Thanks for all the great feedback guys - without a doubt this figure will take pride of place in my collection..... One thing Im wondering though.... any suggestions on how to keep it safe - I have toyed with having it AFA graded and put in one of those plastic boxes AFA grading offers - Im keen to keep it safe from fading aswell - its an amazing piece of Hasbro history.... suggestions?

That Warrior figure is truly amazing! I remeber the actual retail version of this figure was the most expensive Hasbro I ever had new....I think it was about £5.50 from Beaties.

Is there any news on the Orange Card/prototypes/sketches from the guy that worked at Hasbro!? Afraid not - he seems to have gone undercover since selling his last lot of figures - he was selling some rare GI Joe and Transformer items too - my guess would be he's had a million people contact him who collect the various lines so is keeping a low profile..... chatting to him via email during this auction though he seemed a nice enough guy so you never know..... I did email him after the auction just to say thanks for the item and had he found anymore but never heard back......my guess would be eventually we will see more.... just a case of waiting....

That looks great.
Isn't funny how retail figures used to come out more detailed than the prototypes? Completely the opposite now, I suppose.

Its a shame there is more than one but doesn't suprise me at all - I guess they make a couple for toy shows and then others for catalogs etc...... its still a super rare item to own - just not as rare as I once thought! There is at least two of them! As you say - now I guess I will sit back and see what price mine might go for if I ever sell! ;D Good luck to all those bidding - My one is the pride of my collection and whoever wins this one gets an amazing item!

They are really nice figures.
I don't understand not putting the ebay links up on here, ok if you find something special missed labelled its the sellers fault and you'd keep it secret. But generally these are public auctions and its only going to help the market if these items go for more money.
I wish I could afford these two, as the earthquake is already at $100 i can imagine they're gonna be out of my price range. My head does keep telling me 'might only get this chance' though.

Judge if i was you and if you have the spare funds, i'd be gunning for the 2nd warrior. There might be only two of these, you have one and if you had the other then you would be sitting on a very nice investment, to have a double of that figure would make excellent trading power in the near future for you !
