I saw The Coons thread about posting your first few Mattel figures and saw that I had tons of pictures of how my collection has grown and changed through the past few years. I've done a lot of moving along with building and selling parts of my collection since Mattel took over and I thought I would share all of them.
My first two Mattel figures

My first elite, this is when I started to get hooked
[/URL]
I'm not sure what happened to the last 5, I moved a few times that summer. Then I was collecting basics and elites for awhile before deciding I liked elites more. Looking back there were a few awesome ones.
[/URL]
After some buying/selling/trading I had a day where I picked up around 12 of these.
[/URL]
Some more changes
[/URL]
Picked up the ESR for $20 at Big Lots
[/URL]
This was as far as I got with my first collection before I sold it to help with a move across country. It might be my favorite of the collections I've had.
[/URL]
I restarted my collection a few months later with these fixups.
[/URL]
I think this is the last picture of my collection before I sold it. I was getting a place with my girlfriend and didn't think she'd want my collection out on display. Theres some missing from this like Natalya, Slater, and a few others.
[/URL]
After moving in my girlfriend asked me if I'd like to put my figures on our entertainment center. I had never even mentioned that I had a collection and immediately felt really dumb for selling my collection. So I restarted buying and trading. These were the first I picked up to restart.
[/URL]
I realized I am missing a picture from when I sold about 15 of them to help out my little brother. This is the final collection I had before I had to sell all of them last fall when my car needed a few thousand in repairs. My girlfriend told me multiple times that it wasn't worth selling them AGAIN, but it really helped at the time. I loved this collection and there are a few I really want to get back still.
[/URL]
That brings me to now. I've been really busy with work and ski season but I've managed to get a pretty good base going. My girlfriend got me DX with Shawn/Billy Gunn on pre order and I think Road Dogg is my favorite figure Mattel has made so far. I also have Evan Bourne, Antonio Cessaro, Cody Rhodes, and E19 HBK coming tomorrow to add in, along with an elite CM Punk to fixup with that basic.
[/URL]
Thanks for taking a look. I think its been a really long time since I shared anything from my collection but this is all of it. Theres quite a few that I'm excited to get back and hopefully I can get a deal on some like Cactus Jack and Mankind. In anyones opinion are there any I should try to add that I have had/never had?
