Welcome.
Yes there is a market, im sure you will get messages here if your looking to sell.
Firstly im sure we would all like to know the story behind the figures, as they are faked nowadays, so history being very important.
Tell us more buddy, who you got them from, where, and any names help as we know quite a few guys who worked on the line.....

Thanks for the responses so far. I really can't reveal the source. I can say that I am 100% sure that they are authentic…that's not in question. At least one of the heads appears to be a simple wax casts (i.e. Akeem), some are pure sculpts and some appear to be sculpted casts. Many of you guys might know this already…but sculptors would often do a rough, make a mold, then make a cast, then work it some more…maybe make another cast and then work it again…until they were happy with the final product. The white pieces are hardcopies. A couple of these may not even be wwf figures…(like the bald smiling dude with the beard? and the head that looks like x-men's sabretooth?)...they were just all in the box marked 'Hasbro wrestling'. The larger body I think is Hulk Hogan's…or I was also thinking the plan might have been to maybe make a somewhat generic body that they could use on several figures…that's maybe why there are a bunch of heads but only a couple bodies? Any input on that? Here are some better pics: goo.gl/photos/Uzz4Syfasq4kPctS9goo.gl/photos/TxBgPsaVzWf5w5cW7goo.gl/photos/fSEeKaJAmAh6mdg5Agoo.gl/photos/kFkG1TTK8uRDU7aYAgoo.gl/photos/hWJRFfsRLhNcsNfq8goo.gl/photos/jtfWUQtVJk5b3fvg8goo.gl/photos/XVBJ9hM8CDBgqoWw7goo.gl/photos/MdTp2VSUurWVrDQo6I mostly collect other figure lines…like SW & other 70's/80's stuff…and I'm hoping to maybe work these into a potential trade I have going…that's why I'm trying to get a rough estimate on value for them.
I also might consider selling them…just depends on how much they go for I guess…vs the trade.
Thanks again for any info!
-Will

That's ok, but you do understand you will not get as much $ and you will have trouble selling a few items that could have potentially been cast recently. What you have wrestling related is:
1 Hulk Hogan S1 body, minus left arm 2 up heads:
Hulk Hogan Million dollar man ted dibiase brutus the barber beefcake x2 (1 quite damaged) andre the giant x2 luke & butch (bushwhackers) plus 1 white resin cast head. Akeem
Artwork:
Shawn Michaels (Rockers) Marty Janetty (Rockers) Luke (bushwhackers) Butch (Bushwhackers)
hope that helps :-)

OK….Let me put it this way….
ASSUMING they're real…what kind of prices do you think these would draw?
BTW….the 1st Beefcake is an initial rough that's why the quality doesn't look so good.
Also…I'm curious…do you guys have any links to pics / info regarding the fakes you're referencing?
Thanks for the info!

Saying that there was a big difference between that and yours, his was a painted hardcopy version, great condition, with full history. I hope you sell to someone here, and realise you will get the best deal here, not ebay as you will be paying fees. |

Sorry buddy, this is all interesting and all, but: 1. You are a new member, for that I'd like to welcome you. 2. You're a new member trying to sell (oops, forbidden by the rules, buddy!) 3. You're a new member trying to sell prototypes without background information (makes my spidersenses start tingling!) Therefore: I'm locking this! |
