Anyone else feel like their collection is almost complete? Dec 22, 2014 22:53:40 GMT -5

This thought has crossed my mind ever since a couple days ago when Hogan arrived in the mail. Does anyone feel like their Legends collection is just about complete? Now don't get me wrong, I won't complain if we can get another 100 legends/flashbacks of different characters in the future. For me, I'd love to get the entire WWF Hasbro roster in Mattel form because that was my era growing up.

But the Hogan figure unquestionably filled the biggest hole in the entire line. To get Hogan and Flair -- the biggest missing pieces up until this year -- along with Razor soon, it feels a lot more complete to me than it ever did before.

Anyone else starting to feel this way? It really hit me when I placed Hogan on the shelf. I hope there's a ton more to look forward to, but for all of our concerns about what would happen after the Legends line was canceled, it turned out to be pretty OK after all ...

Nope. Not even close. There's probably at least 100 classic wrestlers and wrestling personalities I want in figure form which haven't been made or I'm not satisfied with what has been made. Mainly people from WCW 1995-2001, and a good few from WWF 1999-2001 as well.

It's just a shame that Mattel doesn't make Flashbacks/Legends more often, but I guess it's because wrestling in general isn't that popular right now. A lot of the people on my wishlist would be considered too obscure, at least with the current Legends/Flashbacks strategy.

Not even close, I was a kid during the New Generation/Attitude Era so there are so many names I would like to add to my collection before I can consider it complete. Unfortunately, there is one name in particular I sure I won't ever see.

A actual referee!

I could sit here and make a list of 100 guys they could make before I could call my collection anywhere near "complete"

And by the time they were all made, a new crop of guys would be around that Id want figs of.

Maybe "complete" was the wrong word to choose in the title, and I get that on a passionate message board naturally there are going to be a ton of wants. But ever since Hogan, I just feel like we've gotten just about all of the big names out of the way ... if the line had ended before Hogan, Flair and Razor, it would've felt super incomplete. Now, if the line were to end tomorrow, there would be a ton I would personally miss -- Kona Crush, Natural Disasters, Surfer Sting, lots of 80s guys -- but I wouldn't feel like it was severely lacking (like I would have a year ago).

Edit -- Key additions from recent months are all big ones, not filler: Hogan, Flair, LOD, JYD, Luger, debut Mankind ... with Razor and Camo Sgt. Slaughter (a huge correction, in my opinion) on the way

I guess it depends how you look at things. Personally I consider all talents I'm a fan of to be of fairly equal importance in terms of wanting them in my collection. I mostly just think of it in quite black and white terms - either I want their figure or I don't. From the big names to the mid-carders to the jobbers, managers, women, and memorable/goofy gimmicks, they're all part of my memories and each played their part in wrestling history. For example I'd feel disappointed (though not surprised) if Mattel never made a Ralphus or a Kimberly Page, but I would feel the exact same level of disappointment if Mattel never made a Scott Steiner or Sycho Sid. I wouldn't really feel more disappointed not to get a "big name" than I would to not get a "smaller name". I would never think "oh well they made the most important ones, the other guys don't really matter" but that's just me.

No matter how many Legends/Flashbacks Mattel makes, even combined with my Jakks collection and other brand figures, I will always feel my collection is lacking because there's almost certainly always going to be talents on my figure wishlist who they haven't made or I'm not satisfied with what they've made.
