I wouldn't care about a line or not, I open these so whatever line they're in is meaningless to me. But please do make more WCW and ECW originals.

I think this will be my first Rollins figure. I really like the red pants.

So many, but I'll stick to ones where I was initially very excited and changed my mind. Rhyno elite. WTF. I was so bummed, because I try to get ALL the OG ECW dudes, even if it's not their ECW look. But I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it at 20, I couldn't do it at 10, I couldn't do it at 6 damn dollars! I just got the basic which I love, despite not being a basics collector.
Also Walmart Flashback Yokozuna. I hemmed and hawed at the store and was just like "nah" I dunno, it didn't excite me. I wanted it, but then I didn't.

My Walmart, north Chicago burbs, had them fully stocked this AM. I'm shocked, our near-Chicago Walmarts usually suck, but man, gotta give it up, in 2018 they've been solid!

It's trash I throw away. As far as how important packaging overall is to me for toys, it's not, but if the figure looks GREAT in killer packaging, I might keep them sealed. It really depends on a lot of factors. OR if I know it's something I might get signed. But in general, across the board all toys, I open that crap unless it's vintage.

Well the page on goodsmile.info reads "©ARISTRIST All Rights Reserved.", so I don't think NJPW has anything to do with the figure: ARISTRIST is owned by Chono. Didn't look at their site. Damn. Well I hope it kind of gives Bandai a push to pursue more Japanese talent. This just looks expensive They're $80, I'm sure there will be a sale somewhere down the road. The quality is better than Mattel but yeah $80 is nothing to snuff at.

All loose except the real weird/trash/silly gimmicks like Shockmaster, Yankem and Virgil. I also kept 3 DM figures sealed, Hulk, Shinsuke and the recent Macho. I'll probably keep The Shark sealed a well.
My decision is mostly because I find the majority of Mattels packaging ugly. But I really dislike modern packages designs overall.
I keep the weird ones sealed because it makes me laugh. the 3 DMs I have no real reason, I just never opened those 3 in particular and maybe I will one day. Maybe I won't.

Pretty sure this is it. Angle I bought in 17 but it didn't arrive until 18, so I'm counting it. This is actually a lot for me in just 3 months.

Dammit I might buy the whole set. Simmons 100%, I have the original Elite Kane but might grab this one too. Mine has a lot of play wear. And if Elite DIY are true, I'm in.

Target can drop a bit for me, but only for little bits. The ones near me nearly ALWAYS get new stuff, have SOMETHING on the shelves at all times and restock regularly. Yeah there'll be a shelf warmer here and there but it doesn't actually stop them from restocking. There's still Tito's near me and they still got HOF5 and HOC. Multiple times now.
Walmarts, a skid mark of humanity, near me on the other hand may never actually get their own damn exclusives, rarely restocks, frequently have empty, as in 0 wrestling figures, on the shelves and if they do get something new or an exclusive it's usually ONLY once with NO restock.
So yeah, all retail stores can kind of be a bummer sometimes, but nothing is as depressing as the open bed sore of a store known as Walmart.

Look at my avatar. My answer might not SHOCK you. (shockmaster) The packaging alone is beautiful. That's really part of it. I open all my figures, but needed two of this just to keep one sealed. I get it, he's a novelty, a joke. But there are SO many versions of the other guys I love, Undertaker, Macho, etc. To nail Shockmaster, a niche' character, in such a perfect tongue and cheek way really sealed the deal. Nothing else is quite as unique and hilarious and just dead on as this figure.
