LMFAO at anyone who thinks this won't sell Especially after last night. Who got a bigger pop? Bayley or your favorite wrestler? Almost every mystery partner gets a pop, her basic sat for weeks at local walmarts for $9, this will sell like trash Yet where I live they flew off the shelves. You can't base these things on your one local Walmart. It depends on the area.

She flew off the shelves in Southern California, Renee Young however is everywhere.

I was quoted 3 times dispelling my Bayley selling ok locally but no one disagrees with my every mystery partner gets a pop argument. It's true. The crowd is hyped for a surprise it doesn't mean anything. I think she will have a huge following on the main roster but I'm not sure entire cases of developmental women's wrestlers will not sit there for weeks like Hhh HBK Bossman and Austin have.

The difference between HHH,HBK,BOSSMAN, Ringmaster and Bayley is kids know Bayley, she's popular with children and collectors alike. I see your point but you can't compare the other spotight figures to this one.

Bayley has that crossover appeal for sure. Finn, Owens, Zayn, they all sell well because current fans and smarks/collectors want them. There's crossover appeal.
Bossman isn't the most popular, Ringmaster was a poor gimmick that wasn't over, HBK has that weird head and HHH....well I dunno, that should sell better, but maybe because it's from a less popular time of his?

Can't wait to get my mitts on this fig. Expression is a little goofy but the attire is spot on, from one of the best damn womens matches my eyes will ever see. I hope it hits soon. Like, in a month or so.

Good point....I could be wrong Side note: does anyone else think it looks like she's rubbing her nips with her thumbs on the back?

I'll disagree with that. If the mystery partner had been Nikki Bella, that crowd would have sh*t all over it.

Ehhh, if the Bella's weren't popular they would be around for 10 years and have their own show

Here's the thing about the elites in the Spotlight series: no one in it is a regular active wrestler, which leaves the appeal for kids at zero.
Bayley got that pop as a person who is NOT ON TV. She's gonna be huge on the main roster, and her sales appeal is higher because she's kid-friendly, ACTIVE, and has crossover with casuals and smarks. I flew to Brooklyn specifically to see that match, and it was totally incredible. I'll probably buy two of these, and I won't be the only one.

It doesn't matter if Bayley appeals to smarks, marks, or tots. What matters if she sells enough figures so that Mattel and WWE will broaden the Network Spotlight series to include non WWE icons. Outside of Bayley and arguably Big Bossman, it has been various heavy hitters in the series.

This is a losing argument for you.

This is a losing argument for you. Im not a Bella fan at all but if you honestly think there isn't a large portion of the audience that loves them for some reason, your wrong.

Im not a Bella fan at all but if you honestly think there isn't a large portion of the audience that loves them for some reason, your wrong. That's not the debate, though. You said Bayley received the kind of pop she did, because every mystery partner receives a pop. That's just not true. That crowd wanted Bayley, and only Bayley. There was no other woman under the WWE umbrella who would have received the reaction she got.

Ok while Nikki wouldn't have gotten an Eva type reaction it would have been more of like an eh who cares. If it was anyone other than Bayley it would have deflated that whole place and the match would have just been hijacked.

There was no other woman under the WWE umbrella who would have received the reaction she got. 90% of wrestling fans are really stupid, they would have cheered for anyone. Its just not opinion but I think you are completely blowing out of proportion her specific reaction. It would be like me saying fans ONLY wanted to see Undertaker vs Shane McMahon. No, its just that he has been gone for so long. If it were Trish, Lita, Nikki etc. they would have gotten a large reaction as well and as someone said earlier, the pop was dead after about 15 seconds. I agree with PJ, lets see after a month and all the hardcore Bayley people buy their copy how many sit there at $20 a pop (no pun intended) for weeks and weeks and months and months. Agree to disagree my friend.
