This is probably an obvious answer but why didn't Funk get an ECW OSFTM figure?
Also, is there any other figure of Funk in a similar style to the OSFTM to fit into a collection?

Pretty sure because when they made the figures he was already in WWE and when they came out he was in WCW. I remember Lance Storm debuted in WCW the day I bought his ECW figure and Chris Candido in the store.

 On a side note, which series is short 1 person in the lineup? Series 2? I believe whichever series it is, probably was supposed to have a single release Terry Funk, but.. obviously that's just speculation. |

The reason is because he left ECW in late 1997 and the ECW/OSFTM deal didn't happen until late 1998/early 1999. On a side note, which series is short 1 person in the lineup? Series 2? I believe whichever series it is, probably was supposed to have a single release Terry Funk, but.. obviously that's just speculation. The red shirt Dreamer figure went unreleased because OSFTM started having troubles and the rest of their planned ECW line got scrapped. The Dreamer/Raven 2-pack was shown, on card (meaning the final production samples were done) at Toy Fair 2000. Also there's no way they were going to be able to release a barbed wire ring for kids in 2000. We might have had a barbed wire bat accessory for the Jakks WWF figures and a barbed wire gimmick with the Hak WCW figure, but no way were stores going to take something like a full on barbed wire ring. I think Tommy's CTE is catching up with him. |

Roadkill does a bunch of conventions me and my buddy do up here and he said he, Doring, and Spike Dudley were all suppose to be in the next series with Sabu and Guido in black tights. He said he and Doring saw the prototypes back in the day. He said he has worked very hard to try and track them down but had no luck.

There used to be a picture of an unpainted Roadkill prototype floating around. Rumors were back in 2000-2001 that a Spike prototype picture existed but it never surfaced. Actually googled it and found the Roadkill picture.  |

He is very low key and barely even advertises himself as a former ECW wrestler. I hope he does get to find the prototype. It stinks when a company does a proto and doesn't produce the item and doesn't just wind up giving it to the wrestler. I'm sure they would enjoy having it. |

He is a super good guy, we set up next to him a few times, he always has a lot of good stories. |
