The ultimate tables work well for this too!! And I find them way more useful than an orange chair.

I still can't believe I have a WWE wrestling figure of AJ Styles. That will always be surreal.

My most memorable order was when I got loose RSC SCSA and loose RSC Kane with all accessories for around $25 shipped. They showed up in perfect condition and are still two of the star pieces in my collection.

I'm already starting to notice that the interchangeable hands are getting out of control. Do we really need them with someone like Rusev? Or Eric Young? I understand it on Shinsuke and Cena and Balor and people with hand taunts but some of these are just unnecessary Think of it as closed fist for punching vs more open hand for holding things. An more open hand looks silly when punching. I think it’s great. A figure can be posed and played with. Much better for stop-motionists for the same reasons. The cool thing for people that want more is that people that don’t want them will likely sell them too. Everyone wins then. Theoretically, you get extra cash/money off your figure, I get extra hands. Interested in your thoughts on that. I definitely see where you're coming from and I love most of them so far, but there have been a few instances where I think they are unnecessary. As long as the cost of hands doesn't lead to shortcuts elsewhere I'll be happy. And judging by this set it doesn't seem like including the hands is cutting into detail or extra accessories. You make valid points.

That WM35 Taker head is the cleanest True FX scan I have seen so far. Lucky I was one figure short of free shipping from RSC and I chose that Undertaker for that every reason. It is one of the best headscans ever.

Reposting this from the other thread because this thread seems to have more traffic and I spent a little time on this.
My thoughts on this set:
Ronda- The headscan looks better than it did originally but I still don't like the way the hair mold sits on her head it pretty much looks like she's a bald woman with a wig on. The table is a pretty cool accessory. I'm anxious to see how it looks set up and what the breakaway action is like. I wish the jacket was removable
Eric Young- I LOVE this figure. All the detail is second to none. The tongues of his boots hanging down, unlaced, is just the icing on top. That being said, I don't have much desire for him in my collection. Maybe once we get the rest of Sanity OR MAYBE ONCE HE GETS SOME TV TIME.
Roman Reigns- This is a perfect, quintessential, current Roman Reigns figure. I'll probably wait for it to drop in price before I buy it and then won't have to buy another Roman until he beats cancer and comes back to win the title
Rusev- This figure is a total butter face. It's so perfect in every way except the head. Which is a pretty big deal. The beard is too big, kinda like the new Rollins scan, and honestly the face doesn't really look like him to me. Disappointing cause the rest of this figure is superb. Love the thighs and the way the tights are painted.
I'm already starting to notice that the interchangeable hands are getting out of control. Do we really need them with someone like Rusev? Or Eric Young? I understand it on Shinsuke and Cena and Balor and people with hand taunts but some of these are just unnecessary. Especially the ungloved ones on the WM35 Taker.
Aiden English- The headscan looks beautiful as does the design on the scarf, but I would have liked one of his more intricate attires as far as his tights go. He's had some pretty cool airbrushed ones that would look so sick on a figure. Much like Eric Young, I like this figure but I don't have much desire for him in my collection.
Nia Jax- I don't collect women figures (I literally have zero but might break that streak with the new Carmella in the money attire) but this Nia is maybe one of the best figures Mattel has ever produced. Seriously. All 3 of those headscans are spot on and I love all the detail on the attire. Good work on this one Mattel. You knocked her out of the park. The multiple heads will make this a really sought after figure.
Roman Reigns and possibly Eric Young for me.
All in all though, I really like this set. It shows great promise for the future of this line. The True FX is really easy on the eyes and the interchangeable body parts definitely have great potential.

EG actually is my favourite. Same here. Something about that sash around his waist just makes this figure stand out in my collection (and I have every Balor elite) #humblebrag

These look incomplete to me upon first glance. Maybe they just picked boring attires. Also I feel like Kurt would look so much better with a molded on singlet.

I'm hoping UE drops to the $50s and maybe Shield Reunion drops to the $40s but of course of Ringside goes lower who am I to argue You can get UE on Wwe shop for 37.50 shipped. Code Friday and free shipping. Just ordered one Thanks for the tip just ordered one for $40 shipped!

Entrance greats Finn Balor is $19.99 on Amazon right now. Thanks! Also, when I placed my order with "Buy Now" it dropped to 15.99 because a special promotion was applied! Not sure why but I'm not gonna ask any questions lol.

Really digging those Axel and Dallas head scans. I don't collect basics so I'll be passing on all of these but I'd love to see those scans on some B-Team Elites down the line!

why has no one questioned why you thought on the back of the toilet with square tiles would be the most appropriate lighting and backdrop? Yeah it probably wasn't the best idea but it was nighttime and the lighting in the bathroom seemed like the best at the time.

My Seth Freakin' Rollins collection. Which one is your favorite? (And yes this was taken on the back of my toilet)

I'd say that it all has to do with personal opinion. It's all about your own preferences and likes/dislikes. I feel like if someone is collecting certain things because of how they feel others will view it then they are doing it all wrong.
Now that being said, I think money is a big factor here. Those of us with less money have to be more picky about what we buy whereas those with endless cash can pretty much buy whatever they want and not worry about the consequences.
I think I'm right in the middle. I have enough money to buy wrestling figures and it not effect my livelihood but I am also very picky and choosy because these damn things ARE NOT CHEAP and I cannot justify paying $20 for a piece of plastic that looks exactly like another piece of plastic that I already have but with a new head.
I used to try and buy everything. Now I'm more grown-up and responsible and I pretty much just buy the figures of guys I like in attires that really stand out to me.
I love my collection and I think it's perfect..... but I do look at it sometimes and feel bad for how much money I've spent on it. But that feeling generally passes pretty quickly and I'm back to adding things to my cart on Amazon.

My E60 HHH and Elias both have super loose waists and I like to play wth my figures so it kinda ruins that for me.

Is there an easy way to tighten all the loose waists I have in my collection? Just got my E60 HHH and Elias and both are like swivels! So disappointing.

I really like the lighting in these collection pics. Very moody and unique.
And just to set the record straight about the term “Flashback”:
Every other figure in the picture besides the FC HHH and HOC Batista were based on current attires of that specific wrestler when they were released. The Trips and Dave figs, which cane out in 2018, are based off of what they wore 15ish years ago, thus making them FLASHBACK ATTIRES.
Edit: I guess Mickie James is technically a flashback too.

I really like the packaging on the "You Just Made the List" RSC Exclusive Y2J. It's pretty much my only MOC figure that's not autographed.
