Do you guys have strict rules on what you do? Do you allow cross brand interaction like Marvel with WWE? Do you integrate old brands with new, like Hasbro with Mattel? Do you guys count each figure as its own wrestler or does that wrestler just have different attires, so would L6 Warrior ever face HOF Warrior? Do you try and stay realistic with your storylines or can they go anywhere, as in Batista would never be tag champs with Papa Shango?
So yesterday I busted out my figures with my daughter and I found myself having a hard time being creative. When I was a kid I had favorites and it didn't matter what they were. Spawn, Lava Predator, and Iceman were always in the mix for Blue Jakks Ultimate Warriors title, while Owen Hart (Jakks), Wolverine, and Blue Zebra Shawn Michaels (Jakks) were always in the mix for Green Jakks Ultimate Warriors IC title. Now I can't make up my mind if I want to mix species, universes, toy companies, or even eras anymore. I had a hard time accepting that my 9 year old wanted to make Sheamus and Iron Shiek a tag team simply because they're from different generations haha. So I was just curious what everyone else did?

In my figure fed it's basically any wrestler who is a figure and in scale with Mattel. I also have some of the Marvel figures that are in the 6 inch scale too!

I just keep it all Mattel wwe . Usually i just say he has different attires, but once I did a cena vs cena storyline just for fun. I stay pretty realistic other then dead wrestlers face current guys and i often do spots that would not be able to happen in real life.

For AWE I'm using Mattels in ring (for now) and Jakks figs for announcers, Ref, etc. It likely wont always be this way, but for now it's what is working. And if I ever feel so inclined to include a superhero, ninja turtle, or power ranger -- so be it.

I only use mattel WWE, as i like to try and stay realistic. I do matches with wrestlers from their respective generations, and each figure is the same person with different attires. However, if somebody is still on WWE, such as Hogan, i will do a Hogan Vs Cena match etc. Also, i never buy figures of those who have passed away, as i would never play with them as i like to keep things realistic.

I dont have brands and I dont follow WWE. I try to have my own company, kinda like the indies.
I do alot of deathmatches which makes it easy to be creative. Making unique stipulations and setting up ultraviolent contraptions for my figures to go through is fun.
I actually don't care who I choose for matches, I basically look for good articulation figures which are easy to do moves with.
I'd say I play with more fantasy in mind since they are figures, I mean someone getting suplex off a 25 foot scaffold onto concrete is no way realistic but I like setting up insane bumps like that, sometimes I think like a promoter (I used to deathmatch BYW) so its kind of a habit to think of how to do insane bumps while staying safe.
I don't mix "universes" but I play with anything from jakks, marvel tna, mattel and even oddball figures like a motocross guy that i use as a high flyer.
I just have fun and play the way I like to.

trying to think up one myself just using the mattel wwe figures i own. using one of each person but trying to decide if i should use both if they have different names i.e. diesel/kevin nash(i know they had a fake diesel but he became kane so same issue) or los matadores/epico and primo.

As a personal hobby, I try to stay within limits by using just wrestlers that are somewhat compatible in size and look...is...jakks ra/da and 6 inch Mattel. If your just havin fun playing wrestling with your little one, then skies the limit... Have fun and enjoy the moment.

Mixed eras, pretty much everyone is in their primes.

I use only Mattels. Although if I happen to come across a 6 inch figure that I like that's non-wwe, I'd use it. I use some figures that are of older guys and create new names and personalities for them. I usually stay pretty realistic but anything can happen in XWE.

Good feedback guys. It seems most on here stay within relatively close guidelines for their own Feds. When my American Made Hogan came in yesterday I had him next to HOF2 Hogan and thought they looked cool together so possibly they could be tag champs but then I'm breaking all realism rules haha

When Mattel debuted I had a roster of Jakks and one of Mattel until I had enough for a full Mattel roster now it's all Mattel and Jakks are all sold unless moc.

Anything goes in my pic fed so I don't mind mixing toy companies (Mattel and Jakks).
But with my personal fed, the only time I mix is for staff (managers, commentators, GM, etc), never wrestlers.
I never have the wrestler wrestle him/herself in my personal fed. I don't do attire switches often either.
If I can make a tag team make sense I'll do it no matter how crazy it may seem.
