This Extremely Rare Kamala Action Figure Is Worth A Stunning Amount Today

On History Channel’s “Pawn Stars,” a customer brought in a sealed Hasbro Kamala figure with the yellow crescent moon on the belly to sell for $7500. Wanting to verify the figure’s authenticity, Chumlee, one of the shop’s employees, called in Steve Johnston — owner of Rogue Toys. Upon seeing the figure, Johnston said, “This is a very, very rare and desirable figure in the WWF Hasbro line and maybe in all of wrestling toys. This is going to be a top two or three grail for collectors.”  

Johnston explained Hasbro would run a set of two dozen samples before production and send those samples to the lawyers or head of the brand for final approval, which is where the Kamala moon figures came from. “It is speculated that he (Kamala) didn’t sign off on the final approval of what was being produced by Hasbro, so the actual production figure was kind of a star and they were able to produce it without his okay,” he explained.

After inspection though, the customer’s figure was a fake. The belly of Kamala’s released figure had been repainted and resealed. Also, Johnston noticed price sticker residue on the Hasbro carding, and it was his belief that “this is a figure that would have never actually made it to the floor of a store, so why would it have a price sticker on it?”

How much does an authentic moon belly Kamala figure cost? Matt Cardona, whose passion is collecting wrestling figures, revealed on the “Keepin’ It 100 with Konnan” podcast he spent $11,000 for one.
