I buy doubles of pretty much every figure, which is not entirely overboard considering that I only collect ECW originals, NWA guys, and a certain few older WWE and WCW guys. I have 3 Rubbermade drawers full of figures. Top drawer is where I keep the commonly used/battle tested figures, which are ones that I'm not afraid to beat up or play with. Middle drawer is for accessories and figures that I don't use too much of. I also throw some of my limbless ones in middle that were used for custom or part swaps. The bottom drawer is where I keep the gems hidden. The most I have of any one figure would be 3 of the elite RVD. He is a favorite of mine and it was difficult to find one with a good paint job. Anyway, I'm just curious in case anyone would care to comment, thanks.

I don't have any doubles yet. But I will. Starting with RSC Jericho, when I get it that is. One for loose/display, one for MOC/display.

Give them away.
I have the Matty Exclusive Andre, and when I picked up the Heenan Family box I ended up with an extra Andre that was inferior to that one. So its getting shipped out to my friend. Once I pick up all three Elite versions of New Day, the Basics that I have will be on a one way flight to Chicago.
I only keep one copy of the figure I want, and the version(s) I want.

I have any one version of any flashback/legend that I want loose for my son to play with.
I have one favorite version of a favorite wrestler Moc for me. And when a new better version comes out, I sell the other.
(Example: I had legends mr perfect and e29 Andre Moc. When the heenan family was announced, I sold mr perfect for $70 and gave the Andre away to my nephew)

I don't buy doubles, the only time I considered it was when I got Elite 30 Batista backwards, it would of been my first MOC figure. I don't get doubles as I collect current, some legends and NXT and so I couldn't afford to buy doubles, also always has a voice my head thinking say for example I could get another Elite 38 Reigns or that money could be spent on Elite Umaga. I also can't afford because I buy Logo Star Wars, LotR and Hobbit. If I could afford it (which I would love to be able to do) I would probably keep them MOC or open them to custom or fix up. Good topic for a thread, very interesting  |

I only buy doubles of wrestlers I like, I currently own a pair of Elite Seth Roillins (both the latest Elite & Seth Cashes In) and Dean Ambrose (the Elite with the hooded jacket & kendo stick). I typically keep one MOC & one loose.

I buy figures to display loose. I try to buy only 1 of each with a few exceptions. If I'm buying a double of somebody then I will display it. If a multipack forces me to buy a double then I will try to figure out how to work them into my display or get rid of them.

I try and change one and use it for "play." For example I have 2 of the black pants Rollins, and on one version I added hands, and took off the gloves. I also have 2 of the TRU Cena, and for one I added plain black kneepads and arms with plan black wrist bands. Try to change them so they stand out a little.

I keep them as back up if my main one breaks or customs.

I have never had the desire to buy doubles of a figure unless I was going to use it for parts.

The true answer is that most of them scalp or "help out their friends"  Personally, I think buying more than two of a figure is just obnoxious. But at the same time, it's their money (hopefully not their parents). I just feel bad for kids who go to the store with their parents and don't find what they're looking for because some guy bought 5-6 of one figure. Just ridiculous. |

I wanted to get a second Demon Balor to keep MOC but my wife said no. We don't buy duplicates. Or as we say around here, "No dupes!"

The only time I've bought doubles was for making Hogan customs we will never get. It's glotony when people clean house when a new figure or series comes out. |

I put 'em on the Bay after I get [so many]. Some guys necessitate multiple looks (Macho Man/King, Warrior, Sting, etc.) but for 90% only one version is enough.

I buy doubles, typical 1 MOC 1 loose but this is a habit I'm trying to break away from since I'm starting to feel over crowded with figures. That new spotlight HBK didnt help though. I did get 2 to do the same and left the others. Doing customs doesn't help this habit either.
