Q: Matt Cardona, in the Hasbros, do you collect the bio card variants of Bossman, Akeem, or Ultimate Warrior or the series one five and ups?
Cardona: "No, I don't. I gets too complicated with the boxes. I have one of every guy in the box. I don't count the card variants. I know that they exist, but I don't do it. I may one day get like the Warrior one, and I think there is like a Macho Man one, but never say never right. As of right now, I'm not looking for the ones that say Twin Towers and stuff like that."
The WWF Hasbro line was a popular toy line in the early-mid 1990's. It consisted of 11 series and was the reason collectors saw the WWE Retro line from Mattel. The Hasbro line is among favorites for collectors like Matt Cardona.
During the first series, Big Bossman, Akeem, and Ultimate Warrior's bio card was changed in the middle of the first run. The first series also saw a change in age, from "5 and up" to "4 and up."
