In the interest of spotting fakes early on....

[familyguy84]

Was having a look through ebay and found this Bret. I would guess it is clearly a copy of Hasbromaniac's prototype mailaway Bret.

The guy is selling a number of customs so it might just be a mix up at his end but I have asked him to clarify the point.

[familyguy84]

To update he has emailed me back to say they have always been this way. I am quite sceptical though.

[hasbrocustomsdude]

so you bought this figure MOC and it was like this when you were a kid?

I highly doubt a figure you have had since you were a kid will be in such good condition

another fake... move along

[hasbrocustomsdude]

i just thought this was a normal bret 2, if id have thought it to be a prototype i would have gotten some info on it and sold it at a much higher price. however ive had this since moc, opened it, played with it, displayed it, now selling it. i cant see why there is such an uproar about it. iv looked at hasbromaniacs and his has white wrist tape which this does not

HASBRO CUSTOMS DUDE

^ Enough said really isnt it. Why dont you try in a few weeks time with a different name on this board.

2 out of 10 for effort

In my eyes you have done nothing wrong. Not listed as anything special, just a Bret Hart Hasbro, which is what it is.
Don't see the point in this thread..

[hasbrocustomsdude]

if i was trying to sell something completely rare and had faked it then i wouldnt have it up there with a load of customs. in the case of the bret, the andre, and the ljn figures i have for sale, they are just figures i have collected over the years and dont want anymore, simple as.

[Hasbromaniac]

Hi there hasbrocustomsdude, could you please post a pic of the back of the figure ? If not here, please email me the pic and I'll post here. Thanks!

Im with adam, not once did he say that it was a special prototype or anything like that !!! Im pretty sure if you ask for some pics he would email it to you..... at least I would think so !!!

We could well start loosing members if we all jump on anyone who e bays. the fake george steele and dusty testshot fair enough but , he never listed this as anything different, leave the guy alone.

[familyguy84]

If you read the original post I did note that this could be a mix up and that I had asked him to clarify the point.

Either way the matter needs resolving otherwise someone will get screwed over, whether it be the buyer who pays over the odds thinking it's a prototype and it turns out to be a custom or if it's real, the seller who gets offered £30 and settles outside of ebay thinking he's got a bargain.

Fair play to him if this is the true story and hopefully hasbromaniac can shed some more light on this with some further photographs.

hi i cant see anythink wrong with this guys figure its not listed as a protoype or anyhtink like that and price is not over the top think u should leave him alone.

Am I missing something? What's different about this Bret?

All of my figures I had as a kid have no scuffs or paint damage. I was concerned with condition even back then, and didn't bash them together.

Black Elbow pads is the difference not pink like the others.

[familyguy84]

hasbrocustomsdude can you let us know what your plans are for this item.

Will you still be selling or relisting as a prototype?

Will you be providing more photos, especially a close up of the elbow pads?

[hasbrocustomsdude]

Hi, when I get home I can take more pictures and just add them to the listing. I noticed that your the high bidder
