I have a very limited figure collection. I first got into the collecting because I needed something to do to occupy my mind while going through a divorce. At first it was just biding my time until Ric Flair's DM came out. At that point, I told myself I'd only get my favorite wrestlers in DM form, which were going to be Flair and Sting at first, and then the Macho Man.
Then, I dd more research. Whoops.
I ended up starting to collect my favorite WCW stars. Bought an NWO Macho Man while I waited for DM Sting to be released. Then, I saw the HOF packs, and thought, I always liked Trish. So purchased her. Saw the Horsemen pack, bought it. Anyways, I won't drag this part of the story out but needless to say my collection went from just wanting DMs to just wanting WCW to now just wanting my favorites.
However, I don't want to make this collection too big,so I just want to get the definitive version of these wrestlers:
1) DDP
2) CM Punk
3) AJ Lee
4) Seth Rollins
5) Dean Ambrose (I have the current Elite version of him. I don't know if I should sell it and go after the Shield version. I prefer his Lunatic Fringe character though. Also, not really sold on Roman Reigns yet, and in my mind, if I get one Shield member, I'd have to get them all)
6) Trish Stratus (I have the HOF. Is her Elite treatment the better one?)
7) Vader
8) Stone Cold
9) Rock
Any thoughts on what versions I should be getting? I know for DDP there's only two, and I'm leaning towards the Legends one, but thoughts are appreciated.

E16 punk with the white shirt. B53 AJ. Legends Vader is WCW attire, e31 is WWF attire but comes with wcw helmet. The e31-33 shield elites are more detailed, but its prefernece. i have all 3 Seth elites, 2 dean and one roman. I like e24 trish because i dont remember her as a brunette. Any Austin is good, the RSC head is the best. I like DM rock the best.
Dont worry about factions if you dont like everyone. No one will care about your collection more than you do

Think you'll start with saying I only want a few, then decide that a lot of these figures look too good to pass up. You'll then buy more and more. That's how this whole lifestyle starts.
To help you out with your choice: Pick them all up, because obviously you like the choices you picked out.
Early in collecting WWE figures I was going through a rough patch in my life. It distracted me in a good way, and eventually I got through it. I'll come to find out, (just like you'll eventually will) that buy the figures brings you back to joy you had when you were younger. Before growing up was, paying rent, marriage (or finding a girlfriend) stress at work, annoying people in the world ect.
So buy all of the figures (slowly if you need to) if you really like them, but will also bring you joy. If it doesn't bring you joy, to add that "figure" to your collection don't buy it. That's my advice.

1. DDP: Legends exclusive or elite 36 (they're very similar)
2. CM Punk: Elite 16
3. AJ Lee: Basic 53
4. Seth Rollins: Wrestlemania 31 exclusive
5. Dean Ambrose: Keep elite 36
6. Trish Stratus: I personally prefer elite 24 but both are good
7. Vader: Legends 3 or elite 31
8. Stone Cold: Ringside exclusive
9. Rock: Depends what version you want. Legends 3 for an old Rock or elite 22 for new.

That's my advice. That's sort of what I'm doing with my favorites. I'm planning on purchasing every Sting in existence. DM, Basics, BattlePacks whatever. Same goes for Paige, Kevin Owens, and Balor. To Everyone So far: Thanks for all of the suggestions. Money, although a concern, isn't my main issue. I prefer also collecting autographs and other wrestling memorabilia so space is the main issue. |

Legends Vader is garbage. I bought mine MOC and when I took him out of the box, his ab hinge was loose as hell. He flops all over the place. His feet hinges are also loose, so he's hard to stand upright. Flashback Vader was awesome. His ab crunch was tight and his attire looks better.

Legends Vader has his WCW/Japan attire and Flashback Vader has his WWE attire.
I once had both Vaders and opted to sell the Flashback version. I just liked the Legends attire a little bit more because I identify it with his dominance in WCW and Japan rather than him being a JTTS in WWE.

Oh I should have also asked about Maryse
In terms of the AJ scans. They all look rather different. One even reminds me of Melina.
Is the Basic 53 her best facial scan?

1. DDP: Legends
2. CM Punk: Elite 16
3. AJ Lee: Basic 53 or the one from the Big E Battlepack
4. Seth Rollins: Wrestlemania 31 exclusive
5. Dean Ambrose: Elite 36
6. Trish Stratus: Elite 24
7. Vader: Elite 31
8. Stone Cold: although the RSC exclusive is probably his best figure, I think the Legends or HOF figure have his more iconic look
9. Rock: Legends 3
