Action figures have been popular for decades now. Whether it is younger children playing with the figures or older people collecting them, there is just something about a scaled down figure that will always remain popular. One of the most popular action figures are the superstars from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Since the 1980s WWE Figure have graced store shelves and continue to today including the very popular Jakks Classic Series.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Some Classic Series figures can sell online for double, or even triple their retail value, but searching some stores and you could find that figure at a much cheaper price. Just because one Wal-Mart does not have a figure does not mean that the rest will not. Check multiple Wal-Marts and always check the clearance section, because sometimes older figures that have gone up in value can tend to be tucked away there.

  2. Step 2

    Many stores will also carry exclusives that can be raised for a lot higher amount when they are sold online. The stores with the most exclusives are Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and Toys R Us. Toys R Us usually features the tag team two-packs and Wal-Mart has exclusive three packs like the Jimmy Hart, Brutus “the Barber” Beefcake, and Hulk Hogan 3-Pack.

  3. Step 3

    Depending on how you want your figures, EBay is a great source for figures, along with all other WWE merchandise. If you open the packages of your figures, then EBay is probably one of the best sites to get them all at because loose figures can sell for as low as a dollar plus shipping. Many loose figures are packed together, so you could possibly get a John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and Vince McMahon figure for fewer than ten dollars for the whole package. Some users even customize the action figures, like turning the 1-2-3 Kid into an Owen Hart figure, making for a unique and one of a kind collector’s item.

  4. Step 4

    You cannot buy the figures straight through Jakks Pacific but many online retailers carry them for the same prices as Wal-Mart and other stores. Some of the best sites to find these figures at are one that dedicated solely to selling action figures.

  5. Step 5

    There are many festivals throughout the year that are dedicated to toys, action figures, and other collectibles and this is one of the biggest hotspots for action figures. Whether you are buying exclusively made figures, trading with other people attending, or there just to enjoy the figures, there is a lot to find at these festivals, at many great prices.
