Didn't you post that before? Or did you, but not own it at the time?

Is it the one that has been sold on ebay years ago? I remember people discussing its authenticity. How does it compare to the "true scale" Tugboat? Man you really need to add a little bit more of backstory to your achievements. I always enjoy your findings but a little story where it came from etc would be the cherry ob the cake.  Congrats to another nice score! 🍻 |

Congrats to another nice score! 🍻 Unfortunately, a lot of big time collectors say fake when they just don’t own it. People were claiming fake when the first R&B Greg popped up years ago. I remember people saying the lines on Tugboat’s shirt weren’t perfectly straight, so it had to be a custom. Well the lines aren’t perfectly straight because IT’S HAND PAINTED. When I acquired the 1:1 unpainted Tugboat, I knew the 2 Up had to be real. Everything, every little wrinkle in the pants, matches exactly. Then I found out this originated from a hasbro employee who drew the artwork for the back of the boxes. I have 7 2 ups, have sold 2 others. This Tugboat is 1000% legit. |

They would have made 2 ups for all the Hasbros surely? Why would anyone say it wasnt real? I dont recall seeing people saying it was fake

Was it still owned by the ebay high bidder? So what is missing from here on? Any more hot irons in the fire? |

So it looks like Tugboats "Wrestling Action" was going to involve a pullback punch, interesting. Man I wish Hasbro had the WWE figure line so they could make proper "retro" figures, would love to get both of these figure as well as green tights Macho, HBK on Virgil body, Mega Maniacs Brutus Beefcake, HF Jim Neidhart, Diesel, USA Lex, etc.

(macho man #3 but with long purple/green tights) |
