I've always found myself attracted to the old wwf ljn bendies (as well as the bendems but that's a different story, one has better movement and one, arguably, produced around a better time in wrestling), after seeing the steel cage commercial on youtube years ago, I know and can tell that LJN bendies are quite uncommon or rare and fetch decent prices, from $100-$200, even though I just saw a link for them on ebay with the ring and 10 or so of them for $250... mhh.....
People also seem to talk about the bobby heenan one, and I checked ebay and found no bendy, only the huge bulk LJN ones, so I gotta ask, is this figure rarer than others or are people just really wanting a bobby heenan one?

I found this photo... Yep, that's it, except mine is loose, pretty sure I bought it at a flea market at one point. Just wondering if this one is considered "rarer" than other figures |

I prefer the bendies over the 8 inchers. I wouldn't say these fetch $100-200, except maybe 2-packs or a moc Savage.
In the bendies line there were only 2 managers: Albano and Heenan. At the time, Albano had more exposure with the whole Rock 'n' Wrestling thing (appearing in Cindi Lauper videos and stuff like that). So I guess Albano was the one that sold well. Heenan was probably the pegwarmer...

I had all the bendies except for Heenan, brutus and macho man. I never saw them in stores. If I had saw them I would have bought them. I would like to know too if people had the same struggle finding certain ones.

It's one of the tougher to find ones, but none are exactly rare. The MOC tag sets would be the pinnacle of that series.
I don't even remember seeing/buying them at all in stores like I do for the large LJNs,though I had half a dozen of them as a kid.

I would agree that they probably are not rare, just not as easy to find as some of the others. It was the last one I found in my quest to complete that portion of the line.

It took me a couple of months before I snagged a Heenan figure to complete my set. I couldn't find him being sold as a singles figure on the internet, so I had to buy him in a larger lot of 10 figures for $40. I would agree that he's not really rare --- but just a bit harder to find than the other figs.
