Can’t warm if no stores get them. Shinsuke probably killed this line and they don’t want to admit it Maybe in your area but not by me. Sure a few stores still have him but others are on wave 3 and those are gone in less than 2 days. Selling well in CT Yea the same thing here, Nakamura has been long gone, we are on to Finn and Trips for the past few months.

Two of them. I think I heard one of them whisper to me, "Who thought this was a good idea?"

I think I heard one of them whisper to me, "Who thought this was a good idea?" He was a very odd choice. I'd imagine when you're trying to market a new line, you'd want to start with some heavy hitters. They're doing it correctly now with Cena, Rock, Hogan, but what a shaky start. It seems this particular line is best suited for Legends, rather than mid career superstars. Maybe their ultimate persona hasn't even developed yet?

I agree that the line in paper probably is best suited to “legends” only, but I found WWE/Mattel licensor politics would have allowed that. I disagree on the second part though. I know I’m a broken record with this, but the Nakamura choice makes a lot of sense when one looks at when the lineups for the first two series were finalized. It’s what happened on tv between then and release that doomed that figure IMO.

Mattel should of tried to get an AJ Styles in early in the UE line instead of Shinsuke.
We all know there's probably going to be an AJ coming in one of the waves after UE6.

They probably should layoff the women for this line too for a year or two unless they do an Asuka

Could the UE line be more snakebit? You can argue either way whether these wrestlers fit the line and its price point, but they were at least major parts of tv. But by the time the figures were actually in stores or available?
Ronda - gone by the time the figure released Nakamura - dropped down the card and barely on tv Finn - moved to NXT Brock - off tv due to COVID, though I'm sure he'll still sell Becky - gone indefinitely
But even if you swap out different characters, I just don't know that there's demand for wrestlers, who already have a steady supply of Elite releases, at a $30 price point. If there wasn't the arbitrary 1/1 legend to active ratio, I think the line could thrive. But WWE obviously won't go for that.

I assume they took the belt off her to move her back to the main roster. But still her Super Cena esque booking has definitely soured many smarks, so not sure how well her figure will do even though I expect that it will look fantastic.

It’s funny they’re scared to show Liz with the removable skirt off.

Yeah it seems though WWE has found its self their version of the the Madden curse. Never really thought about how snake bitten the modern wrestlers have with this line. Charlotte should watch out. Lol

All of the UEs flew off of shelves here, Nakamura included. Last one I saw in the wild was Triple H but then he sold (As he should, great fig)
As far as Becky and Cena are concerned, I think Cena barely squeaks past Lynch as far as which is better. Love the molded details on Cena's armbands and the heads look decent enough.

I bet the next few will be: AJ, Rollins, Reigns and Austin, Taker, Savage. If they do an undertaker, ditch the title belt, extra arms, limit the heads to 2 total, AND GIVE ME A MOTORCYCLE

Does anyone else think that UE Becky is gonna warm hard? 🤷♂️ Can’t warm if no stores get them. Shinsuke probably killed this line and they don’t want to admit it But Bill said there's something wrong with you if you collect wrestling figures and don't want that Nakamura, It's not Nakamura, it's all the people who didn't want to buy him! (I hate that figure so much)
