The WWF Hasbro wrestling action figure collection is a highly coveted and prized collectible, and in the last three to four years the value of these items has soared.
Interest in these figures has grown rapidly, and much of that renewed attention began during the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. Famous podcasters such as Bryan Myers and Matt Cardona of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast helped make these collections popular again, as the duo often covered their journeys through vintage toy stores seeking out the WWF Hasbro figure line.
Our website, Retrofigure.com, was created to help collectors identify the value of their wrestling figure collections and assign a fair value to items before selling on eBay, Mercari, Etsy, or Facebook groups. The value of these collectibles changes all of the time, which is why Retrofigure constantly tracks sold prices and uses this data to calculate a fair value based on average sale price.
In recent times, adults have been known to venture into their attic and rummage through storage boxes only to stumble across a rare Hulk Hogan mailaway worth more than $1000. There is treasure to be found if you were an avid collector of the Hasbro or LJN line as a child, and online auction sites continue to prove how strong demand can be. Retrofigure is your first port of call if you're asking yourself the question: are WWF Hasbro figures worth anything?
In short, the answer is a resounding YES! If you kept your WWF Hasbros in pristine condition and unopened Mint on Card, you could be looking at a value of around $1600 for a Dusty Rhodes, while lower-end examples such as Headshrinker Fatu may sit closer to $80. Considering you could once buy three figures for $10, this is a strong return for a 30-year-old toy. If you'd like to see the values of the WWF Hasbros in order of value, explore our WWF Hasbro figure valuation data. In general, the average price of an unopened WWF Hasbro MOC figure is around $180-$200. English-language MOC figures are usually more valuable than French or Spanish cards, although some multi-language MOCs can be harder to find and may sell for a little more.
As of September 2023, to give you an idea of how valuable WWF Hasbro mint on card figures can be, here is a short breakdown:
Prices vary over time, and values change considerably according to the condition of the figure, the card and particularly the bubble. Any damage, dents or cracks in the bubble will significantly reduce the value of the figure.
If you own an unopened Mint on Card WWF Hasbro figure with no cracks, no dents and a generally clean card, it may be worth considering grading. If you decide to grade it through a company such as UKG (UK Graders), you could potentially increase the value of your figure by up to 3x.
What about loose figures that have been sitting untouched in a box for 25 years? The answer is still YES! Again, the value depends heavily on condition. You can track WWF Hasbro loose figure values on our site, but it is worth knowing that a loose figure with no damage, in original condition as if it just came fresh out of the box, can be worth anything from $8 to $2000. A Hogan mailaway can cost around $2000 if you are looking to buy one on eBay, but there are numerous figures that attract high values. Here are a few examples:
As you can imagine, the prices of these figures are driven by rarity. You will see above that the famous Series 11 Green Cards are all near the top of the value rankings, largely because they had a limited release as Hasbro wound down its contract with the WWF. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, Bret the Hitman Hart from Series 8 is worth around $110, partly because many young fans already had the Series 4 version and did not add the Series 8 Bret to their toy box. The same applies to the Undertaker, who had a second release in Series 8 after his first in Series 4. Razor Ramon also received a new variant with purple trunks in Series 10, and this version is significantly harder to find than the yellow card version of Razor. In some cases, a figure was removed from the line early, such as Dusty Rhodes from Series 2. Dusty's contract with the WWF ended abruptly, meaning fewer of these figures were released.
Condition is just as important for loose figures as it is for MOC examples. Paint wear, loose joints, missing accessories, sun fading and marker pen can all affect the final sale price. A figure that looks complete at first glance may still lose value if its action feature no longer works properly, so it is worth checking each figure carefully before selling or buying.
In summary, are your WWF Hasbro figures worth anything? Generally, you should be able to get a fair price for them on an online auction site. If you're selling your childhood collection in bulk, an entrepreneurial collector may buy all of your figures for a discount. There is definitely a very lucrative market for these figures today.
