The title pretty much says it all. I was completely against the Flexforce line, until I picked up the CM Punk Smash Scenes figure. Then yesterday, I was at Kmart looking at the figs. It just hit me how much more I like the Flexforce figures than the basic/elites. That being said, I still love those lines; but FlexForces look pretty great for display purposes, and tend to catch the people I really wanna buy, the way I want to buy them.
Am I alone on this?
(Picked up Flip Kickin' Shawn Michaels, and Flip Kickin' Rey Mysterio (red pants/mask) yesterday.)

Some people on here collect them but only if they're of figures they get everyone of, like Chip gets the Flex Force CM Punk figures seeing as he gets all the CM Punk ones.

Well i sure don't, i think its a waste of money with the limited articulation and lack of detail...what also bugs me is that it stays in the same pose forever aside from the action feature yet they cost as much as a basic...but if you enjoy the line thats great, somebodies gotta like it lol

I have quite a few flex force figures I got all the CM Punks, Sheamus, John Cena. They remind of a throwback to the Hasbro days

I've bought a number of flex force figures, but they were for my three year old nephew. He really likes them though, more so than the three or four basic figures he has. I display only, so not being able to pose the figures makes me have no desire for them.

No you aren't i actually collect them also. Im mainly trying to get at least one of each person. But then if im at a store and they don't have anything else i want i might pick up a couple of repaints the only exceptions being i usually get every CM Punk & John Morrison that they have released in flex force form.

Nobody collects Flex Force, this has to be an April's Fools joke.

I've got about 20 of them. Most of which are CM Punks.

I don't even think kids get them, there's always so many in stores. I wish they would cancel them and include the accessories with basics. I considered getting a flex force Sheamus because it was his debut figure, but that's as close as I've come to getting one.

The only Flex Force I owned was Matt Hardy that came w/accessories. I didn't like the figure at all and ended up selling it for a few bucks on ebay after a while. I don't collect the line and probably never will, in fact I despise it's existence since it takes focus away from the Basic line. I curse the day when a store has no basics but is loaded with Flex Force LOL

I have two of every action feature, since some of the action features on their ring playsets are kickass. Still waiting for that new Morrison to come out.

I've hated figures with actions like that since I was a kid. If they were more specific to each wrestler they would be cool, but Mattel can't make specific mechanisms for each wrestler so...

Nobody collects Flex Force, this has to be an April's Fools joke. I think you right. I got a couple of Reys as I collect Reys (he's not a fav but nice colourful attires help) and a R-Truth to see if the head was better than the elite. Only have one of the Reys as the yellow/black ones coming in PPV and the R-Truth I sold to my bro (the head was'nt as good).

I have the Jericho, Edge and the 2 HBK Flex Force figures, just because I collect the action figures of those 3 guys. They aren't the greatest figures, I can agree with that, but I think they were probably directed more for kids to play with. I don't think they should be taken off the market though, I feel they do have a place in the figure selection. They are kind of like the old school Hasbro style figures, and they were a hit and still are.

Another reason not to like them is that theyr open. Everyone can touch them.

I only have the Orton with red on trunks and the Miz in red. I tried them out on a WalMart sale back in November and they're ok. Even as a kid I didn't care for figures that had a lot of motion. I've actually started liking the Rumblers and have 9 of those now.
