I'm considering Rumblers to be a failure. Does anyone else agree with me on this?

No because kids buy them.

I think they look awesome. Really simplistic and just fun

I'd rather they do all Rumblers as the "kids" line over Flex Force.

i would say that they are making money from them since they probably cost next to nothing to make

Mattel says they and Flex Force are their best sellers. I cant understand how because every toy store Ive ever been to has had a crap ton of them clogging shelves.

Rumblers are the only Mattel WWE products I can find. They literally are never sold in any of the stores near me. I can literally spot the same Rumblers and Flex Force figures that have been sitting there for months and months and months.
If kids love them, great.
If Mattel is making money off of them, great.
I'm just so sick and tired of every store I go into looking for Basics, Elites, Legends and 2-packs and having RUMBLERS and FLEX FORCE being the ONLY products on the shelves!
I can't even fathom the amount of gasoline I've wasted looking for Mattel WWE products only to find nothing but Rumblers and Flex Force in ever store.

Far from a failure. In fact, they sell incredibly well according to Mattel. And they are kind of cool for what they are.

Not at all. I just wish I could find Series 3 other than Kane/Rey & Taker/Henry

I don't think they are a failure at all. Mattel says they sell well, and I personally think they are really cool. If they made Legends rumblers I'd buy them all. I'm even considering buying some of them now, and I don't even collect current roster people, I just think they are awesome looking.

I like them, just haven't got any since they haven't made any of my "FAVE 5", to quote Booker T. I have my eye on that Evan Bourne they made though, when he gets a singles release, I may get him!
failure in terms of profits? HIGHLY doubt it. profit margins are probably incredibly high with that line.

Huge hit as far as I can tell.
...and I love the bejesus out of the line.

I think Mattel says they sell well because the retailers are buying them. Now, if you were asking the stores how they sell I think you might get a different answer. I don't think Rumblers have sold poorly around me in terms of the 2packs, but like the Taker and JoMo ones with the accessories I haven't seen move at all. Either way, I don't think they have sold incredibly well either but if Mattel is able to move them to retailers then all the power to them.
The FF line blows my mind, period. I don't see them move at retail at all and Mattel keeps reassuring us that FF is killing it. Honestly, the Basic lines around me seem to be, by far, the best movers of any series Mattel puts out. Obviously, my area is a very small fraction of the market but this is what I am seeing personally.
I like the Rumblers, they are kind of cool, but if they went away tomorrow I don't think I would be too terribly sad either.

There's no way FF is doing as good as Mattel says, beyond perhaps that they're super cheap to make because the lack of articulation and paint aps. So maybe they're making money that way. Stores can't even give the FF stuff away around me.
However, the Rumblers I believe are selling well and they've been cranking out a lot of new stuff for them. I supect they're cheap to make as well and make a decent profit that way.

They are probably cheap to make so I would imagine the profit on these things is good enough for Mattel to keep making them.

a failure, are you joking. they sell incredibly well, and shops buy loads and loads of them in.
SUCCESS!
