Since 1992, I have been collecting wrestling figures in various forms. Starting with WWF Hasbro, that led to WCW Galoob, WCW OSFTM, Jakks Bone Crunchers, Jakks TTL and RA (which aren’t covered here) and Mattel. My Mattel list of Holy Grails has shrunk considerably since I wrote my wrestling regrets, and updates for missing pieces, and again in 2023.
WCW Galoob:
- Dustin Rhodes
- Brian Pillman blue gear
- Barry Windham blue gear
- El Gigante
- Big Josh
- Sting w/ coat
- Lex Luger w/robe
This would give me a complete set.
THE GRAIL: I’ve never seen Sting with a coat in person.
WCW OSFTM:
- Lex Luger
- Nasty Boys in Green, Orange,
Yellow - Macho Man in black and silver
- Ric Flair in red, green, blue
- Harlem Heat in dark blue, red
- Kevin Sullivan in red
- Hulk Hogan in workout gear
- Crow Sting
- Sting in Pink, Black
This list would give me a complete set.
THE GRAIL: Ric Flair in blue is extremely rare and expensive.
Grails here are Sting in black, Flair in blue, as they are very hard to come by for a good price.
Jakks BCA:
Ultimate Warrior regular release- Ultimate Warrior in green
- Bret Hart no glasses
- Goldust series 3 version
- Best of 1998 Series 1 Skull
- Plus a decent sized list of replacements
Ringside Collectibles:
- Macho King
- nWo Macho Man
- Wolfpac Macho Man
I greatly reduced my Mattel list due to the Vault and Greatest Hits, as they are covering a lot of the missing pieces that I will accept into my collection.
Hasbro:
- Mail-in Bret Hart
- Mail-in Undertaker
- Mail-in Hulk Hogan
This list is mostly able to be accomplished but there are some that are extremely pricey, which is what makes them grails. I will be updating this list and removing those which I end up purchasing.
Happy Hunting!
