5. Hulk Hogan - Series 3
Cracking the top five is the best Hulk Hogan figure of the entire line, the series three figure featuring the dreaded 'Hulkaplex'. Positioned in a suplex-ready style, the 1992 Hulk Hogan figure was the first to feature a bandanna (instead of a headband) and also beefed up the upper body (more prayers and vitamins). Hogan's third figure featured his "Hulkster Rules" shirt and bandanna, his attire at WrestleMania VIII. The card back also included an iconic image of The Hulkster draped in the American flag, a photo that was taken prior to WrestleMania VII. While the outfit on the figure is different from the one on the card, it doesn't hurt this figure at all. The series one Hogan may represent the most iconic of his early looks, however, it was the third figure that really captured the Immortal One as the way he appeared in the early 90s (while utilizing one of the best body molds Hasbro ever produced).
