Anyone else have any Remcos? I got into them a few months ago but it's hard to find certain figures complete. Here's mine so far

They are pretty awesome. I started with the more popular wrestlers and they are definitely that. I need a Scott Hall but I'll probably have to get a reproduced jacket. The one i want the most is John Nord but he goes for a ton!

John Nord? Gee, I wonder why He was great! Raven has the best stories about him and The Grappler.

I own a Larry Zybysko. He's in rough shape, but he's my oldest figure and I'm glad to have him. I really admire this line for being the first in the states to do two-packs and give them such great accessories. As grateful as I am for the current figures, AWA Remco/5.5 Wrestling figures are still something special. Thanks for making this thread! I collect some modern 5.5 figures and can't help but wish they made some wrestlers.

I have never really paid any attention to the Remco AWA figures but these look great. Love that Baron Von Raschke has his claw hand moulded on, seems ahead of its time. The heads are also pretty good considering the time that these were made. I can call all of them except the guy in the red jacket in the top right, Zybsko, Terry Taylor?

I have Greg Gagne and Curt Henning. They have the pants but are missing the vests and hats. Found them at a Goodwill about a year ago for $1 each.

You can find some figures complete for dirt cheap, and some that are missing just sunglasses or something for cheap. But some figures complete are BIG dollars! I'm still trying to get a good checklist on them going. I know shawn michaels and marty jannetty complete sell for hundreds each. They are very rarely seen on ebay. A pair of their glasses were just sold for like $75. Another thing is a lot of people sell repro cloth items. Like Scott hall's jacket. You can get a repro for $20. I don't even know how much a real one goes for. I bought the Road Warriors and had to do some studying to make sure they were what I was being charged for. You can get the chaps for like $15-$20 but I wanted original. Still got the 2 with chaps and collars for $25 with no belts. I was the only bidder. Lucky me.

I am not sure if you knew, but the Road Warriors were packed 2 ways, one with the belts and no Ellering and with Ellering and no belts.

There are some cool variants in the line also like Gordy and Garvin in either ripped or chubby styled bodies. I'm sure there are more. Still learning about them

I used to have all of them except the Mat Mania series. Unfortunately I had to sell most of them except Precious 😭
I did find a Michael Hayes for $1 so that’s pretty neat!

Check out the Fully Poseable podcast from a few months back. They did a whole series on the AWA line

The AWA figures were way ahead of their time with the real clothing. I don't think many companies did clothing until the late 90s and early 2000s. Hasbro did the Undertaker and Berzeker clothes but outside of that I can't think of very many. I'm sure Remco did some cost cutting with using the same bodies but still, the clothes made up for it. I was reading a fan blog where he met Scott Hall and got his AWA figure signed and Scott said in the package it was worth $400. I'm not sure off hand but that seems legit. At least more than John Nord thinking his Hasbro (most likely mistaking it for AWA) is worth $1,000 or whatever his price was LOL.

There are quite a few actually that go for close to a grand. Thats why this line is so strange to me. It's either cheap or huge dollars
