who did it because they have put their name to something they can't prove

It's still a fantastic figure though. I sometimes forget how much awesome stuff Kev has - I remember the day you came round to my apartment and bought my Hogan #1 UK Mailaway from me ;D glad it's still safe and sound!

Just think around £800 is way over the top. I've got 1 of 1 Bret - taker error card and I paid bout £450 for that. There's loads of 1 off figures that fetch less than £450. It's only a touch of white on a wrist band.

sorry ken - again, you seem to be confused.
a touch of white on the wrist tapes? £800?? not me mate.
and believe me, as hasbromaniac says, paint variations on completed figures are far more unique than an error card.
£150? your just showing how little you respect other peoples collections mate.
Your collection is amazing mate, some grade a stuff, but you have joined the bandwagon here without knowing where you are. to quick to jump in and have a bash - do you even realise my bret doesnt have white wrist tape??
this bret i have is a completed and originally carded figure - and theres three known of worldwide. authenticated. high grade prototype.
what do you have? a one of 10million undertaker on a 1 of 10million bret card - and you feel thats worth 4x this?! in my eyes you dont know much.
oh, one more thing - white wrist tape? £150? your actually knocking cdp,s figure now.
theres a reason this board is being ridiculed on other forums kev, and its because of people like you jumping the gun and trying to downgrade peoples pride and joy. your all old members now who have forgotten that other people have information, views and collections that your never gonna see because the vast majority or main eventers in here are rude, self obsessed and they funniest part is that you think your right!
also - why try and hijack this thread kev? why would you post your collection on my thread?

sorry ken - again, you seem to be confused. a touch of white on the wrist tapes? £800?? not me mate. It's only slight colour change that's the difference to others. and believe me, as hasbromaniac says, paint variations on completed figures are far more unique than an error card. £150? your just showing how little you respect other peoples collections mate. Not being disrespectful to your collection just my opinion on the figure. Your collection is amazing mate, some grade a stuff, but you have joined the bandwagon here without knowing where you are. to quick to jump in and have a bash - do you even realise my bret doesnt have white wrist tape?? Yes it's pink. To me it doesn't show much difference. Just my opinion. Not on any band wagon. this bret i have is a completed and originally carded figure - and theres three known of worldwide. authenticated. high grade prototype. I don't see it as a prototype personally. I see it as a variant. what do you have? a one of 10million undertaker on a 1 of 10million bret card - and you feel thats worth 4x this?! in my eyes you dont know much. I'm not saying its worth £450, it's what I paid. oh, one more thing - white wrist tape? £150? your actually knocking cdp,s figure now. No I'm not. theres a reason this board is being ridiculed on other forums kev, and its because of people like you jumping the gun and trying to downgrade peoples pride and joy. your all old members now who have forgotten that other people have information, views and collections that your never gonna see because the vast majority or main eventers in here are rude, self obsessed and they funniest part is that you think your right! I don't think I'm right it's just my opinion. OPINION. I've not had a shot at you. I've given a OPINION on 1 wrestling figure. As for being rude. Well your the one deciding to gimmick my name. And I think you'll find your am older member than myself. also - why try and hijack this thread kev? why would you post your collection on my thread? 2 people asked me for a link so I posted it.

Now that I've answered your questions, I'll just finish in saying. It's my opinion I'm entitled to that. I couldn't care if you or anyone values my collection at £1. Or £1million. It's my collection and further more I couldn't care much for many people opinion on it. Hopefully it stays with me if not so be it. Take care.

Hasbro Ken - you didnt answer any of my questions buddy - all you did was quote me then posted a second message saying "now that i have answered all your questions" you didnt answer any mate, and i like showing people up who put their snide opinion towards me, so heres the questions you have yet to answer 1/ why are you knocking bret white wrist tape? "just a bit of white paint" it belongs to cdp and i think its worth more than any error card. 2/ where did you get your price from when you stated my bret was well over priced (i hadnt even priced it!!)? or where you just trying to make my piece look cheap mate? 3/ do you honestly think a standard undertaker on a standard bret card is rarer and of more value than this bret? 4/ you said "theres loads of 1 off figures?? which ones made it to the point the have a working action move and made it on to a card as a fully produced figure? the answer? just the brets.....and kamala moon Ken - i think you should read back on your posts mate - clearly your WRONG in around 5 different areas. you didnt answer anything - but im happy for you to give it a go. unfortunatly you dont know as much as you thought you did when you butted in at the wrong time and said cdps figure (not mine) was worth £100. im happy to keep coming back here and showing you up mate, so i would stop now. Im sure your wfigs cronies will back you up, mainly due to the fact they are probably as childish as you are, but ive stated facts about how you conduct yourself, throwing around comments on items you are not even familure with (cant believe you thought the only difference was white wrist tape!!!!). stop now ken

Enjoy your figure for what you believe it to be and stop having a go at the rest of the board. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Ultimately if you ever need to sell your collection these will be the people you will be hoping to buy it and therefore don't burn all your bridges.

Ultimately if you ever need to sell your collection these will be the people you will be hoping to buy it and therefore don't burn all your bridges. Agreed. Although, this thread has been better than the soaps. It turned from a good thread showing of a truly brilliant figure (which, i also believe is a variant not a proto - no offence) to a comedy thread. And I don't appreciate being called childish - or a kronie, as you just labelled me. Isn't calling people names childish!? Enjoy your figure, and don't be so bothered about what other people think. And don't forget, a figure is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it - nothing more. It's only a TOY at the end of the day. Why does every thread turn in to an argument these days?

2 peole asked for Kevs pictures, hence why he posted the link, he's not hijaking your thread.
He also has a right to his opinion, he said he liked it but to HIM it was majorly over priced and HE wouldn't pay more than xxx for it. That's a perfectly acceptable view.
As for bringing up the integrity of othe "main eventers" in here (a title gained based on post counts across the entire forum) i'm not quite sure what that's all about tbh

I accept other peoples opinions, but to STATE my figure is something i know it isnt isnt nice. your entitled to your opinions, but not to come on to my thread and say im wrong in my information. you dont own the figure....you dont know where it came from, and you do not know its origin or purpose. i know all of the above, so yes opinions are welcome, but people saying it isnt what i know it is will get a defending repsonse from me wont they!? adam74 - nothing you have said or posted has offended me in any way - you posted your opinion and your thoughts - thats acceptable to me because your not telling me i am wrong. your giving your opinion and i welcome that. And believe me, you were never referred to as a cronie - not aimed at you in any way and due to the fact you have not tried to belittle this piece in any way i see you as a good guy mate all im saying is people shouldnt for any reason be coming on here and saying the fig is only worth £100 - any true collector who knows the value of these would be offended - just as i am. I accept opinions, but due to the fact i know where this figure came from, and its history, and due to the fact that the biggest dealer in the states and the wfigs member with the most knowledge on hasbros (hasbrmaniac) agrees with me on what this figure is, i find it very poor that some members are not giving an opinion, but stating my figure isnt what i know it is.
