Do you mean how many of each figure was produced by Hasbro or do you mean how many figures are in the entire set? If it is the first question, I don't know. If it is the second question, the answer is 101 (though, Smash series 2 tag team, Tatanka series 9, Shawn and Razor series 7 re-releases were just re-releases with no repaints or changes to the first figure). Though, if you are counting re-releases the total is 120 (17 from the Summer Slam Series - which were just re-releases of series 1 and 2 figures. And 2 - the Savage and Hogan figures that came with the JC Penny WWF Ring, both were just Series 1 figures in bags instead of cards).

That's not easy to answer...
First of all when just looking at US-cards we speak of 11 series, but basically that's wrong: we should count series by assortments, then there are 14 series. This way you find Hogan 1 on a series 2 card. As already mentioned by mksavage there were a bunch of re-releases. So, some figures where definitely produced in higher quantities than others...

Thanks Ruby! But surely there’s some kind of indication on whether 1000 or 10,000 of each we’re made. I mean going back on stores selling them around the world and likely to have 1/2 of each minimum you’d think 10s of thousands were produced! Looking on auction sites you’d say no more than 1000 each. Just always been curious about this, someone must know 🧐 |

Just always been curious about this, someone must know 🧐 A 1000 of each?! Hasbro WWF figures were amongst the most popular boys toys globally throughout 91 and 92. There were absolutely thousands of them produced which is why they are so easy to obtain MOC in comparison to other toys. Using eBay to understand how many were produced is a bit of a weird way to look at it. Production and sales are also two vastly different things. Exact numbers aren't going to be general knowledge. |

I always assumed that Jake must be in the top 3 in terms of how many were manufactured. I still think (for me) he’s the most found figure in lots, car boot sales etc, shame Damien didn’t share the same fate. At one point in the mid 2000’s a guy was selling around 50 Jakes, in single lots for 25p each. It always really amused me.
Interestingly, I love the Jake figure mold. Big fan of it for customs.

It always seemed like there were tons of Brutus #1 also. Bossman #2 also seems pretty common. |

This way you find Hogan 1 on a series 2 card. As already mentioned by mksavage there were a bunch of re-releases. So, some figures where definitely produced in higher quantities than others... Actually I think it's more like 17 waves counting the 2 tag team waves. 1990 Asst 1 (Dibiase, Jake, Hogan, Rude, Ax, Smash) 1990 Asst 2 (Akeem, Bossman, Andre, Brutus, Warrior, Macho) 1991 Asst 1 (Warrior, Piper, Duggan, Dusty, Jake, Honky) 1991 Asst 2 (Macho King, Hogan, Dibiase, Snuka, Bossman, Brutus) Tag Team Asst 1 1992 Asst 1 (Hulk, Brutus, Quake, Typhoon, Macho, Slaughter) 1992 Asst 2 (Tornado, Perfect, Hammer, Koko, Warrior, Piper) 1992 Asst 3 (Bret, Bulldog, Bossman, Dragon, Undertaker) Tag Team Asst 2 1993 Asst 1 (Mountie, Warlord, Virgil, Sid, Anvil) 1993 Asst 2 (IRS, Macho, Hulk, Skinner, Martel) 1993 Asst 3 (Tatanka, Santana, Shango, Berzerker, Flair, Repo Man) 1993 Asst 4 (yellow card) 1994 Asst 1 (red card) 1994 Asst 2 (purple card) 1994 Asst 3 (dark blue card) 1995 Asst 1 (green card) I may have swapped 91 or 92 Asst's. It also gets weird with figures being swapped out, we know Hogan #1s exist with 1992 backer cards so he was put into some cases in 92', maybe a replacement for Warrior? And I think Rude shipped with earlier cases of S2 and was later replaced by Honky who had been dropped from the Tag Team set planned. And I also think Warrior #3 was later shipped with the Bret/Bulldog wave in late 92' after he came back to the company as that's when I found him with that wave. Then you've got instances of full cases of single figures turning up like that case of red card Mr. Perfect I keep seeing and most people report only finding Nasty Boys or LOD packs and never both at the same time. |

The first few series were easily in the high hundreds of thousands. These were world wide toys, on sale everywhere from toy stores to nickel and dimes to catalogues.
