So I started out collecting Elites, now I'm back filling Legends. In six months I have built quite a collection although still incomplete.
Here's the question... How many of you collect the females also? How many hand pick certain females?
I decided to not to collect them but have picked up a few.. Stephanie McMahon, Elizabeth(white outfit).

With very few exceptions (AJ Lee, the first Stephanie) Elite women come with either essential accessories for the character or a vac belt you aren't going to get anywhere else, in addition to unique sculpting and more detailed deco. Almost every Elite female has debuted a new headsculpt (for better or worse....) I find them very much worth it and the argument that they are "just basics at an Elite pricepoint" ridiculous.

I will only buy legends elite women managers. Oh, and Chyna. The only two women's figs I own currently are the first Miss Elizabeth and the first Stephanie McMahon (bought for my daughter).
I will buy every elite Sherri they make if Mattel ever get their act together and give her the proper respect by representing her in the line.
The only others I'd buy are Debra, Jacqueline, Kimberly, Marlena, sunny, sable, woman and of course Chyna.

Only the Four Horsewomen for me. Waiting on Charlotte with robe and different Becky.
Also might pick up elite 34 Paige with 2 belts and elite 21 AJ Lee in green plaid at some point. Those figures look great.

I wish elite women actually had elite articulation. Only Liz gets double knees and no one has a double wrist

I'm picky when it comes to my collection. I usually stick with pre Attitude era, but for females I also picked up Lita and Trish Stratus because I liked a lot of the work they did.I liked Mickie James and her feud with Trish so I would like to have a Mickie James in the collection but I didn't like the first Mattel release of her. Only other ones past the Attitude era I would get would be Victoria, Molly Holly, and Sable. Tons of pre-attitude I would like to see made though.

I dont understand why buying female figures is such an issue for some. Buy who you like. Some people act like theres a difference in buying little plastic women opposed to men. Its all weird, just do you.

I don't collect them faithfully but I do collect them. It usually depends on the specific figure for me. I know people complain that with the women, there is no difference between basics/Elites, but I'll bring up the Asuka Elite for reference. That's one of the best figures Mattel has released in the last few years. They knocked that out of the park.

I only have 1 female figure, the first elite AJ Lee. Just don't buy a lot of figures overall, but I really liked the look of that one. Probably gonna start picking up some more though, Asuka, Ember and whatnot.

I own about 90% of the female figures out (Jakks, Mattel, LJN, Remco...all of it)
I buy them if I like them or not. I hate Sasha Banks but I do own most of her figures. I also hated AJ Lee but the only one I don't have is the Walmart exclusive.
To me, there is nothing special about Elite females. Sure the accessories are decent, sans the awful rubber jackets! So really, I'd be fine with Elite being an all male series. Asuka is probably the best female Elite made.
All in all, I'm really digging the Superstars dolls. You know, the ones no one can discuss maturely on here. They are superior to most female Elite figures. For the same price, you get a 12 inch figure with extra clothing and accessories.

Ive bought almost all the divas made. I think Im missing the all white & all green set of the Bella twins and the last 2 Lanas. I dont mind paying extra for an Elite female as long as there's something that makes it elite. High deco, accessories....something. Dont slap a basic in an elite box and try to charge me double.

I don't own a lot of women elite but that's because I collect mostly FB. I do have Asuka which is an awesome figure but being a woman elite doesn't deter my purchases. Just get who I want.

I try to get everyone. Women were easier to justify because they used to be rare additions to the lineup, so finding one felt more special. They're harder to play with, but I'd rather have them than not.
I'll typically stick to a basic over elite if it's the same person. The only exception is if belts are included.
