Are there any figures that you're not sure one way or the other if you own?
I'm guessing it's a no for most of you, but today I realised that I'm not sure if I ever got the Eve Torres figure in white. I thought I had it, but when I started questioning it, I could find no evidence of it. When I search my email for WWE Eve, it shows an eBay auction I didn't win for it, and one I did win for the Eve in blue. And I know that all the other figures I have that came out at the same time (Otunga, Cena/Kane, Primo/Epico etc), I bought online so I don't think I was going to stores much that Christmas. And I've looked through some of my boxes of figures and no sign of that Eve... But I coulda sworn I had it. I'll have to look harder to make sure.
Edit: Just checked a different email... I did buy it online! But it's still kinda weird that I have to check to know whether I have certain figures or not.

I havent collected Basics since mid 2012 so I'm positive I'd be shocked at some figures I'd find if I went looking through them today.

A few months ago, I had a water leak in my basement. Most of my figs were in good plastic boxes, but I had some in the original cardboard boxes they were shipped in, so I had to go through everything to see the damage. Fortunately, the damage was minimal. I decided to rebox and go through everything and it's blowing my mind some of the stuff I had forgotten I had. I started an Instagram account to show it all off by mostly to create an inventory of sorts for myself. You know you have too many dang figures when you have no idea what all you have, lol.

Heh heh. I've pared down my collection so much... I have basically one of every character except for a select few. So, it's pretty easy to remember what I have. That said, with head swaps and other fix-ups I've done, I do sometimes forget what figures originally looked like!

No. But I don't buy from the secondary market. So with the exception of preorders from RSC everything I buy locally so I know what I have purchased or not.

Back when jakks made figures I had a nice Randy Orton figure(came in the K-Mart 2 pack with Edge as a ref.) I thought my cousin stold it. About 3 years ago I was cleaning and moving stuff around and I found Randy.

I've never had a problem remembering what figures I own, but I often forgot how much I liked the figures I had, which was especially heartbreaking when I started selling my collection. Elite mankind, arn Anderson, legends 4 warrior..I'd pull them out and be like "damn, these figures are so damn cool looking......" Definitely came a long way from bca and ttl figures I grew up with.

Whenever I re-model my toy room i put away everything in boxes until it's done. Painted my room and took all the furniture out..month later was time to put everything in it's place but after setting up my display it felt kind empty but I didn't pay much attention to it. A few months later I found a another box I had in my DVD container with like 20 other elites so that was one instance of not realizing what I was missing. Honestly if someone took a figure from my collection I wouldn't notice until I looked specifically for that figure.

When I was sorting out my figures earlier this year, for the life of me I couldn't find the RSC exclusive SES Punk and Masked Kane figures... I was sure I'd bought them, but then I started to question it... they weren't with any of the other exclusives, Elites or WWE stuff. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I found them a few months later both in a box of Marvel figures - one very relieved SteveHulk!

I was looking through the fix-up thread just now and came across this: Bryan Danielson Then I remembered I bought B11 Daniel Bryan at Big Lots in June before I went on vacation. It's still stashed in the garage, lol. Elite 1 MVP is hiding out somewhere in my house...

Nope, I remember them all. In fact, when my dog ate my Sin Cara I noticed the next time I used the figures. Then proceeded to find the evidence.

I'm not sure how anyone can lose track of their action figures but then again I don't have hundreds. I do however, forget which Blu-rays I do and do not have cause I have over 300.
