Does anyone have a picture of the vince mcmahon figure LJN made him, that is displayed at Titan Towers.
It is the same figure but with a different color suit

Don’t have the image.
But do you think Vince has a wrestling vault?
I can picture it being the size of a museum, with unusual merchandise prototypes, drawings and a extremely rare Kamala with 2 moons Mint on pink card.

Never heard of Vince having a different LJN figure. Are you sure you're not thinking of Freddie Blassie? He had a different suited version of his figure, but I think it was just a custom.  |

From what I've read, it was shown in a photo from a Cigar Aficionado magazine interview. I believe it was blue? Never saw it.

I remember watching old wrestling dvds and there is a huge warehouse Vince has with all old wrestling merchandise and arena stuff, rings and everything else you could imagine.

Like the other poster said, Vince had an entire warehouse of stuff. How many figures I don’t know. I know it was all kind of old merchandise, stages, props,rings, ropes,ring aprons,PPV signs, all the caskets used, and who knows what else. I think edge and Christian did an episode of their show from there. There was also a YouTube series that briefly ran about it |

I as well as anyone here would have loved to have even second-tier access to that in order to try to discover things. MANY years ago, long before we were together, my wife saw Vince in her local gym. First thing I thought to myself when she told me that story, was how I would have fanageled my way to working in w/him and asking about toys  . |

Vince probably has no idea about the toys. Maybe if it’s of him or his likeness but I’m sure there’s some kind of merchandise team or department who handles all that kind of stuff |

Well someone has to dream. |

Either "What? 30 year old toys? How the %*(#$ would I know!?" or "Yes! Here, check this out (pulls out phone)! It's the prototypes of the last LJN series! Remember those!? Did you know they spelled my name wrong on my figure?" |

Someone should tweet Triple H or Steph; they're pretty active enough to likely see it and reply. That'd be pretty funny, after all these years, if that was what brought it to light - lol

When I was organizing some old files on my computer, I came across the image of Vince's figure. I saved the image, but I don't remember anything about it haha. To me, it just looks like a re-painted version of his released figure. Still pretty cool though.  |

Awesome! It does look like a repaint, but I expected that.

It’s so cool to see stuff like this. Even though the collector in me cringes because ooak figures are such a tease. However, it’s also nice to see them in good hands. Vince would never sell his and I doubt Blassie got rid of his. Nice the ooak things are pawned or hawked like some “original” divas tend to do with nice things....

Looks like LJN gave it to vince to commemorate the success of the LJN line. Tough to make out exactly what it says though.
I remember seeing a Red Jewled freddie blassie figure on display with the same style coat at fan axcess 2002. I probably took a picture of it, but if I did, i havent seen those pics in years.
