Open it.
Jim Cornette MOC is not worth more than $5-6, and it's worth it for the headset and tennis racket alone.

I just bought a shoe box full of weapons from a yard sale for $1.00 The lady said her son already sold all of his figures. The lot included a dumpster and an annoucers table.

Sorry, I got sidetracked with other things this past week and haven't had the time to do either a write-up or take pictures of my recent buys.
I will post a sneak preview later today.

is that the entire first and second series?
Those are almost surely the most valuable of the Jakks prototypes of the produced figures.. since they were the very first of the line.

Wowsers! Where did you dig those up from? The story behind the purchase is the best part, to tell you the truth. I guess the only way to preface it would be to direct you to these blog entries of mine from March and April (respectively) of last year: Terry L. Lattimer, Where Are You?Catching up with Terry Lattimer, the man behind BCAJust being able to reach the man and speak with him about his creation was an incredible experience for me as a fan of the BCA line. I would have told you then that I doubt anything could top that, as far as being a BCA collector is concerned, but I was proven wrong about a month and a half ago. Three BCA prototypes (Owen Hart, Razor Ramon and Ultimate Warrior) were listed on eBay in the middle of July and I happened to stumble across them within that first day of bidding. The opening bid was $49.99 each for the three separate listings (reasonable for me, considering I spent $55.81 on a S.T.O.M.P. Series 3 Sable prototype last July), and from the moment I saw them I knew they had to be mine. I was worried that the cost of shipping (it was set for $10 and change, each coming from California) would be a little too steep, so I contacted the seller about the prospects of a combined shipping discount. He/she responded and I received an e-mail notification from eBay not long after which I checked right away. Only then could I see the seller's location/information in the message and it was none other than Terry Lattimer. The first thought that popped into my head was "Small world, eh?" I couldn't believe it. He remembered me from the e-mails we sent back and forth last year, and so he tipped me off to the other BCA prototypes in his possession that were for sale. He said that he recently discovered boxes of prototypes, painted samples and original sculpts from various toy lines, including Jakks BCA, in his collection and he wanted to see them go to serious collectors as opposed to collecting dust in storage for another 15-16 years. We worked out a deal for the remaining pieces, which included the rest of Superstars Series 1 complete (well, almost, but I'll get to that in a bit) and Series 2 (basically just Vader to go with Owen and Warrior, since Bret/Shawn/'Taker were all repaints from Series 1). The reason why I said "almost" complete before is that Goldust has Owen's legs (Terry couldn't find a pair of Goldust's legs at the time he was preparing them for me, so he replaced them with Owen Hart ). Oh, and after receiving them I realized that 'Taker is missing his original legs and has a pair that belongs to, you guessed it, Goldust. So, I'm only really out a pair of Series 1 'Taker legs (for now, I'll check back with him again soon for any leftover loose parts), but it's not a big deal since the gesture is what matters most to me. is that the entire first and second series? Those are almost surely the most valuable of the Jakks prototypes of the produced figures.. since they were the very first of the line. As a matter of fact, some (likely not all, I'd have to double-check with him on that) of these are THE master sculpts, as in the real McCoy. I'll get confirmation on that before I go spouting anything off that isn't true for the whole lot. How much did you pay for them? If you factor in shipping costs (which were discounted) for all nine cast resin prototypes, I paid $43.04 each and I'm okay with that. I was willing to pay more on this rare occasion because an offer like this is pretty much once in a lifetime, especially for us BCA collectors. And you know I couldn't show my face around these parts without hauling something unique to the BCA line.

awesome story. I googled him and he worked on LOTS of stuff. Apparently he had the Mortal Kombat license and made some sick figures that go for a bunch on the bay.
I also found him on the bay pretty easily. There was an unreleased Kane "bloodlines" proto that looked sick.
Did u ever get in-depth with him about cancelled figures, unreleased figs/lines...or any other good nuggets?

WOW!!! that is awesome! Great addition to your collection. I'm not really one for prototypes, but I do understand the importance behind these, being that they are the first series and that its very rare to come across something like this from the BCA era.
