Guys which of the legend series figures are the most sought after and hard to find as I’m collecting them at the moment and just trying to see which ones would be a pain. Also which ones are the essential ones to try and get as not all of them look good.... thanks in advance.

I mean, most of them are going to be hard to find MOC. Even loose they all bring in a pretty penny especially if you are looking for them in mint condition. Expect to pay $100+ for guys like demolition, Martel, Akeem, bundy. And you’ll be lucky to find Martel complete. In my honest opinion, I believe he is the hardest to find with all of his accessories.

To be honest you minus well start with legends series 7 and see what figures come out in this new wave unless you're willing to spend tons of money trying to get old legend figures.

Not sure if these count as the Legends line but the two packs of the Rockers and bushwackers and shiek and volkoff are tough to come by too. Were the red shoulder pads legion of doom considered legends line.
Is ax that much harder to find than smash?

Yes other collectors in the past have told me Ax is the hardest demolition figure to find out of the 3.... to be fair the smash figure I think looks better. |

Red shoulder pads LOD are from E30 not the Legends line, but NWA Road Warriors in black are in the Legends line. Funny thing is the Legendary Tag Team sets warmed hard at TRU and just killed the line after that one series, but they are hard to come by now even loose. It just goes to show today's shelfwarmers can be tomorrow's most sought after. |

I got Smash recently for $50 on eBay (pleased to see that it's in damn near perfect condition) and I was surprised to see Ax was closer to 70/80. |

Maybe you’re confusing it with the HOF Macho King. |

Akeem seems to be the hardest to find, especially with his accessories.
Then I would say the Legends figures that had the Hall of Fame plaques.

I’m shocked I got mine 2 years ago and it was $45 100% mint on card not even a single crease on the packaging. I had no idea it’s worth that much as before I often saw a good few on eBay and didn’t even think it sold. Lol |

Maybe you’re confusing it with the HOF Macho King. I think maybe because I got my one 2 years ago when it was still cheaper lol |

Martel.
Akeem.
Years ago, I got Akeem moc for $9.99 and then I sold it for $29.99 moc.
I got Martel moc for $35 and I still have it thankfully.
I eventually bought a loose Akeem without accessories for $35
So that’s one of my blunders

I regret not picking up Legends when I started collecting and prices were still pretty reasonable. I made a rule for myself that I was only going to collect what I could find in stores and what came out moving forward. As a new collector, it seemed like most figures were being re-released in some form or another, so I'd just pick up the next version. Obviously I was very, very wrong.
I was able to find a lot of them over the past 1-2 years at decent prices, but never did get Martel, Akeem, Bundy, or the Von Erichs.

I'd think it'd be a MOC Macho.

Strangely, when I first started buying mattel figures, Ringside was selling loose figures at crazy prices.
Got Akeem loose and complete for around $30 back in the day.
Got Macho King loose, but missing the fabric entrance attire for $9.
Got the Rockers loose and complete from ringside for $11.
Also picked up the pink Bret Hart and NWO Macho Man exclusives loose for next to nothing on the same order.
I bought Rick Martel at v-stock for $5, but missing the accessories. I wish they would make another already because I want the Arrogance can.
