I recently put together www.WrestlingFigureDatabase.com, along with another wrestlingfigs forums member (fredster82). We're proud of how the site has turned out, and found ourselves using it to ID figures, see who was in what series, etc. We think it's ready to be a resource for others. We're in no way, shape, or form, done yet (we're focusing on domestic releases, but plan to extend to Popy, Kelian, etc.) but we have a substantial amount of lines--and checklists--added or partially added (Jakks is going to be the death of us), along with visual samples for almost every figure. There are a ton of awesome resources (THIS BOARD, this site's own outdated database, Facebook groups, Twitter, larger unfocused toy sites, etc.) for wrestling figure collectors but they're spread across multiple platforms, not super user friendly, or because they're not the main focus of the site, don't go into the depth we're typically looking for.
We want this to be a hub for all the incredible information floating out there, so please join us in building this and growing it to the most comprehensive database possible. I've reached out to some of you on these boards who have done an incredible job laying the foundation for this project  for permission to use your images (in the most dire circumstances only!) or to consult on specific lines. The reception thus far has been very positive, and we hope you continue to like it, use it, and help us build it. You can follow us on Facebook (Wrestling Figure Database) or Twitter (@wrestlingfigdb) but we'd love to start making more posts on WFigs to see what you want more of or where we should head next.
A preview of the site is below.
Thanks for your time!

Great job. I might have seen a similar database before, but  at the Toys R Us exclusives. |

We have some belts with figures on there but not the kid sized or adult. Figure sized of course, but feel free to add the kids sized, and of course bonus points for adult size. |

Figure sized of course, but feel free to add the kids sized, and of course bonus points for adult size. It’s an amazing idea that I’ll add to my ever growing list of possible features. However, being honest, it’s probably wayyyyyy down the line. After we get the bulk of domestic stuff done, we’lll likely be moving to wrestler based lists (i.e., nav to “hulk hogan” and are his figures across all lines). |

We will. We love Figure Realm too but we’re trying to fill in some of the variant gaps that they likely don’t have accounted for. Thanks for checking it out! |

That is an incredibly generous offer! At some point we're going to do loose profiles so that we can show detail and/or accessories, but we're probably a bit of a ways from there. We will definitely utilize your thread when we get there. Thank you so much! |

Awesome site! I just skimmed through it, but will be going back to check out more when I have time.
My suggestion that will probably be a lot of work/research (but help all of us out) would be to add the event/era/date or years if more than a one off that each elite fig wore the attire.
I stopped watching towards the end of the attitude era and casually off and on until around 2015 when I started watching again.
When I was reorganizing my collection, it was time consuming trying to determine which era certain figures belonged to. For example, I wasn't 100 percent sure if the two elites for Trish were AE, RA, or later. Would be awesome if the description had that info. Even better would be a search by era or hyperlink where it would show all of the figures by era. Obviously, some could pass for multiple eras.

Do you have the ability to search a specific wrestler and see all thier figures together. That would be pretty useful. Maybe also filter by company and line.

I'm able to do Golden, New Generation, Attitude, NWA/WCW, WCW/NWO, for Elites only, but I don't think that will cut the mustard. I put together those checklists way before I started this... |
