E52 Shamrock. (Only cause it was a figure I really went hunting for. Most my figs were ordered online.) Last October E52 hit my area & then at the same time stores got a random assortment shipment of old elites. Since that happened they never restocked E52. Then just last month (or late May) I picked up Shamrock from TRU. This. Shamrock is the one figure I never found in my area. I ordered all of mine online but it’s not the same as actually finding the figure in stores. E 52 Ken Shamrock is my personal crown jewel. |

DM Shinsuke. Wasn't even looking for it but my gf and I made a random trip to TRU and checked out the figures and saw a lone Shinsuke standing there. We knew immediately we had to get it. They were running a buy one, get one half off sale too so we ended up getting the Ric Flair DM figure as well. The Shinsuke figure set me off to the races as far as collecting goes. He was probably my 3rd and now I'm over 60 total since I got him.

Elite Honky tonk man.
My first ever figure is still my crown jewel. Maybe the retrofest Honky will surpass it

Probably my DM signed Sting and Hitman figures.

Elite 16 CM Punk.
I lost my mind when I found him in stores. My favorite figure, to date.

We did this before not too long ago. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/353093/holy-grail-collectionSince my reply hasn’t changed, I’ll just quote myself. The centerpiece of my collection is the Mattel Toys R Us exclusive Mr. McMahon. Without Vincent Kennedy McMahon…no, I don’t even want to think about what the World would be like without V. K. M. I would probably have a lot of money in my pocket if it weren’t for him, but then I wouldn’t have the “greatest collection” of “gold” and “leather”. The holy grail of my collection is the Mattel Defining Moments Undisputed WWE WCW World Champion, Chris Jericho. My favorite Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainer of all time, I seriously thought this figure was never going to be made. I was satisfied enough with having his Jakks WrestleMania X8 figure. I’m glad I have a representation of Y2J's greatest achievement. The crown jewel of my collection is my Ultra Deluxe Undisputed WWE World Championship Title Belt. This represents Vince McMahon’s greatest achievement, completely ruling over the World of Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainment. It is my favorite design of all time. If I had to give up my entire collection, this would be the only piece I could never part with. At one time in my life, I wanted to be buried with it. After my Prince was born, my Queen convinced me otherwise, with the idea that he may want it for himself. When he was old enough to talk, he confirmed her suggestion. You can view my 3 special items, along with the rest of my collection, in the link below. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/280200/patrick-stars-championship-title-beltsWoops, my bad. Must've missed or forgotten about that thread. |

Woops, my bad. Must've missed or forgotten about that thread. Centerpiece, Holy Grail, and Crown Jewel may mean the same thing, but they are different. |

It was definitely E11 CM Punk. That thing was impossible to find (especially in Chicago) and I may or may not have slipped a store employee some cash...

Mine is the RSC Jakks Classic Superstars Edge. It was the first figure my wife gave to me on our Wedding day.

Hard to pick just one. Probably Defining Moments Ricky Steamboat, that one took me the longest to track down, paid more than I should have for it but Steamboat is one of my favorite wrestlers and that was the first attire I ever saw him in (started watching wrestling in 1989, only WWF because WCW/NWA only came on cable and I didn't get cable until the mid 90s. The first time I saw Ricky Steamboat was SummerSlam 91). Tied for second place would be the Defining Moments Macho King and Ultimate Warrior from their WM7 Match, two of my favorite wrestlers of all-time, one of my favorite matches of all-time, and these were the first two figures I purchased from Mattel and they sort of got the ball rolling on my collection.
As for favorite figure, I have the Series 3 Hasbro Ultimate Warrior (purple trunks) in very good condition on an English card. For those who don't know, this is probably the hardest figure to find on an English card from the Hasbro line.

Hmmm ... probably L5 Rick ‘The Model’ Martel Still looking for that one myself. I passed on it the first time I saw it and purchased just Macho Man and Bam Bam, when I went back to pick up the Model and Akeem they were both gone and I never saw them in stores again. Really wish they would release another Model (either in pink or pale blue). Hell, I'd even take a Strike Force one. |

I changed my mind a few times just while writing this.
Because they aren’t making any new ones. DM Hogan

A lot of people here are mentioning different figures, and they are all great. For me, I specifically collect figures I plan to get signed. So for me, it has to be Bayley's first figure. Of all the autographs I have, I probably treasure this one the most because this wasn't something I got signed at a random autograph signing, a comic con of some sort, out waiting outside before/after a show. I got this signed when I went to visit the WWE Performance Center the day before the 2016 Royal Rumble for, what I believe, was just their 2nd All Access event they had there. After we all got checked in, we were told to go upstairs to the eating area and that we may see some faces we recognize, and it was all the top NXT stars at that time, and I sat at Bayley's end of a table. We had a great chat for about 20-30min before the rest of the day got going, and interacted with her throughout most of the rest of the day. At the end, we got a chance to meet with everyone and get autographs, and I got her to sign this figure. She seemed to be really happy to be signing a figure of her own, and that was really cool to see. I'm glad at how great the paint marker on this came out, but I do wish I knew then what I know now about colors and would have gotten it in a different color that pops out more while on display. But still, definitely my favorite piece of my collection for sure. P.S. If anyone saw that episode of Swerved that took place at the PC, that was the day I was there and saw it all go down.  |
