Does anybody know the production run numbers of these limited editions? Were these 1 in 3000?

I know it’s always been said that the Flair was a 1/3000, but I’ve been sceptical of that just for the amount that popped up originally then reappeared on WWE Shop a few years ago. Hogan, no idea. I’d imagine that it would be a high number since there could have been an unlimited number of people that collected all the tickets. They couldn’t have produced 3000 if 3001 people had all the tickets and sent them away for one, if you get me.

I'm sure that Jeremy Padawar would probably know ... maybe shoot him a message on social media and see if he'll respond ?

I feel like that was a monumental task back then.

Thanks guys! I didn't realize this was such a mystery. I always knew these were rare, but was just wondering exactly how rare. I'm sure that more than 3000 collectors could have qualified for these figures at the time they were offered, but I also know they seemed to be very limited. I finally scored each of these figs last week, and though they are both a grail to me, I wanted to know how rare they actually are.

I feel like that was a monumental task back then. I collected all the tickets but it started before the actual figure was announced. I was disappointed when it ended up being the 2 in 1 Hogan because I wasn't really a fan and both of those gimmicks were nothing to me. So I decided to just keep the tickets and frame them. They looked pretty cool as a display but I got rid of them years ago.
