I would say it's a custom. Production figures would be factory sprayed and prototypes hand painted. There wouldn't be a mismatch.
If this was a pre-production sample package it would be completely factory sprayed.

I got really excited, but knew it was too good to be true.
Although I must say, for a custom, that card is pretty legit because usually the "action" section on the bottom right corner doesn't look that good.

I also noticed on that card back that Scott Steiner and Brutus the Barber are flip flopped.

I had a feeling it would go this way I've had it for 20 years and have never messed with it but I understand the skepticism

I mean no offense to you, but I haven't even been on this board a year and this type of stuff seems to happen on the regular around here.

Only way to know if it's real or not IMO would be to send it to AFA.

The backing card looks matt finished and not the usual glossy. mrnewjapan13, do you have any other backing cards to compare it to?

Here my two cents: I own the original purple card proof sheet and I dont think the brutus megamaniac single card had ever see the light (here there is the back too which is nearly impossible)so I assume its a reproduction. On top of that I think The loose figure cant be half handpainted and half not!

I have to say, I'm with cdp on this one.
Looks part plastic (head)/part hand painted (body) with poorly painted tassels.
Good effort though.

Are you sure you're just a fan and not a collector? You seem to be awful touchy about its legitimacy for someone with no agenda. Also, the pic is down, I'd like to see it myself.

Nothing says "My figure isn't a custom" like deleting your picture once people doubt it.

Thanks for the person who PM'd me a photo
well it's custom, I have bought the same backing card before from someone on ebay
I bet 100% the reverse of the card is blank as mine was.
