I'll never understand dudes only collecting the womens figures. What would you say to a woman who only collects men's figures? I've seen a few out there. Not on here, but they are out there. I've seen woman on social media who only collects AEW Men's figures. And another who only collects Bullet Club figures. They are out there. My guess is the implication is that guys collecting only women could be the strange/obsessed type of fan over the women. |

Oh man... if you... If you could see some of the things I've seen on certain corners of the internet. Men are (I believe) more likely to be stalkers, true. That recent horror stuff with Alexa Bliss comes to mind.
But you would be shocked to see some of the stuff women say about guys like Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre. I myself attempt to remain respectful, but damn are women thirsty.

I’m sure they are the same. Idk if women just express themselves that way in places only they know about, but whenever it’s from men it sticks out like a sore thumb. |

And believe you me, when The New Day would name drop the site and call the fangirls out for their insanity...  |

This thread only reminds me that I hope they start putting women in the Legends line. I need a Sherri that’ll go with HBK and Bam Bam Bigelow’s main squeeze....

I have zero Targets nearby. With as fast as those things sell out, I'd never get ahold of whoever they release. I'm already upset over no chance of ever getting Elite Zelina. *Lights torch and grabs pitchfork* DOWN WITH EXCLUSIVES! DOWN! DOWN I SAY! |

When I started getting into this line about 6 years ago, I started out just buying the women figures....I think Paige Elite 35 and Trish from the Hall of Fame series were the first two I got. After that I expanded to tag teams, legends, etc.... and have bought a ton more than I planned on. However I haven’t displayed anything that I’ve gotten before now. I still have all the figures in package since purchase except for some I bought specifically for my kids. Now I think I’m going to start opening up and displaying a set(I always try to buy two for display options). My goal is to have the set-up done before the end of the year. So if you count everything out or coming out through Elite 85 I’m coming up with 70 Elites....does that sound right to everyone here? When Mattel Announced the 1st basic Mickie Figure, I decided I was going to buy only the womens figures, which I did up until a few years back when I decided not to buy Foley & Stephanie battlepack and a some of the the terrible less articulated basics, and just then buy the elites. I am at the point that, some years back deciding to buy some of the elites of legends/ flashbacks aside from other non wrestling figures, I have run out of storage space, weather walls to hang on them on or whatever (ultimate editions wont hang on walls annoying!). So I have been downsizing a bit, selling off multiple earlier figures of some of the women and keeping one or two of the more recent most realistic or iconic looking Elites ones (IMO), as I dont need 5 figures of one person. Except for Paige (british pride! XD). I am probably going to sell off the early Natalyas next among others as the Elite 74 is THE figure.

I am in the UK but could help you with getting a Zelina, drop me a line. I wont rip you off!. The exclusives are very annoying, but recently Smyths over here seem to be getting them in, and about ruddy time too. Cost a bomb to get that Collectros paige elite. The liv one still goes for a obscene amount now. silly. |

The women's Elites after Series 72 seem smaller compared to earlier Elites and most basics. Am I mistaken?

Was gonna start a thread but figured I'd post here first. Is Shayna's takeover belt the same as her first elite?
Also I just saw chynas wrestlemania elite for the first time & the belt is dull. Why?

Yes and no....When E72 Becky was released (and 74 Nattie) it was brought up to Steve about them being shorter than other women (example, elite 53 Bliss)...Steve responded asking if the new figure were too small or if maybe the old figures were just to big...Giving us the idea that instead of having generic bodies, womens figures were going to be adjusted properly for scaling......However we quickly figured out that was wrong/a lie as Elite 82 Bliss and Elite 84 Sasha are both the exact same heights as their previous versions and is a complete rehash of all the same parts excluding where the double knee joints were added. |

Ok, what does it mean that I read this and my brain immediately screamed "Chinese New Year"... But really, I wish I could say "The women's figures are grossly out of scale" but, sadly, it isn't just the women. I will say that a bunch of the old Elite-Styled women's figures suffered from the same leg issue as that new Karrion Kross elite in that they had four calf muscles. I sit here looking over at the Renee Young Monstrosity and shaking my head because that's just an utter abomination of a figure. And then I see my Becky Lynch UE figure standing next to my Charlotte UE and I shake my head again because somehow they made the UE Becky even smaller than her E72! And don't even get me started on the women's/men's comparative scale! (Put Zelina's figure next to one of Drew McIntyre's and just try to re-enact that bit they did on TV, I dare you...) Bottom line is, I love Mattel's figures. I loved Jakks' figures. I love Jazwares AEW figures. Give me wrestling figures, and I'm there pal. But NOBODY has managed to conquer the mountain sized problem that is "Consistent Scaling" yet. |

Finally broke-down my first batch of Wimens Elites….38 so far….I’m still missing some but I should definitely have the complete set ready and displayed in the next few months.
And of course there’s the new ones just coming out now that I’ll need to get.

Are you saying you are going to buy every single women's elite there is??
Is this actual elites or are you including the Elite Basics?
I'm just curious about some of this because, first of all, if you only buy the official Elites, you're gonna have a ton of holes in your setup plus be missing out on some great figures.
Second, some of those repeat-customer elites are pretty similar. You need to ask yourself, do you really need four Alexa Bliss figures with the same style attire? No, put your hand down Nivro, we all know where you stand on this 
Third, if you are determined to get all the Elites, do keep in mind that for some of the older talent, the Basics might be better. The FTIL Basic Alicia Fox figure is hands down the best figure we got of her and, IMHO, the Survivor Series Elite isn't even in the same league.
Just some thoughts.

The Survivor Series Elite Alicia is the best likeness wise.

I'm just working on the Elites first before I move to the basics....though I am buying basics right now such as the new Scarlett,etc... I will work the basics into either their own display or one full display in the future. |
