This is a weird poll question but a fun one: Of all the items that are either speculated to exist or have existed in the form of a prototype, what would be your ultimate find and purchase? I've expanded this to include concept drawings and lists of potential wrestlers. The answer choices are a little limited and are pretty general, so I was hoping you would expand upon your answers in the text here.
Mine would be to find concept art of guys that weren't released but discussed, followed closely by pictures of the unreleased LJN series, followed lastly by lists of characters who were considered for each series, specifically LJNs.

I agree. I would've loved to have had the LJN unreleased figures. Especially Smash of Demolition. However, being a guy that makes customs, having unreleased figures has made me some decent money over the years on my custom sales.

Hasbros are my favorite line of wrestling figures, but I just had to vote "other" for WCW Galoob.
That was just a line that left you wanting more. Every one of the figure sculpts were far ahead of their time compared to other action figure lines of the early '90s. Not only that, but if the UK series and the existing unreleased prototypes were any indication, the line was progressively getting better.
If the Galoob line had gone on just another year or two, we could have gotten Ricky Steamboat, Vader, Cactus Jack, and tons of amazing figures. I don't doubt that it could have rivaled - or even surpassed - the WWF line.
But unfortunately, as we all know, the WCW Galoob line never got a chance to live up to its incredible potential.

i have to go with Jakks here because i really wanted that RA Juventud Guerrera. the Manu fig that we were supposed to get looked good too.
internationally, i have to go with SD's 2nd series of 100% Lucha figs. they were listed for pre-order on all the Argentinian toy sites and their own website and then nothing was mentioned again and all sites have removed the pre-orders and a new company has the license for 100% Lucha and makes awesome larger figures. but still, i'd love to know who was even planned, as it wasnt announced, just that another series was coming.

If I think about i again, I also would like to have some of the unreleased LJN's. I always wanted to start a LJN collection, but the prices are a bit too high for me.

I've gone for designs of unreleased/rumoured figures. the sketches of released Hasbros in Hasbromaniacs original post (recreated by STOM) are brilliant and to have designs like that for unreleased figures would be fantastic to own  |

Does anyone have the sketches saved for Tugboat and Jim Neidhart? I forgot about those. I was psyched for that Sgt. Slaughter and Rockers era Shawn Michaels. |

Unmatched Fury. it was a good line of unarticulated figures made by Jakks. Man, UMF series was amazing!! All the old superstars and some new, you cant pass up the legends we all love... shawn, flair, razor, hogan, bret, mr p, davey boy, rude, iron sheik, jyd, jake roberts, roddy, dibiase, warrior, taker etc. one of my favourite series ever! Ive got em all including glow in the dark 1 of 100 undertaker   Oh WOW  I love that 'Taker Ichiban, i had a good look at these before because i've never really looked at them before, they are really cool, the Hogan from series 1 is brilliant |

i had to go for 'list of all considered figures for lines' and the desired one would be for hasbro, just because i would love to see some rumours be proved true. alot of us have already seen sketches for the likes of jim the anvil and tugboat etc, but would loved to have known whether the rumours of colonel mustafa, general adnan, volkoff, haku and of course series 12, were true

The only thing off the top of my head that I would like to own one day but will probably never be able to afford is the 1/25 Jakks Flair and the Galoob Robed Flair prototype
