This thread is obviously for your top 10 WWE figures of the year. Had to be bought this year of course if ringside got them in December of 2015 they still count for this year..thats how I'll rule it.
Here we go:
10. Elite 40 John Cena - This has been my favorite attire hes worn in awhile liked the light blue/black scheme. Updated US title and was based on a period where he was putting on matches of the night with everyone and anyone who came out for the US open challenge.
9. Elite 43 Samoa Joe - Great debut figure for this man in his classic look came with towel and cloth shirt. Not much more to ask for. New tooling went in for him..not much more to ask for.
8. Elite 43 Kofi Kingston - Amazing headscuplt on this figure. Probably the best Kofi head ever. Plus was his first updated elite since elite 27!
7. Elite 44 Big E - Same as Kofi with an amazing headsculpt.
6. Then Now Forever Tyler Breeze - Awesome accessories great color scheme this figure just pops on the shelf.
5. Elite 42 Xavier Woods - My favorite of the new day trio. Came with the best accessories and has the best attire of the 3.
4. Elite 42 Neville - Something about this figure always catches my attention it just looks so good with that awesome cape, very cool purple attire and a great headscuplt to top it off.
3. Elite 40 Sami Zayn - One of the first figures I got in 2016 and it set the bar high and only 2 figures beat it out with one being one I got the same day with him. Came with the NXT title and a very cool attire.
2. Network Spotlight Bayley - This is probably the best female headsculpt mattel has done. And the attire is so good based off the best match of 2015.
1. Elite 41 Finn Balor - Got this guy back in January with Sami on the same day and they set the bar high with only Bayley barely beating out Sami. But Finn here is just incredible. Love all the detail on him its truly one of mattels best looking figures.

Everyone who has been saying that they go by when Ringside gets them means they can't include Elite Sami since Ringside was selling them November 28, 2015. This is why you gotta go by the packaging. |

This is why you gotta go by the packaging. ...plus, Mattel themselves always go by the packaging design - look at those figure posters that WWE Magazine used to have... all the figures released in the similar packaging design were called that year's figures (eg. "the 2012 collection" etc.). So for this year, only Elite Series 39 - 45, plus the "lost legends" series would be eligible. |

E47 Asuka-So colorful, so many unique parts, no kimono, but they did the best they could afford to.
NS Shawn Michaels-Much requested figure, the tiger stripe paint apps are amazing, no kneepads and medium ladder are disappointing, but it's too nostalgic to me to not be one of my favorites.
E47.5 Goldust-Much requested figure, has every necessary accessory you could hope for, perfectly executed.
NS Bayley-See Goldust
E46 Harlem Heat- Dead on scans, 2 hat accessories, and glasses make them so good, if they could never make them again, these would be just fine.
SDCC Shockmaster-Complete surprise, excellent packaging idea, and the costume is as close as you can get without getting sued by the mouse.
E46 Finn Balor-Takes E41 Balor and turns up the volume on the paint details.
B61 Natalya-An excellently executed Basic with the tooling effort of an Elite figure.
E45 Regal-Much requested figure, with an excellent likeness and entrance gear.
New Day Elite 3 pack-The figures come with accessories, in the accessory, and at $50 it was a bargain, before TRU fluffed up the price to $60.
Runners Up-Becky, Elite Ultimate Maniacs, Narcissist, Dusty, Bulldog, Duggan, Honky Tonk Man, Terry Funk, Bam Bam, 123 Kid, Lita, and Tugboat.

If I bought in calendar year 2016 I count it towards this year. IDGAF what rules anyone else uses, this is my list:
DM Ultimate Warrior
E45 Seth Rollins
E46 Finn Balor
E41 Finn Balor
HOF3 Macho King
DM GAB Sting
TNF 2pack Ultimate Warrior
HOF WM8 Ultimate Warrior
E43 Hart Foundation
E44 Macho Man
Narcissist Luger is so close, honestly Luger, HF and Macho are all pretty interchangeable for me.

Me and @heroesandmartyrs are pals so I'm out of this one 😉 Go by your own rules lol. I was just trying to make it easier for folk who didn't get the figures off here in dec 2015 and waited for retail. But if some did get them in dec 2015 they can still include them on their list if they want to. |

But if some did get them in dec 2015 they can still include them on their list if they want to. C'mon, I think you're f***ing with me now. You named figures that were bought in November 2015 and you're naming figures that Ringside have received early in November/December 2016, you're going at least fourteen months in your best of 2016 list? You're purposely extended your list to include all of the 2016 packaging since Ringside doesn't follow conventional retail dates and because their 2017 figures have bumped them out of alignment, but you won't exclude the 2017 figures only because you want to include them? This is why I'm going insane. JESUS, TAKE THE WHEEL. |
