WWE figure prices can vary significantly based on several factors. Understanding these factors is key to assessing the value of your figures.
Factors Influencing WWE Figure Prices
- Rarity: Figures produced in limited quantities or those that are exclusive to certain events or retailers are generally more valuable.
- Condition: Mint condition figures, especially those still in their original packaging (Mint In Package – MIP), command higher prices.
- Character Popularity: Figures of popular wrestlers, especially those from the “Attitude Era” or current top stars, tend to be more sought after.
- Figure Line: Certain figure lines, such as Jakks Pacific Classic Superstars or Mattel Elite Collection, are highly collectible and often fetch higher prices.
- Variants: Figures with variations, such as different attires, skin tones, or accessories, can be particularly valuable.
- Packaging: The condition of the packaging significantly affects the price. Creases, tears, or damage to the card can reduce the value.
Resources for Price Guidance
- eBay Sold Listings: Check completed listings on eBay to see what similar figures have actually sold for. Filter by “Sold Items” to get an accurate view of market prices.
- Online Price Guides: Websites specializing in collectible figures, though may not always be 100% up-to-date.
- Figure Collecting Communities: Online forums and social media groups dedicated to WWE figure collecting can provide valuable insights and price estimates from experienced collectors.
General Price Ranges (Estimates)
These are very rough estimates, and actual prices can vary widely:
- Common Modern Figures (Mattel Basic): $5 – $15 (MIP)
- Common Elite Figures (Mattel Elite): $20 – $40 (MIP)
- Jakks Pacific Classic Superstars: $30 – $100+ (MIP), depending on rarity
- Rare or Exclusive Figures: $50 – $500+ (MIP), or even higher for extremely rare items
Important Note: Grading figures professionally can increase their value, but the cost of grading should be weighed against the potential increase in price.
Remember to research thoroughly and compare prices from multiple sources before buying or selling WWE figures.
