Top 50 Hulk Hogan Action Figures

As arguably the most well-known and iconic name in professional wrestling history, Hulk Hogan has had hundreds of action figures commissioned of him over the past 40 years.

 

But which ones are the absolute best?​ Given it's Figure February, we set out to determine which plastic representations of The Hulkster best stand the test of time.

Unlike many other of our Top 50 lists on this site, this ranking of the Top 50 Hulk Hogan Action Figures is completely based on personal preferences and not any scientific criteria. Still, we did manage to establish some ground rules in narrowing things down:

  • How historically iconic is the figure?

  • How much does it look like The Hulkster?

  • Does it represent the Hulk Hogan character?

  • We excluded plushies, buddies, statues, bobbleheads and the like to truly focus on the action figure category. And if a figure was never commercially released or has yet to be... we didn't count it.

​​

Ready? Here we go!

50.

WWF Wrestling Superstars Series 1

The first Hulk Hogan figure in WWF/E history -- released by LJN in 1985 -- certainly isn't the best representation of The Hulkster. In fact, it's so scrawny that it looks like he's doing the opposite of training and taking his vitamins. But in a historical context, the figure is incredibly iconic.

48.

WCW Power Slam

WCW licensee ToyBiz sold many different figures of Hulk Hogan, mostly in his nWo gear. However, the Power Slam line in 2000 showed Hogan return to his memorable red and yellow Hulkamania colors, along with a breakable brick wall that has Sting or Goldberg's face on it.

46.

WWE Draft (SmackDown)

In 2002, Jakks Pacific created a line of figures based on the inaugural WWE Draft, illustrating where each competitor was drafted. Hulk Hogan's figure featured R3 (Real Scan, Real Scale, Real Reaction) technology and made for a unique representation of The Hulkster.

32.

49.

Rocky (Hulk Hogan as Thunderlips)

The same year that Hulk Hogan's LJN figure was released, Phoenix Toys released an articulated version of The Hulkster as part of its Rocky III series of toys. Oddly, the form factor is quite similar to the current line of WWE Superstars figures, showing that some action figures are timeless.
