The official Silvervision mail-away is Hogan 2 in a bag.
Hogan 1 and Savage 1 are probably leftovers from the Sears' ring, but in a Hasbro UK bag.

OK, bagged Hogan 1 was a Silver Vision offer:
In 1991, Silver Vision offered a free Hulk Hogan 1 with the purchase of "The Best of Saturday Nights Main Event" VHS. This promotion was advertised in WWF Magazines and by Merlin Publishing. If purchased via Silver Vision direct, the figure was sent following receipt of the order. If ordered via Merlin Publishing, the customer would be sent a voucher they were able to send away to redeem the figure. This figure arrived in a sealed clear bag with the UK Hasbro distribution details on the front along with safety warnings in several languages.

Very skeptical about the bagged Warrior that just surfaced. Seeing Hogan, Savage and now Warrior with warning stickers on the bags  Plastic looks brand spanking new as well ? Strange for that baggie to look that way almost 30 years later. |

There was a lot of uk silver vision offers for figures
I had a hogan figure, Bret shades, hogan bandana and a Bret (version 1 pink heart not the Purple Heart) from different videos and I got mine after 91. Would've been around 93 when hogan returned

I got my Hulk Hogan number 1 in 1991 free with the Best of Saturday Nights Main Event video. It was on the back of a poster magazine we got here in the UK called Sporting Superstars which was an official WWF magazine. It always makes me laugh because I have had people tell me I am mistaken and it was Hogan 2 that I got. I know for a million percent it was Hulk Hogan number 1 that I got. Series 2 was not out at the time I got this and I remember seeing Hulk Hogan number 1 in the store, but my mum would not let me get him because mine was coming in the mail..... which took freaking forever by the way.
The figure came in a standard padded envelope, but the one thing I cannot say for 1 million percent is what kind of bag it came in. I actually got another figure when I was a kid in a padded envelope and that was Sgt Slaughter. I was one of the winners from the DJ Kat show which was on Sky in the early 90s. Was cool to win, but I already had Sgt Slaughter at that time so I would use him as Col Mustafa.

Damn, figure sold as a best offer. Probably vintagefigs1. Hope he/whoever got some kind of proof besides the dealer selling hard to get figures. Nowadays there are too many scammers out there.

Who knows, has he said anything on the pod (I don't remember personally) about the other various mailaways? I just know they always talk about the main 3 from late 93'. But the others are just the regular figure but in a bag. I just don't see why anyone would pay extra for that. But, then again people pay crazy money for the Bret mailaway, so what do I know. |

Beware stickers on bags - Hasbro never released any stickered bags they were all printed directly on the bag.
The stickers appeared mid 00s with almost every early Hasbro in there (many sold as Summerslam 92 giveaways) - these were forged and the ones still in circulation seem to occasionally re-appear.
