We will see. I still say she will rot on the pegs like Bossman after the local collectors get their figure. Again my local TRU went through multiple restocks of Hunter, HBK and Austin at least 3 restocks for all three before they started clogging the shelves now. I'm not sure how comparing a popular current performer to a character who hasn't been on TV in almost 20 years is relevant, just because they're in the same line.

I am not saying she isn't popular or liked by kids and adults I am saying I don't see many parents buying their sons a female figure/doll unless the parents are a collector themselves. Most non-collecting parents will look at it with the "My son is not playing with dolls" mentally. I don't know the parents you're talking to, obviously, but I do know a lot of parents, and none of them have this attitude.

There are incredible action figures in this world with unbelievable detail and QC. You know how much they cost? On the low end, as much as ten Mattel elites, and usually much more.
Yes, some figures from Mattel are subpar. But many are excellent and most are good, and for a company that churns out as many new products as Mattel does in any given year, having even a few really excellent ones and a small percentage of duds is a damn fine accomplishment.
$20 is a steal for the really good Mattel elites, not to mention when they're on sale. Shut up and enjoy the toys.

Bayley/Sasha Brooklyn ring set with entrance gear, Escalade, and wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube men.

The Sasha scan is...something. The attire and the accessories are incredible, though, so whatever.

I don't think the Charlotte scan is too bad, it's just another case of the paint apps kneecapping the sculpting. If the eyes on a particular example are too close together it throws off the whole look, and the darker lips don't make sense for Charlotte as she rarely wears anything darker than a light pink.

Tye DillyBar does absolutely nothing for me. Except put over other people. Which im fine with. He is right where he should be to me. Unfortunately, you don't see a lot of what he can do on TV. On house shows, he can literally do it all. Even saw him and Balor have a Flair-off in Charlotte and he was note perfect.

Every Renee I've seen has paint apps that make the face very derpy. Would pay for a non-derpy Renee.

What was his reaction? And how was his English? He blew me away on Wedensday with that promo. He's come a long way in a short amount of time. His English has been good for quite a while, they were just riding his mystique for as long as possible.

Got mine today, tights look much better in person. Great figure, though I might remove/lighten the lipstick.

First... Being in the video game doesn't mean a figure - but it's a step in the right direction. Mattel does not sign anyone anymore - they would have to be signed by WWE. Secondly, because he is so damn plain for him to have a Defining Moment figure it would have to include a WCW Title & WCW US Title from when he beat Hogan in the Georgia Dome. Defining Moment: The Day WCW Threw Away Millions of Dollars

I would love to see Dash and Dawson figures with the tag belts. I might be a little biased though... I worked with Dash at a little telemarketing place for about 6 months here in western NC when he was wrestling as Steven "The Fever" Walters at the National Guard Armory. Great guy. Dawson used to wrestle around Raleigh all the time as KC McKnight. The talent he had, especially compared with a lot of guys he was working with, was very clear. Very happy to see them succeed.

The orange thighs are pretty weird, but it's the debut attire for the steampunk gimmick, and also the attire from her best match in the company. Perfect for a first figure. The orange thighs makes sense. It's the same color of the stockings she was wearing at the time. They're a touch darker than her skin tone but certainly not orange. Hopefully it's just the lighting and will look better in person.

I hear they're shipping soon. Not sure about the belt variant but I'm defiantly picking up two. That outfit is terrible haha The orange thighs are pretty weird, but it's the debut attire for the steampunk gimmick, and also the attire from her best match in the company. Perfect for a first figure.

Very awesome by Mattel & WWE. I think they'd raise a nice chunk of change if they sold a run of Drax Shadows and donated the money to cancer research.

Reminds me of when they changed the boxes for the Simpsons DVD sets for season six. Lots of people got upset, so they offered a box that matched the older ones for free, but you had to send them a survey telling them that you were a humorless nerd that hates creativity and fun.

Found one Target that had them during the sale week/coupon weekend. Got the set for $12.50 and left the other two they had. Haven't seen any since in the area (central NC), or any HOF3 other than Savage.
