Is this the last piece left to be found from the advertisements? Seems like everything else has been found and pictures shared, which is greatly appreciated.

I think so. Would like to see that one as well. Really wanted that figure, liked the mold, kind-of disappointed when I saw the Michaels that was actually released.

i've thought about this several times. with everything that's been discovered, the proto shawn michaels HAS to exist somewhere. right!? or was it destroyed once the released version was decided upon?

Probably not destroyed, since so many things have survived and surfaced eventually. It's more probable that it was lost or damaged/thrown out after being given to a child from an employee who ended up taking it home. Or perhaps the employee kept it, passed away, and it was discarded as "just a toy". Either scenario is horrible to consider, that's for sure.

It's also very possible it's in the hands of a private collector who wants no attention, questions, pic requests etc.
I'm also a huge title belt enthusiast/small collector and I know alot of important ring used championships are kept private for those reasons and never see the light of day on the net.

I'm honestly surprised Zack Ryder wasn't able to snatch it up for his display case lol.

I believe it’s took away hidden in a collection somewhere amongst other unheard of pieces like a MOC Brutus 3...

Long before I knew about prototypes I assumed that my parents had bought me the wrong one and I wondered for years about the HBK from the ad. I would love to know if this rare gem does still exist though.
