I discovered recently that there was a La Parka prototype that was pulled and cancelled ... can anyone explain what happened to that?
My apologies if this is one of those "we're not allowed to discuss that" matters.
Also, Rest In peace to that fellow. Sad what happened. He was super talented.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it wasn't Mattel that had made it. It was Playmates, who was going to be putting out a AAA line.
I'm guessing the figure was intended to be La Parka II (the one that just died), as it was revealed at the 2010 Toy Fair, and L.A. Park (the La Parka from WCW) only returned to AAA early that year, probably around the same time.

Are you talking about the Playmates La Parka from that AAA line that never got released? This definitely had to be La Parka Jr. (the one who recently passed away). LA Park didn't return to AAA until March of 2010, and ToyFair is in February. Not that most of us would have cared. La Parka is La Parka as far as figure form is concerned.  But also, you're welcome: |

I really would love to see some of the WCW cruiserweights in the Mattel line like La Parka, Pyschosis, Juvy, Ultimo Dragon, Disco, Kidman, Alex Wright. It would be pretty sweet.

I'm hoping the Boss Fight Studios line gets to a some of those guys. Psicosis, Juvi, Vampiro and LA Park are my main hopes with them. Kidman has been an agent with WWE for years. It kills me we don't have a Mattel figure of him. I think we'll definitely end up with an Ultimo Dragon here shortly from someone. Seems like something Storm would definitely make. I'm not holding my breath on Disco or Alex Wright, but I'd absolutely love both. Hopefully Sugar Shane Helms became a possibility with Hurricane back in the mix and we should definitely get Madusa. I'd kill for a Chris Candido. |

That Dr. Wagner Jr looks great! That's too bad these never came out. |

I am honestly hoping Ultimo Dragon is next after Jushin Liger though. |

I've been wanting a Juvy since Jakks cancelled his RA18(I believe it was 18 and replaced by a white gear Rey Mysterio). Some good suggestions you have there (except Alex Wright lol). |

There's also a proto RA Manu who was replaced in a 2 pack. Etc. |

Kinda like why we can't talk about "overseas sellers" who sell/sold certain figures? I'm not up on their line-all I know is Vince was pissed that Owens had a figure from another company around when he got his first WWE figure, so excuse my ignorance friends. |
