I dont think its Mattel..The stock couldve been a lost box just found 12 yrs later... it may seem impossible , however given that it was probaly a smaller box given those bca's are small. It prob got lost with other crap. If it was Mattel im certain it would be "Mr. Mcmahon"
Not Vincent K McMahon , hes not known as that in WWE universe. Also if Mattel hasnt even sniffed at this idea, its not Mattel.

I'm taking a chance that it might be the TRU McMahon.
Maybe Mattel had too many unsold figures and WWEShop took them off their hands. Just the other day TJ Maxx had the Retro Ghostbusters Venkman. I think that was a Matty/SDCC exclusive. It's not completely unusual for exclusives to show up at other outlets.

This is most likely what it is - the Jakks BCA version.  There's no way it can be that figure. Where would the stock have come from? Also doubt WWE could sell Jakks figures now for legal reasons. The possibility of them carrying this old Jakks figure is very odd, and I wonder too where the stock came from. Did they just stumble across some in the warehouse? I do have a possible theory if it is the Jakks figure. I remember them offering a deal with one of the ppv's that if you sent in your cable bill showing you ordered the show they would send you a Royal Rumble edition of Stone Cold and Vince McMahon action figures. It seems like over on the BCA board I remember hearing that some never received theirs. So I wonder if maybe they just discovered a case of these old Rumble promo figures and decided they would see if they could sell them and make some money off them. |

If it is the Jakks BCA version, are they even allowed to sell it with the old WWF logo on it?

Seeing they are in a contract with Mattel it would be a conflict of interest for the WWE to sell a Jakks figure.

JUST A HEADS UP!!!
For anyone that orders this, Yoko or anything from WWE.com and you get the pop up saying you can get a rebate for $10 by calling the 800 number...DONT DO IT!!! The sign you up for the rebate but the guy is like the Micro Machines guy and talks so fast he also tells you he's signing you up for something else that only costs a dollar but has an automatic recharge every month of like $50 a month. He tries to pull a slick one over you. I finally had to stop him and tell him I didnt want it but he tried to tell me "Its a good deal so we'll sign you up and let you try it out for free for 30 days" I finally had to stop and say NO!! I only want the rebate and nothing else. Dont let this guy scam you!! Especially you younger folks that use your parents card!!!
(Sorry for making this big and bold but didnt want anyone to get shafted on this)

Being the are in a contract with Mattel it would be a conflict of interest for the WWE to sell a Jakks figure. not unless Mattel signed off on it.. which could be part of the contract. WWE pays there bills , not vice versa Also the description sounds like "The Corporation" days... I highly doubt this is a Mattel Vince.. |

So I wonder if maybe they just discovered a case of these old Rumble promo figures and decided they would see if they could sell them and make some money off them. Back in November, Philip Weiss Auctions sold a pallet of Jakks figures, 600 pcs for $625. It came from the warehouse of Red's Toys (owner passed away, kids didn't want the business). It's funny because that Vince was one of the included waves. No way am I saying that's where it came from. I'm just pointing out how it's possible these things pop up. They had cases of vintage toys including WWF LJN and WWF Hasbro. A lot of it is on ebay. I was able to pick up a 1970's Evel Knieval rocket bike for less than half its usual value. |

This time he's screwing action figure collectors. |

I don't think it is the TRU mailaway.
I think it's one of 3 things
1. An new line where Vince is the first figure in the set
2. A Rumbler
3. A mistake where they cancel all orders.
I just know it's not a Jakks figure. Because at this point and time the grace period to see old Jakks stock would have passed. A d I'm sure there's be some legal issue about a conflict of interest from Mattel or Jakks

I hope it's not a Vince McMahon garden gnome.

There are too many factors that point to this being the Jakks BCA version - if there wasn't already a BCA "Ringside Series 1" Vince McMahon, I'd be curious. I'm 99.9% sure this is the Jakks one...
but I'd love to be wrong!Admit it...Everyone, including myself, would mark out if it was this figure! Heck, I'd buy one of those for $10. That's one of the few LJNs I've never gotten around to picking up. |

When was the last time any "Vince McMahon" merchandise was released as opposed to "Mr McMahon"?
