In recent years, a surge in popularity for collectibles for years gone by has seen a community of collectors old and new looking to accomplish completion of the WWF Hasbro series of wrestling action figures. Ultimately, prices and rarity are dictated by how much a collector is willing to pay, and there is an interesting difference in value between the WWF Hasbro figures that have 'ages 4 and up' at the top of the card instead of the 'ages 5 and up' header.
The distinction primarily relates to production and distribution differences, which can affect a figure's collectibility and value among wrestling figure enthusiasts.
The "Ages 4 & Up" cards were typically produced for international markets, including Europe. These reflect local toy safety regulations that differed from the United States at the time. The "Ages 5 & Up" cards were often seen on figures sold in the American market.
Certain figures were only released on either the "Ages 4 & Up" or "Ages 5 & Up" cards, making one variation potentially rarer than the other. Collectors might prioritize one type over the other based on their preference for a complete regional set or personal nostalgia. In some cases, the "Ages 4 & Up" cards can command a higher price in regions where "Ages 5 & Up" versions were more common, and vice versa. Specific figures on either card type may be rare, influencing desirability among collectors.
It is worth keeping an eye on how values for WWF Hasbro figures fluctuate. Also, check the card for variations! Your MOC figure may be worth than you expected!
