Wouldn't call that "one of a kind" nor "mint". The one in front is starting to lose his hearts as well, can be removed with nailpolish remover or a similar product. All figures have their arms up, so broken action feature.

Oh get a grip man, it’s clear it’s nit been rubbed off logic all three at same time zero markings, it’s hardly broken the figures movement is perfect etc, there’s no need to remove it as I didn’t pay over the odds or trying to move it for loads of cash, stop posting negative comments, just don’t say anything, you seem to always post negative tripe, lighten up, you miserable 😩 sod, are you a mod or a sod? I didn't say you removed it or overpaid, I said it's easy to remove; there's a figure in your picture that's starting to lose the hearts. I'll admit I was wrong about the action being broken. |

Yeah but the figure isn’t in played like state that’s what I’m saying, usually the vest spray paint is usually gone not the legs, it makes no sense to remove the hearts 💕 for no reason is all, if the seller made the error and wanted hundreds for it then yeah maybe but it was advertised as just a regular Bret, I’ve had another series 8 which was graded and it had the hearts all mushed with the paint had smudged 🤷♂️. All I’m using is logic mate that why would someone just scratch away the hearts 💕 and I’d expect there to be some sort of residue or staining from where they were and what ever was used to remove it. I say it’s legit and you don’t, let’s just agree to disagree. |

Yeah suppose but that one’s a little less nice 👍, there is fading there your right there but for that fading I feel it’s what the most you will get when played with, I mean I’ve seen some ugly brets chewed up and the hearts are there in some form, I just don’t think say they got to that fading you said that then someone would then go all out to rub it away 🤷♂️ |

That figure was such a huge part of my childhood and burned into my memory that it just seems so wrong with plain pink tights 🤣

I'm no Hasbro expert by any means, but surely the guy that posted realises you can remove the hearts very easily? It isn't a big "one of a kind" item, you can remove them with magic eraser and be done with it. The heart in the vest is exactly the same, why do you think you see so many beaters on eBay with half the heart or even the whole heart missing. The hearts on the legs are exactly the same. As pointed out, in his picture ones losing the hearts already. Surely, to his his word logic, indicates that it's very easily done and to be honest I hope the guy didn't overpay for it because if he did he got absolutely done.

He's had several accounts on Instagram which last a certain amount of time before he creates a new one - usually posting abuse aimed at other collectors, especially if anyone questions the legitimacy of the figures.
It was known for ages amongst collectors that he would buy beaten up Hasbro's on eBay UK for pennies then suggest they were "Funskool" or "variants" like the ones shown here. Isn't it amazing how many loose Funskool figures have been "discovered" in the last couple of years in the UK.

And that’s why no offense to anyone and what they believe are their discoveries but unless it’s still in a factory sealed package, your variants aren’t worth anything anymore because anybody can do the work and create their own. |

When it comes to Funskools you can easily feel if it is a true Funskool or just a played with figure. Also the paint applications are way cheaper. These are true variants even loose. But pink pants to purple pants Rick Rude, missing heard Hitman and others I agree are worth nothing if loose. Same with switched heads for Rockers or Headshrinkers. |

Like people who have owned, held hasbro prototypes etc are clearly best placed and likely correct in assessing if another potential proto is real or fake etc |
