Questions about Mattel

Smyths is your friend for most new elites

If you are lucky you may be able to find WM9 Brutus Beefcake and Berzerker in Smyths for £5 each

We've had Warlord recently too


Like has been said above, look at the checklist for older figures and it is likely you would have to use the secondary market to pick up most of them

I love that era, here is a selection of my Federation-era elites, I keep changing it around but it currently looks like this:

When I started collecting a couple years ago, I found the easiest way to figure out what's out there was to check out various threads with collection pictures. From there it's pretty easy to google a figure to find out what series it was in.

Collect what you like, and try to avoid getting caught up in hype. Mattel has produced a very, very deep roster across all eras, so collect what you enjoy. You'll be able to get US exclusives cheaper (and many of the flashback figures are now US exclusive), but those figures tend to come and go quickly. If you see a figure you like, don't assume it will still be available in the states in 6 or 8 months.

As far as what wrestlers have been made, Mattel only makes figures of wrestlers who are signed to WWE Legends contracts. So there are some well known names who haven't been made to date. Slowly but surely Mattel has been checking names off that list. But quite a few prominent mid-card wrestlers from the Golden Era are currently in a class action lawsuit against WWE and are unlikely to have figures any time soon.

Good luck collecting, and if you have questions ask around the board. You're bound to get some useless, sarcastic answers but there is a lot of knowledge here and folks happy to help.

And I love your collection.
