Sweet collection! I remember most but it was cool to scroll through and see just how many different looks we actually got! Do you do anything similar for anyone else? Thanks dude! I appreciate it. I collect as many Triple H and Zack Ryder figures as I can and I've got all of the Elite Demon King Finn Bálors, but nothing anywhere near how serious I am about collecting The Undertaker. My collection isn't really too specific. I just try to pick up any good figures released by Mattel.

Dang I wouldn't be able to want to collect just one wrestler. lol That is a lot of Undertakers; even a PlayStation controller!?!? Wow It is a cool pic to see all those figures. I appreciate it! Of course I collect more than just 'Taker figures, but he is the only wrestler I'm really serious about collecting. Finn Bálor is getting up there in terms of Elites, but he hasn't had enough figures yet for me to make a big deal about it.

That Undertaker autograph reminds me that I need to frame my Hogan & Austin ones. The Hogan one had a rip before I even took it out of the box and the Austin one looks a little faded (and it's not even his normal signature) Really? That worries me because I also have the Austin one. I hope it's actually his signature.

Great collection. Can you get the retros in NZ? Sadly not. We don't get much at all here. It's been better as of late, but we are still limited to an occasional re-stock of (kinda) new Basics, and leftovers of the Lost Legends Elite series. I want the Retro Undertaker figure, but isn't it exclusive to Walmart in the US or something? Amazon is where I get most of my new stuff from, but they are of course unable to stock the Retros. I don't want to pay too much for it either.

I'd love to see individual pics. Sure thing! I'm glad you said this before I put everything back! It may take me a while to upload the pics, but I'll work on it and get the pics up as soon as possible. The non-figure items have been put back already, but I can still take pictures of the figures.

Unfortunately, we did not get that series as there are no Toys 'R' Us stores here. However, my parents brought back the Daniel Bryan figure from that set for me when they were in Australia a couple years back. It's still mint on card, but I'm still happy knowing that Paul Bearer's head and urn are hidden in there somewhere. Dang that stinks. I know some people use a paul heyman or J&J security with some cotton under the jacket for a gut. Hope we see a Judgment Day 2000 and hHh 2000 at Ringside Fest or Toy Fair next year since SDCC didnt Yeah! Bill has said in the past that it can be a struggle to fit figures into lines, but they have yet to make Ringside Collectibles exclusive Undertaker and Triple H figures. I wouldn't mind paying the extra money to have those in my collection.

Looks awesome! Undertaker is such a cool wrestler/figure to collect, as he had so many different looks... Yeah, it's very rare that I see a WWE Figure Collection with only one 'Taker figure in it.

Needs Paul Bearer! I know Australia got the original set a few years ago. Did New Zealand get the shaft? Unfortunately, we did not get that series as there are no Toys 'R' Us stores here. However, my parents brought back the Daniel Bryan figure from that set for me when they were in Australia a couple years back. It's still mint on card, but I'm still happy knowing that Paul Bearer's head and urn are hidden in there somewhere.

Hey everyone! I've been a member on here for over 4 years now, but I haven't posted anything about my own figures in my collection on here for a very long time. Another member on here recently created a thread showcasing their 'shrines' of a few different superstars and it was very impressive. I made a comment saying it gave me the urge to make a thread showcasing my Undertaker collection that has slowly been building up over the last few years. A couple people on here liked the idea, so I've been gathering up all of my Undertaker stuff that could fit into the shot. I still have a couple bits and pieces like shirts and DVDs that didn't make it into the picture, but here is the majority of my Undertaker collection. I hope to eventually own all of 'Taker's Elite figures, but it's a really hard thing to do when I live in New Zealand. Shipping prices to get stuff from the US out here can sometimes be ridiculous. To my knowledge, I have most of them though. My biggest need would definitely have to be the original Defining Moments 'Taker. I ordered all the boxed Undertaker figures by release date, and the loose ones by the date of the attire. I know there are better Undertaker collections out there, so feel free to show us your Undertaker collection if you have one! My Undertaker collection will never be complete without Undertaker Elite figures in WrestleMania 14, Judgement Day 2000 and WrestleMania 33 attires. I also wouldn't mind getting a Survivor Series 2005/Armageddon 2005 Undertaker figure with kickpads because it signifies the return of the tights and the full beard is something different for Undertaker. Update:I appreciate all of the positive feedback I've received so far! Upon request, I've taken individual pictures of all of my Undertaker figures (excluding the Pop! Vinyl and Create a Superstar).

This is the leftovers of a fix-up shown below this one. It's the Entrance Greats body and shirt with the Elite WM31 Heritage head and hands.
Elite Fix-Up Survivor Series 1990 Attire
The parts used for this were the Elite WM31 Heritage Body, as well as the Entrance Greats head, hands, tie and jacket.
Elite Series 23
I replaced the original entrance jacket with the one from the Elite WM32 Series figure to make it more accurate to how he used to wear it with the front being buttoned up.
Elite Fix-Up 2004/2005 Attire
For this fix-up, I used the Elite WM32 Series body as well as the Basic Series 16 head and boots. Those boots fixed the height issue and are more accurate to the time. Also makes the figure more stable. Surprisingly, I managed to swap the boots with no hassle at all. I also used a plastic entrance jacket as opposed to the original cloth jacket as I think it looks better.

I added the Elite Series 27 entrance robe to match the ring attire.

This is what was left over from the Elite 2004/2016 fix-up with the Basic Series 14 body, along with Elite WM32 Series head and boots.

Those are all great collections! Especially Finn Bálor! It's tempting me to make a thread showcasing my Undertaker "shrine". Do it! These forums should be more pics and less arguing/speculation. In my opinion at least That's a fantastic point! You're totally right! I haven't uploaded pictures to a thread on here for about two years. I'll work on getting everything together to take some pictures.

It annoys me how only one of the wrist gauntlets are molded on. The original Elite Series 12 release has them both molded.

Dude's one of the most ripped guys on the roster, and he's sharing the same torso as present day Chris Jericho. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Was it really necessary to bump a thread that's nearly a year old though? was it really necessary for you to make a comment and what you rather be do post on a old thread or make a new one you probably would of moaned either way lol I speak for a lot of people when I say that opening up a recently updated thread and seeing old discussion in from a year ago can be quite annoying. I've been called out on it in the past not being aware of how people get annoyed by it. Now watching countless old threads that have been bumped over the years, I see what they meant. I also don't appreciate you assuming the way I would approach certain threads. I wasn't attempting to put you down in any way, but I apologize if I did. My comment towards you was simply made to do you and other newer members a favour. I've seen people on these boards getting warnings/strikes for bumping too many old threads before.

I'm hoping we get on future AJ styles figures I'm hoping the first figure they put it on is basic 76 AJ Was it really necessary to bump a thread that's nearly a year old though?

I prefer how the facial hair was painted on the original release, but I do like the inclusion of eye liner on the new one. I have both, but I decided to keep the Basic Series 16 WrestleMania Heritage Undertaker head on my Elite WrestleMania 32 figure because it better represents his 2004 run in my opinion. He didnt have those neck tattoos in 2004 though. He just had Sara still on there. Yeah. Sadly, it's the closest we are going to get to an Elite 2004/2005 Undertaker figure at this stage.

It's supposed to be based on his WrestleMania 32 attire, but I don't really understand the brown pants either. The pants should've been the same colour as the original Basic Series 16 release. The pants on those are a really dark grey, and it keeps the pants from looking apart of the singlet. I suppose the brown pants also do the job, but I don't understand why they couldn't have been the same dark grey colour. The back of the box for the basic says April 2004. Yet the pants designs are from WrestleMania 32 and he has all of his updated tattoos.
