I figured out why I personally dont buy mattel wwe

I collect Jakks UFC guys, anyone i like, or if thier fig looks cool

I also Collect DA's. I pick and choose guys who I was a big fan of (so a lot of wcw guys and atitude era guys), or who I want to use in my pic fed

i'm a lot more selective than I used to be

I went with the DA's because i want sting, and aj, and i like having them the same style as my ufc figs

also, I am familer with jakks bodies for customs

Mattel has great figs, but these are the reasons i went with Jakks

I only collect Jakks classics. I suspect that will continue with the LOTR line and maybe some TNA that would fit in with the line.

I just can't get into Mattel. Nothing against those who like them but I think the seem too skinny, too cartoonish and do not appeal to me. I can't even get excited for the Mattel CS line. I honestly don't know if I will get any of them.

I collect jakks classic superstars i hope to one day have all of them.I will be collecting the LOTR series and most likely the mattel classic line.As for RA,DA i only get who i like or who i think looks cool.

I collect RA figs mainly (250+).

I got into Mattel, but just basics.

I also have about 20 DAs, and I love them, so I don't see the point in getting Mattel Elites.

Personally I'm really unimpressed with the Metal figures. The faces just look very poorly done. Its probably at least as much pant work as sculpting. I guess I'm just fine taking this as a reason to stop collecting. I've amassed a huge collection I feel like I'll never do anything with. Why try to start over with a whole new style of figure, I guess. I'm waiting for a Chris Jericho elite to at least sample and I'll probably pick up some TNA figures, but I'm fine saving my money at this point. I've collected for over 10 years and have WAY too many figures for my own good. All loose and some in deteriorating condition just from storage, too. I have no clue when I'll be in a position to organize and display them the way I'd like. My best hope is that Mattel will make a ring or playset that I'll like that would work with Jakks figures.

I mostly collect RA, I loved DA but got over them after a while, I tried having them by brand but it got to crowded, now I only display my Mattel figures, nothing aganst JAKKS just moving on...

I buy whats looks good to be honest.

so far I have only 1 Mattel figure and that because Im a mark for Austin.my next Mattel purchases may be Legends 1.just not that into them.

I notiiced many of the Mattel headsculpts are redo's or copied from old Jakk's sculpts.

Their CM punk & deluxe(Elite?) Edge strikingly so. As well as their HHH.

I think they went 20 to 30 years backwards as far as quality goes compared to anything Jakk's produces.

You just can't beat a real scan figure. I've been buying Jakks since 1996.

Not one mattel figure has made me go,"oh I gotta get that!'

I may get the Ricky Steamboat though & the Rick Rude. simply because they've never really been done properly in any figure form.
