Hi All,
Thought i'd post on here as I am set to start collecting WWE Mattel figures - in particular the 1/1000 Belt figures.
My main line of collecting is in vintage figures (in particular WWF Hasbro, WCW Galoob and more recently AWA Remco)
At 28 years old my main interest is the collectability factor hence why I have chosen to get the 1/1000 figures over the standard release.
I brought my 1st 1/1000 figure yesterday - Kofi Kingston.
What I am wondering is do other collectors see these figures as potentially the future 'rare' figures to own.
My theory is if each superstar produced comes in the 1/1000 category there is a very good chance that by the time they have all been sold - a percentage will have been opened (whether it being those not realising they own a 1/1000 or those wanting to play/display their figures) thus leading to these figures instead of being 1/1000 MOC going down to 1/600 (for example).
So my question as above is are collectors viewing these figures as the potential hard to find figures of the future?
Mattel has a great track record of these limited quantity and limited release number figures being must have items on the market (for example MOTU Classics). I'm lookng forward to attempting to get one of each of these figures as my new collecting obsession begins!
