Hey guys,
I was just wondering if any members here possibly had any signed MOC WWF Hasbro or LJN Hulk Hogan figures in their collection. I looked on eBay for any for sale, but came up empty. I'm sure some have to exist out there. Some fan out there MUST have met Hogan and got him to sign a MOC Hasbro or LJN figure at some point.
I just wanted to see some signed examples, that's all. With Fan Expo in Toronto just around the corner, I will be taking my MOC WWF LJN "Collector's Edition" white shirt Hogan figure to get signed and will post pics after I get home on the Sunday.
If anyone has any pics to share, please do!! Thanks!!

In my opinion, Hasbro figures don't look that great signed. I think the figures that look best signed are the Jakks Classic Superstars.

Probably because most Hasbro's have been opened by now and they've been out of production since the early 90s.

^ Wow!! That's freakin' awesome man. Were those signed all at once or have you met Hogan on a few occasions?? If so, was he charging anything?? I too, have all 4 of those WWF Hasbro's MOC and would love to get them signed. Only problem is that at Fan Expo in Toronto, Hogan is charging $99 a pop for autographs!! No way I'm shelling out that much.

I can vouch for the fact that they exist, because I saw him signing a ton of both recently, and I am completely aware that this is going to sound like a huge lie.
A couple of years ago, I went to one of Hulk Hogan's "Back from the Brink" speaking tour shows in Greensboro, which was advertised as Hogan talking about his career, but turned out to be nothing more than him shilling weight loss shakes.
Anyway, I ended up buying the VIP package for $100 because it meant you got to meet him and get something signed, and it included a front row seat to the event. I couldn't decide on a figure, so I ended up bringing a WWF promo photo. It turned out that he was signing as many things as you had for no additional charge. Not only that, but he had brought Brutus Beefcake and Eric Bischoff along as "surprise guests," (Eric ended us being the interviewer during the show and Brutus was a 'guest') and they were doing the same thing! I ended up getting my ticket to the show (which I apparently dropped in the @#$% parking garage), an index card (I go to enough conventions to know to keep those handy in the car), and one of the photos he was selling there signed too, but some people basically brought wagonloads of merch to get signed - just plastic totes of figures upon figures, which Hulk freakin' Hogan just sat there and patiently signed. All the while, salespeople kept trying to push that weight loss shake on people, so I suppose that was the reason it was happening.
I had sooo many things I could have gotten signed, had they mentioned that would happen, but it's easy to see why they didn't. If I didn't mind kind of imposing on him, I could have hypothetically gotten all of Hogan's carded Hasbro figures, two LJNs, and most of his CS figures, along with both Hasbro Brutus-es and his CS figure signed in one fell swoop for $100 total.
I can say with extreme certainty that there aren't many people kicking themselves as hard as I am over that, but at least I got to get my picture with Hogan, which is worth much more than an autograph, to me.

Having a real signature over top of a printed one looks kind of strange. Part of me wishes they wouldn't have put those printed signatures on there, because the Hasbro era wrestlers are the ones I'm most interested in getting signatures from.

I wouldn't get any figures sign, it's just like replica belts the signature adds absolutely no extra value to the item

That should fetch you a a pretty penny if you were to ever sell it.

They were all signed at the same time. Met him at airport. But if I did not have that opportunity 100% I would have paid to get them signed.

I'm still trying to build my MOC WWF LJN collection, so I have absolutely no intention of selling any of them. I'm very fortunate to own as many as I do. My MOC LJN's and Hasbro's are my favorites in my collection.

Like the one in your pic above with your LJN Hulk Hogan figure hanging from
