andre not selling well

Just wondering where they said this?

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be Legends next year. At least we will get 6 Flashbacks a year and hopefully some basics sprinkled in. It was fun while it lasted.

Yeah, some of the rest of the year's Legends are going to be even worse for sales.
:/

No Surprise there, The only people who know about Mattycollector are members on this forum and maybe a couple others

Andre Should have been Sold in retail, Hes the most well known wrestler in the world. Another Blunder that could have been easily prevented. Goodbye Legends.

well, thats my mumma

as apocalypse said, who else knowes about matty ? i'm sure the kids that the figures are mostly aimed at don't, and i doubt if they did that they would spend $30 + on 1 figure.

granted its a legend that mattel aim at us adult collectors but still, the kids might still be buying the legends in store like eddie, stone cold etc.

this isn't a good sign for the future.

Andre was put on MattyCollector because they thought he would be a hot seller -- if they put Andre at retail as a Flashback, they'd sell more Andres, but he was the big name intended to draw people to MattyCollector in a way that Papa Shango wouldn't have done.

But yeah, the Legends line is screwed. If Andre's not selling well, then they're still going to be giving away scrubs like Tully Blanchard to low-level employees for Christmas thirty years from now.

I understand the appeal to have Andre and The Rockers Draw Fans in to Mattycollector, but once again who else besides people on wrestling figure forums know about mattycollector? even some of the people who visit these forums are still asking about the online exclusives as they dont even know about them yet. Andre Probably would sell more figures in retail then the whole online legends line will on mattycollector

And to Draw Fans in to - DDP, Bundy, Arn, Tully and Liz Was a shot in the dark. Im glad we got a chance at these figures regardless but Mattel needs to understand their audience, Legends arn't aimed at kids, they are aimed at the Adult collector. To Me most 30-40 year old collectors have busy lives and wont always be Looking online to see where the newest exclusives are coming out , But if they are in a store , may stop by the figure section .

Flashbacks Seem to be a good start cuz Adult collectors still have a shot at getting a few figures and sometimes they may even appeal to kids, Black Magic Papa Shango Wrestler, the Cop Big Boss Man, The Sumo Wrestler Yokozuna. The Online Wrestling Exclusives are gonna sink, it was a poor lineup on a little known website. Hopefully Mattel Put More thought into flashbacks and keep them going long enough to make them their own line like legends .

Anyways, Im not trying to argue with anyone about it , I seen this coming a long time ago, Legends may be over online but I think Flashbacks has a good shot at making it

Exactly. He is overpriced and that will run people away. it ran me away...

There have been many products offered on MattyCollector that I had to refrain from buying because of the insane shipping costs. The shipping shouldn't increase the price of the item by almost 50% - that's unacceptable.

It would probably be acceptable if it were overnight or even 3-day shipping, but every time I order from that site it takes a day or two to even ship and then another full seven -business- days to even get anything (I live in the US).

For me, it was the shipping costs on Matty Collector that killed Legends - not the designs, choices, or the price of the figures themselves. It's a shame it had to come to this - hopefully we'll still get some awesome Flashbacks.

Not a Bad Likeness but still dont think its gonna move many figures, actually if they just painted the eyebrows and beard darker he would look less like rocky dennis and more like ddp
