Check your basements and storage bins — you might own a wrassler that’s worth a small fortune.

The Most Valuable Wrestling Toys and Figures

Wrestling isn’t nearly as popular as it was in the 1980s and 1990s. Back then, the top wrestlers were world-famous household names who moved millions of dollars worth of clothes, accessories and toys.

But as wrestling’s popularity waned, our nostalgia for back-in-the-day wrasslin’ increased. And so, too, did the prices of wrestling toys from decades ago.

These are some of the most expensive wrestling toys in the world. Not all of them are from the ‘80s and ‘90s (although most of them are), yet all of them will set you back several hundreds of dollars, while the rarest easily go for $5,000 or more.

Except for that incredibly strange Hulk Hogan doll that we had to include at the end. He’s relatively cheap.

Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake with Zebra Tights

Price: $350

This 1991 Hasbro variant of Hulk Hogan’s buddy can sell forabout $350. But only the one with the zebra stripes. A mint on card (MOC) Beefcake with pink tights sell for less than $40.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan LJN Black Card

Price: $500

This Jim Duggan, armed with his signature 2x4, is a popular toy from the 1989 LJN line. A current listing on eBay isalready at $500 after 24 bids (which started at $1). A loose figure with the 2x4 can sell for around $200.

Sargent Slaughter LJN Mail-Away

Price: $400-1,500

Hulk Hogan 1993 Hasbro Mail-Away

Price: $500-$800

If you mailed away for this Hasbro Hulkster 26 years ago, you’d only need another $4,400 to buy some authenticring-worn Hulk Hogan wrestling trunks. Sealed versions of this toy recently sold for$650 and$800 on eBay, while unsealed figures fetch about $500.

Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake LJN

Price: $660

This all-rubber figure recently sold for $660 at twodifferent auctions and two different bidding wars.

WWF King of the Ring Wrestling Ring

Price: $700

Hulk Hogan LJN Black Card

Price: $850-$1,300

Dusty Rhodes WWF Hasbro

Price:$900-$1,700

If you’ve fallen on hard times, you can’t afford this Dusty Rhodes action figure from the early 1990s.

An opened figure still with its box and shellrecently sold for $900.

Hart Foundation Wrestling Superstars Tag Team

Price: $1,000-$2,000+

An ultra-rare two-figure set of the Hart Foundation rarely comes on the market, especially not new in box. Loose figures can be had for $100-$200 for both, while boxed sets have sold for $1,000-$2,000 in the past. It’s likely that they will sell for quite a bit more in the future.

LJN Black Card Big Boss Man

Price: $1,200

Original Big Boss Man figures are pretty dang collectible, and this LJN black card version is the rarest one ever sold on the market. A loose one in OK condition can sell for over $200, while an MOC onesold for $1,200 on eBay in September.

Ultimate Warrior LJN Black Card

Price: $1,400

This 1989 figure is the first Ultimate Warrior figure ever made, which significantly increases the value. A mint version still in its packagingsold for $1,400 on eBay in early 2019. Ten years ago, forum members at WresleFigs.comsaid $750 was too much for this guy!

WWF Hasbro Mail-Away Undertaker

Price: $1,400

One of the rarest mail-away WWF Hasbro figures is this little 1993 Undertaker action figure with cloth duster. The last ones seen on the market that soldwent for $1,450 and$1,400, and they weren’t even in the original packaging (granted, the original packaging is just a little plastic bag).

2006 Jakks Pacific Hulk Hogan Toyfare Exclusive

Price: $1,550+

There were 100 of these Hulk Hogan figures made, and they can command a big price tag. Some reports say that they have sold for up to $5,000 — and they can sometimes be found on eBay at that asking price — but one went for $1,550 in October 2019.

Miss Elizabeth LJN Purple Skirt

Price: $1,800

If you have the LJN purple skirt variant of wrestling manager and Macho Man’s wife, you could trade it in for an actual designer skirt. Miss Elizabeth released with a gold and purple skirt, but the purple is rarer than gold, and they rarely go on the market. In 2014, the people ofWrestlefigs said that one still in its pristine packaging sold for $1,800 on eBay.

Corporal Kirchner LJN

Price: $2,180

Corporal Kirchner had a relatively brief run in the WWF in the 1980s and is basically unknown today, but his popularity in action figure form endures. When one appeared on the market in late September 2019, it sparked a bidding war. The price skyrocketed from the original asking of $72 to anastounding $2,180 over the course of two weeks. Weirdly, loose figures of him go for around $15.

WWE Jakks Limited Edition Marble Ultimate Warrior

Price: $2,200

There were only 20 of these figures made and each one came signed and with a certificate of authentication. They’re extremely rare, and a new one in box sold for $2,200on eBay in November 2019.

Steiner Brothers Tag Team Wrestling Set (UK Release)

Price:$2,225

Ultimate Warrior USA

Price: $2,500-$9,500

In the 2010s, Ultimate Warrior stopped ranting about the liberals (andmany others) for a moment and made a few action figures. The rarest was the Ultimate Warrior USA edition. Only five were made and they were all sold on Warrior’s personal website. Apparently, only one is known to exist still in its box andit’s on eBay for $10,000. A loose figure is also up for grabsat $2,500 (plus $100 shipping).

Bret Hart LJN Blue Card

Price: $4,500

A loose Bret “The Hitman” Hart from the LJN series can easily fetch over $100. But if you can find one in mint condition in its original packaging, the value skyrockets. The highest-priced one we could find sold for a heart-attack-inducing $4,500 inNovember 2019.

Macho Man LJN Black Card

Price:$5,000+

The Macho Man LJN Black Card is one of the rarest WWF grails around and hardly ever goes up for auction. It’s so rare that finding a recently sold one is impossible.A forum thread on WrestlingFigs.com has a few users talking about the mythical black card Macho Man, with one person saying they keep $5,000 in their bank account at all times in case an MOC one ever surfaces.

Big Boss Man Hasbro 2-Up

Price: $5,500

2-Up figures are prototype models that are twice the size of the regular toys, allowing toy designers to add more detail before they’re shrunk down. One of the most expensive is the Big Boss Man’s 2-Up, which WWE wrestler and toy nerd Zack Ryderbought for $5,500 in September 2019. It included a certificate of authenticity and was signed by the creator, although it’s missing Big Boss Man’s signature nightstick.

Moon Belly Kamala

Price: $10,000 - $20,000

Considered to be the holy grail of all wrestling figures is the 1993 Hasbro Kamala with a yellow moon on his belly. For whatever reason, only 24 of these figures were made before the toymakers switched out the yellow moon for a yellow star, even though the real Kamala sported the yellow moon.

The lowest price this figure has sold for issaid to be $3,000, but it’s typically more in the $10,000 range. There’s currently one oneBay for $20,000 — nearly the price of four18-foot wrestling rings.

Ultimate Warrior WWE Defining Moments Unreleased Granite

Price: $20,000

Fifteen of these figures were made, but they were cancelled before they were officially released. However, they made their way to the secondary market, where a loose granite Warrior goes for about $2,000. Allegedly, only one ever made it into boxed form andit’s on eBay for $20,000. The seller says he received the item from a Mattel executive.

It’s difficult to say whether it’s worth $20,000 or not as there’s only one of them and there’s no record of it selling before.

Hulk Hogan LJN Prototype

Price: $50,000

Just because someone puts a price on something doesn’t mean that’s its value. This LJN Hulk Hogan prototype hasbeen on eBay for quite some time at $50,000, but it’s hard to imagine anyone ponying up that much. But hey, people have wasted more money in dumber ways.

Bonus: Hulk Hogan Thunderlips Doll

Price: $150

This satan’s spawn of a doll is based on Hulk Hogan’s appearance in “Rocky III” as the wrestler Thunderlips. He has a cape and a weirdly realistic head, and he sells foraround $150 — if it comes with the box. He may or may not wander the house in search of body oil and souls at night.
