How to Select Wrestling Action Figures

Select Wrestling Action Figures

• 1

  Consider whether you want to purchase wrestling action figures for fun or to add to an existing collection. This may influence the action figures you select, as many modern collectibles are non-poseable.

• 2

  Take the age of the recipient into consideration before you make a purchase. Some wrestling action figures are unsuitable for small children due to small accessories included in the packaging. Furthermore, some of the wresting figures may frighten young children.

• 3

  Decide whether you want licensed or unlicensed products. Licensed action figures are more expensive and are more likely to end up as collectibles. Unlicensed products are inexpensive and are often constructed from lower quality materials.

• 4

  Become familiar with wrestling personalities of the past and present to help you select appropriate action figures. When you are unfamiliar with the sport of wrestling, it can be difficult to keep all of the various wrestlers, and their associated action figures, organized.

• 5

  Look for used and vintage wrestling action figures with a high "C" rating. Certain collectibles are given a "C" rating to describe their current condition. The scale is from one to 10, with a rating of C10 implying a rare item in pristine condition.

• 6

  Check specialty or vintage stores frequently for new wrestling action figures. While toy stores are a great place to pick up the latest wrestling toys, specialty and vintage shops are a viable alternative when you're looking for a bit of nostalgia.
