Sorry In advance I know there is a checklist (though it isn’t updated)
I’ve decided to get my daughter every women’s basic figure (1 of each wrestler) . Does anyone have a list of all women’s basics ?
Also elites women that were never made into basics.
Thank you all in advance

Ok. *cracks knuckles* SO! First of all, you're going to want to look at the wrestling figure database. There's a link for it on the forum here somewhere (not sure where, just go hunting on this section). If you can't find the link, just google "Wrestling Figure Database" and it should come up. That will give you a great place to start looking and I believe it IS updated. Now, for a listing of figures. Some women, such as Natalya, have a slew of great basic figures. I can't begin to tell you which one is best there but you should have plenty to choose from. Series 61 was my first Natalya figure so I'm pretty partial to that one. I think she's nice plus she comes before the switch (see below) Other women, like Io Shirai, only have one basic and, in Io's case, it just came out. However, I should mention that Io's basic is so new and her Elite has pegwarmed so hard that on Ringside right now you can get her Elite figure for cheaper than her Basic. Just a heads up on that one. I'm sure you know this by now (or maybe not) but the older women's basics were essentially elite figures. Because of this, barring any cost issues, if the basic comes before the style-switch cutoff (which I believe is somewhere in the 70s for series number) then I suspect your daughter will have much more fun playing with them due to greatly increased mobility. Again, barring any cost issues, for this reason I would try and pick up as many pre-switch Basics as possible. For example, Nia Jax's first basic (Series 72) is lightyears ahead of her second (Series 79) in playability due to the style switch. The truth is for these that it isn't just a simple matter of which women have basics. Most of the current NXT women only have a basic as their only figure with Candice LeRae being the exception who only has an Elite. In these cases, it's really simple. Basic 122 Chelsea Green, 120 Scarlett, Basic 117 Toni Storm, Basic 116 Dakota Kai, 115 Tegan Nox, 114 Rhea Ripley, 113 Mia Yim, and so on.And that's just the last couple sets. (Note: Rhea has an Elite figure if you want and Scarlett, Chelsea, and Toni are the chase figures for those sets. I recommend Chase Scarlett and Non-Chase Toni. Chase Scarlett is much more family friendly (imho) while Toni Storm comes sculpted for the regular edition and the chase paint job doesn't match. Chelsea can go either way but I'm partial to the purple because not too many women's figures come in that color scheme and it makes her feel special to be in the purple pastels.)
However, other women such as Bayley, Natalya, Alicia Fox, and so on, have a bunch of basics to choose from. In those cases it's a matter of comparing which ones are most appealing, combined with cost and articulation (pre or post style switch). Some key pieces to pick up in my book are the NXT Takeover Eva Marie (she just came back to TV so it's nice to have her), Series 23 Alicia Fox, Series 21 Beth Phoenix, and Series 69 Tamina. Oh, and if you are looking for the Bella Twins, your best bet is picking up one of their many battle packs. I personally like Battle Pack 43 for the Bellas. Ooof, and I almost forgot. Cameron, who was with Naomi in the Funkadactyls, was only ever released in that battle pack. Series 24 from what I see.
Oh, and a heads up for cost stuff. I'm warning you now, some of the older women's figures can get very pricey. Michelle McCool is a pretty popular women's wrestler who only ever had one Mattel figure released and it was about 10 years ago (I think). It's a basic but when I finally got ahold of mine, she was used-loose with some paint rub and still cost me about 40 bucks shipped. If you're looking for MOC on some of those older, one or two-off women's figures like Michelle McCool (Series 7), Rosa Mendes (Series 31), Layla (Series 15), and so on, be prepared to pay for them. I've been hunting for a reasonably priced Layla for years now, still haven't found one. Bottom line is that you are in for a bit of a haul to try and catch up here. The best resource I have for you is the Wrestling Figures Database and then cross reference it with your market site of choice. Most of the women's basics from the past 10 series or so I believe are still available on Ringside Collectibles. They've been pretty constant about putting out one woman per basic set and many of them are First Time In Line figures. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor and please know that I am a nearly 40 year old woman who has spent the last four years trying to acquire one figure of every woman and still haven't succeeded in my goal yet. (Mostly because I keep getting sidetracked with other lines and, well, MEN) |

(Mostly because I keep getting sidetracked with other lines and, well, MEN) Thank you very much, I was able to find the database, I was able to come up with 68 unique women across both lines. My daughter is fairly young so some of these (Mae young, Wendy, McCool, etc ) I may not get for her as she doesn’t know then and just plays with them(destroys them). I just figured it would be cool to try to get most/all if they are affordable . |

In that case I should probably give a heads up then.
Certain figures, such as the Elite Sensational Sheri (her only figure), and Basic 58 Bayley come with small parts. Some figures come with headbands (Bayley), crowns (Sherri), Glasses/goggles (Becky Lynch's FTIL), and so on. Depending on how young your daughter is you may want to avoid those figures or, at the very least, make sure the parts are off the figure first. I doubt any child would choke on a 2mm headband but it could still be an unpleasant experience if things go sour.
I don't know how young your daughter is though.
I'd say the best place to start is Ringside Collectibles. Grab the last 10 series or so of Women's basics and go from there. (Again, Io Shirai's Elite is cheaper, but that one is up to you). Would be a good way to get the ball rolling quickly without digging into the secondary market.

There's really no reason not to get the Elite Io over the Basic. The Elite is a fantastic figure and I don't understand why it sits around.
In a similar vein, it might make more sense to get the Elite Zelina with the cool entrance gear rather than pay almost the same price for the BP one.
What women have gotten Elites but never Basics? Asuka (if you don't count the Monsters one), Kairi, Shayna, and Candice stand out there. And Raquel has an Elite scheduled but I haven't heard anything about a basic. After them it's mostly Legend talents like Sherri and Wendi Richter, I think?
Some recent Elites can be found loose for really good prices too, competitive with the price of Basics. If you catch an off-hours auction you can get an typically expensive one for a good price. Not along ago I picked up another Kairi for a custom for $16.50.

She's clearly also Indi Hartwell's adoptive mother and Dexter Lumis' Mother in Law.
(In all seriousness, he means Candice LeRae. She's in Elite 87. She's got this enchanted, poison fairy attire that I bet most young girls would find nifty.)
