Beulah McGillicutty or Francine would've been nice, but alas...
For WCW Nitro Girls dolls were planned, I believe some proto popped up on ebay. I think Kimberly Page.

So, are these comming now or are they already canceled? I think they're pushed back; no news of them in the Super7 e-mails... then again; it's still winter.

As far as production figures go there are 2 "holy grails": Kamala with moon and red carded Bret with black elbow pads. Rhythm 'n' Blues Greg and green trunks Savage are prototypes, so they go in the same category as Mega Maniacs Beefcake or (should they ever pop up) HBK with punch, Dogfaced Gremlin with different boots and detailed singlet, Gonzales without moustache (like he should've been), Doink with different gear, ... Kamala was never released for retail either. No, but it's a production figure in the sense of; it exists carded and there's supposed to be around 24 of them.

Might as while bring up Rick Steiner as well. The proto has more detail and color on the singlet as well as his trademark mismatched boots.

Never noticed that about the Giant Gonzales figure, though, he should have still come with a mustache only a lot smaller and lighter. Giant Gonzales had a small mustache: OK, he had a thin moustache. The proto without moustache still looks closer to the real Giant Gonzales.

Ok then I’ll try and make it a little easier. Right Kamala is up at $12,000 If I had $12,000 spare I would opt for a Greg V R&B prototype or a Macho Man green trunk should they be available. I’m not knocking Kamala and it’s greatness it fetches but I do believe that is no longer the Holy Grail.

I used a error as a example. What I’m saying is if there is 1 of that figure type compared to 24 Kamala surely the 1 would be more desirable I have A slaughter with no name. There is more than 1. Ofcourse there's more than one. It probably was one batch that got printed wrong. I'm not saying a MOC Moon Kamala is worth $12,000 but it's most definitely worth more than no name Slaughter. I'd say in value it's just below red carded Hitman with BLACK elbowpads.

Being honest I can;t see why Kamala always gets a top notch price. I know he's rare. But if thats the case then surely a SGT Slaughter No name would be worth as much. Considering what you see a Prototype sell for. Why would an error card be worth that much? A freakin' error should be worth less than a normal one...

OK that one doesn't seem to have glue marks. Too bad it's just one picture...

If it's the one that's been on ebay like forever: it's a fake. It has obvious glue marks on the packaging...

Not weird stores, but in 1995 or 1996 I bought my first Hasbros in my local toystore. I know I bought them before I had internet in 1997. I also know the first one I bought was Jake "the Snake" Roberts. The price back then was either 275 or 299 Belgian Francs ($8.18/€6.82) or $8.89/€7.41), I can safely say I never bought a mint carded Hasbro WWF figure cheaper after 1996...

Depends if you want loose or carded, but yeah: collecting ain't cheap.
Loose I'd suggest: buy figure lots. Sure, you'll end up with a gazillion Roberts', Valentines, Neidharts and Bushwackers (from the tag series) but it's the cheapest way to get Rhodes or purple trunks Warrior. Just resell your duplicates to fund guys like black/silver HBK, Koko with Frankie, any Razor with chains, ...

You can't buy those seperately, only when you let them grade your figure.

Seeing how much LJN bendies are always available on UK ebay, I figured these were sold massively in the UK. I don't think I ever saw the ring on UK ebay...

For Tatanka, I just heard about it a year or so ago from someone on ebay. I have two card series 6 tatanka's one showing teeth/smiling and one not smiling, so it cannot be paint loss. Also, on the one not smiling, his top and bottom lip touch in the middle, the one showing teeth the lips don't touch and you can clearly see the teeth. I've also looked at other series 6 tatanka's on ebay and images on goolge and yahoo and some show smiling and some show not smiling. The one's for series nine all seem to be showing teeth/smiling, so I think it was an early printing/design error which was later fixed. I was hoping one or two of the collectors on this forum who know more than me would comment to explain why this happened. I remember hearing that there were 2 Dusty Rhodes heads, the first one looked angry so they changed it. I wonder if something like that happened with the Tatanka figures. Before you mentioned this I never knew or noticed this but a quick ebay search resulted in both variants existing on blue as well as purple cards.

Well, the opening credits say there will be 8 episodes. I could watch the first 4: ep. 01 Star Wars ep. 02 Barbie ep. 03 He-Man/Masters of the Universe ep. 04 GI Joe (big ones & 3 3/4", Ron Rudat also being interviewed) According to IMDB the last 4 will be: ep. 05 Lego ep. 06 Hello Kitty ep. 07 Transformers ep. 08 Star Trek Great show actually. Wow...that went downhill fast! LEGO, Star Trek and Hello Kitty seem extremely lame for this awesome series. The first four are so easily iconic. Transformers are a must, but these others are shockers to me. Yes there is an extreme abundance of Star Trek figures but are they really as iconic as Star Wars? Lego and Hello Kitty are the real wtf episodes. They got spots over TMNT and Ghostbusters? I don’t know how they would go about a wrestling figure episodes seeing as how LJN, Hasbro, Jakks and Mattel are equally as epic. And that’s just the WWE side of the wrestling toy spectrum! Lego might not be a big deal in the U.S., but it certainly is huge in Europe: personally I know 6 adult collectors and there's even a Lego collector's club about 15KM (9.3 Miles) from where I live. I never got into Lego, but I can't deny it's huge: maybe even bigger than Star Wars over here. Here in Belgium Hello Kitty is quite popular with adults. I know at least 4 women aged 25-30 that are into Hello Kitty... I don't know any Transformers collectors here, but I know a Texan who lived here 5 years (we have an American Airbase nearby) and he was always enthousiastic to find G1 Transformers MIB fairly cheap on Belgian Ebay (as opposed to U.S. Ebay). Star Trek, one of the longest running toy lines I guess... I know the 8" Mego line is still highly collectible over here. The Playmates series sold fairly well in our toy stores.
