Just curious, people who collect loose, what do you class as a complete collection? Do you consider it simply the ones you could purchase from stores or do you include the mail always, the large talking hogan/warrior and or even the royal rumble minis?

Full series without mailaways
Reason being not all territories had the mailaways, and even if they did some got others. For instance some who sent off for wm9 era hogan got bear hug hogan instead and being pre Internet / secondary market etc there was no way to guarantee a full set including mailaways
For the same reason I personally consider full set without green cards to be a set also

apart from evil Crush and Dusty, I'd say I've got a complete loose Hasbro collection (from as a kid and subsequently topping up the ones I didn't get back in the early 2000s from eBay)
I couldn't justify £250 back then for a Dusty but missed out on a few evil Crush figures at £50 or more (at the time) and now regret not bidding more LOL!

I call it complete if you have all of the figures you could buy in stores, series 1-11. Having any of the mailaways or prototypes is a bonus.

I’ve often wondered this, great question.
Now as I have approx 1/3 - 1/2 of them I have a specific question of my own.
Do I need two Tatanka?

And 2 Gorilla Press Hogan’s, there’s a color variation on the yellow of his legs, well, make it 3, he was reissued in series 2 as well…and 2 Smash’s, one with mask, one without…and two white pants Shawn Michaels and 2 red trunks Razor Ramon’s…gotta have the 3 Mail Aways, well actually, you’ll need 2 of the Purple Heart Bret since he was also available on card…Am I missing anything!? 😁 |

I forgot, you’ll need a pink tights Rick Rude and a Yellow Boots Dusty, I know that they’re not true variants, just plastic degradation, but I don’t make the rules 😁
I’ve also added the “missing” figs Mattel has made, Green trunks Macho, Diesel, Anvil and I’m anxiously awaiting wave 13/boxset 3 so I can add more…

I only asked as I’ve recently started downsizing a lot of my collection, I’ve kept a full set of loose hasbros but debating whether to sell off my royal rumble mini ring, I see them as a hasbro side collection

All regular releases & mailaway Hogan This. Except you don't need the 2 Smashs or 2 Tatankas. I'd ignore any subtle variations too, they're unnecessary. Purple heart Bret is a nice but unecessary bonus if you can find it. I honestly don't feel like I need both/all 3 Undertakers. I have one with the coat and that suits me fine. |
