Ok i am not advocating for more powerslammers, but there is one of him suppose to be coming out. I do not get why brodus clay of all people gets one released before punk ?? All of other top guys got one released right away plus an extra one in the 2-packs released in the first wave in this series.
If i was CM Punk and i cared about this i would be pissed. But then again maybe the series will get canned soon if sales bomb and it would not be so bad.
Series 1:
Cena
Orton
Sheamus
Mysterio
2-packs Series 1:
Cena + Orton
Sheamus + Mysterio
Series 2:
Brodus Clay
Miz
Kofi Kingston
Zack Ryder
I think this is it for now, and no punk. If punk is a top guy on the level of cena, since his merch sells better than his does now. You would think even though these toys suck, he should be in the first wave of this series. Also Punk was not the last few k-mart exclusive sets, and has only been in one toysrus exlusive figure set to date. He has also not been in any figure + rings sets at all, anywhere, retailer exclusive or not from mattel.
It almost seems like punk is not getting his due in the retail world. Chip can you chime in here ?

It's simply because power slammers are aimed at kids, and the manufacturers have the same mentality that super hero figure manufacturers have: kids don't want "villians" or bad guys in their collection. of course, it's a stupid assumption, but yeah. I believe Punk hasn't had a brawling buddy either so far.

I'm pretty sure Punk was a heel when these items were announced. Also, I have a feeling the WWE never looked at Punk as a viable draw for kids, even if he was over as hell with them during his babyface run. It goes back to Punk talking about how he feels the company machine has never fully been behind him, what with him not being the initial choice for the WWE '13 cover and a bunch of other things he's spoken of over the past year, but, I digress.
A CM Punk brawling buddy would be pretty bad ass, if I do say so as a Punk mark.

The only thing I think about when I see or hear about the 'Power Slammers' is Ebenezer Mittelsdorf from 'Grimz Toy Show' on Youtube talking about how it's a handjob machine. I was crying laughing when I heard him say that.

CM Punk power slammer? Sure, why not. I don't think I would buy it though...

To be fair, nobody buys any of the other Power slammers.... What the hell is the point?! Toys are ment to be played with, or collected, not to be watched to cartwheels... They're so F'n stupid!

Because Brodus Clay is probably the most kid oriented character on the roster...makes perfect sense why he'd be made early. That's also why they had him promote them so much...

Do you think Punk doesn't want to be associated with silly things like that? I know he feels he doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but he's a serious guy.
Do you think WWE showed him the Power Slammers & he was like, "What the hell is this crap?"
Could you imagine him posing with his Brawlin' Buddy? All of the BBs that have been released so far, you can imagine them posing with them to promote, but not Punk.

Yea, I was looking for one because I'm trying to build a CM Punk collection, and was very surprised to find they didn't make one...
But I agree with the others, they are stupid. I just want any CM Punk stuff I can get right now.

I would have bought Orton if he wasn't in the kicking pose. And I would probably buy a Triple H, but that would be it for me. That said they are moving at the stores around here.
