the biggest problem is, she is incredibly overrated and just liked for Social Justice balance... the fact that you guys are breaking your backs (and wallets) for this figure really blows my mind.... like WHYYY!!! #GimmeGregValentineAlready Or, it could be because it’s a good figure? Boomer.

Wanna talk about social justice? How about inviting an environment where your customers upskirt women's figures in order to avoid getting erroneous merchandise? A male's figure wouldn't have had to endure this sort of shame and indignity.*

Whether or not she is an overrated performer is another story, but I'm seeing a Total Divas commercial about her being the "first openly gay female performer in the WWE" all the time. This is certainly the largest part of her character marketing right now, without question.

I didn’t know that makes sense then

Like the very least Mattel could do is put some more of her out there in E72 or E73

They could make a battle pack with her and Mandy and just have this skirt thrown in as one of the extra accessories

Boomer. Good figure??? Does it come complete with all accessories??? MAYBE... MAYBE NOT! Is it readily available everywhere? NO, Is it scalper fodder??? YES is the True FX 100% accurate with all her figs? NO is there a ''PROBLEMS WITH THIS FIGURE'' thread going? YES therefore= not good, not good at all... She is not the first openly gay female in wrestling, she is just the first to be ALLOWED to be openly gay and marketed like such... Not taking away her talent which she does have, but ffs.... she ain't that 'valuable'... PS. it is just a doll... take it easy!!!

A lot of people are just completionists and want every unique wrestler in the line, or at least everyone currently. Some people collect every single release no matter what. I am neither, but just from my observations figures like this are wanted more for those reasons as opposed to actually being a fan of the wrestler. I don’t say that as a bad thing, but to me that’s what drives these figures to be sought after by collectors and scalpers.

You’re the only one getting worked up because they made a “gay doll” YOU take it easy. maybe bingo is more your speed at this point. Probably no gays or dolls.

Dude, with all due respect, he's not wrong, but you're kinda trolling him here. Especially with the gay thing. He's just talking about the figure problems and the way she is being marketed.

I honestly don’t see an issue with them being 1 per case Target Exclusives. I have seen Liv twice and Sonya three times now. And I purchased for other members here two of each. And all three times I wasn’t out driving around various Targets trying to find them. On two of the three occasions I just happened to be at the Targets and just checked the aisle while there and on all instances the figures were just hanging on the front of the pegs. The first time I found the pair it was around 4:40 in the afternoon I had check Popfindr and saw the inventory had jumped by 8 so we were going over that way and I stopped in and found them. The other two times were random as the next time I found Sonya it was a Saturday or Sunday around noon and then last night I found both again after 6:00 in the evening picking up Liv.
So for the most part they have spent the day sitting on the pegs before I found them. And this is in an area where T0y W1z goes to these stores in the morning on a daily basis. Luckily with Targets new policy of not unloading their overnight truck until the store opens the product usually isn’t put out until late morning/noon so the product has been easier to find. Anyway once a store gets e69 in stock they aren’t/haven’t been hard to find. It was the same with Dunne. I found him 3 time when that assortment hit and all three times he was still on the pegs after 5pm.

I just paid a bit too much for Liv and Sonya on eBay and when I opened Sonya, no skirt underneath the entrance gear. So bummed. Do I have any recourse thru Mattel? I know the seller would not have known and I mangled the package to let it breathe :-) ...so going back to target is not a great option.
Thoughts?

You have a Sonya Deville figure without the skirt that you overpaid for. Much like most collectors.
