I'm no expert on Hasbro by any means but the amount of 2 ups coming out of the woodwork now I'd say that there was probably one for most figures (I'm ready for someone to shoot me down on this) A 2up was supposedly made of every figure, but rumour has it was they were no longer required, they were just tossed in the bin. I suppose nobody could have known then, what we all know now about how sort after they are. It is a shame really as I love seeing all the new Hasbro stuff appear, but you always have to be careful now as too many people out there trying to make a quick buck and scam people.

Ask Lenny from lee's toy review about 2-ups
He knows a guy who had a number of 2-ups.
Lenny even said they guy had a Dusty Rhodes 2-up, and while taking pictures of it in the driveway, it fell and broke into pieces.
That collector was also know to collect rare earth minerals and was willing to trade hasbro stuff for rare minerals. But don't get your hopes up, we're taking about $1,000+ rocks here. Depending on size and mineral type, very expensive stuff.
And Lenny can tell you a great story about the Kamala with moon. Lenny told me had about a dozen kamalas with moon in his collection at one point, NO JOKE. And at one point he had HUNDREDS of undertaker and Bret mailaways, he gave them away at Halloween to the trick or treaters, he couldn't GIVE them away for years!

Lenny don't talk so directly to everyone!!! Few years back maybe but for now I believe he is to busy and business man for doing that. I tried to come in touch for other Hasbros I need but no reaction. If I bought via eBay figs promptly I got answers. Money seems to be the key! Few years back I bought many figs from him without that problems.he told me one time that he still have many figs in hangars and will look but never listed some other quality moc's as really easy to find standard moc's like bushwhackers. Seems you have to know him very well or private...

This was the first kamala he listed years ago, I think he was only asking like $3500 (good deal in hindsight) Then he sold a second, with the standards tag for like $5500.

decent sculpting skills, some fast cast moulding silicone rubber, quick resin and then some hydrospan and more liquid 2 part resin and you've got yourself a rare prototype 2 up. never used hydrospan myself but looks easy enough. I have made moulds for most hasbro heads for customs including the diesel knock off as it was costing alot to make them, now after making the moulds, casting from resin is very quick and cheap so means i can make more and charge less. anvil is a tricky one though as i have to resculpt the beard everytime as it gets stuck in the mould

Even though I'd probably never have the time to do that myself, I'd love to see someone do a YouTube tutorial on that one day. Just so interesting. decent sculpting skills, some fast cast moulding silicone rubber, quick resin and then some hydrospan and more liquid 2 part resin and you've got yourself a rare prototype 2 up. never used hydrospan myself but looks easy enough.

I would be very interested to see someone prove me wrong!

Ry_D bought one of his moon bellies (he has more than one) from the Lenny guy if I remember right ,

Mark huckabone was the one that Lenny Lee sold the Wwf hasbro 2ups to. He said while photographing them on the hood of his car the dusty Rhodes figure fell but only the arm broke which was able to be reattached. Huckabone ended up swapping the 2ups for some other Protos of other toy line. Mark huckabone is a douche unfortunately so don't expect any more info from him about anything. I managed to track down a guy who showed me several pictures of 2 ups including Owen Hart, Texas tornado, nasty boys, legion of doom, mr perfect, rick Steiner, doink and million dollor man #3. The prices he wanted for them tho are ridiculous. Let's just say you would get a pretty decent car for the money he wanted each. I still speak with him regularly he isn't a member here I'm hoping that one day I can work a deal with him. I did purchase some other incredibly rare vintage boxed toys from him several of which were only ever seen in magazines and not on toy shelves so I have branched out to other toy lines now rather than just concentrating on hasbros

Thanks for all this info guys. WWF Hasbro is easily my favorite wrestling line of figures. I'd love to see more 2 Ups and prototypes.
