While this collection is fantastic, I’m so happy I sold off my entire collection a year or so ago. Haven’t looked back since. The newest figures are pretty cartoonish and the cut in budget has hurt the attires in most cases. I won’t be tempted back, even with a collection as nice as this one

This is my favorite display ever! Yes, I completely agree. This is the greatest collection I have seen on here since I became a member and the fact that its from greatest era of wrestling (sorry I am biased  ) just make it that much more awesome. I really enjoy seeing this monster collection grow, thanks for continuing to post updates and thanks to the admins for allowing the thread to be updated (this board seems to have a thing with not allowing older threads to be updated). Does your display stretch from one end of your room to the other as that is what it looks like from the pics?!  |

Why are you removing figures from your collection?

Does your display stretch from one end of your room to the other as that is what it looks like from the pics?! Thanks so much. I have really enjoyed putting it all together over the past several years. It takes up a decent portion of one of the walls of my basement (about 96" long I believe) Why are you removing figures from your collection? This has been a bit of a struggle/dilemma for me as I want to keep the collection to around 100-120 figures but don't like the idea of having to remove some figures. Still, I'm not looking to add any more length to my shelf (and I can't as you can see in the pic). In order to keep it under control, I've had to remove some figures over time when newer ones that may be better figures (in my opinion) are released. This is nothing new with my collection as I've been doing this since day once. The toughest decisions are which figures to remove. Usually I will remove basics that I already have Elites of first, unless it's one of my favorite attires (e.g. Warrior RR91). Then I may look to remove 'duplicate' characters that weren't known for having multiple "looks". Finally, I'll take away some Warriors or Machos simply so they don't completely take over the collection. Like I said, it's a tough decision but I've decided to keep it at a certain size (I think that's part of the charm) so it's a necessary evil. I've always toyed with the idea of having just 1 figure of every character (and no 'duplicate' characters) but how do you decide which version to keep when many characters have had multiple legendary periods with different looks and/or gimmicks throughout their career (e.g. Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Savage, Bret, Bulldog, Warrior, etc.)? |

Oh. And I here you about having just one figure no duplicates. I was going to do a similar thing, have one elite and one basic of each character, but deciding which ones for some was getting too hard - especially for Macho, Warrior, Shawn, Sting, etc. Makes it difficult. |

Is that orange Macho robe a custom or what? I can't find it with any of his Mattel figs.

I believe I purchased it (along with the matching headband) on eBay a while back. By the way, I have updated photos coming soon. Just gotta get around to posting them. |

MWFD , this is amazing! Do you have any idea how much space this takes up? I'm so impressed by this I'm really thinking of trying something similar.

Is that orange Macho robe a custom or what? I can't find it with any of his Mattel figs. Pretty sure I bought this on the bay a year or 2 back. It came with the matching orange headband and really made the basic WrestleMania V figure pop. MWFD , this is amazing! Do you have any idea how much space this takes up? I'm so impressed by this I'm really thinking of trying something similar. Thanks The Madness I believe the shelf that these are displayed on measures 96" long (so about 8 feet). It's a very long, custom shelf that I had installed for the sole purpose of displaying my collection. At the time I had this shelf installed, it seemed large enough, but at this point, I could probably fill another 6 tiers of deluxe display stands (2 sets of front row, middle row, back row) no problem. Updated 2/19 to include latest collection photo (see OP) and link to updated close-up images. |

What is that jacket on Warrior? Looks amazing!
This collection is my goal. It's all the figures I want. I'm starting again, and getting closer.
