The Raw appearance Warrior is truly a defining moment. That was the last time the fans ever got to see him in a WWE ring before he died Yes him dying was defining moment lol It defined him as not alive anymore? The special dm warrior from the video game was awesome, why would you want a warrior with a crapty mask in a trench coat? That air brushed trench coat was amazing. As was his return to WWE, to slightly mock this mans death is utterly contemptuous.

The only saving grace is probably the new Ric Flair from Wrestlemania 24 with that beautiful robe. That figure has redeemed my faith in the line but I think Mattel will drop the ball again. I don't see why they don't do current stars in the line too. For example the White Rollins with both titles and vest would definitely qualify as a DM if Sting (GAB) and Warrior (ultimate maniacs) did and it would probably sell better but I guess that wouldn't happen now as it's in the Elite line with only the one title and vest. If Mattel are running out of ideas, current stars is an area for them to explore, they could also do a Wrestlemania 32 Charlotte with the robe and title. The reason it suits Charlotte and Rollins well is because that was their careers defining moment (Rollins also could have his Mania 31 with briefcase, belt and vest, which the tru exclusive was missing). I don't think it necessarily needs to be a legend every time. I still don't see how the Ultimate Maniacs Warrior qualified as a DM but Savage never as he had more accessories, Warrior is more detailed on the singlet but no more so than Elite 26 was and that was in the standard Elite series. I know people are going to dispute this, but E26 was actually MORE detailed than the DM. The DM was like 3 colors plus Warrior's pigment and eyes and stuff. E26 has at least 8 plus multi colored hairwash I agree, Elite 26 is the only Warrior I've got and it's kept me going fine through the years, I'll be getting the new legends one but Elite 26 is definitely better and more detailed.

I am not sure why the same suspects hate the Warrior? They could be honest, but I am thinking it has to do with his political stance and him being a conservative. If anything I'd say it has more to do with his personality & history in the business than his politics. Ric Flair and a bunch of others are publicly conservative but don't elicit the same negative response. Also I'm a lib and a Warrior fan

Anderson and Gallows with their dusters. New Day with all their gimmicks. If recent E44 Big E can have a duster, then there's no reason to put Dr. Anderson & Dr. Gallows in a new line to get this. Other wise we'll be facing the same resistance from Ultimate Maniacs Warrior being in a DM line when it could have been an Elite. There is also the New Day 3-pack coming with Llama penises, Francesca, new sculpted items. Yeah, but if we changed the DM Line to be something else, we could get Gallows and Anderson in dusters that are the fabric material like what Shawn Michaels DM vest was made out of. That would be the difference of it being in the new line, and not just "it could have been an Elite". When a DM gets rubber accessories, it could have just been an elite, but if we go back to giving the DM's coth and other fabric accessories, then it couldn't have just been an Elite. And we could have New Day with the rest of their WM attire, not just the horns. They all had other stuff on during the entrance, but it can't be made in any of the existing lines.

I dont think we can get the saiyan armor tops because Mattel doesnt have a DBZ license.

Could someone at mattel(i.e. bill) explain to me why one store gets 100+ of a single defining moment figure ? I thought mattel was suppose to be "working more with retailers" so new product gets on the shelf. Is this the bizarro world response ? That store is going to have to mark those down by 1/2 or re-box them and send them to other stores.
It literally makes no sense at all...

Mattel supplies the walmart distribution centers with the product, the its up to them to distribute them properly. Things get messed (as see in the first post) and some stores get to large of a shipment, while others get none. If that district has a mattel rep that visits stores, they might send them back or direct the store how to sell them. (Thats how other reps ive delt with have done things)

Walmart orders thousands. 1 order.
Mattel laugh

Mattel needs to work on the DM cases like they are doing with the elite line. Probably should of included some A and B cases with some Sting's and Cena's included in the cases.
