I think so many people like them because they are kinda like a modern day twist on the hasbro line , why do you collect them ?
(as of yet i havent collected a single rumbler but i may grab a punk)

One of the main reasons that I love them is because they are cheap to buy. I just started collecting figures this year after watching wrestling all my life (I'm 30) and I found them really affordable. And I think they look cool. There is just something about them that I love. I have all of them except for Del Rio and Drew which I'm planning to get later this month. I really don't care about the accessories. I may buy a ring 1 day if I find one really cheap. What I really want is title belts for them. That will be cool. I have also started collecting Hasbro.

i dont....there is little/no detail to them, there's barely a likeness to the actual characters, no legends, too many repaints, and they just plain look stupid. i'll stick to the legends line and elite figures, as if i'm spending my money, i want quality, not quantity

I get them because I really like the style. They are relatively cheap so I am more than happy to get all of the accessories and paint variants. And it was just a natural like for me since my favorite lines are DC Action League, Superhero Squad and Galactic Heroes.

It's a good change of pace. Not everything has to be photo-realistic with 30 points of articulation.
BTW, not sure if this was mentioned but I saw repacked singles at Big Lots. I can't remember who they had

Cheap and they don't take up much space when displayed are the main reason.

I'm generally a big fan of smaller figures (I have a lot of Jakks Micros and Build and Brawls) because a collection takes up so little space. And the Rumblers are just so cool-looking, I love the caricatured looks. I still need to get:
Goldust/Kofi two-pack
Barrett/Cena two-pack (haven't seen this one in stores yet)
Mysterio/Big Show two-pack (haven't seen this one in stores yet)
Khali/Hornswoggle two-pack (haven't seen this one in stores yet)
Transforming rig
Cage and Ring set (I do have the cage and ring already but I want to get the special set for the title belt and the exclusive Rey and updated Cena)
Titantron Tower
The Miz accessory pack
Randy Orton accessory pack
Edge accessory pack (none of the accessory packs have been released here after the Undertaker and Morrison ones)
Question for fellow Rumblers collectors: I've seen a Morrison Rumbler on Ebay with black tights and red boot cuffs/designs. Anyone know where it's from? As the current series has Morrison in his current look, it doesn't seem like anymore with the cuffs will be released.

I believe the red Morrison is in series 2 of the Rumblers singles.

I like that they are animated/cartoony and that they are little.

Cheap. Fun. Don't take up much space. Not into wrestling as much as I used to be, so not going to spend $90 on a set of six elite figures, but a Rumbler here and there works for me. I could do without the accessories/playsets/etc going forward and stick with just the figures though, and I'd love to see some Legends Rumblers.

My girlfriend thinks they are cute and thats why she collects them... They are cool and a cheap alternative to the main figs
Plus the cartooney look really works for them I think and hey if my woman wants to collect along side me thats cool

Ive never really thought of buying them until now , realising how small they are means how quickly they can get lost . And in my house dont think the rumblers will last being so small i'll play with them and lose them somewhere .

I hope to start a collection soon. They are small, easy to display, cheap, and are just something different. The only thing in recent years we've had close to the hasbro line has been the WWE Viynl Aggression. The WWE Rumblers are just so fun!

I loved the line after the first series but the repeat wrestlers in it has killed all interest I had in the line.

I just love animated styled figures and these fit that style
