This is honestly one of my favorite things to do each year, as I even keep a running list all year long ranking every figure I bought each year. Before I start, I'm not going to get into the debate of what qualifies as a 2017 figure. I don't care what the box says since I open the box anyways. If I got the figure this year and it's not a figure I was playing catch up on, then it's on my 2017 list. You can make your list as you wish, but that's how I do mine.
Figure of the year: TRU Spotlight Finn Balor
Elite line figure of the year: E50 Warlord (E51 Scott Hall runner up)
Exclusive of the year: TRU Spotlight Finn Balor (Target NXT Basic Balor runner up)
Ringside Exclusive of the year: Wolfpac Macho Man (non-demon Balor/DX Shawn Michaels runner up)
PPV Themed figure of the year: Wrestlemania Brutus Beefcake (Summerslam Finn Balor runner up)
Basic line figure of the year: B76 AJ Styles (B74 Kane runner up)
Basic style figure of the year: NXT Finn Balor (TRU Spotlight Sting runner up)
DM of the year: Macho Man Randy Savage
Battle Pack of the year: BP47 Hart Foundation (BP45 DX runner up)
Retro figure of the year: Retro series 2 Sting (retro series 1 Warrior/series 2 Kane runner up)
This year wasn't as strong for me from #1 to last as last year, but this year seems to be more top heavy for me than last year... meaning the 1 through 20 or so are very close for me whereas last year after the first 8 or so kind of dropped off.
What do your lists look like?

Is there a list of all of the figures from 2017 we can reference?? Without looking at a complete list, my picks are:
Defining Moments - Chris Jericho
Toys R Us Spotlight - T. J. Perkins
Maybe I should add the fact that these are the only two figures I bought this year that I kept. The other figures I bought this year I sold and just kept the Championship Title Belt.

Hahaha you only kept two the whole year? Your wallet must be really happy with you! Well, you have to take into consideration that I only really collect the Championship Title Belts. These two are the exception. Chirs Jericho is the Greatest Of All Time, and his Defining Moments figure is his actual defining moment. In fact, this might be my defining moment as a fan as well. T. J. Perkins, just like myself, is Filipino. As far as I know, this is the only figure to sport the colors and designs of the Filipino flag. Trust me, my money is going elsewhere, and my wallet only holds my ID and a credit card and a debit card. HAHA!! |

I remember when they were announcing the participants for the Cruiserweight Classic my pick was TJ solely because he was Filipino. I knew nothing about him but felt the need to support him. I was super excited to see they chose his flag joggers for his figure. |

I was super excited to see they chose his flag joggers for his figure. I was very proud of Batista during his run. I was the only one who cheered for him when he won his 2nd Royal Rumble. The people at the Buffalo Wild Wings I was at looked at me like I was either crazy or just trying to troll them. I knew of T. J. Perkins from his days in TNA. I noticed right away that his ring attire had the Filipino flag's sun and stars. When he won the Cruiserweight Classic, I believe he was WWE Cruiserweight Champion at the same time as DJ Z / Zema Ion was TNA X-Division Champion. That was a very proud moment for me at the time. They would have made a great tag team. Mabuhay Pilipinas!!   |

Was the boogeyman 2017 or 2016? If not him and hall are competing for figure of the year.
Exclusive: I would say then and now Seth Rollins minus the scan.
Ringside collectibles: I would say macho was the best, the hbk has too many flaws imo.

For me Boogeyman was 2016 but that line was the borderline 2016/2017 release so I’m sure someone else will say 2017 for it haha. Totally agree about HBK by the way. That figure was a top 3 want of mine for a few years now and it’s not even in my top 15 of this year alone. I literally HATE that there’s no blue on the X’s. I can get past everything else but the blue made that attire pop |

Is there a list of all of the figures from 2017 we can reference?? I always go by the packaging style... yes, some sets were released last year (and we've already had the new packaging this year) - but I think "officially", that's how Mattel differentiate the years. So basically (for Elites), the 2017 figures would be E46 to E53. |

The fact that E49 Enzo isn't on anyone's list yet is crazy. One of the most well done figures Mattel has ever made.
