Just like the rest of the Warrior figures, they'll gather heavy dust until stores practically give them away.
Even then, no one will want them. In 2016 no average shopper will buy an Ultimate Warrior figure. I don't want to seem like I'm bashing a dead guy, but Warrior is pretty irrelevant to everyone but his handful of hardcore fans.

His Basics sell, because his outfits are bright & colorful & the price point is acceptable to casual fans & parents. It's the DM price that will kill this thing.

Technically Warrior is the last figure to be released so far.....So how is it dead?
One store putting them all out doesn't mean it's all over for the DM line

NY Warriors usually sell.
THis Warrior will not. Too many are tired of the FAKE Defining Moments. You can still get the Taker easily and GAB Sting.

I guess the same could be said for E26 and the Warrior/Cena pack as well? lol

Lets be honest, the DM line has been on life support for some time now with Mattels curious decisions.

If this was a DM Undisputed Jericho or a colorful Surfer Sting or Wolfpac Sting I wonder if this would be a problem. It's a great figure but doesn't come with any DM worthy accessories. If this was a Defining Moments Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho, in either his Vengeance 2001 or WrestleMania X8 attire, I would buy 3 of them!! I'd even buy them if the were his Royal Rumble 2001 or No Way Out 2002 attires. The must include both the Big Eagle and the Big Gold Belts. I may pick up the Ultimate Maniacs if they do drop to clearance prices close to what the Horsemen figures dropped down to. These would all look good together on display.

All Warriors figures sell well obviously. The usual suspects claiming they don't won't change that. It's a fact that if they didn't sell, Mattel would stop making them

My walmart in Ontario, canada is still flooded with crow sting d.m, Same for toys r us
I feel like d.ms need to be the same format as elites, They already have the same amount of accessories, maybe shrink the box even more and sell it for the same price as an elite. All we are paying for now is a big name star as an elite , the same star that has already been in the elite line. It seems even the cloth goods don't always help a figure appeal to the mass audience for the price.

I've seen handfuls of DMs warming shelves where I live. The Warrior does shelf warm in certain stores, but as I've mentioned on here before, it's nowhere near as bad as the Taker DM. I can literally buy the Taker DM at every place that I visit that sells WWE figures.

Less junk on our shelves the better! And the wm elite lesnar and brock are on walmart online

All of the Walmarts in my area had about the same amount of DM Undertaker during the holiday season last year and most of them are still clogging the shelves today. The only place I ever saw DM Austin, Surfer Sting, or Warrior was TRU. Every other store is still stuck with Undertaker.

I have not and will not buy another DM that isn't Hollywood Hogan. I wouldn't be heartbroken if the line ended. That said, I don't think that one store having over 100 DM Warriors is signalling the DM Apocalypse.
