With all this prototype love currently happening I thought it's finally time to unveil probably the rarest JAKKS figure of all time. Firstly this figure was obtained by completely legitimate sources and was actually a gift to me. So here is it - black business suited Linda McMahon!!! We all know the planned version that was on TTL card backs and a few samples of that have surfaced BUT this is a never before seen black suited version which is representative of one of her WWE promo photos. The figure itself is made of a resin type material and is in reasonable condition for what it is - obviously with it being a prototype the paint isn't perfect. I've owned this figure for a LONG time now and thought it's probably worth a share. Hope you all enjoy finally seeing what is probably the rarest and until now unknown Jakks figure out there.  |

Now that is definitely rare and very cool, even though the figure would probably rot on the shelves if released as a single. Two pack and it may have sold well ?

Great figure, I see why it was cancelled  what kids would have wanted that one of the best unreleased I have seen, next to Blue Bam Bam CS and Mr T (WM 1) |

Pretty cool, always interesting to see these prototypes although like others said outside of a multi pack situation I don't see many people looking to buy Linda McMahon. Thanks for sharing

I'll have to disagree with everyone above. I'd have sold my soul for that as a kid! Heck id gladly give whatever spare body parts I have for it now! I love Linda McMahon and the collector in me just doesn't feel complete without her in with the McMahon figures. I can say with complete honesty I got rid of my Vince and Shane because there is no Linda. I'll never buy them either unless, for some miracle of God, Mattel makes her.

I am literally working on a video that talks about Linda's figures, so this is TREMENDOUSLY good timing. Wow, what an item to have after all these years! Thank you for sharing it.
Was this the All Cool Gifts one that got scraped? I know for a fact it's not the CS one.

Was this the All Cool Gifts one that got scraped? I know for a fact it's not the CS one. Wow what great timing! What the figure was for in these colours I'm unsure and I never knew there was a planned ACG version so could very well be that. It's certainly not the CS one as it is the exact same mould as the one on the TTL cardbacks. In person it's a beautiful figure as it has been hand painted. Also worth noting that despite this coming out as a TTL era figure it is FAR superior to any of the TTL figures. It's a completely Linda specific mould and far better than anything they actually produced TTL wise. As a figure it still holds up design wise and looks like it could just fit into any modern line. |

Isn't it the long rumoured McMahon 4 pack version?

 The Jacket is just very, very worn as you can still see grey patches but congrats. Why not cast the head and sell for $20 each? I'm sure you'd have a few customers and you'd only need 50 to bring in $1000. I own a 1/1 Gangrel unreleased head sculpt. |

When I saw that on the back of the TTL card as a kid I near went crazy. |

Id say if you and a reputable head caster got in touch with each other, the two of you could make some decent money.

I had 10 copies made which I have at the moment. How much I'd be willing to sell 7 of them. The heads were cast by a professional (designclinic.co.uk) and are flawless but require dremeling for the ball joint. To cover my costs I'd need to sell them at around $30 plus shipping and would need 7 interested. Here's a comparison against the released head:   |
