Am I the only one that believes we don't need a bunch of the same guys? I mean are the figures to help with shirt sales? Superstars that are constantly made:
Roman Reigns AJ Styles John Cena Finn Balor Kevin Owens ...just to name a few.
There are so many other past and present guys that need at least one nod...

I have 2 x Austin, 2 x the Rock, 2 x Undertaker, 2 x Goldust, 2 x Triple H, 2 x Jericho, 2 x Kane. Any other multiples of the same are different gimmicks. (e.g. JBL/Bradshaw or 123 Kid/X-Pac)

When people stop buying those guys and when they are no longer prominent in wwe then they will stop making them. We don’t “NEED” more but it’s not about you or I or anyone here mostly. ..but give respect to 70’s champ Billy ing Graham already holy crap. He only just pioneered this whole thing you all like so much

Every day there’s a new kid or collector buying their first one so yeah it makes perfect sense for Mattel to keep releasing them.

Since I just collect Finn I'm glad they make multiples.

Depends who it is.
I’ve got tons of warriors, Savage, hbk and undertaker. Still buy more too. Other guys not so much.

The current stars on TV are needed to anchor the series. Retailers want the big names on the shelves.

I have 3 Roman Reigns figures which is at least 1 too many. I have 5 AJ Styles figures which is at least 3 too few. I have 6 John Cena and 3 Randy Orton figures which is just right.
It all depends on whether each figure is a different, unique, and visually stimulating attire.

For me personally it depends on the wrestler. I will buy every version made of... Roddy Piper Sting Bret Hart Kerry Von Erich Kevin Von Erich Triple H Randy Orton Chris Jericho (long hair and tights)
And as I have said plenty of times in the past I don’t care what anyone says I would love if they release a surfer Sting in every wave of Elites, Basics and Battle Packs they release...I would gladly buy they all.

Bill explains it in his latest Q&A from WrestleMania Axxess. Those guys are always in a line to cater to the young fans that want an action figure of their favorite wrestler. Stores like Walmart and Kmart do not want shelves of figures consisting only of guys that collectors are looking for.
