I don't know cause Raven wasn't on the ppv While admittedly that would've been a great moment, I still don't think he would've out popped Bayley. I don't think anyone outside of a massive return like Kurt Angle could've gotten a reaction that loud. Just amazing. And shows the fanbase she already has. This figure is going to be very hard to find imo

I was there and that pop was nuts. It almost was loud as the pyro at the beginning of the show

That pop had the quickest death I've ever heard. Crowd exploded and then went completely silent.
I will buy this figure but the face is kind of ugly.

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. 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. I will this say this and I am done with it because at the end of the day it doesn't matter. But just because she got a huge pop at a show filled with wrestling fans doesn't mean she will sell as a figure. How many people in that arena are figure collectors? Again once the initial collectors get their figures which will probably will be one to two cases to fill the local collectors purchases who is going to buy the rest? History has shown us Mattel over produces mass retail store exclusives. I am at my TRU every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and that store has restocked numerous times for all except Bossman. But they have put out and sold at least 5-7 cases each of Triple H, Austin and HBK since their releases. And now all are selling at a snail's pace. And I am pretty sure they have more in their stockroom I am not saying this is the same but the set with Renee Young after the collectors got theirs every time they restocked that set the Renee figure was still on the pegs from the previous set. To the point there were 6 on the pegs for over a month. Granted she isn't a wrestler like Bailey, but she is $10 cheaper also. But even T0y W!z didn't take them to sell on their store, because the initial market for her has passed. All I'm saying is just because someone is popular doesn't mean they will sell well as a store exclusives. I hope I am wrong because I don't want the Network line to end up like the Legends and Legends 2-Packs where Mattel produced to much product that retailers didn't order more.

Bayley is going to sell like every other Network Spotlight figure. Strong at first until the slowdown from the overstock flood the shelves and the collectors, hoarders, & scalpers had their fill. Don't see how it being a woman going to make a big difference in sells: positive or negative.

The only one I haven't really seen warm as much HBK. Triple H and BBM are warming like crazy not yet seen Ring Master.

I'm just trying to imagine parents refusing to buy their son a female wrestler. "No son, that girl fighter is for girls, how about a buff shirtless man in speedos? Its so macho!!" Lol I really hope parents doesn't have such a close minded mentality if thats the case. Overall Bayley will sell better than Bossman. Women figs are usually the 1st ones to go in their series.

Picking up two of these. This has the potential of being the figure of the year, phenomenal job by MattelDesignTeam

I like the fact that they didn't cheap out on the Dusty Rhodes polka dots, on her wrists.

The spotlight is a good line and is actually available in the UK too lol. The only one I wasn't a fan of was Bossman as it was a re release of a figure I already had. I probably won't pick up The Ringmaster even though it's good but the other three are just figures I've really wanted, thanks Mattel
