Which one of these figures do you consider as a rare and hard to find figure nowadays?

None, with the McMahon figure perhaps being the exception, but that's because he wasn't sold in a conventional way. Otherwise all those figures were made in mass quantities so calling them rare would be a bit of an oxymoron.

Mattel figures just aren't rare. The only few exceptions would be first and foremost: the figure which must not be named. (I don't know why we can't talk about the figure.) The others would be the one of a kind custom they did for the WWE video game. The McMahon might be slightly more valuable, but not very rare. Mattel simply produces too many of them.
Now hard to find is a better classification.

Austin L1 is def rare now.. since mattel doesnt appear to ever send out anything prior to L3 to retail & ringside hasnt even had it.. i was tryin to sell mine its MOC on th wf class. and i got silly offers like $12 incl. ship!!! come on bro!!.. i dont see many on the bay, even loose it gets over $20 easy, but most of the time its a different mattel austin but with that vest...
mcmahon might be the winner just due to the process to get it ( yup i'm lazy)!! but i predict they will pop up for sale in large quantities somewhere sumtime prob for re dik you less amounts of $$..
its odd cause my kmart has had 4 L1 Dusty Rhodes for over a year and 3 L2 Funks and 4 L4 Pillman...
i have a mattel mint on card / mint in box LOT i made a few posts in the class sec. but i only got about 3 responses and each had to be from 11 year olds..brother.. its only 24-27 items but rare and all perfect moc... one kid offered me $100 INCLUDING DELIVERY!!!... i kno YOU dudes know how much usps priority mail charges to ship a flat rate medium box ( which fits 1 moc legend)
sorry to annoy u guys with my rant.pm me if ur interested anyQ's accepted.. any offer will be L00ked @!! i expect to get less than retail .. will provide pics and the list

The Hurricane is a figure I missed out on because I wasn't collecting then. He is definitely rare as of 2011. If you want him, you will have to pay an arm and a leg from a Chumlee or eBay. Vickie Guerrero on the other hand is packed one per every other case, so she is extremely rare.

I laughed my ass off when I saw the sign. |

Finding those in stores is pretty hard now, but my area has always had really good distribution. I've found all the "hard to find" figures right when they start hitting. I've also picked up some of the figures on that list this month for under $12 shipped from ebay and other places. Hurricane I found 2 months ago at walmart, it seems like now and then random sets are restocked because they find a misplaced box.

Hard to find doesn't really apply when the figures first hit stores, unless you're talking about the present.
E1-E3 and E7 figures are my biggest problems now.. I want those Elite DX figures and E1 Punk, so I guess those are hard to find?

Of the ones i have, Natalya was hardest to find, both at retail and online (for a reasonable price). I ended up paying $35 for her  |

i voted for Rey Mysterio (Avatar) because this is the first I have heard of it and after a quick look on EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED.uk there are none. The rest I am aware of. Granted don't see them that often and they are expensive on Ebay and the likes.

I voted Vickie although there are many others on the list that are also really hard to find [at least for me].
