They need to release this as well as every other Crockett wrestler they have signed.
The NWA in the 80's smoked the WWF in every way and really should have won the war if they didn't spend their money foolishly. Wrestling would have been 1000 times better now believe me.

I want to avoid getting in trouble for posting pictures from a live auction, however, there's one on Ebay currently. It's a custom. To be specific, the head has been casted from the prototype. Although I'm not the maker of the custom (his looks amazing), a popular member on here loaned the head to me over a year ago, and I have the molds to the head (as I'm sure the Ebay seller has it also). I suspect (like the Giant), it will be released at some point. Hi. I'm the owner of the Magnum Ta Custom for sale on "that" site. The head is a cast from the original prototype (which I owned and sold to a member here on wrestlingfigs and that owner had a mold made of the head and started selling copies of it. But I am the original owner of the original prototype (which I still have pics of).. I also have another body prototype of Magnum (minus the head).. For anyone else interested.. The figure is fully customized and only the head is a original part from the original prototype (I will remold the boots and use them at some point)... Thank you to everyone who likes it.. IMO, I don't think the figure will ever be released unfortunately but time will tell....

Magnum was a legend and well on his way to being a main event legend before his in ring career was cut short. i was listening to a interview he gave and he said andre the giant gave him the name magnum because in andre's opinion he kind of looked like magnum pi. Magnum is on the wishlist of many old schoolers i know and have talked with.
i know thanks to the help of a great friend i will be able to add a solid custom of him to my roster sometime in the future.
Just spotted this vid of him and he looks like hes in a good place in his life and still very humble about the impact he did make when he was wrestling.

I had the honor of meeting him last year and he was very humble and happy in life. Was a real treat to meet The Boss.

Oh it's this thread... again. I can't help but wonder if we never would have seen that Legends 7 image if people would even care this much. Maybe Mattel will find a way to get it out this year. It was pretty far along and if it's a short packed figure like Yokozuna then that seems like minimal risk. You're a loud bunch, but I just don't think the demand is very high from the majority, at all.

The majority have no clue what actual wrestling is and are to lazy to look up pro wrestling history so that is not surprising. Not a backhand to anyone but just stating truth. I think if more actually understood the history of Pro Wrestling and those in it and who came before we would not have such a garbage product catering to the causal fan who really could care less what they are watching.

Yes. Too many people are WWE fans and not enough WRESTLING fans.

So I am thinking the other two are either LOD in red or Magnum and either barefoot Snuka or jeans shorts Austin I think it's gonna be either red LOD,or barefoot Snuka and camo Sarge. I'm an 80s guy and there's no way I'd buy a Magnum

I would purchase it in a heartbeat. I really think there is a market for 1 of 500 limited edition Legends to be sold at an exclusive dealer. Do a trial run of five figures of talent who have contracts that are expiring soon, set the price point at $50-75, and see what happens. Just because the Legends line flopped the first go around doesn't mean it was a bad idea, just bad execution.

Ask fans of the DC and MOTU Classics lines about that. Matty loves to point the finger at the customers when lines don't perform as well as they'd like, instead of thinking about the mistakes they made that led to a "poor" sell through.

Maybe pack the remaining Stone Cold and Magnum TAs at .5 case? Kinda like E16.

But was there ever any Windham protos made? This would be a way of getting rid of over stocks of 2 figures that would otherwise never be released (possibly, like DDP and Andre).

I want Magnum TA especially since he's an expiring contract he should sell fairly well. in my area all the flashbacks are the first to disappear from the sets.

No Windham proto that I've heard about, but selling Austin at .5/case would really anger most collectors, IMO. They've got the parts available for most of a Barry figure already (just need a new head and boots), so it wouldn't be too expensive to produce him, I would think.
