Accessories you've skipped out on...

[CM Poor]

I've been slowly rearranging/swapping out some of my collection for display lately, and I've noticed a couple of instances where I've skipped out on including a figure's accessory on display.
I'm not necessarily talking things like additional hands/heads or "weapon" type accessories, but more specifically attire/gear-based accessories that I just happen to like the figure more without.
Some of the ones that have popped up to me as I peruse my collection:

- Zelina Vega E84: Her entrance coat was cool, but I didn't like the way her hair fell over it, so I opted to just display her with her crown/tiara

- Shotzi Blackheart E95: I left the helmet off when I put her up on the shelf. I dunno if this is more that she didn't have it this first time I saw her (Evolve 132), or just that it hid her face a bit for me, but I think the figure just looks better without it.

- Cesaro E93: Not a fan of how the coat here turned out at all. I think I fiddled around with the figure wearing it for maybe 15 seconds and then just went for the gear look.

- Tommaso Ciampa E69: It was a pain in the ass with the knee brace, but the camo pants had to go with this one. The figure looks so much better to me in his proper gear.

Interested to see some of the nuance of which accessories y'all might keep off to the side when displaying your figures.

That first DX Triple H. The DX Army accessories did not go with that attire.

Retrofest Duggan. The shirt and crown did not go with that attire. Plus the shirt not having true baseball sleeves made it look weird.

FTO Hogan. Didn’t wear a weight belt with that attire and wasn’t WWF champion either

Bundy. Didn’t like the omission of “King Kong” plus looks better without the shirt anyway

ECW Bam Bam. Never had that belt

ECW Funk. Never had that belt

HOC Warrior. Wasn’t champion in that attire

Flashback Warrior. Wrong color belt strap

ECW Cactus. Never had that belt

All my accessories except current belts lol.

With the exception of Piper’s Hot Rod shirt I don’t display any cloth tshirts or pants on the figures. Really the only accessories I do display on the figures are entrance robes/jackets, titles or wrestlers specific items like LOD shoulder pads, Triple H’s sledgehammer/ water bottle , Hacksaw’s 2X4, etc

Belts, important accessories stay. A lot of shirts and extras go in the bin.

Every Hogan with Boas, those go in the bin immediately.

It's really a tossup for me. I like to display most in their ring gear. I tend to only have them in entrance gear if it's something that I consider memorable or iconic - LOD in their pads, Hogan with his tshirt on, etc. Otherwise I usually stick with the ring gear.

That reminds me. LOD wrist gauntlets. I don’t recall them wearing them. Maybe they did but definitely didn’t wear em more often than they did.

I purchased the Basic Sin Cara in white over the Elite because the rubber coat was hard to remove and makes him unplayable in a match.

I never got a Slammy. I’m holding out hope they do the ‘87 Slammy Hogan like Jakks did.

On most of my figures that came with a shirt, vest, robe, coat, etc I’ll display them wearing it. Unless the piece of attire doesn’t allow me to pose the figure in a certain way, I won’t use it.

I also didn’t display either of the most recent Rude with the robe because the airbrush tights should not be covered up.

There's a few, but probably the most noteworthy is that I still don't own a Slammy award.

Those old Finn Balor / Rich Swann Jackets are BRUTAL. Same with Pete Dunne's but at least it is sleeveless. Had to give Edge his Elite 83 shirt since none of his jackets do it for me.

Between the Slammy Playset and secondhand, I currently have 4 Slammys. Could always use more though
