I am not saying she isn't popular or liked by kids and adults I am saying I don't see many parents buying their sons a female figure/doll unless the parents are a collector themselves. Most non-collecting parents will look at it with the "My son is not playing with dolls" mentally. I don't know the parents you're talking to, obviously, but I do know a lot of parents, and none of them have this attitude. i love how he says 'most' like he's an expert, its simply not true, especially in regards to wrestling figures. its not like choosing a john cena figure or a barbie doll in a miniskirt. its just choosing 1 wrestler or the other. its probably only a small minority, either the parents who don't watch wrestling and harmlessly get confused or the parents 'scared' that playing with a girl wrestler would make there boy turn 'gay' haha and those parents are not 'most' in 2016 not a chance,not in england anyway... maybe he's from one of those outdated racist homophobic donald trump voting states and its 'most' there i don't know haha

We will see. I still say she will rot on the pegs like Bossman after the local collectors get their figure. Again my local TRU went through multiple restocks of Hunter, HBK and Austin at least 3 restocks for all three before they started clogging the shelves now. And that was with T0y W!z grabbing them to sell on their site. So that actually helped out my area store's sales. I don't think the Bossman had a second restocking at my store and they still have at least one more case in the stockroom I feel unless T0y W!z grabs up a bunch of Bailey figures she will be the same as Bossman. They would have been better making both Bossman and Bailey a regular Elite where they would have reached a much larger distribution area instead of over saturating one store. It is a really nice figure, but I don't think it is a good choice for a solid case store exclusive. Especially when history has shown us that Mattel always overproduces them. But I am done talking about it, because at the end of the day it really isn't that important.

She'll sell to people who see her perform. So, network subscribers. Which, in theory, would be 18-35 YO males. The biggest detractors of John Cena, who so happens to be Mattel's #1 seller.
Some of you may see where I'm going with this...
Me personally, I won't buy it. 1 because I don't like Bayley. 2 the scan looks like a Jakks RVD.

The head looks great. Unlike her first sketchy asian counterpart. Ive met her twice and watched her perform live on 4 occassions. Anyone who doesnt like the scan is blind.

Don't forget the tons of girls that dress like her and watch her on NXT or live events. I went to an NXT show on Friday, and there were at least two girls dressed as Bayley and plenty of others wearing her shirts, including my younger brother.

We can all have different opinions. It doesn't make anyone wrong. Or blind. It means we feel differently about it.

Would you really consider Bayley an Internet darling? Hell yeah she is. Maybe it's just me, but generally I'd consider Internet darling to refer to a wrestler who the "smark" fans love but feel is held down/not given the chance or exposure by the WWE. Bayley is neither of those things (and I like Bayley).

I hope they give her a different upper torso instead of just painting her lady parts

Anyone still wondering how popular she is mainstream and how well this will sell after last night?

I saw last night and no it didn't change my opinion. We will see how well she sells about a month after it's released.

Must be nice having plenty of opportunities to nab the basic Sasha and Bayley considering they weren't hard to find. Yet I've somehow not able to locate either one at two Wal-Marts, two Targets, and one TRU.
Just because something wasn't hard for you to find doesn't mean the rest of the world is the same way.
Just sayin'

Again my local TRU went through multiple restocks of Hunter, HBK and Austin at least 3 restocks for all three before they started clogging the shelves now. I'm not sure how comparing a popular current performer to a character who hasn't been on TV in almost 20 years is relevant, just because they're in the same line.

Sorry but I see her warming the pegs worse than the Bossman. Solid cases of just Bailey isn't going to sell very well. This will be one figure I prey the guy from T0y W1z grabs multiples of from my local TRU. Hell, even the less produced Walgreen's exclusive HBK figure display has been sitting at the New City NY Walgreens untouched for 2-3 weeks now. Yeah I have to agree. I hit TRU at least twice a week and I see the same Figure sitting week after week. Once they hit you will get the initial wave of hardcore collectors and scalpers buying them. But once that goes away, I can see it clogging the shelves just like the HBK/HHH/Bossman do here.

LMFAO at anyone who thinks this won't sell
Especially after last night.
Who got a bigger pop? Bayley or your favorite wrestler?
