Question for the loose collectors. Do you display any other lines (Jakks Classic Superstars, Ruthless Aggression etc.) with your Mattel Elites?
Thinking about using these lines to fill some of the holes in my Elite collection.

Absolutely. Everything from the Jakks TTL > Jakks RA > Mattel Basic/Elite/Ultimate > AEW Unrivaled/Unmatched are fairly cross-compatible. I've collected since Hasbro WWF, and those 3 I mention, I tend to use in any display. There may be slight scaling issues with the Jakks RAs, but... sometimes, it just can't be helped.
Case in point, I literally just got from storage the Jakks TTLs of Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, to go with the Jakks WWF scratch logo announce tables, to go at ringside of the Mattel UE Attitude Era ring. I would use Mattel Ross/Lawler, but their Mattel figs are more circa 2014, whereas the Jakks TTLs are truly of the late 90s era. The Jakks TTLs of them were at the start of the Real Scan tech, so they'll pair well with the arena set I'm doing.

Oh definitely. I love all forms of wrestling figures - I consider them an art form..... an art gallery generally doesn't display the works of just one artist.... I love seeing the different variations on these colorful characters and how they've been brought to figure form!

Nope. Everything gets their own shelves. They can be in the same cabinet but not on the same shelves because except for the females Jakks CS/RA and CSDA/DA are so much larger than Mattel’s. I do have some Jakks females and R3’s mixed in with my Mattel’s but those are the only Jakks that are somewhat in scale with Mattel’s. Even then they are back row figures and replaced once Mattel releases one. I think the only Jakks I still have with my Mattel’s are Benoit, Lita, Stephanie and Luna. Sherri, Trish, Angle, Edge, Flair, Kane, Taker (aba) and the Hardy’s have all been replaced with actual Mattel’s. Actually both Mattel and Jakks Sherri figures are still in my Mattel shelves.
Oh and I do have the Chella Uncensored Dynamite Kid with my Mattel’s.

Only have a few jazzwares figures displayed, and it's usually displayed in the back.
The only jakks thing in my collection are a handful of heads I used for Mattel fix ups.

I don’t think I do anymore. I used to display Jakks Sherri with Macho but since Mattel made one of her I replaced it with that. Only exception would be a miscellaneous shelf.

No way. I bought a AEW Cody to use as a placeholder and EVERY day I looked at it like Pee-Wee looked at the snakes in Big Adventure...  |

some jakks figures are actually spot on! R3's go alright and some wrestlers (mostly Ruthless Aggression era) have heads that seem to be in scale. So i do use a lot of that! If I do use a jakks (like Mr Fuji) I swap their buff arms with skinny ones and they are great!
If a wrestler was a big guy they also go well or like the Sherris and most females.
If you take in mind UE as a different scale (more like AEW scale) they also match some Jakks Deluxe, like Andre and Abyss IMO go well with UE's
I collect DCUC but they are to short. McFarlane to big.
Most Marvel Legends also look weird next to them.
SHF to small...

On occasion, I include a TTL, R3, or RA as long as they're not too out of scale, but I try to keep it limited to guys that Mattel hasn't made (Benoit for example).

I don't have a huge loose collection but I keep my figures displayed by wrestler. So the guys that has figures from Jazwares and Mattel(Cody,Cole,BD,Black,Andrade etc) will be displayed together. I don't own a single Jakks figure but if I did,I wouldn't display them together.

I display GI Joes with my Wrestlers because little people should have representation too.
