I've been collecting WWE Mattel figs since the summer of 2010. My first purchase was the Legends Road Warriors. I only collect certain guys so in almost 7 years I only have 43 figs. That will probably seem laughable to most in that long of a period, but since I only collect a small amount of names I'm totally satisfied with a collection of that size.

I only care about the paint and production quality of the fig. That's what I collect not the box it comes in.

As big of a fan I'm am of both. I honestly would rather see Rick Rude and Surfer Sting figs made first to catch up with them before anymore are made. All had really colorful attires and IMO they should all have about the same amount of figs.

It is very hard to get this right now in greater Los Angeles area Add Southern Chicago to the list. Nothing so far. I refuse to pay $30 online for a $10 fig. I guess I'll just need some patience.

NWA World tag team titles for Legends Road Warriors. That is the biggest accessory missing out of the guys I collect.

I voted Steiners. Bulldogs would be my next choice if they were on the list. I would debate on RNR, not sure I would buy them or not.

Since January I've bought the most figs ever for this short period of time.
Legends Taker, Orange Elite Perfect, BAB set, TNF Savage, Newest Basic Sting and HOF 2 pack with Warrior ( sold the Shango).
Now to most that doesn't seem like much, but for someone with a wife and 2 kids it is for me.
I'm currently only looking for the TNF Warrior and HOF Sting. I should be good to the end of summer then.

NWO Savage only. Obviously that wasn't at retail. I kept passing as I'm not a huge NWO fan and at that time i didn't regret it at all. Now when I look at the fig it is pretty cool looking, so I realize I should of bought it.
I only collect like 10 guys so I should of just bought it regardless. I've since learned my lesson as some of the guys I collect probably won't even be made ever again. My list is even smaller now and pretty easy to keep up with.

That head would look great on the HOF Warrior fig as well.

Never cared for him, so he isn't someone I would buy. I can see a NWO completest wanting one, but I'm not one of them.

I've only done it once. I bought the latest basic Sting for a head swap on the HOF Sting. Still haven't found it yet, but that's the plan.
I also plan on buying the TNF Warrior just for the head. Not sure what version I'll do a head swap with.

Very cool story. For me the best part was that you got to talk to Warrior for 30 minutes. I can totally envision that as he was a super cool person who really loved his fans. When I met him in 2012 at an autograph signing the line went so slow because he really took the time to talk to every person in line. By far the coolest wrestler I ever met and I've met a lot.

Orland Walmart has a bunch of new figs. Nothing I collect but maybe some of you do.
WM HBK, WM HHH, Elite Erick Rowan, BAB set and a bunch of WM 2 packs.

Awesome collection. Savage is one of the few guys I collect as well. It's always cool to see what others have collected on him. I still kick myself for passing on that NWO one.

I wouldn't buy it as I dislike Basics. To me those are for kids to play with not collecting and displaying.

I like the head swap on the Sting. I'll be doing the same once I find it. Not sure if I'll switch the arms or not. Can you put basic arms on an Elite or will they not fit?

If Mattel stopped making WWE figs today I would be fine with it with one exception. I really want at least 1 more Elite Surfer Sting. Otherwise I'm good. I'll keep collecting certain guys but in all honesty I don't need anymore of them except for Sting. I would be okay with another Elite Rick Rude as well. I'm a person who likes to know there is an end to it or a stopping point.

The more I look at that Sting the more disappointed I become that it's not an elite. 1st the green now this? We need tons of elite "sufer" Stings. I'm right with you on this. Very disappointing to see this is a basic. To me basics are for playing and how many kids are calling out for a Surfer Sting. We really need more Surfer Sting Elites and hopefully soon.
