I had purchased a funskool from the seller so asked him to shed light about this Dusty when it was listed. He said he had purchased it off ebay a while back and that he himself doesn't believe it to be a mailaway. D**k move if you ask me as its stated that its a mailaway and told me that its not. Whoever wins hope they get a happy meal with it. Weird, cos I never saw it on Ebay originally, well not in the past 9 years or more I've been on there. def a D*ck move. should just remove it out the bag and sell it as a loose Dusty.

The only reason I thought to ask him for more info on it was due to the fact he was selling near enough the whole series and the fact that I had no issues in the recent purchase off him . But yep takes the puss that he hasn’t Disclosed the fact that he doesn’t believe them to be mailaways himself to avoid some poor collector being shafted. He would still have gotten a decent amount for a loose dusty .

If not hope they send to get graded lol . Let's be honest, if the buyer actually pays up they can't be the brightest. The seller offered no story and when contacted said they knew it wasn't a "mail away".

I'll bet I've read at least two dozen threads about fake Hasbro mailaway on this forum over the past 14 years. They just never quit! For my money, unless it's the mailaway Hogan, Undertaker, and maybe Bret, I don't put value on a plastic bag. They're just loose figures in a baggie. I never tell anyone what to do, but that policy has saved me a lot of money over the years.

The Silver vision Hogan, JC Penney Macho Man & Hogan shouldnt be disregarded though, the latter 2 not Mailaways i know, but legitimate bagged figures

It's just that since they look identical to the carded releases anyone with a stock of plastic bags and some loose figures can make convincing enough forgeries to scam people in online sales/auctions. The bottom line is as always that people really need to do their research first, and most experienced collectors would agree that the only legit bagged and/or mailaway figures are the ones we've all known about for decades.

Loads of paint loss on the torso and polka dots, scuffs on the face, arms, hair, feet, eyebrows and legs, both arms are loose. Have emailed the seller but not heard back yet, if I don't hear back by this weekend I'll be taking it up with ebay as it's not immaculate as described. Not even close.

Not even close. and the Mcds bag?? you'll get sorted, huge part refund, as I'm sure he doesn't want it back and hassle of re-selling. ask for 50% back.

Not to be a dick but were you really expecting anything different? It's a re-sealed bag so it was never likely to be mint. The seller has purposely tried to deceive with that sketchy description and this just proves what we all thought. Imagine getting a beat up Hasbro in your Happy Meal box!

Yeah I probably should have known better but loose mint Dusty's don't come across often at all, and I figured if someone had stuck this in a bag for years and tried to pass it off as a mail away, at least he'd have avoided being skanky but no such luck.

Will raise hell with ebay tomorrow if I don't hear back by then. If he offers a partial refund I'd be thinking more like 75%, otherwise I might lose a couple quid reselling. It's way too skanky for my collection lol.
