The Tugboat 2up figure?
I've not seen or heard about it since the appearance on eBay.
;D

That's a good question Kev, it seems to have just disappeared! Anyone got any news on it and what it actually went for?

people mostly quit talking about it here because a few outspoken people who don't know what they're looking at have convinced themselves it's a fake and stand on their figurative soap boxes and scream it until they're blue in the face every time the subject comes up. The fact is, a piece like that simply could not be faked. It's a production piece that was not used. Considering the Jakks figures of Manu, Juventud Guerrera, and others that we seen prototypes of, it's far from illogical that a Tugboat could've been produced and due the the slowness of Hasbro, was simply not used. Why produce an outdated Tugboat, when correcting it to an updated Typhoon was as simple as using the freshly produced head on the existing Earthquake body?
Furthermore, why does this figure get lambasted as being a fake, and Stom's frankly strange looking Ultimate Warrior on a Demolition body with monkey arms doesn't? I believe that one is real as well, but it "looks" much more fake than the Tugboat 2Up

Does anyone care to shed abit more light on the situation? |

Last I see of it, it was on ebay for a 5 figure sum either someone bought it or the seller decided to hold on to it.

I actually only spoke to the seller the other day and he informs me that it was sold to an elite collector in North America. He didn't let me know the price as respects the buyer and will leave it to the buyer to inform people that he has it and how much he paid if the buyer chooses to!

I dont remember that comparison pic next to typhoon and boss man. That totally changes my opinion about the 2up. The original pic I saw looked reeeeally fake. I think im a believer now.

Man, that would be cool to have standing by the door even tho non wrestling fans would think you were into nautical stuff. Why is that fat sailor so mean looking?
