Tracking Spreadsheet

I've been putting together a master reference of the Golden Era through the end of the Monday Night Wars — every WWF/WWE, WCW and ECW figure of those guys, and flagging which ones depict a Hall of Famer. Ended up at 971 figures across 16 toy lines.

To be clear about what that number is: 731 are period toys made 1984–2002 (LJN, Hasbro, Jakks, Galoob, OSFTM, Toy Biz) and 240 are modern throwbacks and reissues — Mattel recreating those same era guys in the Coliseum Collection, Monday Night War Elite, the LJN reissue and WWE Retro. It is not 971 vintage figures, and there's a dead zone in the middle where basically nobody was making these.

Some things that fell out of the data:

LJN Series 1 went 9 for 9. Every single figure in the 1984 debut wave is now in the Hall of Fame — André, Big John Studd, Hillbilly Jim, Hogan, Iron Sheik, Snuka, Junkyard Dog, Volkoff, Piper. No other wave in any line is perfect.

The Rock is the most-produced wrestler who isn't in the Hall. 14 figures across Jakks and Monday Night War, still not inducted as of the 2026 class.

ECW is the outlier by a mile:

Toy line	HOF figures	Total	Rate
Toy Biz WCW	157	196	80.1%
Galoob WCW	35	45	77.8%
Hasbro WWF	73	99	73.7%
LJN	48	67	71.6%
Jakks Pacific	142	250	56.8%
OSFTM ECW	7	45	15.6%
Jakks ECW	6	41	14.6%

WCW's Toy Biz run has a higher Hall of Fame rate than LJN, which I did not expect going in. ECW barely registers — RVD, Terry Funk, the Dudleys and Rey Mysterio are basically the whole list.

Most-figured wrestlers overall:

Wrestler	Figures
Hulk Hogan	37
Sting	36
Goldberg	30
Kevin Nash	23
Bret Hart	21
Steve Austin	20
Undertaker	18
DDP	18

The collection covers 133 of roughly 240 total Hall of Fame inductees — about 55% of the Hall has at least one figure. 651 of the 971 figures depict an inductee.

Breakdown:

Promotion	Figures	Lines
WWF / WWE	416	LJN, Hasbro, Jakks Pacific
WCW	270	Galoob, OSFTM, Toy Biz
ECW	96	OSFTM, Jakks, Mattel
Modern throwbacks	189	Coliseum, Monday Night War, LJN reissue, WWE Retro

A few corrections I had to make along the way, in case anyone else is tracking this stuff:

• The Hasbro Demolition 2-pack is Smash & Crush, not Ax & Smash. Ax had left the group by then and only exists as the 1990 Series 1 single. I had it wrong for a while.
• WWE Retro didn't start in 2026 — it launched in 2016 and runs across four separate numbering tracks that each restart. "Retro Series 1" can mean 2016 Undertaker, 2022 Roddy Piper, or 2025 Cody Rhodes depending on which era you're in.
• Wrestling Figure Database dates LJN Series 1 as 1985, but ToyCollectorsGuide, WrestlingToyTracker and CardboardConnection all say 1984. Looks like WFD dates by retail street date rather than launch.
• Mongo McMichael is not in the WWE Hall of Fame. His 2024 induction was the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the 2012 Four Horsemen induction was Flair, Arn, Tully, Windham and J.J. Dillon only.

The full thing is a spreadsheet with every figure, its series and year, HOF status and induction year, and a have/want column. Happy to share the link if people want it — didn't want to lead with it and have this read as an ad.

What I'm still stuck on: I have a Toy Biz WCW Sting listed as a 2001 store exclusive and I cannot substantiate it anywhere. Only 2001 Toy Biz Sting I can find is the Evolution of Sting box set, which wasn't an exclusive. Anyone know if a store-exclusive Sting actually existed?
