Is there any rhyme or reason to the numbers on the Hasbro mail away figure bags? The Undertakers I have seen online are numbered 81132. Mine is 81133.

The P/N numbers usually are as follows:
Hogan 81131 Undertaker 81132 Bret 81133
They're basically just the production numbers associated with each figure. I don't think having a Taker in Bret's bag would make it fake, but I would definitely double check to make sure the bag wasn't tampered with in any way.
Considering a MIB Bret Hart goes for a pretty penny, I don't see why they would chose to use that instead of a Hogan bag if they were trying to reseal Taker.
Basically, he was either dumped in the wrong bag during production, or someone made the switch after the fact to try and reseal it.

Doesn't appear to be tampered with.

Doesn't appear to be tampered with. They probably just grabbed the Bret bag when they mailed that Undertaker. As long as the bag has one of those numbers and looks untampered with, I'd say you've got the real deal. If anything, a 'Taker in a Bret Hart bag is a variant mail away, which is pretty cool.

It's crazy how much the Bret Baggie goes for, considering there is no difference between it and the moc version my MOC Purple heart Bret cost around £20. you are basically paying $300+ for a clear plastic bag

Doesn't appear to be tampered with. Then I would venture to guess he was simply tossed in the wrong bag during production. If the hair and beard color of Taker are correct, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't see the logic in destroying a MIB Bret to make a MIB Taker.

Great condition on your Bret and a really great price. I paid $40 for similar condition pink heart. Mattel Retro popularity has really brought a resurgence to Hasbro but unfortunately, has also inflated prices.

Yeah, I'm looking to get the other two MOC.
I'd buy the mail away if I was doing really well financially or found one for a great deal, but only because Bret Hart is my favorite wrestler of all time.

If you bought it opened, there's no way of knowing if it's legit or a red series Undertaker that someone put in a Bret Hart mail away bag.

Not true, the beard and hair are VERY different colors between the series 4, red card, and mail away version. I don't have mine handy for comparison, but I'm sure someone else will post. They are three pretty distinct color variations ranging from red hair (series 4), very dark brown (red card), and a lighter brown (mail away).

I thought the mail away Undertaker was simply a Red Series. Sorry, and thanks for the information.
