Just out of curiosity, do you take in consideration those who have had character changes? For example, if you have Papa Shango are you not buying Godfather or getting rid of Shango to acquire Godfather? Or do you recognize these are two completely different characters and its OK to have both? If that's the case then how strict is your interpretation of a different character? Is Rocky Maivia different than The Rock? APA Farooq and NOD Farooq different enough? Nash/Diesel, Hall/Razor, 123 Kid/X-Pac? Are they too similar to have two of? Nash and Diesel aren't much different so would have to pick one or the other but would also get Oz if they made him?

For me it depends on the character. But it also hasn't come up for me too much. The best example for me is Cody Rhodes. I have one already (face mask) And I would of bought a stardust (and kept both) at some point because they are so different. But i didn't like the first elite and I doubt we will ever see a 2nd now. I waited for the RSC Scott hall and skipped the DM Razor. Because I never really watched him as razor so there is no attachment for me, same for nash / Disel. I am considering getting the New Day version of Big E and I will get rid of my old one when I do. But it will need to be a really good figure and hopefully come with both tag belts. If i don't like the new one I won't get it and I might pass of kofi and woods too. But with most of them one is enough for me. I have JBL i don't need a bradshaw. I have WM3 hogan I don't need an NWO hogan (if one was made) and so on. Generally I don't want multiples of the same guy nor do i want to get rid of an old one for a new one, but I may make an occasional exception. Although I haven't yet

It depends.
I only want one of each gimmick normally.
Macho man is an exception I make.
For instance I had rocky maivia and apa farooq, but when I got the nod 2 pack I gave away those two other figures. Same with e29 Andre, now gone from my collection since the heenan family Andre.
I own both razor and nwo Scott hall though

Depends on the character. I god the APA Faarooq, but didn't get the NOD Faarooq. I got JBL, but didn't get APA Bradshaw. I got both Papa Shango and Godfather. So it really just depends on the guy and the gimmick, I got X-Pac, but didn't get 1-2-3 Kid. I got Diesel and Nash, I got Razor and Hall.

I only collect one of each superstar but there are exceptions
Triple H - suit and wrestling gear
steph - same
jbl - wanted both suited and wrestling gear, but he doesnt wrestle
Regal - same but i already have the elite and its too rare to sell it
Lesnar - Promo , and match
Kane - demon, not demon, suit
Balor - same
but the deal is im a current roster only collector. i dont buy flashbacks\ retired guys or dead wrestlers.. unless i want a guy from the past in my picfed, it has to be the oldest version possible, but i sell him afterwards.
i sold both corporate kanes for that reason, selling a previous version of a figure to get the new one (heyman), selling or using fodder of all guys that got released or retired.
if shango was wrestling today, i would want shango. if he then changed into godfather, i would sell the shango. if he appears on raw with one gimmick and on smackdown with the other, i keep both
i kept both kanes at the time of the seth rollins feud

I have one of each wrestler from Jakks TTL to now.. and generally try to get alternate gimmicks. Dude Love, Stardust, Hollywood Hogan, Surfer Sting... those are all alternates that I have.
A new color shorts for John Cena or different tank top for Dean Ambrose? Pass.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

If they go through a major gimmick overhaul of sorts then I'll buy a second version of them. I have both The Shield and non-Shield versions of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, for example, but try to limit myself to one of each "superstar".

Like it's been said on here, it really does depend on the talent that you are purchasing the figure of.
For example, I get every Nash/Diesel figure. But with the LOD, I only have the Flashback versions in their red shoulder pads.
It really just depends on who your absolute favourites are and you are more likely to buy multiple variations of said superstar.

I tend to buy one of each unless there is a big character/look/gimmick/attire change.

one of every character, so had Cody and Stardust. If a guy drastically changes his attire i'll update his figure as well.
