Roy Lucier's Incredible International Wrestling Figure Collection Tour

The Genesis of a Collector

• 💡 Roy Lucier began his collecting journey in December 1984 at age 10 with a complete set of LJN wrestling figures.
• 📌 He transitioned to collecting packaged figures in 1992 when CMLL released official San Francisco toy maker figures, and later expanded to international pieces by flying to Mexico and connecting with private collectors.

Lucha Libre and VHS Archiving

• 🚀 Roy's passion for Lucha Libre stems from growing up near Los Angeles, a hub for the sport, where he attended shows from a young age.
• 📼 He maintains an extensive archive of thousands of VHS tapes from various international wrestling promotions like All Japan, New Japan, and FMW, which he converts to DVD and uploads to YouTube.

Rare Figures and Memorabilia

• 💎 The collection features highly rare items like the Super Luchadores figures, including the signed Vampiro Canadian Buddy, with only a few seen on eBay in 15 years.
• 🌟 Other notable items include signed Mattel figures, rare Hasbro figures like Chris Hero's signed bendy, and a unique WWF vs. AAA vs. UWA event flyer from 1993.

International Wrestling Focus

• 🎯 A significant portion of the collection is dedicated to CMLL HAG figures (2006-2008), which came with DVDs, and various other CMLL merchandise like rings, games, and bobbleheads.
• 📦 The collection also includes Pop! figures, Junk Shop Dog figures, and model kits painted by his mother-in-law, showcasing a wide array of international wrestling memorabilia.

Prized Possessions and Personal Connection

• 🏆 Roy highlights a signed Hulk Hogan figure as potentially the most valuable, noting it's the only signed one he's ever seen.
• 💖 He also cherishes a rare Rey Mysterio Jr. puzzle, which was his first piece of merchandise from the wrestler, obtained in late 1982.
• 🎟️ A significant item is the first ever TripleMania 1993 ticket, which is graded and noted as the only one in its population, featuring a main event of Konnan vs. Cien Caras.
• 🎦 The collection also boasts signed AAA Kellan figures, including Rey Mysterio and Psicosis, with Rey Mysterio signing both sides of his figure, a unique detail he recalls.
