I am sure many of you saw that the Power Slammers were being featured on RAW last night.
Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler looked very awkward trying to play with these, lol.
My reason for bringing this up is that I wonder if either:
A. Mattel want to sell a crap load of these so therefore the promotion on RAW.
or...
B. These aren't selling like they thought they were hence the promotion on RAW.
I think the second reason could be too soon since they have only been in stores for a few weeks but you never know.
They very rarely ever promote toy products, but between commercials and RAW I have to wonder why?
Also, if they are able to promote toys on RAW how come they didn't do this with the Matty Legends?
It is obvious that these Power Slammers suck, and despite advertisements... they aren't going to sell. But at least the Matty Legends would have been given more exposure to casual/unaware of Mattycollector collectors.
Or any other line for that matter.

they had segments for flex force and some of the rings.... its the main line aimed at kids... and since most programming is aimed towards kids, they are going to put those lines one them ... makes sence to me

After seeing them in action, I actually think they're great for kids.

I didn't mind the promo for them. I DID have a problem with the promo during the PPV though even though Tensai was hilarious.

They haven't been on store shelves long enough to have a feel for how well they're selling. They were promoted on Elimination Chamber too -- Brodus Clay and Sweet T were playing with them -- and were a sponsor of EC. It's just promoting a new product. Nothing out of the ordinary.

These things haven't moved worth a damn at any retail store in my area. Maybe a combined 2 have sold, out of about 15 stores I regularly check.
