I just got the Narcissist figure, a gimmick that lasted less than six months, and was curious what other barely-there gimmicks have been released by Mattel.
Shockmaster comes to mind, but his was due more to infamy than anything else. Issac Yankem was around for less than a year, and Steve Austin was the Ringmaster for barely three months.
Who else is there?

Who else is there? Well Yankem and Ringmaster are the start of 2 huge WWF/E careers so they are kind of special. But that raises a good question of the real short lived, obscure gimmicks. I can't really think of any real short lived ones. |

Daniel Wyatt lasted like two weeks, Narcissist somewhere around six months, and Mizdow around 8 months.
Most of Cody's gimmicks only lasted about a year or so.
Tensai, Tugboat, Typhoon, Papa Shango, Nation Faarooq, Godfather, Red Rooster, Shark, Isaac Yankem, Ringmaster, Shockmaster, Skip Sheffield, and James Ellsworth were all around two years or less. (And I'm sure there are a ton more that were two year or less as well.)

That was more just for the fued storyline with the 2 though. Don't know if it was a real gimmick or not |

Would the E50 Warlord attire count? Or the Ultimate Maniacs?

Definitely Shockmaster. He was that for one day. Then repackaged as a klutz.

Ultimate Maniacs is a funny one. Not so much a gimmick, but a set of gear Savage and Warrior wore in very famous promos for a match that never happened. Definitely the most famous tag team that never was.
Daniel Bryan as a memeber of the Wyatt Family WAS in fact the plan going forward from that point, according to Bryan himself, but it got scrapped when the fans basically refused to accept it and more or less hijacked the show until Bryan was put back in a featured spot. So that may be the winner if you only count actual, official "gimmicks" I suppose.

Wyatt Family Daniel Bryan was also very short lived. What was it it, 2 weeks?

These Elite variants and exclusives that we'll never find at stores and will have to pay extra for on eBay.

Giant Machine was also something that didn’t last long.
