When buying loose how important are the accessories to you. I feel anything that is entrance attire or belts are a must but some things like tables, chairs, etc. I can do without if it means getting the figure at a lower price. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

If it's weapons, I don't worry about it. Same with titles even unless it's the only release

Not needed. I have plenty of belts and chairs already. Don't have any desire for a rubber torso casket or awful bulky plastic shirt.
Maybe if it was dm macho man's robe or eg roodes robe I might care.

I have more accessories than figures. I collect Championship Title Belts, and the Kings' Crowns, Scepters and Robes.

If it's anything other than a cloth shirt or interchangeable hands then I've probably got it already. |

Well, firstly I don’t buy loose figures. But as far as accessories go In general all I care about are wrestler specific items (things like Triple H’s sledge and water bottle, Bearer’s urn, LOD pads, etc) entrance robes and titles. But generic things like TLC or the surfboards I toss out anyway so if were to buy a loose figure it would be the same.

I buy lots of loose figures.
Generally I just want the accessories relating to clothing/attire or titles that I do not have. Also, iconic weapons like my black bat, or HHH's sledgehammer.
Generic items I don't really care about.

Depends on what I’m buying it for. Typically I buy my figures NIB from retail. If I’m buying loose it’s generally for fixups and/or parts. If the accessory is not needed for what I’m intending to use it for then obviously I don’t care if it comes with it or not as long as the price is adjusted to account for it not being complete. Now if it’s a rare occasion where it’s a figure that I originally passed on and now need then I would want the accessories that would go with that character. So if it’s weights, surf board, or any other disposable accessory then I don’t care but if it’s a shirt, hat, glasses, etc then I would want the figure to be complete. Tables and chairs I probably could do without too.

We all seem to agree. Ever wonder what Mattel could do with the figures if they weren't spending money on the useless accessories?

I could care less about accessories, I was glad Mattel stopped putting them with the battle-packs. I have about 3 bins full of accessories from Jakks and 2 from Mattel that are taking up space for no reason.

Generic accessories like chairs and weights and such don't bother me being missing. Also, I don't care about display stands, either the old or new ones. Everything else matters though for me.

It all depends. If it's a character-specific accessory like entrance gear or signature props (Papa Shango's wand, Boogeyman's staff and clock, Sting's bat, etc.) I'd like to have them. Same if it's a title belt I don't have yet. I won't even turn down generic props most of the time.
If it's something inconsequential or the figure originally didn't come with an accessory that's okay.

I prefer buying them loose without any accessories. I actually wish Mattel would sell elites in a standard cardboard/ bubble plastic with no accessories at a decent price point.

This is subjective but when it's figures like Legion of Doom you would expect to have their entrance gear included (it's almost a must). Defining moments Bret Hart should at least include the jacket and so on. But if the figure is highly sought after it probably won't affect the consumer if it doesn't include the accessories (Bundy and Von Erichs come to mind).

If the accessory is character specific, like a jacket w Bret or hbk entrance gear I want it included. Belts and other things like chairs are whatever

I hardly buy loose but when I do I want it complete. I guess I’m a little weird when it comes to that but I do want it as it came
