Since then he\u2019s had plenty of action figures, trading cards, T-shirts and other merch \u2013 heck, he even has his own breakfast cereal, and how many wrestlers can say that?<\/p>\n<p>With Kingston likely headed to the biggest match of his career at WrestleMania 35, here\u2019s a look at five cool Kofi collectibles.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mattel WWE Elite Series 43. Kofi has had a plethora of action figures over the years, so it\u2019s hard to pick out just one. He had a couple Jakks Pacific figures in 2008 and 2009 to go along with at least nine Mattel Elite figures and dozens of basics. Kofi\u2019s Elite Series 43 figure is a pretty simple one, with blue and white gear and a \u201cReal Mega Dad of the Year\u201d sign. But the face scan on this figure is particularly good, making it one of Kofi\u2019s best figures. You should be able to find one online for under $15.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/1_Elite.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-76734 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/1_Elite.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/1_Elite.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/1_Elite-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/1_Elite-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/1_Elite-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>2018 Topps WWE Undisputed Autographs. Kofi has been appearing on Topps WWE trading cards for more than a decade, dating back to his 2008 WWE Heritage IV and the UK-exclusive 2008 WWE Slam Attax. He has plenty of certified autographs, many of which can be found for under $10. Undisputed is the most popular WWE product among most collectors: it\u2019s got a mid-range price point, the autographs are on-card and the designs are clean and attractive. Kofi\u2019s signature from 2018 Undisputed can usually be found for under $10, depending on the color variation and serial numbering.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/2_Undisputed_purple.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-76735 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/2_Undisputed_purple.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/2_Undisputed_purple.png 348w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/2_Undisputed_purple-218x300.png 218w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Booty-O\u2019s Breakfast Cereal. A few years ago, Kofi, Big E and Xavier Woods were on TV urging fans to eat their \u201cBooty-O\u2019s,\u201d a fictitious breakfast cereal with a New Day theme. It wasn\u2019t long until WWE actually churned out boxes of Booty-O\u2019s, selling them at live events, online and at retailers like FYE. There have been a few different designs and flavors, but the original Booty-O\u2019s in the blue box remain the most popular with fans. A sealed box typically sells in the $20-$30 range.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/3_cereal_b.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-76738 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/3_cereal_b.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/3_cereal_b.png 353w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/3_cereal_b-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Funko Pop Vinyl WWE. The bobblehead-esque Pop Vinyl figures have exploded in popularity over the last five years, with characters from just about every movie, TV show, video game and sport imaginable. Kofi has a cool Pop Vinyl figure decked out in white New Day gear, which usually sells for around $10.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/4_Pop_Vinyl.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-76739 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/4_Pop_Vinyl.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/4_Pop_Vinyl.png 359w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/4_Pop_Vinyl-300x231.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>C3 Toys WWE Stackdown Ladder Match Playset. The WWE LEGO knockoffs from C3 Toys never quite took off like some thought they might, but there are still some pretty cool figures and sets out there. Among those is the \u201cKofi Kingston\u2019s Ladder Match\u201d playset, which includes a minifigure of Kofi, a tiny Intercontinental Title belt and bricks to build a ladder and other accessories. The playset usually sells for less than $15. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/5_Stack.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76740 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/5_Stack.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/5_Stack.jpeg 598w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/03\/5_Stack-280x300.jpeg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THE PRIOR COLUMN:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/03\/06\/collectibles-column-figures-and-trading-cards-of-king-kong-bundy\/\">COLLECTIBLES COLUMN: Figures and Trading Cards of King Kong Bundy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Michael Moore is a writer and collector living in Casper, WY.
