Just crop the picture and get a picture of the head. Yeah or just put a colored band over the name of the retailer. There is no reason if you have the pic that you can't find a way to share it. Exactly, try to find a way to share the pic with us, bro please  |

He's already told you guys what to do to see it, but it seems nobody wants to do it.

Scared to post a pic? WTF? Why make this post? You know everyone will prefer to see it than read your description.

I wouldn't get too excited though, it's probably not coming out... and #2, it's not the greatest figure in the world. A Spark Plug Holly Head on a CS 13 Mr. Perfect body would even be better.

I don't know about that other than using the wrong thighs (trunks like HHH instead of singlet legs like Rick Steiner) that is a pretty sweet figure. I hope it sees the light of day at some point |

Many years ago I heard someone who used to work for "an all out cool site for gifts" say that they (the employees) were shown the now-canceled Mr. America proto to get an idea of what they were getting for a future pre-order. Nobody saved the image, the figure never actually came out, and now it's gone forever. Is that story true? I doubt anyone could prove it, but it makes sense to me.
Long story short, someone please back up this image.

Long story short, someone please back up this image. I have it saved on my computer, and I know at least two other people have the image, plus a few more it seems (as I don't think I spoke with some that say they've seen it). I doubt it will be lost forever. As far as why I won't post it.... well... I like this board. It's a good community, and I like the classifieds section. That said, I've had a.. rocky past with some of the admins here so far.. and I don't think they'd take kindly to my posting the picture. I could be wrong.... and if someone else posts it and they allow it, great.. but I'm not the one that's gonna take the chance. I made my original post simply to let everyone know that the proto image does indeed exist.. I never promised a picture, and never claimed I'd post one. If you want it, I've told you how to get it, and now you even know a few of the others that have seen it. And while the figure isn't bad.. it's nothing to really write home about either. |

And that got her in trouble with her company when she posted it back then. Blackbird - I did get you AIM message a few minutes ago, but when I went to reply I lost you somehow. Check your PM |

Just to let everyone know, the proto is real - and he has a very good reason why he can't post it - he's told u how to see it - just do that, Now after viewing it, it looks crappy, the head looks more like a long haired 80's hair style on Kurt Angle and the outfit is horrible as well.

That does look like Crash Holly.... I'm surprised they never released it. Great head.. and what else do you need to make the Ringmaster? |

I have seen what the figure looks like, and it really DOES look like '80s hair on Kurt Angle. Just imagine Warrior or Ken Patera's hair on a screaming Kurt Angle scan with thick black eyebrows, and you'll pretty much have it.
It also has the leg mold for trunks instead of shorts does NOT look like Scott Steiner at all, IMO.

Of the ten to fifteen people that have seen the proto.. over half of them's first response was something along the lines of "that looks like a fatter Kurt Angle with 80s hair"... and honestly, I can't disagree. I think the figure falls somewhere right in the middle, of not horrible, but nothing to get excited over. |

Other than the legs of the singlet I liked the figure quite a bit, but in Jakks defense (I never thought I'd say that) Scott's pants would ride up his thighs during the match. But if they just made the one leg white and the other yellow & black like the rest of it hit would have been almost perfect. Still when next to Rick it would be way out of scale as Rick would be the size of the Anvil and Scott the size of Bret.

Makes me wonder if maybe they're going to change small details on attires to avoid issues with copyrights and such... |

I just hope it gets released at some point. as for the thighs a little white paint will fix that to make it look more like a singlet that's riding up. And as for his face it was kind of bloated back then I have an old catalog that shows that. I was really looking forward to Scott and was a bit disappointed when they asked what I wanted to do about my order seeing it was canceled.
