I'm sure the cost would have been prohibitive considering the material and action features but it would have been amazing to have a full line of 8 inch hasbros to follow the LJN line.

The idea of a full set of 2UPs and playing with those instead of the actual released Hasbros, as a kid... blows my mind. In a what if type of thing..

I've always got to ask - why does everyone assume that Hasbro kept all of the 2ups? Hasbro would have made 2ups of almost every figure they've ever designed (including the GI Joe range) so keeping all of those plastic figures is not possible, many will have ended up in the bin if someone hadn't snuck one or two out to Hasbro, these are just props they used for the design process, so once the figures are released, many people in the company might see the 2up as an unnecessary lump of plastic, especially once the run was completed and the series sent to market I see it all the time in the TV industry - backstage footage/interviews etc with various people for programmes, and at some point, someone comes along and deletes a load of unused footage because it's no longer relevant. same with toy companies - once their lines have ended, many of their production items will have either been destroyed, or shoved in a box in a container somewhere until they decide it's landfill Not every figure had a 2 up unless was a totally new mould Itโs not just coincidence that the ones found are either the first 3 series or brand new moulds/actions. The loose heads are just that loose heads which are only designed and used on pre made moulds, example the Rude 2 Up, that would be used in 2 Up form for a quick look at how Flair and Kid would look.

Just asking, because you randomly popped up on the board just a couple months ago and seem to be taken at face value for everything you're saying. Seems odd for this forum.. lol.

Understandable, it is tough to take the word of new members here, until we get to know them. On the other hand, there are guys here for years that don't know squat.
