I consider my main collections to be Hot Toys and Transformers. I also have a character specific collection focused on Wonder Woman. I used to collect Optimus Prime figures but I've mostly stopped doing that over the past year. I'll get random figures from other lines of characters I'm into or that just look cool.
I collect: Transformers Generations Monster High LOL OMG Enchantimals Superhero Girls Funko Rock Candy MLP MyScene and some random stuff if it catches my eye.
Missed this thread! On hindsight, I’m on my last leg on many of lines I’m collecting. Here’s mine: 1. Transformers CHUG Anyone that appears in G1 in the Siege and Earthrise! Tbh I’m just filling up gaps... 2. Star Wars Black Series All I’m collecting are ewoks (waiting on Wicket, Chief Chirpa, Logray) and Bib Fortuna...and I’m retired from Star Wars. 3. Marvel Legends ...just waiting for Hasbro to release an updated comic Abomination and OG Thanos and Adam Warlock 3. Thundercats Classics Monkian and Robear Berbil (when he’s released) 4. Neca TMNT Waiting on Splinter, Android Krang and Usagi Yojimbo 5. Super 7 TMNT Waiting on Don, Android Krang and Usagi Yojimbo 6. Super movie Conan 7. MOTU Classics Waiting on Snake Mountain 8. G.I.Joe Classified Waiting for POs to be opened for Cobra Trooper. This line will be the one I’ll ve actively collecting.
Quick update for me: I recently discovered the Funko 5" Five Night at Freddy's line and with the help of the Amazon jungle and EvilBay, I have been catching up on the first wave I was really interested in. I probably won't get any more unless they go back and retroactively release the Withered Animatronics or Scraptrap.
Can cross Marvel Legends War Machine off the list. Friend purchased him for me while running errands at Target. Just waiting on a Classic Ultron now.
Let's see, I collect... Marvel Legends - focused mostly on '80s/'90s characters/designs from the comics I read as a teen with a few modern characters/designs sprinkled in. Transformers Generations - focus mostly on my favorite G1 characters, but I also collect characters like Hot Shot who originated from other continuities and I'll be building the tv BW cast once Kingdom starts. GI Joe Classified - the nostalgia bug has hit me hard with this one and I'll be picking up pretty much every character I had as a kid (plus Valaverse Sgt. Slaughter will find a home here). Power Rangers Lightning Collection - plan on completing Mighty Morphin, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and SPD teams along with any villains from their respective series and I'll be getting sixth Rangers, allies, and villains from some of the other seasons as well. McFarlane DC Multiverse - just getting my favorite characters from the comics here... no real focus on designs here since DC doesn't overhaul their character's costumes as often as Marvel. McFarlane Mortal Kombat - being very picky about this line since I think a lot of the MK 11 designs over too busy... right now I've only got Cage & Spawn and I plan on getting Kitana and Baraka when they release... hoping for Klassic versions of Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion. Star Wars Black Series - focused almost exclusively on the OG Trilogy era so characters from the original trilogy, Rebels, Mandalorian, Rogue One, etc. only. Really wish Hasbro would do some Expanded Universe characters from this era... I NEED a Black Series Mara Jade! Ghostbusters Plasma Series - I've got the main four guys, Gozer, and the Vince Clortho Terror Dog... just need a Zuul Terror Dog and Slimer from the first movie. From the second film, I'd really only want Luis as a Ghostbuster and Vigo. Outside of that, I'll probably pick up characters from Afterlife if I enjoy the movie and I would probably pick up Janine as a Ghostbuster if they were to get do stuff from the RGB cartoon in Plasma Series. Otherwise, this is probably going to be my smallest collection. SH Figuarts - Dragon Ball Z/Super and Sailor Moon basically. Sailor Moon is done since I've got all the Senshi and they don't appear to be doing any villains. With Dragon Ball, I keep to the main heroes and only the strongest version of each. Just don't have the room to get every SS form for every Saiyan plus all the villains and lesser characters. Figma - Right now I'm collecting their Persona 5 line up and other than that I basically get any random game/anime characters I like... though this is largely a joint collection with my wife. Once these lines are released I'm planning to collect: TMNT Ultimates - I loved the toyline as a kid so I'm choosing this over the Neca releases since they represent that. I'll probably end up with 90% of the figures I had toys of as a kid as long as they make them. Thundercats Ultimates - After the fiasco that was the Bandai line in 2011 I've been waiting for a collector line to come out for these guys (Mattel started it, but...) and my main focus will be on the Cats, Mutants and of course Mumm-Ra. I might get the Lunatacs and a few of the Cats' allies if they get made, but I haven't decided yet. MOTU Masterverse - I was kind of an idiot and sold off my Classics collection after becoming fed up with MattyCollector so the fact that we're going to get new 7" figures (and at retail instead of a shitty sub-service you get browbeaten into getting each year) has me excited. I know I'll end up picking up all my favorite characters.

That said; current lines I'm into: Transformers WFC (prefer SIEGE to Earthrise but Wheeljack, Snapdragon and Doubledealer are awesome) GI Joe Classified (not going to dump on Target but exclusives make it easier for me to be a casual fan) Marvel Legends (Deathlok and FOX Cable are outstanding) Onell Glyos (and other related lines) Past lines: Microman/Micronauts (pre-2000 vintage - so, so good) Matchbox MAC Commandos (is Mobile Action Command Commandos at all redundant?) XEVOZ (best line of toys since Micronauts) MASK Wheeled Warriors (just the hero cars) I hit up Cotswold (GI Joe Elite) every now and again and have been eyeing Classic TV Toys type S deluxe body and gear (got a few customs in mind).
Hasbro: Marvel Legends, Transformers Generations, Bandai: Gundam Gunpla, Kamen Rider Figure Rise, Dragon Ball Figure Rise, Ultraman S.H. Figuarts, Power Rangers, Ben 10 figures (collected when I was smaller, remained with me) Mattel: Hot Wheels, DC Justice League Unlimited, DC Universe Classics, WWE Basic/Elite Not too much lines, some I stopped collecting but i still kept the items and some i still collect. I still have to save money for school so yeah.
Hey, did you hear that supposedly Mattel is going to be bringing Monster High back? I guess they're going to doing some Stephen King ones, which is cool. My wife would definitely want those.
