Prefer elites but one of each character. After that any look I find interesting.

MY RAMBLINGAccording to a VERY helpful list compiled on this site over the weekend, (thank you list maker guy) Was It? Seems like it's been made and maintained before....
List of every superstar made.
MY QUESTION
One Of Each? Just Your Favourites? Completionist? Divas only? Basics only? What type of collector are you?
I now collect loose. Every Elite, and then random figures that I like. Exclusives, certain Basics and 2 packs.
But I started out just making sure I had one of everyone MOC.
And that's why I compiled the list in the first place to make sure I had that all.
I've sold a lot now, you just need too much room and you never get to look at them.

I love the Hasbro era and completed that collection on card some years back. I'm now starting to look at the Legends and Flashback figures as I think they look awesome, even though I'm a bit late to the party!
I'll focus on all the guys from the mid 80's to around 1996 as these are the ones I remember the most and when I loved to watch wrestling. This will be a different kind of collecting for me, as I'll buy figures to display and enjoy them as opposed to storing them to keep them 'mint'. I also won't be looking to complete a whole line, just buy figures I like.
Great topic!

For me it's all about my figure fed. If I can use them in that I buy them. That's usually the deciding factor so I don't over spend and keep the wife happy. I also will buy some figures twice if it's a debut or someone who most likely won't get are again.

Completionist of these eras to have at least one Elite of the following eras:
Golden Era/Hogan Era New Generation Era Bret/HBK era Attitude Era Ruthless Aggression Era Today's Geek Era to a much lesser degree due to the lack of charisma.
I try to get one Elite of each mid-carder up to the main event. But for the GOATs like HBK, Austin, Taker, Savage, Flair, Hogan, Warrior, Bret I get each and every Elite they make of those guys. I also get every Rollins Elite since he is pretty much the only guy I care about today.

I collect Elite, multiple of these:
Edge Undertaker Michaels Triple H Austin Rock Kane Big Show Goldust Warrior Macho Man
Some others like Bryan, Punk, Lesnar, Sting, Hogan, Flair, Rollings Roman, Ambrose, Batista, Orton I have like 2 or 3 of them. For others like Sheamus, and other legends, only 1.
And I dont have all the legends (I dont have JYD, Papa Shango, Godfather, Raod Dogg, Mr. Ass, Earthquake, Hill Billy jim, to name a few)
In the current time Im trying to resize my collection to those that I really wanna keep.

Basically whomever I'm a fan of, I'll get one of a certain superstar unless I'm a fan of the attire or just want to get everything single elite which is rare for me. Rollins so far is the only one whose elites I have all of at the moment, AJ will be another. Most of my collection are elites, the few basics I have are only there because I couldn't wait for an elite (Aries, non-Demon Finn, and the first Kevin Owens basic) but besides that, it's just mostly current stars because I felt like I already have enough of the past stars (NGE, RAE, and EA, etc.) that I don't care for them anymore since most are long gone. It's time to get with the times

I collect moc, with a focus on the AE and Golden era. I live mostly by the one of each rule but make exceptions for guys with multiple cool attires like Michaels or Savage.

I collect at least one of each performer released in Basic. Update when there is a significant change in attire. Collect nearly all variants of female performers. Do not collect Elites, except for women, build-a-figures, and most Flashbacks / Legends. Only Basics, build-a-figures and women (including certain Elite women) are displayed. The amount of people who only collect a few figures, or just figures of their favorites, or just Legends / Flashbacks is scary. No love for the current product at all? Is the end in sight for WWE figures / figure collecting?

Just my favourites, Elite only unless it's a really uniquely shaped guy like Big Show or Mark Henry where their regular figures are just as amazing, sometimes more.

I only collect Legend wrestlers that fall into my top 10 of favorites. Put it this way I've been collecting since Mattel took over in 2010 and I only have 45 figs. I have zero interest in collecting every wrestler or any modern figs. I don't even display all 45 at once. I currently have 10 displayed which is the most I've ever had displayed. Usually it's only 4 or 5. I'm not into the Congo line displays. Too cluttered and nothing really stands out. Obviously everybody is different and there is no right or wrong way to collect or display. I like that you stick to your rule - out of curiosity I would love to know the 45 that made the cut - any pics of your set up? No pics at the moment. Unless you go to my IG page @prowrestlingmagsandphotos. The 10 that I collect are Warrior, Sting, Savage, Undertaker, Rude, Lex, Kerry, Hawk, Animal and Hulk. I originally bought a few others as well that I have pics of but I ended up giving those to my kids. A few I even sold like the latest Papa Shango.

I initially got into it when Paige was still hot and her Elite figure had both the NXT Women's and the Divas Championship. I was going for divas primarily because they were more hard to find. Since then I've just gotten wrestlers that I liked in Elite form. The women I don't mind getting as Basics since they're practically elites anyway.

For a while I'd collect all Elite bodied figures, minus Legends, until there just got to be too much of them so I limited myself to the Elite series only. Eventually I stopped collecting when I was having to buy more five tier bookshelves to display my figures and that there was no end game.

I used to collect everything, pick up any new figures but now I don't have the money to get everything so I just collect figures that I enjoy

I do the 1 of every character with some exceptions.
I collect elites only unless I buy a basic for a part swap or womens figures because they're the same thing as their elites.
I occasionally will buy a second of someone for entrance gear, accessories or to have a change of character down the road in my pic fed like for example Rocky Maivia turns into The Rock or The Ringmaster turns into Steve Austin.
The only reason I want one of each elite ever is to have the biggest roster possible for my pic fed. Endless possibilities.

I don't collect to display. I collect to play and customize. So anything that looks like I can create something unique I'll get
