What was the Funksool line? Just rip-offs of Hasbros? What countries were they sold in? Funskool figures were official, licenced by Hasbro for India. G.I. Joe figures for India were also by Funskool. Funskool figures are on flimsy cards, the plastic used for the figures is of inferior quality and mostly they have a red hue compared to Hasbros, gold accessories look more bronze. Funskool figures came on blue or red cards. Known Funskool figures: Blue Card: DiBiase 1 (bronze $-belt) Hogan 1 Perfect 1 Piper Smash 1 Warrior 2 Red Card: Bigelow Luger Ramon 1 (bronze necklace) Undertaker 1 /w coat Yokozuna 1 Just realized that Funskool Razor looks so much better on a red card than Hasbro on yellow or blue. Kind of weird that they went cheap for the production, but created a new (red) card for Razor. Why not go cheap there too? |

Ruby what’s your views on Honky Tonk Man Funskool ? Haven't seen one yet (MOC or loose). There was that one that sold in Japan few years back and we got to see a glimpse of the corner of the card . I’ll post pics shortly of both |

   Item was purchased from a seller directly in India. I paid less than what it would cost to get a loose series 8 Bret. I paid via western union and took a chance on it so when it arrived i compared it with my series 8. You can see noticeable colour differences in the skin tone and paint. There is noticeable differences in the tight designs. Item has been sent to UKG to get authenticated, however due to never seeing one before they were reluctant to Grade. They have confirmed differences and paint app is different. The figure itself when held feels like a funskool and those who have funskools will know the feeling. |

I know what you mean with the typical feeling of a Funskool, but I can also understand that any serious grader wouldn’t want to authenticate it.
What doe it read on the back? Would you be willibg to share a few more comparison pics, also from side angels just to get an idea of what you mean with different paint scheme?

I’ve been able to secure a funskool mdm and a razor both with accessories. I’d love to get my hands on the whole line. I reached out to funskool india via email and facebook to verify the releases but they have not responded at all.

Unfortunately Funskool aren’t very responsive, many have tried to email and reach out to them via FB and Twitter to get a list of figs produced . hopefully Someone is able to get a response . Just realised hasbrolex we have spoken about this before lol . |
