I wish Mattel would just include the NXT elites into the regular elite line. Rather than giving us endless New Day figures like recently and other guys that have too many elites, they should make some of the NXT guys since there are so few elites of any of them. Mattel are seriously slow out of the blocks with the NXT elites.

The main issue is NXT Figures don't do that well, guys like Owens, Joe, Asuka really didn't sell well in a lot of places at least in the UK and went down to £10-15 because a lot of people don't watch NXT so they don't know who they are but once they got a second figure or got onto the main roster there figures started selling really well

For real. Maybe a women's wrestler should be included in every set too since they trashed the basics

I think they are just focused on giving us the same faces over and over. That’s what basically every line is anymore.

Meanwhile the two guys from the set that were on the main roster at the time of release, Reigns and Rusev are clogging shelves at every Target I go to. |

The Network topped out at 2.1M subscribers worldwide around Wrestlemania (with a good chunk of those being 1 month free trials). Even poorly rated episodes of Raw are above 3M live viewers in the US alone, not counting Hulu, DVR's and international. It's apples to oranges how many eyes are on the product. I'll gladly buy all of the NXT figures Mattel makes and love the product. But it's not realistic to think that even some of the more popular NXT wrestlers would sell well in toy lines that are sold worldwide unless they're someone with significant buzz when so few people are at all familiar with the product. |

Yeah, the NXT BASICS didn’t very well because Joe/Sami were already getting Basics and Elites in the main line. But we are talking about ELITES.
The only Elites that didn’t seem to sell were Asuka, Rusev and Reigns.
They clearly over-packed Asuka. Rusev and Reigns were just unnecessary in the line. If they would have given us Elites of Aleister Black, Ruby Riott or a member of Sanity...I’d assume those would have gone off the shelves as quickly as Ember and Roode.

I hope they end the NXT series and put the figures back in the regular lines.

Something is seriously up with the elites. NXT is late, Elite 60 is late, HOC Wave 2 is late and Walmart Wave 2 is late. Bill even said on his Twitter that the last two are coming later than expected. Is it a logistical issue?

There isn’t room in the main line. Mattel is too busy giving us repaints of The New Day, Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose, The Miz, and basically the same Demon Finn Balor figures.

I’m sure kids don’t want figures of guys in attire they’ve never seen on TV. Reigns in plain black trunks with a horseshoe logo and Rusev in some weird looking dress aren’t going to fly off the shelves. Only hardcore collectors are buying those figures. |

I agree, as good as Bill is, he makes some stupid decisions at times. |

I don't understand why there putting flashback NXT figures in this line waste of plastic just focus on the NXT stars keep the flashbacks with the elite collection series.

A straight current nxt line would not work.
Hell, I’ve been to a few targets loaded with only ember moon.
The 1 or 2 flashbacks are to keep the line alive

Rollins sold well but Rusev and Reigns aren't. I've only seen Moon on shelves 3 times and Roode twice. |
