How do you collect your Mattel figures ? Do you collect them all or just specific figures ? Becaus i collect all of mattel figures. And my parents say that this is not normal.

I only collect figures for either guys I am a fan of or that Mattel has made so well that I can't pass it up.
I hate Batista, why do I want his figure sitting on my shelf? That has just always been my take on the situation. Plus, its how I keep from spending way too much on stuff I will regret buying later. People collect for different reasons though. Some buy every figure because they enjoy the hunt or do feds or whatever, but I wouldn't say its not normal to have every guy. It just has everything to do with your personal preference.
Tell your parents you legitimately like wrestling so much that every guy is your favorite so you have to have them all.

I'm collecting all elite style figures & those i want from basic sets, i think for me its the best way as i'm not a big fan of basic style figures, i have picked Henry/Austin/kane & Dreamer as they weren't in elite style at the time & looked to good to pass up. i have also brought rumble edge/punk, WM & EC Batista's for the to good looking reason

I get the guys I like unless there's some sort of "buy 2 get 1 free" then I'll get guys I really would have passed on if they weren't free. Then there's guys like Triple H, Taker, Regal I'll buy every version they release...and other guys like Kofi, Carlito, Rey that one version will be it.

I try and collect one of everyone, and then after that I collect re-releases of attires I really liked. With Jakks there was a time I tried to collect all RVDs, but that started getting expensive.
Edit: With Mattel I'm trying to collect Elites and divas (since they are sort of like Elites) and Basics of those I don't think will get Elites. Like Shelton and Dreamer.

I just collect the people I like. However I only stick to one of each person. If a newer version comes out and I like that one more than I sell the old one on Ebay. The only guy that I have two of is CM Punk (Elite 1 & PPV 3) because I really like both of the figures.

All elites. Most basics, but if it's someone I'm not that interested in I'll wait for an elite. I'll only get the legends that really interest me.
The ones I've passed on so far and don't intend on getting:
Basic 2 Mysterio
Two-Packs 3 Mysterio and Bourne
Two-Packs 3 Big Show (bought Edge loose on ebay)
WMH Cena
WMH Undertaker
Survivor Series Cena
Royal Rumble Glamazon
Royal Rumble Jericho
Royal Rumble HHH
Basic 4 hasn't come out near me yet, but I'll be passing on Hardy and MVP. Two-packs 4 haven't hit either, but I'll probably only get Christian/Dreamer, maybe the Harts. Definitely gonna pass on Hornswoggle and Chavo.
From Basic 5, I'll get Knox, Hurricane and Melina. From two-packs 5, I'll probably get DX and maybe the Colons.
Legends 1 isn't out here yet either, I'll only get Austin (and maybe LOD if they go on clearance).
For guys I like who change their attire a fair bit, I don't mind getting a few multiples. I'll probably get every Kofi, Michaels and Punk.

I don't collect sets or series. I just get who I want and in what attires I want.
And I typically only keep 1 figure of a person.

It's funny someone has asked this question as I was thinking about this today too.
I mainly go for the Elite's but if there's a Basic figure that I really like or think it looks pretty good I pick it up. The Basic 4 Dolph Ziggler for example I've ordered, RR CM Punk, Basic 1 Kofi. I will also be picking up the EC Drew Mcintyre & Batista if I see them but will be buying all of Elite 5.
