So stoked. Picked up a lot in the past month.. but my biggest hype is that with Tommy Dreamer, I'm now only two away from one of every wrestler Mattel has made a figure of! Michelle McCool and King Kong Bundy are the last two I'm missing, as well as Goldberg, but I'm holding out for the Entrance Greats of him. Awesome to have a WCW belt in figure form, need more of those.. and pretty stoked to have new stuff!  |

Awesome! This was my original goal when i started in 2014. I'm still a good 60 away though. I missed out on the Legends run so I have to collect a few "bank breakers". Also is that Delirious there in the back corner?

Also is that Delirious there in the back corner? It is. I'm likely gonna use him for the parts, because he's out of scale. I started when Mattel got the license, but I had already been collecting Jakks and had one of everyone, so I didn't get any of the people that had already gotten Jakks figures. That's lots of going back to fill in the gaps. I got guys like Savage, Steamboat, and Tatsu.. but I had to get guys like Finlay, Eddie, Demolition, MVP, etc. Tommy Dreamer was one of the last three.. And this Dreamer isn't mint, but it checks it off the list for now. Hoping I'll find a good deal on Bundy and McCool more sooner than later! |

I should point out.. I'm NOT counting Dude Love, JJ Dillon, or anyone else who's officially "out" but hasn't got my retail outlets yet.
Need those, and to replace AoP with those excellent Elites.

That is very cool! Do you happen to have them all on display, and maybe some pictures of them? Would be so cool to see them all!

I need to set them all up again and take a huge picture, but i haven't done that in a year or two. Here is a pic from the last time though.. the big one is each person... The smaller pic is alternate gimmicks.. and the belts are self explanatory. So many more now though.. just lazy. Haha    |

okay so I understand clearly, your goal is to get one figure of every wrestler Mattel has made; if Jakks did them already you count that in - so Jakks HBK will count, but Jakks Johnny Rodz wouldn't, right? I ask because I also see figures like Giant Gonzalves and Heidenreich which Mattel never made, do they work towards your count?
Now does this also include managers/advisers like the BAFs - Ricardo, Teddy Long, Zeb Colter, Torito, etc. because I couldn't spot them right away?
On another note, look how tiny elite DIY Ciampa is!

Not quite. My goal is to have one of every wrestler that's been made in scale (so to speak) with the Mattel Elites and Jakks RAs. That includes DA figures, TTLs, Toybiz, and the Lucha Playmates figures, imho. That said.. I'm two away from having MATTEL versions of everyone Mattel has made. I also have either a Mattel or a Jakks version of everyone Jakks has made. So guys like Killer Kowalski, Jesse Gordy, and Trevor Murdock I have, just in Jakks form. I have switched a few of them over to Elite customs over the years. When I say every character, I mean just that. The manager types are on the mantle, and if you don't see them in the pic, I hadn't gotten them yet. Aside from the aforementioned JJ Dillon, they're all there. I DON'T have Booker or Kane, because the guy in a suit doesn't constitute an entirely different gimmicks, imho. I probably should have picked up Booker as a commentator, but meh. Keep in mind that picture is a few years old now! |

But I don't consider them released until they hit stores widely... And my area of coastal VA is always among the last to get them. I also need to upgrade Jinder, Akam, and Rezar to Elites... As I always pick up the Elite of a character if it's available. |

Is McCool difficult to find in the states? I got her figure on eBay in the Uk for a decent price.
I hope you get em all and post some pictures of them organised.
Can’t wait to see when you do it.
You’re like the grand slam champion of Mattel WWE figures lol.

Not super difficult. I can find her on eBay for like $40. I also haven't actively been looking for her like that . Preferring to trade with someone than but her outright.

Just an FYI, we aren't allowed to post pics of the Elgin or Delirious figures. Dont want you to get in trouble.

I was simply posting my most recent figure gets at a few different wrestling figure forums. Nothing ill gotten or anything... seems like a no brainer. Still, thanks for the heads up. |

Well that's ing stupid. Yeah, I agree. They're just toys, and the market for those particular figures is not very large. |

I'd forgotten about all that to be honest. Was just sharing a picture of stuff I bought recently.
I'd far prefer to get my Delirious figure as an Elite.. but that's not an option, and it obviously does exist. Burying your head in the sand is generally childish at best and disrespectful at worst.
Hopefully, logic and cool leads prevail, and we can get back on track about the Mattel figures. Gonna be a shame if my post gets locked over me literally sharing wrestling figures I purchased legally on a wrestling figure forum.
