My end-all-be-all Mattel grail would be the DM Hollywood Hogan. From boot to bandana, it was perfect. Still hurts  |

I came late to the game so for me to get E17 Mankind complete off the bay for under 50$ was a steal. I love that character. Also, DM Bret Hart, DM Hall, RSC NWO Macho and my collection of custom Wyatts.
In terms of figures I don't have, Legends Macho and DM Macho and RSC Macho King would probably be hard to beat. Hart Foundation Bulldog has eluded me so far. I figure I will just have to pony up the cash to get it though cause I can never seem to find one for what I consider to be a good price.
Figures that haven't been made: Rick Rude with the IC title on his tights, a straight face, short hair WCW champion Rude a decent Bret Hart scan (the attires of his figures so far have been home-runs but the scans leave something to be desired for me.) Finally, I'd really like to see an Owen Hart in his black heart, road sign, and king of Harts attires.

Probably the Warrior exclusives, I've had chances to buy them throughout the years, but I'm always too cheap to cross that line. If I happened upon a million dollars, I'd probably track down all of them in mib/moc condition. Of course, that darn Jeff Hardy in the box, too. I think that's only a matter of time though, hopefully MDT put out a replica of that figure in 2010 packaging when they do get the rights, of course they'll have to omit half of the figs on the back of the box. I also want the Koslov sambo jacket, saw it once at a Kmart and thought,"I'm not paying $15 for a friggin jacket", haven't seen the figure or the coat online for less than that, though I'm sure some cheap auctions have slipped past me.
Out of what I own, it's a three way tie between RSC HBK, Elite 12 Kane, and Legends 6 Warrior. Those looks were always extremely hard for me to find in stores, whether BCAs, RAs, or Elite versions, I wish I would have bought back ups for Warrior and Kane online back in the day, before the resale value escalated.

Of what I own: RSC Bret, Legends Eddie, E13 Edge, Both Mankinds, RSC Cactus, RSC 02/03 Kane & E18 Taker were all holy grails of mine and I'm so glad I have them. Another random one of mine was 'avatar' Rey Mysterio, finding a decent priced one being in the uk was annoying but I got him and love it.
I had E12 Kane but sold it a few days ago, it was a holy grail that left me very underwhelmed, don't get the fuss about it, wm31 heritage is better imo. Also had and sold nwo savage, again, overrated to me.
In terms of ones left to buy then I have only one left which I know I'll never get at a decent price: DM HBK. One day.......

It took almost 26 years for someone to make it, but this was my holy grail of wrestling figures.  What small pink kneepads did you use?? Because I am not a fan of the giant ones that came with that Bret. I am pretty sure it is the kneepads from the Wrestlemania figure that came out with HBK a couple years ago. |

Mine would be:
E17 Mankind
E19 HBK
RSC NWO Macho man
RSC Steve Austin
RSC Cactus Jack
Rick Martel Legends
Texas Tornado Legends
Bam Bam legends
I was a MOC/MIB collector and it was difficult before to get these figures but easier if acquired loose.
Now I decided to loose them due to space (and I hated the packaging lately) , It's now more difficult to get them even loose.
With recent trend of re-released figures. I hope they will re-release some of them specially Bam bam.

Here's the ones that I do have:
-RSE Unmasked Kane (got him for just under $20 shipped, and complete)
-RSE SES CM Punk ($33 shipped loose, no accessories, basic long hair/beard headscan)
-Elite 17 Mankind, I'm not man enough to open my copy. (Got him for under $50 shipped)
-Legends 1 SCSA MOC (I believe closed to $30 shipped)
-Elite 9 Randy Orton MOC ($27 shipped)
-Title chase Finn Balor MOC - he's useless to me since he's a basic, but he's trade bait
-Elite 20 CM Punk - My first Mattel purchase.
What I need to find at a descent prize:
-RSE Cactus Jack
-RSE Hardcore Kane (the attire is awesome, I remember having a Jakks like that, plus I don't have a Hardcore championship)
- Elite 5 Vladimir Kozlov
- Elite 31 Vader - I actually had 3 copies of him, but sold each in a couple lots of 6 figs for about $80 loose, shipped. That was around Dec. 2014.

It's SES Punk for me as well. I'm a Punk fan, I enjoyed the hell out of that angle, and the figure looks incredible. Good for you that you got it for a reasonable price. Well done.

My end-all-be-all Mattel grail would be the DM Hollywood Hogan. From boot to bandana, it was perfect. Still hurts DM Hollywood is (in my opinion) the "grail-of-figs-that-haven't-been-made-yet". I really wish I never saw that proto pic. It was perfect. Let's hope the fences get mended someday, and they end up making it. They have to, right? |

I don't think I have any Holy Grails. Every figure I had the opportunity to buy and passed for whatever reason. E12 Kane I could've bought a dozen times but never wanted it for whatever reason. But I still have RSC Masked Kane in Chains and RSC Hardcore Kane so still have a couple decent versions of him in my collection. Also thought about getting SES Punk several times when he was available and passed. But like Kane I have other Punks that I enjoy just as much, if not more. Have All Stars Punk that I turned into Pipe Bomb Punk, E16 Punk, and RSC ECW Punk. RSC Rated R Edge is the only other I have slight regrets not getting but I was never a big Edge fan and have the only Edge I ever really wanted and that is E13. None of those are major regrets and nothing I am actively seeking but if I saw today at a flea market or garage sale priced by someone unknowingly of its value then I suppose I would pick them up.
