I still will not buy that figure even if its marked down to a dollar and/or if target dumps them off at goodwill. Nobody ever asked for this figure, it killed the nxt line, and it has no accessories included to entice anyone to buy it just for the accessories. The Nxt Rusev figure has no redeeming value at all to me at least. It is the worst figure mattel has ever made, bar none. The only reason to buy this figure is to either complete your elite nxt collection or you are a diehard Rusev fan and have to own every one of his figures made. There may have been other bad elite figures made by mattel but none that checked the 3 boxes I mentioned. I also want to thank mattel and target for not doing anything about this awful figure to purge it out of the stores until now when the line is officially dead. You can both equally take a bow to this crapfest. Sorry if I am venting but i saw now they are finally marking this atrocity down. Its very much like they waited too long with the Tito Santana figure. Thank you to the 3 different forum members here who I was able to trade or purchase the riott, McIntyre, and finally the aleister figures from this final series/set. Here are some pics of proof of what targets in my area looked liked from 5 months ago and have not changed much at all as far as I know. flic.kr/p/2dwopvDflic.kr/p/24iJTyRflic.kr/p/SPLV2j |

Very true and I finally bought one for $9 when he was marked down. But he was definitely the prequel to nxt rusev.

It was a figure not many people were interested in but not the worst that honor might go to elite rhyno.

Zero interest in it. Although worse ever? I think Rhyno will have someting to say about that!

I think it's the worst ever because it killed the nxt line if for no other reason. That elite rhyno sucked but it came with a new tag team belt.
Belts = Money
Now there maybe 5000 elite rhynos on eBay right now, but they sold them out of stores if only for that blue tag belt.
That is of course if your not a sleezeball that steals the belts to re-sell.

I agree with the op 100%. Every target i have to recently has at least 4 or more rusevs. This reminded me of the nxt elite No Way Jose. He used to be everywhere. What happened to all his figs?

Elite Rhyno has something to say about that.

Why does nobody ever bash that Flashback Regal? Ive yet to be at any Target and not see at least 1 Regal on the peg. And its part of the Elite line so its always full price.

It was not the best and clogged the shelves. I actually bought him at near full price, and for the life of me I canât remember why.

Itâs an odd choice. Itâs not like Rusev was really that over at the time to where someone is gonna buy him in some obscure flashback attire because they were jonesinâ for any version of him that Mattel was dishing out. No one really paid attention to NXT before it came to the Network so there is a very extremely limited fan base familiar with Rusev who liked to break boards fresh out of a shower or whatever his gimmick was supposed to be.

I agree. Tbh Iâve never seen a single Elite Rhyno in the wild. Unless yâall are talking about it being a terrible figure and not as in itâs a shelfwarmer.
As much as I love Jacqueline, her figure warmed hard. NXT Elite Rusev is no doubt this generationâs Jacqueline đ. It was a cool concept to have a rookie style Rusev but not in high demand obviously. I love that this got regular packed but actual figures people want (like Dunne) were one per case.

Does he have trunks on underneath everything? If so, what color? He may be good for a fixup.

It is what it is at this point. I do wonder if Target specifically said they wanted recognizable names in the line. These store exclusive lines seem doomed every time.
