1988 Dominique Wilkins unreleased prototype. It's a one of kind polyurethane prototype pinned together at the joints. I don't know why but it seemed common for the star players to have two prototypes made. Kenner would decide which one to produce and toss the other one, and apparently the shooting pose was picked over the layup pose when it was released. Kenner also produced a series of commercials in 1988 for SLU's. And surprisingly the layup Wilkins was featured showing this same figure.

I have a question: Whatever happened to the 1991 Chris Jackson (denver nuggets) figure?
ReplyDeleteIt’s listed on the back of other 1991 figures. I’ve never seen it in real life. Great reads on your website! Thank you!
Kenner cancelled him along with Danny Ferry because they played for smaller market teams.
