As happy as I am to see him back in the ring I can't help but dread his figures once again clogging shelves in toy stores. He is one of the most over guys of the modern era but putting that aside you cannot deny that his figures don't sell at all.
I still have nightmares of the endless E32 and TRU BAF's that took years to move.

If they space them out with one elite every couple years like they do with Orton then he’ll be fine. His WM34 elite should sell since it’ll be his first current elite since E38. They probably should only pack 1 per case tho since it will still be a pretty plain figure and likely only will come with a t-shirt.

I’m a big Daniel Bryan fan and don’t mind lots of his figures as his facial hair and attire do change enough to warrant multiple figures. However, the face scan they use of his face is always very serious, and I don’t like it. Completely ruins the figure for me. The E38 smiling face is my fave and should be on most of his figures.

As long as they avoid the disaster that was the painted skin tone on his face, I'll buy one.

Don't overproduce him but keep him in small quantities.

The WM30 Best of PPV elite with both belts was darn near perfect. If they had just thrown in the “Yes” short that was later packaged with his elite 38 figure and got his Brody boots right, I would have ranked that as one of Mattel’s best offerings.

Honestly I don't see them clogging shelves like they used to. There have been some real clunkers in recent elite sets and even those don't warm as bad as Bryan.
Distribution is sort of different now too. I don't see elites warm anywhere really except for the NXT set at Target.

My favorite Bryan figure is still the one with 2 tag titles.

The problem with his elites is his attire! Pretty much all of his attires look the same and are the same two to three colors. A lot of other super stars attire are the same but the have a wide variety of colors and they do change the design from time to time

Stop casting his head in brown and painting flesh tone and I bet figs wouldnsell better.

I'd be more interested in a new Daniel Bryan figure if he had switched up his attire, like say using the Seahawks inspired green/blue. I really don't need another red/black Daniel Bryan just because they make a new headsman to match his current hair and beard. I'm assuming they would make a new headscan. I'm definitely out if they reuse an old one.

A lot of other super stars attire are the same but the have a wide variety of colors and they do change the design from time to time I thought this too but realized guys like Cena, Ambrose, and Reigns all sell and every attire looks exactly the same to me, and in some cases, they are. I think the main reason is that he was never on TV when 32 and 38 came out. He got injured at the height of his popularity. Kids just don’t buy figures of people they don’t see featured weekly on Raw and SD.

i still don't understand why they painted his face. They don't paint Braun or Bray's faces.
But if the spreadsheet still says paint the face, Daniel Bryan's new figures are doomed just like the old ones.

He had a separate hair piece while Daniel Bryan is one solid sculpt hair and all. So they molded it in the dominant color. For DB it is the hair & beard color for Braun it was still his flesh color.

I think as long as they put him in 1 out of every 6 or 7 series he will sell good but if they give him the Roman and Cena treatment we could be in trouble again.

Too many releases in short period of time. (E34, E38, plus TRU exc where the figures weren’t drastically different enough)

I hope when we get an updated one they use this as a chance to release swappable hands. I'd love to have a Bryan with his pointer fingers in the air.
And NO painted face!
