Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

In no particular order and based upon what I have (AJ Styles and Asuka will be 2017 for me obviously)
Demon Finn Balor Elite John Cena/Kevin Owens Battle Pack Samoa Joe Elite Neville Elite Kalisto Elite Baron Corbin Vaudevillains Battle Pack Enzo & Cass Battle Pack Tyler Breeze Elite Sami Zayn Elite Bayley Sasha Banks
Looking most forward to in 2017:
AJ Styles Asuka Austin Aries American Alpha Dash & Dawson Apollo Crews Elite Hideo Itami Elite Cruiserweights and of course, my number one waiting for figure in 2017... DM Shinsuke Nakamura

Oh boy, another argument about the dates of figures. Mattel officially goes by the packaging (WWE Magazine posters confirm this), yet people try to argue this

Going by this, 'So for this year, only Elite Series 39 - 45, plus the "lost legends" series would be eligible.'
I assume HOF 2, TNF and Network Spotlight count. I pick...
01. Shockmaster - a joke turned into a great figure 02. Wolfpac Sting - with the coat, it's perfect. 03. HOF Warrior - looks amazing. hope we get it - I'll take the updated Shango too. 04. 'Macho Man' Randy Savage e44 - love this fig. I don't own it yet but it just looks fantastic. 05. DM Ultimate Warrior - regardless of whatever your beef with it's placement is, it's a crazy lookin' figure. 06. Wolfpac Nash - Don't have it. Want it. 07.'Narcissist' Lex Luger - great figure. Plastic cape looks great. The detail on the attire is nice too. 08.'Ravishing'Rick Rude - nothing special of a figure but I love the mullet and aside form the color it looks just like the ljn. Don't like his robe though. 09. Umaga - insane looking fig. Just too tall and doesn't stand. Issues I think Bill just said "F' it" to. That should have been fixed before production, and AT LEAST fixed for the future. Nope. Now Afa and Sika suffer. 10. Network Spotlight Hunter Hearst Helmsley - the schnozz is well re-created, once again.
Lots of great figs otherwise like Hart Foundation, Tugboat, all of HOF II, DM Cena, Balor, Dudleyz, Nasty Boys...

It was advertised almost a year ago

In no particular order
E39 Sting E40 Umaga E41 Terry Funk E41 Finn Balor E44 Tugboat E45 Seth Rollins RSC Kevin Nash Legends Magnum TA HOF Big John Studd Network Shawn Michaels
Biggest letdowns of the year
RSC Jericho (bought) DM Sting (GAB) (bought) DM Cena Network Ringmaster (bought) E41 123 Kid E42 Xavier Woods
Bought 3 of the above but still not at all happy with how Jericho turned out Sting looks horrible too IMO And there's just something off about that head on Ringmaster. Think of Kane every time I look at it

This was harder than I thought. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out. Latest figs I own are E46 Harlem Heat, still waiting for hof4, tnf2, HOF 2 packs,BATB 3 pack. No particular order -Bret Hart e43, Hart Foundation was in my top wants, Anvils arms and messed up eyes (on mine at least) kept him off. Only gripe about Hitman is the painted torso -Booker T e46 -Stevie Ray e46 Just got these for Christmas awesome figures from top to bottom!! Perfection, now I want them in black and in purple. -Narcissist e45 Perfect figure, love the new sculpt. Never had the Hasbro so couldn't wait for this. -Tugboat E44 Mattel knocked this figure out of the park, the parts and the sculpt are spot on. -Hof 3 Jimmy Hart If they never made another Mouth of the South this figure without a doubt captures Jimmy Hart to a T. -DM Ultimate Warrior Alot of people moaned about the DM spot, but this figure is amazing no matter what line it was in. Only gripe is the painted torso. -E44 Macho Man Love the new shirt, pretty cool to have the Ultimate Maniacs in Figure form. -Big John Studd From one of my favorite eras in wrestling, Big John Studd fills in a huge gap in my 85-86 collection. Great looking fig. -TNF Bigelow I have the L5 Bigelow, but this was the era I've been waiting for. Honorable mentions Nasty Boys Spotlight HBK Spotlight HHH HOF Macho King E40 Rick Rude 2 figs that I was really look forward to were 123 kid and GAB Sting. All in all I still like the figures, but they weren't top notch imo. Great year for figures! Thanks MattelDesignTeam

It was advertised almost a year ago hof 2 came out in canada in january so that's why I included it - and well the 2 packs are out so hof 4 must be on it's way. Cross your fingers canadians. It took a LONG time to get those hof 2's out of the stores (mostly).

HOF1 was Warrior, Slaughter, Trish, and Austin. HOF2 was Yoko, Hogan, Tito, and Eddie, and HOF3 was Macho, Dibiase, and Hart.
