Was just wondering if there was any vintage figure that even years after initially collecting you never managed to own?
Mine was the Hasbro Skinner, never owned it during my initial Hasbro days and have never had it even later on, whether it been a boot (yard) sale buy or to sell on as stock.
So I would be interested to see what you guys never owned for whatever reason.

My list is a bit longer than one figure since I collect multiple brands of figures. I look daily, with few results.
I have never been able to get an OSFTM Hero Head of Hulk Hogan and (if they exist) the 4 1/2" figures of Scott Steiner and Goldberg that came with stickers - they put out versions that came with and without stickers of other figures in the line. I believe that these three are the only items from them that I so not have after having collected them for 12 years.
The Galoob UK versions of green Luger, Pre-Ring Luger, Dustin Rhodes, blue Windham and the single card Freebirds are others that I have not been able to locate reasonably in that same time frame.
I have been looking got Applause keychain figures of Andre and Beefcake for almost as long (if they exist).
More recently, it is Toybiz Window Crashers of Hogan and Nash and variants of Bend N Flex Goldberg (with one arm up) and Brawlin Bikers versions of Hogan and Savage with the World Championship logo (as opposed to the WCW/NWO logo) if these variants exist. I also look for multi packs of Brawling Bashers and Body Bashers I do not have since I have at least one version of both, but there may have been others made. Without a checklist, it is hard to determine if any more exist. I have been collecting these since 2009.
It is frustrating looking for figures which may or may not exist.

It was Giant Gonzalez when I was a kid. I had pretty much every Hasbro except him. I was so upset about it I didn't even want to buy wrestlers for a while or watch wrestling...not like at that time period for a kid you didn't have a million other options to keep you busy.
There are a few that still seem to elude me. But ones I don't actually see for sale...
...hmm...
...there is this Colorforms TMNT 3D set that I'd kill for that doesn't even seem to pop up under sold items when I search for it. I have doubts I'll ever actually be able to find one that is brand new.
It's hard for me to think of more, when I became an adult, I made it my mission to go pick up all the toys I wanted really badly as a kid but never got and so far I've got pretty far through that list.
I love this post.

Mine would be most of the UK exclusives WCW Galoobs, you would think being here in the UK I could have obtained them very easy but nope, not here down south, only found US release ones I never saw a UK exclusive in the shops, I have most now but only through scouring ebay for minters and above average prices.
Still need a mint UK Barry Windham and UK Brian Pillman if anyone has one going lol

Had all the ones I ever wanted ad a collector, but as a kid these were elusive to me:
LJN: black cards, Hart Foundation, white and red Hogans, Hacksaw, Ax, Koko, Race
Hasbro: Mr. P, Bret, Taker, Yoko, green cards, Koko (what's with him?), Warrior 3, Nasty Boys

With the Hasbro's, we never got Series 11 over here, so neither me or my friends had any of them when we were kids. Also, Dusty Rhodes was only ever seen on the back of a card! Great to own all of these now, mind. Would have been even better to have them all back then!

When I was a kid I had a WWF magazine with a Hasbro ad inside the cover. This was in mid-late 94 but the green card figures weren't included on the ad and I never saw any Hasbros at the store as a child so I used to stare at that ad for hours wishing I had those figures especially the Lex Luger and Purple Card Jim Duggan.
Luger was one of my favorites at the time and me being a kid I couldn't understand why he was still in his Narciss attire.
I had never seen Duggan in a singlet and that's what made that figure stick out to me.
All these years later and I still haven't added them to my collection.
