What would (or did) make you quit collecting WWE figures?
Personally, I would quit if they changed the general scale of the figures (like if they made them 5")
Or if they stopped using realscan heads.
That's about it for me. What about you guys?

When then end Ruthless Aggression Style figures ill be done. I dunno if ill save all my RAs or sell them. I know i had 1 of every wrestler that had a BCA figure. When they stopped and went to TTL and R3s i just didnt like them so stopped. The classic line got me started again and into RAs. The day RAs stop will the end of my wrestling figure days forever

Agreed. Body style changes really irritate me. When RA ends, so will my fig collecting days. I stopped back in the day when they went from TTL to R3 and recently got back in around last October.

If I finally got a Macho Man I would feel that my collection is complete. I'd still get some older, important names like Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkle... but really I keep buying figs because of the hole left in my heart, and my shelf from not having and official Macho Man.

If World Wrestling Entertainment went bust and the company closed then we would all be screwed. I suppose if Jakks lost there liscense and a new company started might put me off.

I would stop collecting figures if my parents ran into major financial issues because bills come before figures. When I become an adult I might stop collecting because it might cost too much money to keep up with all of the new figures coming out. If jakks stops making figures and any other company starts making them, then I would mostly likely stop collecting too.

I stopped collecting when JAKKS started doing R3. RA brought me back.

I'll stop collecting once Jakks either loses the WWE license or stops making the RA style figures. It seems like the majority of people who responded to this thread would do the same.
Although, I will probably go back and get all of the RAs and CSs that I missed out on.

If i ever got to a point where i would prioritise Figure collecting over anything in life. If i drove around for miles looking for figure it would push my self conciousness over the edge, but i know some of you guys do this and im glad you happily do it, but its a personal thing.

The end of the CS line. If and when the line is done, I'll go back and collect the ones I've missed and then I'll be done. I'd save up for a CS 1/100 figure or two and then I'll be done with collecting figures. I've put a lot of time and money into the CS line and when that is done, so am I.

Im currently in the process of selling my collection. Because it's costing to much money and plus Im getting older.

If Jakks stop producing them and wwe brought some new toy company in. however if the quality was good, and the height was the same, then i could make an exception.

I stopped once I got my CSDA Bret Hart. I was starting to run out of space for my MOCs (don't have that much collection storage where I live), and since I already had a CS Flair, Piper and Mr. Perfect, I came to the decision that once I acqiured a Bret, I'd have my classic childhood heroes, and would be satisfied with my collection once and for all.

When they stopped and went to TTL and R3s i just didnt like them so stopped. The classic line got me started again and into RAs. The day RAs stop will the end of my wrestling figure days forever Yup, I loved BCA figures. Then I adjusted to TTL just because I thought they were better, then R3 Came and I hated them plus I thought I was too old for figures so I stopped. But RA came out and I walked by the toy aisle at Wal-Mart and saw RA 6. I picked up HHH and Kurt Angle and been collecting since then. Only have about 250 RA figures, but once that style ends I'm done too. They can't make them any better in my opinion, and if DA is what the future really holds then I'm for sure done forever. I'll probably keep my favorite 30 figures for my kids when I'm older, and sell the rest eventually. But until RA ends or until I can't afford it I'm collecting for life. |
