My mom joked that when I was setting up a display/packing things up last week that I must have 15,000-20,000 figures. That's a bit of hyperbole, but I do have a lot, lol. Primary focus is 80s and 90s up to the attitude era ... right now I have 135 loose in my main display including the attitude era. Probably another 300 or so loose I'm guessing (including one of each for most modern folks and other attires for the legends, all elites). Also probably around 50-75 MOC. (The scary part is at one point I was as close to a completionist as you could get with elites and I've probably sold/flipped another 200 or so in large lots.) Also have complete Hasbro set loose, near-complete LJN set loose, most of the bendems and one of each character with the Jakks BCAs. Trying to basically work my way up to Zack Ryder-ish complete sets (minus the rarities, lol). Edit: Now I'm on a mission to someday count all of mine up. Lol. May take a while, but I'll post on it eventually. So this thread (good thread!) got me to break down and count all of my "inventory," lol. Turns out I have 465 loose Mattels and 135 MOC for the perfect number of 600 total. Surprised it turned out that neat, ha. Sometimes I think I should balance out my collection with more MOC figs but I should probably be fine with freaking 600 overall at this point, lol.

You gotta find someone who doesn’t care what you collect. I’ve been collecting since I was 5. My first wrestling fig was LJN junkyard dog which I got for Christmas 1985. I’m now married with 2 kids & just had a grandson 8 months ago. My wife just wants me to be happy! Oh no, its not "OMGZ You buy toyz!" Its "I dont wanna spend any money on you, Id rather buy toys!" 😂🤣😂🤣

Hundreds. All loose and from all eras. I haven’t counted in probably a year or so. Below is a photo I took a while back of all of my non-current roster figures. I have collected many more since then, and have hundreds of current roster figures not pictured as well. Ya' basic

Good golly, I have no clue - maybe I will count them some day.
I've got 50 plus MOC Mattels (majority are elites) and they are only MOC because I haven't gotten around to opening them yet - lol.
As for loose, hundreds & hundreds. I have all my LJN's (35-50ish) from my childhood plus several loose of all makers, shapes, sizes & era's.

Probably at least 500 or 600 Mattel. I stopped counting after a while. That is just Mattel. I have hundreds of Hasbro's, Jakks BCA, bendems and other figures from the past as well.

I collect all eras and separate my figures into Raw/SmackDown (my rosters consist of a mix of Attitide and RA eras), WWE (PG era and beyond), WCW, ECW, NXT and Golden Era WWE.
I think I have about 200 figures in total, mostly loose.

I only collect Mattel with the exception of the Chyna, Owen Hart and Blue Blazer I own. I have about 450 MOC figures and maybe 100 loose.

Around 130 - 150. If Jakks and other stuff were included I would be hitting about 250.

How do you have them all displayed? jakks are in a bin. Pops are stacked up on a shelf. Mattel’s are embarrassingly set up on the floor. I set it up when I was like 12 and just haven’t gotten shelves yet. About 3 times a month I look at them and think I need shelves for these, then I think “yeah but, that’s a couple hundred bucks I could spend on figuring instead” lol Oh and of course my signed figures are upon a shelf

I have a whole closet full of close to 100 MOC. Then I have a little over 100 loose on display. Then my kids have about 20 they play with. I've been watching since about 88-89

And what era(s) do you collect? Currently I have 9(with 14 on the way). I started watching WWE in late 1999 I believe, so I will be collecting anything from then until now. According to my wife, too many lol

WOW! There are a lot of hardcore collectors on here, my collection pales in comparison. I currently have 44 figures total with 35 different characters. I decided to focus my collection on the era I grew up with and compiled a list of the wrestlers I wanted a figure of so as to keep the collection small. Due to the addictive nature of this hobby (and thankfully better availability of these figures here in Canada the last few years), my wish list has been expanded several times. Bigelow, Bossman & Beefcake were not part of my original list, nor were any managers. As a child, I had 4 LJN figs and 4 Hasbro figs- not sure why 4, guess that is all my parents were willing to buy me. I got rid of them when I got older and went through a phase of not wanting to keep any of my toys that I had as a kid. Looking back I wish I had kept the LJN's just for nostalgia sake but don't really regret getting rid of the Hasbro's as I did not like them as they were not really playable. Biggest regret however is getting rid of the Hasbro ring, seeing the resurgence of these figs now with the introduction of the Mattel retros, I would have been able to sell the ring now for a pretty penny.

Too Many to count... but I collect all eras!!! Late 80's and 90's are always super sought after for me cause I was a kid growing up... so many great memories. Attitude Era I loved as I was a teenager and it wasn't PG13... so fun. I'm still a wrestling fan so I collect new guys when they come out too.
