So I collect mattels (not any of the modern day stars though) I was thinking if I should get into collection AEWs even though I don't watch the brand. Should I start collecting or just collect mattels?

It’s a good line, but your interest in it is really going to depend on your love of the show or not. It is not a line for retro wrestling fans. They’re throwing a few bones here and there with luminaries but they have a ton of restrictions on what they can make pre-2019.
Modern AEW is 98% of the line. And whether some people on here like it or not that’s the way it should be.
If you want to buy one and see how you feel about the line then get Sting, it works as a flashback as well as modern Sting, and it’s also one of their best figures

If you're not into collecting current wrestlers and don't watch the show, it doesn't seem like the line for you. Watch for occasional Luminaries releases like Owen Hart, or maybe releases of long-tenured wrestlers you might already collect to some extent, like Jericho or Sting.

Maybe you would like the LJN figures (which are more like WCW Galoobs)

since you don’t collect current wrestlers, i’d suggest you to look out for the luminaries which is only available in the unmatched series line. luminaries are basically legends with an older look (or current. example, sting) that hasn’t been seen in wwe(f), wcw, and ecw. i guess the best thing to do is to just keep your eyes out and follow up on the forums, twitter, and instagram if you have the latter 2 to be updated on who’s going to be in what sets and if they fit your collection or what not

if you don’t collect current figures, who are you going to get rn
Sting is a legend but in current attire, same with anyone else from past eras like Jericho, Matt Hardy and Dustin Rhodes
Only figures you’ll be able to get will be Corazon de Leon and Owen Hart, those pre orders haven’t even went up yet

Im a firm believer if you have to ask complete strangers what to buy and or collect, then you shouldnt be doing it. Everyone else has different budgets and ways/reasons to collect so asking others seems null and void.
You do you

Weird you'd collect if you don't watch...
I don't watch football so if I were to collect football cards (or something similar) I'd go for the top names, ones that would have resale value later on (Kenny Omega, Jericho, Morley. Or "first in the line" figures maybe would re sell well like JungleBoy, Darby Allin 10 / 15 years down the line.

Why would you buy these figures when you don't even watch their programming?

Do whatever you’d enjoy. You’re the one who’s going to look at the collection. It doesn’t matter what we think about it.

If you're THAT intent on breaking in, just keep a watch when lineups are announced and get the ones that catch your eye.
But echoing many others here, it's hard to imagine you'd get any fulfillment from anyone you're not familiar with. And as far as the Luminaries (which is one for every 12 in the Unmatched series) or any legends line possibilities, those looks I'd guess would be largely more obscure than anything seen in WWE/WCW/ECW.

I use to buy 1:18 scaled Joe's back in the 80s-90s and use them in a custom wrestling ring and some Joe's I customized as well. Creating my own wrestling universe. If you're into that then I recommend them. Otherwise just collect the Unmatched Luminaries that appeal to your needs. |

As far as "Don't Watch but Do Collect"?
*waves*
Hi.
I don't own a TV and sensory processing issues prevent me from watching much more than 20 minutes of a program at a time. Still love the figures, still love the characters, and will continue to collect them despite the last full episode of AEW I could stomach sitting through was the first one I saw when CM Punk returned.
