Being honest I can;t see why Kamala always gets a top notch price. I know he's rare. But if thats the case then surely a SGT Slaughter No name would be worth as much. Considering what you see a Prototype sell for. Why would an error card be worth that much? A freakin' error should be worth less than a normal one... Did you mean "He" just lost a lot of money or did you intend to say "I" meaning not making it to the finals of the tournament?

I used a error as a example. What I’m saying is if there is 1 of that figure type compared to 24 Kamala surely the 1 would be more desirable I have A slaughter with no name. There is more than 1. Ofcourse there's more than one. It probably was one batch that got printed wrong. I'm not saying a MOC Moon Kamala is worth $12,000 but it's most definitely worth more than no name Slaughter. I'd say in value it's just below red carded Hitman with BLACK elbowpads.

I don't think I could ever bring myself to spend that much on this - even though I love hasbro's

Ok then I’ll try and make it a little easier. Right Kamala is up at $12,000 If I had $12,000 spare I would opt for a Greg V R&B prototype or a Macho Man green trunk should they be available. I’m not knocking Kamala and it’s greatness it fetches but I do believe that is no longer the Holy Grail.

The proto without moustache still looks closer to the real Giant Gonzales. Agreed. He does look better in the prototype display image, also wish they would have kept the same paint scheme on the doink for the figures they released:

The proto has more detail and color on the singlet as well as his trademark mismatched boots.

Amazing! I stopped collecting Hot Toys because They were not enjoyable for me anymore. Prices were rising every quater, version 2.0, 3.0 etc. announced before the release of the original. Basically the figure was worth half the money you paid for when it finally was at your door. Therefore I went back to vintage toys. Current focus is on WWF Hasbro, but the price inflation is breathtaking.

For me the Kamala Moon is the ultimate holy grail. This is the figure all Hasbro collectors knew about shortly after the series finished and has a legitimate back story. Black elbow pad Bret is a newer revelation for me and doesn't hold the same historic significance.

Saw a post on Zack Ryders instagram story (not his main photos) of the moon belly Kamala so looks like another one in his collection!

I could be wrong and I trust someone on here will know for sure, but if I remember correctly I thought all legit Kamala moon Hasbros also had a green standards tag since they were never released to the public?
