I just read somewhere there was a prototype found of a chest beating Hasbro Ultimate Warrior. Is this accurate? I never heard of this. Are there pics?

I found a pic on Yahoo images of some kind of monstrosity that I think Wikipedia was referring to. It has to be someones custom and not official. It has smash's torso and warrior #2 head. The arms look like modified Duggan arms, which makes it even worse......

If there's anything to be learned on these forums, it should be that if a prototype looks too good then it's probably a custom. If it looks like it was thrown together by a bad customizer, then it's more likely real! These were never meant for the public, so they weren't looking for production quality. The mind bending mental gymnastics you have to go through to sort real from fake when trying to purchase and/or verify these things online is one of the reasons I never even entertained the idea of getting into collecting prototypes, even when I was single and had no one to stop me from blowing a few grand on a toy.

The search system on this site absolutely sucks and 2. the mods here are like nazis about posting in old threads for some reason. So I avoid that BS and just make new threads

To the OP I just wanted to point out it's real: it's a mock-up.

Back to the thread locking, more people may have been able to ask or learn more about it if old threads weren't locked. I'll never understand why they get locked. I get it if the question gets a complete answer but just because its an old thread doesn't mean it will never be discussed again

So... If this thing was the real deal, how were they expecting to incorporate that Demolition torso onto a new Ultimate Warrior figure?
Very cool that it is legit, but that doesn't make it any less dog ugly. It looks like Warrior got the Sid treatment from Toy Story. ๐

It was just a torso used in this instance to show how the action would have worked. If these had gotten into a pre-production stage there would have been unique molds and decos.

Wonder if a sketch of this exists? I'm interested in knowing what attire/colours they were thinking of going for

Wonder if a sketch of this exists? Give it a week, someone in China will unearth one in their attic. Hasbro factory down the road etc etc.

Stupid question, but what is a mock up?
That pic shown looks like a total fake with random parts thrown together

The end product will look right or when the idea gets scrapped there is no end product at all. This mock-up is very real! Too bad the idea got scrapped.

Hmmmm very odd.
I get the concept, but it just looks terrible to me. I can't even really envision what they are shooting for with that, because all I see are Frankenstein wrestlers lol
