Thinking about E69 Ricochet and Lashley...
I was wondering what you guys do with your customs after Mattel officially releases the wrestler in their official collection?
Personally I sell them or get rid of them and use the Mattel version, many times if I have used Jakks parts I put them back together, what about you?

Depends on how good it looks and how much money and time I put into it. Sometimes the custom looks better than the mattel release, in which case, I don't buy the mattel figure and just keep the custom.

My custom elite blue Andrade will be kept as the attire is much better than the white his official will be, I may do a simple headswap.

I Wouldn’t do customs of guys you know will get released shortly. However, I’ve seen some good customs that do look even better then Mattel released ones

I customized a blue Shamrock. I’ll keep that one because I’m pretty sure the body style I chose for it wouldn’t agree with Mattel’s or Bill’s choice (not that they’re ever making Shamrock again). I put a lot of time into it so even if they surprise me and get a Blue Shamrock into production, mine will be better.
However, I’d never make a custom Matt Riddle. Gonna just wait for SDCC be happy with whatever they give me.

I would only make customs of wrestlers that Mattel would probably never produce

I have a couple of little cousins that collect WWE figures, so I sometimes give them my extra figures (including customs) that I don't want or need anymore.

I do head swaps sometimes depending on the attire they release. They’re never gonna do a Naomi in her colorful gear so I’m def head swapping IF they ever make her again 😂

I kept all my Jakks customs after official releases, I’d sometimes modify them if new figures had better headscans or updated tattoos/parts etc though. I’d love to get back into customising Mattel’s but it seems like an expensive hobby to get back into after 10 years.

I’ve only got customs of ones I don’t believe Mattel will make. Ex: Giant Gonzales, Owen Hart, Steiner Brothers, Headbangers, Smoking Gunns, Nailz, Patriot, Mantaur, Ahmed Johnson.
That one custom I made that Mattel also did was Syxx. Exactly the same attire. I preferred theirs over mine so I gave him to my son to play with. After a year he wanted it recustomized into his CAW from 2K17

I never have bought any but would be tempted to get my top 5 Mattel wants like a Giant Gonzalez, Steiners, Liger, Glacier, Mortis in custom form if those never get released

I didn't vote because honestly it depends on the figure. How good the custom is, how good mattels is, attire variation, character, etc. 90% of my stuff is Attitude Era, so I may keep it and use it in a different part of my display, I may try to repurpose it to another custom, or if I cant do either of those I sell it. I don't make many customs anymore tho.
