Display and rotate. Or put some in storage. If you take them out in 2 years it will feel like Christmas. Don't sell. I agree with this 100%

The Jakks classic superstars line opened up a pandora's box for wrestling collecting because it literally held and fulfilled the potential to have just about any wrestler that ever laced up boots. As someone who collected other series throughout the years (Remco AWA, WWF LJN, WWF BCAs, some WCW figures here and there), knowing that my youthful dream of AWA, WCW, NWA, WWE, ECW, etc. all being available in the same line in the same scale is a dream come true. With Mattel picking up the license and letting loose on so many flashbacks, it's worth it to keep a hearty collection because this is a pinnacle time to be a wrestling figure collector. My advice: choose one "best" figure of each character minimizing duplicates, and don't fall for the trap of collecting both basics and elite. And keep those cloth outfits and accessories: they always seem to come in handy.

I downsized my jakks collection years ago and now I feel it's time to do it again with my mattel figures.

Maybe if I ever feel like there are too many I'll hide them away from everyone else.

If I didn't feel like hassling with Ebay I'd probably sell off a few.

I go with rotation whenever the display gets too big to manage. I've got well over 500 mattel WWE figures. And try as i have, its impossible to display the whole thing. Especially if you collect other figure lines like i do. So, ive got several boxes in closets and keep the display fresh by keeping one of every wrestler produced on it. I change out the guys who have multiple attires every so often,or if i get a new version of that figure. Some guys do get displayed a few times simultaneously. Such as different era Undertakers or classic HBK, DX HBK ,modern HBK etc....but they go on different shelves. However i find switching things up frequently enough helps to save room, liven up the display, and gives me something to do with the damn things. Lol....eventually though, space permitting, i hope to get the whole sprawling thing back on display again

I collect (or have collected) several different lines over the years, and NONE of my figures are on display. At first, I thought it was simply a case of not having anywhere to display them, but in time, I began to realize that I just didn't want the hassle of maintaining a display between figures taking shelf dives, dust, rotating in and out, etc. I'm perfectly happy to rifle through my storage bins when I want to see my figures (which I do often).

I'm about to have a cull, I just need to find the time to sit down and go threw 6 plastic storage boxes and 2 large cardboard boxes. I've come to the conclusion that when you have so many figs you can't even display them all? You are doing it wrong!
I'm doing it wrong... Ha

Actually am doing that now. I don't have many maybe 30ish all loose, getting rid of all but maybe 10, will get Demon Finn (if and when I find him) but then I am done. Back in 2009 I had hundreds in boxes and loose, had to sell them when I lost my job. Started getting some in the last couple of years just some of my favorite guys. But honestly the desire really isn't there anymore.

No downsizing here. Ive sold a few figures like half of a battle pack or something like that. I know as soon as I sell something I bought for myself in the first place I am going to want it again and will have to buy it back at a higher price.

Nope. Because regardless of what they'll say, most people who downsize end up repurchasing figures for much higher prices. I have repurchased one figure and if I have it now I'm keeping it.
