We got Sasha Banks in the beginning of September last year. Since then all we've seen in stores are Becky Lynch and Maryse. Releases were seemingly about 5 months apart. Now we have Naomi (first seen an entire 9 months ago fully painted), Alexa Bliss, Natalya, and Paige yet to be released. They're showing them at a faster rate than they are releasing them and I wonder what the deal is with that? Are the planning quicker releases in the future or just getting very far ahead of themselves and showing us product we're never gonna get?

Does anyone actually know how regular they were supposed to be released? Has anyone ever confirmed

Thank goodness I don’t want any of them anyway.
I don’t even get excited seeing new stuff I want anymore because how/when ever available is such a crap show

Tried the trick of buying the last Becky Lynch to force the store to order a new shipment in hopes of finally seeing Maryse in my area. Ended up finding two more Becky's three weeks later. Another Walgreen's still hasn't sold thru their initial Sasha Banks order from last year. So I'm hoping I can at least get a Naomi before this line fades from stores.

Bought two Becky’s. Was replaced by three Sasha’s and a Becky.

I don't collect the walgreens line because they haven't had any flashbacks. But I will say that the one thing that walgreens doesn't do enough is they don't clearance out/mark down merch to get it to finally move. I used to work at a store that if we had stuff sitting on the shelf for a year we would automatically mark it down 20-30% because we knew and had numbers saying "Ok we've made x amount of dollars over the past year, x amount from this specific category and this hasn't sold." You don't want product sitting around that long. And I know that Walgreens runs a lot better and different than the store I worked for but they should still use some of that mentality. The walgreens by my house has a Cody Rhodes basic for crying out loud.

I work for walgreens, we were told we couldnt Mark down anything without corporate consent (due to a manager marking down items to 90% off and buying them for resale) the company is changing everything and its losing us customers.

Having figures be exclusive to Walgreens was a terrible idea. I’ve seen a million Sasha figures, 1 Becky and no Maryse figures.
With Paige being next (even though Naomi, Nattie and Alexa were shown first)and how long it takea for the figs to show up, the line will get cancelled before any of them come out.
Mattel, stop getting us excited for figures we’re never going to get.

I don’t understand why more haven’t come out or why Paige is jumping ahead of them, but for my personal preference I am super cool with Paige being next. I don’t have much interest in any of the other three.. maybe Bliss.

It would be nice if we could get an update on the line Action Figure Attack MattelDesignTeam ? - I was really looking forward to the Naomi with glow in the dark belt - The Alexa is nice, but her basic 91 will do just fine. - I have no interest in the Natalya figure. They would be better off making it a Basic and putting it in a 2-pack with Ronda. I'm not sure that many people were excited about the t-shirt. - Paige looks great and I'll definitely get it.

Walgreens insider!! So when they do clearance and markdown is it someone in corporate doing the price adjustment in the system for the store or is someone at corporate giving the ok for a store level manager to do the adjustment?

I love that shirt and the cat ear hair-do. Should have a SDW title too though. Becky’s elite with one went straight in a bin it was so boring.

Corporate sends the markdowns to us. We have no control. The only exception is if the product is no longer apart of the department, then we have the discretion to mark it down. Unfortunately, all of the Women’s Exclusives are linked together in the system, so as long as Walgreens carries them we aren’t able to mark them down.

Every Walgreens I've ever been to has only ever had Becky and Sasha. I never saw Maryse or Naomi anywhere ever. Walgreens is pretty bad for keeping exclusives stocked, because they're a drug store, not a toy store, so none of the managers care about ordering toys. I don't understand why you would strike a deal with them for exclusives because it's not going to get into most people's hands.

IT would help Walgreens if they actually stocked them on their website. I still haven't seen Maryse nor do I have any desire to go to Walgreens to look.

Paige is next...even though Nattie, Naomi and Alexa were shown first. I kind of hope they cancel this series and just put them in the main Elite line or make them RSC exclusives.

Defensive Walgreens manager here that just wants to clarify that we don’t have much control over orders nowadays. We are told to trust the computers to do that for us lol That being said, Walgreens handling of this series has been horrible. As others have said, markdowns and online ordering need to be implemented.
