Which character did you spend the most money on in 2023?

[Fighter Hayabusa]

As the subject line states who did you spend the most money on this year? Since this is the Mattel WWE boards they would have to have at least 1 Mattel figure you bought in 2023 but if they have figures produced by other toymakers then those can be counted as well.

[mikedanger]

Cody Rhodes by far

[Fighter Hayabusa]

Mines is easy. Andre the Giant.

Ultimate Edition x 3
E100
E100 Chase x 2
Big Rubber Guys (black singlet)
Super7 (yellow trunks on clearance)
Super7 (black singlet on clearance)

And haven’t purchased yet but will likely before the end of the year:
Heels and Faces (black singlet)
Superstars x 2 (or more)

Figure-wise: On June 28th, I bought-in-now for $54.13 on ebay the Elite 28 Bray to complete my Bray PC. Looking back, pretty glad that I did. Miss the shite out of him. Have spent nothing more on a WWE figure this year.

Character-wise: "wrestling has more than one... royal family", (Defining Moment, Elite 101, Ultimate from RSC, and includes Jazwares Supreme).

[taserface]

Pretty sure it’s Brock for me.

Ultimate RA
E99
E98 chase
Another Elite RA from TJ Maxx
Beast 3 pack from TJ Maxx

And would’ve bout E96 and UE15? If I’d have ever seen them

[Flair Forever]

Gotta be the Hulkster, brother. I bought a lot of Hogan figures this year....

I will confess - some were on sale, clearance, etc. In a few cases I bought extras for spare parts and accessories, brother.....

[cableV]

I keep converting his Elites and Ultimates to Superstars, so it's got to be Hogan.

[POOR-ly Cuyler]

WWE: Rob Van Dam Ultimate Edition 2x
AEW: CM Punk Supreme 2x
Then I also bought an Ultimate Charlotte for like $70 if secondary market counts. Pretty sure it’s gonna see a GH release too and I’ll kick myself but whatever.

[GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy]

I’ll be completely honest, I can’t even remember. I’ve bought a few figures here and there, but not of the same character. Last figure I bought was Rick Steiner. I plan to buy the Andre UE, it goes back to retail. Other than that, not sure what else I currently want. Oh, I do also want that RR elite Vader too.

[crush]

WWE would probably be HBK as I think he's the only person I've bought multiple figures of this year. Cody might be up there too.
Overall would be CM Punk (Blood & Guts, 2 ROH Punks preordered, the DST statue, the second Micro Brawler)

[Back to the Codyverse]

Edit because I missed the in 2023 part

#2 for me might be Rock but only 3 strictly just for him.

Legends UE
Superstars
RA
Greatest Hits (so I can put extra Ali head on a body with dress pants)
Championship Showdown (solely for Mankind)
TNFT (primarily for Hogan but I did upgrade my prior Maivia as well)

[azraelms]

Hogan and Andre. At least 3 figures of each, and one of the 3 from Andre was the Ultimate.

[Ron Waffle]

I've had a greatly scaled back year this year, but probably Bret or Shawn.

[The Assassin]

Mine is non-wrestling but Mortal Kombat Liu Kang from Storm Collectibles. £190. Which included a massive dragon I don't even want. And FYI I am pretty dang poor. But I love Classic MK and must have these figures. And, plot twist, I actually want to get a second one for a custom Hornbuckle (which basically means repainting his outfit to green).

I haven't been buying that many wrestling figures recently, since most of my wishlist is WCW/NWO era Legends, particularly FTIL and "deep dive" names, and unfortunately those come pretty few and far between from Mattel. Really hope they might find a way to offer obscure legends more frequently.

[destino]

Hogan and Punk. Two dudes who I really don’t want to spend any more money on 😂

Hogan was everywhere and Punk was a part of some pricey sets (B&G & Supreme).

Bret Hart is probably up there too because I bought 3 of the Target Ultimates and the rerelease. Was that Retro set this year? There might have been some elites this year that I’m forgetting (passed on Defining Moments for now).

[J-MANN]

I wish I could have spent more money on Cody Rhodes figures.

[Deleted]

I guess Cody, as shocking as that is.

Elite 101 x2, Top Picks, Defining Moments and Ultimate Edition.

Either that… or the multiples of Viking Raiders, Angel Garza, Santos Escobar and Aleister Black figures. 🤔

[Mongo Bears]

It’s a tie…let’s see
I bought greg the hammer
I bought Zeus
I bought Bischoff
I bought Andre
And I just bought a Bulldog.

That’s my whole year.
