2pac (Tupac Shakur) We are based in South London near Croydon and if preferred this item can be picked up by appointment. Just e-mail here. DESCRIPTION: The 2Pac Series One figure was released in 2001 by the company All Entertainment, and a small number of figures were shipped to record stores across the U.S. However, around a week later all the unsold figures were removed from the shelves and recalled by the manufacturer. There are two conflicting theories as to why the figures were recalled. Many believe that they were considered too controversial for sale, as the figure had a tattoo featuring a racial slur on its chest. The other theory is that the licensing for the figures was never approved, and they were manufactured without permission. Shakur’s mother took legal action and filed a lawsuit to have the toys quickly blocked from sale. Due to its rarity, the 2Pac action figure is highly sought after by collectors. Here in the UK, they did hit the High Street but disappeared from shleves years ago. CONDITION: Though the figure has never come out of the packaging, the packaging does have wear and has the residue of the price sticker on the front (see scans below). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
