I am still unsure which is why I was asking about requesting a pic of the knee bent, because yes arguments can be made its a custom because of the boots and reuse of the Hulkamania T shirt but prototypes often are more detailed then the finished product and accessories were often reused also.

T looks authentic as hell to me. BTW, has anyone seen the scotty Steiner (steiner brothers proto) that keeps poping up on ebay? real?

The detail in the boots should be a dead give away that Jakks didnt do it. Seriously, Adidas stripes AND different color laces. Jakks would have just made them solid gold. I think it's hilarious that we can show something is fake because Jakks wouldn't have put that much detail into a figure. |

I don't know man, Jakks could sometimes pull a rabbit outta their hat on occation, for example, in my opinion the two pack michaels vs austin classic superstars is prolly the best and most accurate hbk out there to date, and the summerslam internet exclusive two pack hardy boyz of Jeff Hardy is dead on. |

Both exclusives. I'd hope they'd put better effort into exclusives. |

Ok this is a custom - easy way to tell is that's a head from the Jakks Rocky line - and since Jakks never reused the Thinderlips head on a WWE Hogan figure something tells me they wernt allowed to per their contract with WWE (they did years later with TNA). Plus Jeremy announced signings of all CS people they had acquired and T. was never mentioned! Very easy custom to make especially with the Hulkamania shirt already produced. When Jakks announced the Rocky line (which also included Mike Tyson) Jeremy shot down the rumor/hope that there would be a WM14 Mike Tyson saying that "the Rocky line was specifically for the Rocky line and didnt cross over into the WWE Line). Not only that, looking at the boots of that Mr. T, they clearly use the Rocky boxer boots which by then, the Classic 3 Packs were suffering so bad that the last series I dont believe even made it to retail. I think you guys have cracked the case, particularly with your observation that this figure includes parts that didn't exist until the cs three packs were in their dying days. That's pretty solid evidence if this being a custom. |

Thy definitely did put there all in exclusives, some of the retail classic line figures of them like hbk, bret & undertakers figures were no where near as good as their exclusive counterparts. |

Probably a custom. Just can't see jacks doing that knee pad detail. I know they have in the past but lest we forget Chinese New Year.
