I'd say most of the short-packed FBs or particularly iconic, special modern day attires (like E16 Punk, perhaps). If they never make another version of someone like Yokozuna, Diesel or Kamala, there's going to be an increased interest in them, especially since the further we head into the future, the less marketable the older legends are going to be. They've had trouble selling major 80s stars - that means they'll likely never get made again by Mattel, which means anyone who has a soft spot for that time period will be more prone to pay big bucks for them.
I don't think the Basics will retain any value at all. Maybe a couple of them - say, that WM26 HBK in his very last wrestling gear that was sold for a short time as an exclusive to TRU. I could see that one being one to hang onto.

I'd almost say that last wave of Legends that had Eddie Guerrero and Ultimate Warrior in it, not just for their belts but because of how that wave barely made it to retail (only saw it at TRU and then again online at Ringside), since that will probably be the only time we'll see Eddie in Elite form (barring a Flashback mullet release) along with the Undisputed belt (also barring we'll get a re-release in shiny form with a FB Brock Lesnar) and that's the Warrior from WMVI with the winged eagle

RSC exclusives? Try getting a Jakks RSC Tribute to Stone Cold, or Classics Hardy's 2pack for cheap |

Perhaps, and I am saying perhaps, each nr. 1 figure from the 1/1000 figures that came with the belts.
Plus perhaps the odd ones like nr. 316 for SCSA, nr. 666 for Kane and nr. 619 for Rey.

Most likely none of them. Very few post 80s figures retain their value because so many people collect now. In ten years you will be lucky to get what you paid. I totally agree! Mattel figures are simply too mass produced, meaning there will be no real rare figures in the futures. Perhaps if they did a 1/100 line like Jakks did, than maybe those kind of figures. Fair Point! |

If you are collecting figures to hope they rise in value in years you are wasting your time and money in this hobby. As for what figures will be the most sought after in ten years it'll be all the pegwarmers, because nobody buys them now. So eventually they'll vanish into little kids hands nd will be the figures collectors can't find anywhere in good condition. It's been that way with every line I've ever collected going back to my old Mego figures.

I think the items that will go up in price over the next ten years will mainly be the rings, playsets, diva's, and the not so popular wrestlers like Shelton Benjamine and Hornswoggle.

Action figures from the mid-'90s through today hold value like a wicker basket holds water. The main Mattel item I can see holding any kind of after-market value to speak of is the Elite Scale Ring. |

I think most of you will be surprised how much Mattel's figures will go for in 10 years.......this is Mattel not Jakks!

Probably the exclusives and maybe the Savage figs just because these are his first in so long. I'd venture to say the TNA Jakks line will have more value just because there will be less of them. Just a guess.

especially if mattel loses the WWE contract, think about how expensive certain jakks were, you can get alot of the CS figures on ebay for next to nothing if you look hard enough
