In 1984, WWE released their first action figure line through their manufacturer, LJN. While the figures would be a huge financial success, they certainly left a lot to be desired. Regardless, LJN pumped out WWE figures until 1988. The funny thing about the WWE LJN figures is that nobody calls them by the correct name. They're always referred to as "LJN's" when in reality they're "Wrestling Superstars" figures.

LJN was simply the manufacturer. This is important because, in 1989, the final WWE Wrestling Superstars series came out. Those figures, however, weren't manufactured by LJN. The final Black Card series of Wrestling Superstars was produced by Grand Toys and featured the first WWE Ultimate Warrior figure. Truthfully, it's a brick but it's covered by many collectors. Especially mint on card.

4 Hasbro Series 3 Ultimate Warrior

After LJN helped put WWE action figures on the map, the company decided to upgrade their action figures heading into the 90s. This resulted in WWE partnering with Hasbro as their new toy manufacturer. Although the Hasbro line wasn't perfect, it was a massive improvement over the LJN figures.

The Hasbro figures had limited articulation but that was an improvement over the zero articulation that the LJN figures featured. This Series 3 Hasbro Ultimate Warrior is among the best WWE Hasbro figures ever produced. It featured Warrior in his less common yellow and purple attire. It also featured an updated body mold that made the figure look jacked.

This classic moment in Warrior's career has been captured in action figures from various times throughout the years by both Jakks Pacific and Mattel. Mattel themselves have released two Elite figures based on this match.

In 2022 though, Mattel released an updated Amazon Exclusive Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Ultimate Warrior.

This 1 of 15 exclusive features Warrior in the same gear he wore for the WWE 2K14 commercial he was a part of. It includes a great soft goods duster and has an incredible likeness to an older Warrior. At the time of their release, Warrior was charging $2,000 for one of these figures. It's fair to imagine that price has gone up since then.

1 Mattel Ultimate Edition Series 1 Ultimate Warrior

Mattel's Elite WWE line has been the standard for pro wrestling action figures since the first Elite figures were released in 2010. In 2019 though, Mattel took upped their game when they introduced their Ultimate Edition WWE line. These figures featured significantly more articulation than the Elite figures and were usually loaded with accessories.

The first series of Mattel's WWE Ultimate Edition line featured Ronda Rousey and a WCW-era Ultimate Warrior. While the Rousey figure was solid, the Warrior figure was excellent. It didn't come with as many accessories as future Ultimate Edition figures would but it didn't need them. This Halloween Havoc 1998-inspired Warrior was a home run. As soon as this figure disappeared from retailers its aftermarket price understandably skyrocketed. It may truly be the perfect Ultimate Warrior figure.
