Hello Everyone I am just wondering if anyone had any information about this Hasbro Hulk Hogan series 1 figure. I bought it from an estate auction. Some people are telling me that it is a custom or that it is faded. I don't think that is the case because the auction I bought it from had all older items. It didn't look like someone who would have a custom figure. Also the figure does not seem faded to me either. I found a page on this forum with a hulk figure painted white like the figure that I have here forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/343533/juniordaddyos-wwf-hasbro-collection?page=2 . The poster is claiming that the figure is the first figure he ever owned. So if the white paint is the real paint, I am wondering if the white lettering could be real as well maybe a painting error? On the back of the figure the markings say 1990 Titan Sports Inc. , All Rights Reserved , U.S. Pat Pending , Made In China . Any help is appreciated. Also I have read that a lot of people are trying to pass custom figures off as real figures. I promise you that I am not doing that. I can show you the auction I bought it off if you need proof. Cheers Everyone, Lee

Faded is a wrong term, it's actually oxidation. Same condition that turns Boss Man, Piper, Rhodes and IRS (as well as old game consoles) yellow. The plastic used is sensitive to UV light. The figure in the topic you mention is the same, just not as bad as yours...

The hair and beard are also an indicator. They are very light in color. My first thought was maybe the figure was bleached in play (similar to the Joker origin lol).
