Was looking around a toy shop we have in the UK today and they had the whole of series 2 on sale (basically about $3 each). Decided to buy them as been thinking of starting to collect the Retros. Anyway I get home and notice the Triple H looks funny and that he has a black glove where there shouldn't be one. Quick search on eBay shows it sells for about £80 ($100-ish) in the UK as this is a mistake. Only thing is the fig looks marked but I 100% bought this retail which I think is weird. Anyone else had this fig and is this genuine? Pics below:    |

Not sure about this factory error but I do own one still sealed as well. Bought mine from a US seller back in November. Guess Mattel ran out of HHH left arms that day and decided to use Sting's instead ? lol !

Wouldn't be concerned about the paint marks, legit error piece. I have had a lot of packaged Retros that have minor issues like that or worse.

Looks like they used a Sting arm.

That's an odd error. You'd think QC would notice that mistake. At least he's ready for the spin the wheel, make the deal match with Sting and Jake the snake Roberts.

Shame they didn’t mix-up the Sting arms with the Goldberg figure  |

Can I ask what shop it was? The cheapest I've seen them is at The Entertainer (I think it was £4 each...).

Pretty sure this was the last one they had but was going to check today again. Spent a fortune recently on figs so could be do with making some money back lol. But they very strangely don't open on a Sunday. I'll keep hold of this one for my collection unless price becomes very stupid |

Very odd that this was the only Retro figure seen like that and only on the left arms.

Just been back to the toy shop I purchased this and they still had a few triple H figs out for sale but they were all normal ones. Ah well hopefully this points to my one being very rare

That's the infamous Booker H figure. He would later go on to become STANG! in WWE.

Out of curiosity I just looked in my local Entertainer, not expecting to see one; but lo and behold there it was - a coal miners glove HHH.
I don’t know whether to buy it or not; there’s obviously a few of them about so are they really going to be worth any more?
I’m more of a loose collector of these, so they go with my near complete hasbro collection.

If you need it loose then grab, if your buying it to try and filp for a profit then you’ll be wasting your time. It still only worth what the price tag says |
