So I recently moved and, in doing so, I've finally got some space to put in more display shelves and really expand what I've got on display. One of the first things I did was try to build a full fledged NXT display.
That said, am I missing / not thinking of anyone obvious to you guys? I'm trying to limit it to Elite style articulation. The only two I can think of for sure is Charlotte (still need to track down her first basic) and Adam Rose (still trying to figure out if the basic head with the better scan will look okay swapped on to the Elite). I'll probably swap the newer Asuka into the NXT display and out of my Women's Division display once they release another Elite of her. I know Swann competed in NXT at least once or twice but for now the cruiser shelf can't really spare to lose anyone. :-p
I've left at least a couple gaps for stuff we know is upcoming (AOP and Ellering, DIY, Black). I hope the NXT wave lasts for a good long while because I still really want a trunks Ambrose, NXT Champion Big E Langston, NXT era Ascension, NXT era Lucha Dragons, "Facts" attire Tyson Kidd, and (if they can finally work things out with him) a proper NXT champion Adrian Neville rather than my poorly disguised Mighty Mouse version, haha.
Also, I'm having custom robes done for both Asuka and Eva. I'll update when I finally have those.

Big E is the one that stands out. I don't know if any of his figures are nxt accurate, but since he was nxt champ he seems important.

Yah, I may eventually break down and just get one of his early Elites to put in there. Neither is accurate from what I can tell (his singlet legs reached the mid thigh in NXT like they do now while both Elites have a brief-style cut). Given that he's still under contract and getting a regular push he seems like he might be a pretty safe bet as the Flashback figure for Series 5 or 6 (along with either a trunks version of Dean Ambrose or pre-Bolieve Dallas).

Ah! How could I forget about him! He's one of my favorites too! Thinking about it, he'll probably be taking Aries' place so that Aries can slip back over to the cruiserweight shelf.

Love the display! It's great to see how much nXt has actually been produced for the line all in one spot.
I noticed you have the E43 Samoa Joe t-shirt on the E56, was the new one that came with yours also extra small and not able to fit Joe?

What bookshelves are those? Ikea's Billy series (the black-brown color specifically). I like 'em a lot for display purposes. You can build a whole wall of them and they look nice and uniform.

I noticed you have the E43 Samoa Joe t-shirt on the E56, was the new one that came with yours also extra small and not able to fit Joe? I'll confess I didn't even try.  I just liked this head scan WAY better so I immediately took the NXT era shirt off and put it on the new figure. I can try to put it on one of my older Joe figures tonight though! Speaking of cloth shirts, I'm super happy Roman came with a cloth tee because I'd had the plastic NXT shirt that came with Apollo on Neville and it looked...not amazing. :-p |

I'm just curious if the whole run was done that way or if they caught it and fixed it. |

Vaudevillains - Ugh, I wish so much they'd done Elite versions. I loved them in NXT.
Big E Langston - Like I said, I may eventually just do the original Elite release but I'm hoping he gets Flashbacked in the NXT line soon.
Lucha Dragons - I'm torn on them. I have the elites but the Kalisto is...not good. He's SO tall. If they redid them as NXT flashbacks I'd get them for sure.
Billie Kay - I...don't honestly love the new basic articulation. I'm fine if others do but it's not for me. That said, if she gets an elite with her cape then yes absolutely.
Roderick Strong - See above.
Xavier Woods - Would definitely buy his "Call My Momma" era NXT attire as an Elite.
DIY - Plan on getting the NXT Series 4 / Hall of Champions (wherever they wind up) Elites.
Authors of Pain - Plan on getting the Elite 62 elites. I hope it's the black attire and skull masks and not the green attire from War Games.
Hideo Itami - It blows my mind that he hasn't had an Elite yet. He'll be an instabuy for me when he does.
Antonio Cesaro - YES! I totally need to track down the older Elite. I think the one with the Andre statue matches what he wore in NXT.
Tye Dillinger - Also absolute yes. I need him.
Andrade Cien Almas - Will totally buy when he gets an Elite. I'm hoping it's his attire from the night he won the championship.
Triple H (new suited figure from NXT line, not sure if these have been released yet though) - I'm less concerned with this. Although I do really wanted a suited Regal.
Balor Club Finn Balor - I...actually have this figure somewhere! I need to find him and open it, lol.
Curtis Axel - Hrm...I forgot about Axel's cup of coffee in NXT. I also have him and have never opened him for some reason. Might as well! (UPDATE - I even found an NXT episode that he wore his Elite attire on! August 14th 2013 in a match against Big E Langston).
Summer Rae - I'll confess I'm not super familiar with her figures. I had thought that her basic was from when she was Fandango's valet? Does she have a figure that represents her NXT attire?

I would say Adam Rose. Didn’t do anything when he got called up but he was great in NXT.

You're missing Big E & Adam Rose. Adam rose elite you can get dirt cheap but early Big E elites or basics May cost u a bit.

Bubble popping Emma? Ascension, Tyson Kidd, Rhyno, Rich Swan? What about when NXT was a competition show?

No Hideo Itami? He's a legend.
He was in NXT longer than anyone.
