I wonder if Kamala knows about this rare piece. He's always claiming he was underpaid during his runs but never mentions this figure. I would think he would be upset (though, maybe no reason to be) knowing the price the figure commands and he gets no cut. Granted, he's not entitled to a cut but for a guy who always mentions the disparity in pay between he and Undertaker, you'd think he'd mention it. I do hope he has a figure and just doesn't know or is saving it for his children or grandchildren to make money. I've always liked Kamala and wish he had stayed longer no matter the promotion. It has been rumoured, or said by someone, that he did actually have one and he sold it. I'm not sure of the validity of that though. Maybe the man himself could shed light on all that. I've also seen the youtube video's where he talks about being underpaid and screwed over image rights. There maybe something in that, but I'm thinking he must have done alright at the end of the day.

Yes favourite of the 2 Kamala's Easily the first one I got. 1) it's the first time I ever spent that kind of money on something that didn't have wheels, but 2) it was also the first time I got something so coveted that I'd always dreamed of having but never imagined I could ever have. The 2nd one, of course, has the Standards tag. That's special in it's own right, but you can never beat the first time... what a rush!

I met Kamala (Jim Harris) in 2008. I got the standard series 7 Kamala signed and I was talking to him for about 5 minutes and me being me asked him about the Kamala Moon figure. If I remember correctly he didn't mention why the limited number had a moon, but he did say to me he did have a moon figure Kamala in his collection. I could imagine undertaker had say what $200,000 for his appearance at summerslam 1992 and Kamala only $30,000. So yes he was screwed. I think both Kamala figures are brilliant Ry and both unique.

I forgot you'd said that Kev. Someone else also said that Lee's may have bought a Moon Belly from Harris some years back. That's what I was meaning when I said I'm not sure of the validity of the claim. They are super figures. Love having them. Waiting on the 2nd one getting a label correction and then returned to me. All I need now is a Kamala test shot - anybody? lol

Poor ol' Kamala, I can imagine, in the not too distant future, this Kamala Moon figure will be worth more than his appearance fee at the time, c'est la vie!
